Stages of Inspection for Fabricated Equipments like Reactors / Heat Exchangers / Columns / Pressure Vessels
- Approval of detailed fabrication drawings submitted by vendor/client. Discuss and confirm schedule of work and review progress.
- Material identification based on Mill Certificates or testing at Laboratories.
- Stamp transfer on all pressure parts.
- Testing and approval of welding procedures and welders.
- Approval of Electrodes, Filler Wires and other welding consumables, etc.
- All set ups of long seams, circumferential seams and back chips, etc.
- Dishes after forming.
- Set ups of all nozzles, manways, hand hole pads, etc., and back chips of the same. Checking of critical dimensions for matching parts of agitators.
- Viewing of Radiographs, heat treatment procedures and any other NDT/DT.
- Checking of Tube Sheets with GO and NO GO Gauges for tube hole tolerances, Ligaments, Grooves, etc.
- Mock up test to approve expansion of Tube to Tube Sheet joints and welding of tube to tube sheet.
- Dynamic balancing of Agitator shaft above 100 RPM and static balancing of shafts below 100 RPM along with anchors /
impellers, etc.
- Running trials outside the vessel and measuring deflection with dial gauge for agitators.
- Running trials inside the vessel at operating pressures.
- Hydraulic test, pneumatic test, vacuum test as required.
- Final dimensional checking, finishing, painting, polishing, etc.
- Approval of packing, supporting of shaft inside the vessel as assembled, etc., clearance for transportation.
- Submission of status report every two weeks.
- Preparation and submission of inspection documents to client.
