What is the inspection requirement for new pressure vessels?
New pressure vessels must undergo inspection and verification
before being put into service to ensure they are safe, properly
installed, and compliant with applicable design and safety
requirements.
In India, inspection of new pressure vessels is required under the
Factories Act, 1948 and relevant state factory rules, along with
applicable Indian Standards issued by the Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS). These regulations ensure that pressure equipment
is safe for operation before commissioning.
Inspection requirements for new pressure vessels typically include:
- Verification of manufacturer test certificates and documentation
- Review of design compliance and material certificates
- External visual inspection for fabrication and transport damage
- Checking of safety valves, gauges, and fittings
- Verification of installation, alignment, and supports
- Hydrostatic or pressure testing (as applicable)
- Pre-commissioning safety checks before startup
