Consulting about issues with boiler, turbine, and steam pipelines
Thread Content
The company has a steam boiler that drives a turbine. Due to the introduction of new projects, it is now necessary to move the turbine; of course, the connected steam pipelines also need to be altered. Does anyone know what procedures are required for this? I asked the Special Inspection Institute, and they said that according to the newly implemented \"Boiler Safety Technical Regulations\" TSG11-2020, supervision and inspection are only carried out for modifications to the boiler itself or changes in the combustion method. So what should be done in cases like ours? Is no paperwork required? Just design changes? Is it enough to put in place the necessary measures and construction plans, as well as carry out flaw detection tests?
It’s just a matter of moving it to another location; there should be no need for further actions, right? As long as the subsequent design and construction are done properly, that should be enough
It doesn’t seem right to follow the pressure pipeline approach either; these pipelines fall under the category of pipes related to boilers, but they are not part of the boiler itself.
Pipelines within the boiler area should be designed as pressure pipelines.
Which standard specifies that the pipes within the boiler area are to be managed as pressure pipes?
In the case of design changes, procedures for pressure pipelines also need to be carried out.
