Pressure vessel displacement
Thread Content
The pressure vessel has been in operation for nearly two years; this year it needs to be moved due to the construction of a new factory building. Is it necessary to conduct an inspection after the relocation?
In my opinion, there is no need to submit it to the **Quality Supervision Bureau or its local affiliated agency (the Boiler Inspection Institute) for inspection. However, necessary self-inspections (monthly and annual inspections) must be carried out. The reason is that the relocation of pressure vessels is equivalent to reinstallation and falls outside the scope of supervised inspection. For details, see Chapters 6.1 and 6.2 of the ‘Solid Content Regulations’ in the screenshot
The original poster didn’t provide specific details; are the new factory building and the existing one located in the same area? Handle each specific case individually.
How should we understand the “new construction” mentioned by the poster? Should it be demolished at the original site and rebuilt, or not? . . .
If it is built new within the original factory, no re-registration is required; if it is moved to a new address, then re-registration is necessary.
For specific details, refer to clause 2.13 of TSG08-2017. Regarding transfer equipment, it is also necessary to consult the local special equipment inspection agency to determine whether inspection is required.
It was to make room by moving from the east side of the original factory building to its west section, and that factory building is 300m long
A thorough visual inspection before reinstalling is necessary, and further testing will be determined based on the results of this inspection. Communication with the special inspection team should be carried out before disassembly and assembly.
Same operating conditions, same purpose, same parameters – not necessary
