Can pressure vessels be demolished and reused after reaching their designed service life? The current location of use and the location of use after demolition are in two different prefecture-level cities, with separate supervisory authorities as well. Consulting an expert: Do the local supervision authorities conduct an assessment of the land after demolition and issue a use permit?
It is necessary to first commission a specialized equipment inspection agency to conduct the inspection; only after it passes can it proceed.
1. The supervisory authorities will not provide an appraisal; it is not within their scope of responsibilities. 2. Pressure vessels come with a valid service life indicated on their nameplates; pressure vessels within this valid service life are permitted for use by the local regulatory authorities. 3. When reusing old equipment, it must be inspected by a qualified equipment testing agency, which shall issue a test report; otherwise, there are significant safety risks.
Thank you to all the experts for their help, thank you!
When the deadline arrives and the area still needs to be demolished for use, that will create problems for the special inspection authorities; just wait and see!
The cost of a comprehensive evaluation is compared to that of purchasing a new one, for economic and safety assessments!
Risk-based inspections and periodic inspections must be approved before continued use is permitted.
Watch my lips: No, it’s not allowed
Of course, I’m not saying this casually. It is clearly stipulated in TSG 08-2017 3.8.6.
Why would a group of people make jokes at the expense of the host? The purpose is probably to force the owner to get stuck tightly to this nail.
