Ask whether the workers must hold a special equipment operator certificate to be able to work Answer: Yes. Question: How often must a certificate for special equipment operators be renewed? Answer: Every 4 years. Question: When should special equipment be registered with the local quality supervision department? Answer: Within 30 days before or after the special equipment is put into use. Question: Within how much time before the expiration of the valid period for the safety inspection of special equipment, should an application for a regular inspection be submitted to the special equipment inspection agency? Answer: 1 month. Question: What procedures must be followed when special equipment is not in use or is scrapped and removed? Answer: An application should be submitted to the local quality supervision department to suspend or cancel it. Question: How can special equipment that has been taken out of use be put back into operation? Answer: It must be reported to the local geological supervision department, and can only be put into use after passing the inspection. Question: What should be indicated by a red line on the dial of a pressure gauge? Answer: It indicates the maximum allowable operating pressure. Question: How to ensure that the water level gauge remains unobstructed and prevent false water levels from forming? Answer: The water level gauge should be flushed once per shift, and any leaks in the steam and water cocks of the water level gauge must be fixed. Question: It has been found that the boiler in operation is low on water – can water be added urgently? Answer: Water cannot be added; the furnace must be shut down immediately. Question: How to shut down the furnace urgently? Answer: Stop supplying fuel and stop air supply, remove or scoop out the fuel from inside the furnace, so that the boiler cools down gradually. Question: How to perform emergency venting after an emergency shutdown of the furnace? Answer: Close the main steam valve to isolate the boiler from the main steam pipe ; Gradually exhaust air outward through the safety valve or emergency vent to reduce the air pressure. Question: How to prevent the safety valve disc from rusting? Answer: Manual or automatic venting tests should be carried out regularly. Question: How many types are there for the regular inspection of pressure vessels? Answer: It includes a comprehensive visual inspection and a pressure resistance test. Question: What should be done in an emergency when it is necessary to stop operation? Answer: First, quickly cut off the power supply and stop the material transfer ; Then quickly open the outlet valve to release the gas or material, and open the vent valve if necessary. Question: What should be checked before starting the operation? Answer: Check whether the air pump, air tank, pipes, valves, and safety accessories are in good condition. Question: Can the maximum operating pressure of a pressure vessel during use be higher than the design pressure? Answer: No, it’s not allowed. Question: What should be noted when the container starts to be pressurized? Answer: The speed should not be too fast to prevent a sudden increase in pressure. Question: Can the compression bolts be removed under pressure? Answer: No, it is not possible; the pump must be stopped, and air must be removed to relieve pressure before proceeding. Question: What is the position of the pressure gauge pointer when there is no pressure? The response should be at the limit pin or back to the zero value. Question: Why is safety monitoring carried out on it? Answer: Boilers, pressure vessels, and pressure pipelines are special types of equipment with explosion hazards that are widely used in production and daily life. Question: What are the oversight systems? Answer: The design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and modification of special equipment must be carried out in accordance with the Regulations on the Safety Supervision of Special Equipment; relevant activities can only be undertaken after obtaining a license as required by law. Before putting special equipment into use or within 30 days after its deployment, the user entity shall register it with the safety supervision and management department. The registration mark shall be placed in a prominent position on the device. The users of special equipment shall, in accordance with the regular inspection requirements specified in the safety technical regulations, submit a request for regular inspection to the special equipment inspection and testing agency 1 month before the expiration of the valid period for which the safety inspection was approved. Special equipment must be inspected regularly; those who use special equipment that has not been inspected regularly or has failed such inspections shall be fined up to 20,000 yuan. Those who use pressure vessels that have not undergone regular inspections or have failed such inspections to store hazardous chemicals shall be fined not less than 20,000 yuan but not more than 200,000 yuan. The safety accessories, safety protection devices, and measurement and control devices of special equipment must be inspected regularly in accordance with relevant requirements. Personnel operating special equipment must pass the assessment conducted by the authorities responsible for the safety supervision and management of such equipment, and obtain a certificate for special equipment operators before they can engage in the corresponding operations or management tasks.
