Translation of technical terms related to pressure vessel inspection?
Thread Content
1. The external surfaces of the vessel should be examined not only for corrosion but also for leaks, buckles, bulges, and defects in the metal plates. How should \"buckles\" and \"bulges\" be translated? 2. The external surfaces should be checked for laminations and mechanical damage. What is another term for laminations?
For reference: buckles: fasteners; bulges: protrusions. 1. The external surfaces of the vessel should be inspected not only for corrosion but also for leaks, buckles, bulges, and defects in the metal. The outer surfaces of the container need to be checked not only for signs of corrosion but also for any holes, fasteners, protrusions, or other defects in the metal. 2. The external surfaces should be checked for laminations and mechanical damage. Delamination and mechanical damage on the external surfaces need to be inspected. layering
Swell up then; having a bulging belly looks a bit ugly, hehe! Does “lamination” mean layering? I think it’s a type of weld defect, but I just can’t remember the term. Furthermore, it should not be translated as a metal flaw; it should be a leak in the container! The poster probably isn’t majoring in chemical engineering machinery!

It is recommended to look up these technical terms in an engineering dictionary: 1. – It is necessary to check for corrosion, leaks, intermediate waves, warping, and metal defects. 2. – Scaling and mechanical damage
Buckles, bulges => Dents, protrusions. Lamination means layering; I’m not sure what the term is in this context
I think it’s better to look at the various **inspection standards for pressure vessels** and then understand them more accurately based on the current context. I think the original poster should take a look at these standards to help with understanding.
Lamination. It is a type of discontinuity characterized by separation or weakness that is generally aligned parallel to the worked surface of the metal. This defect arises during the rolling process of steel plates; it can only be detected in cross-sections, is not visible on the surface, and cannot be detected by RT either. It can only be identified using UT, especially in the case of thick plates

“Buckles” is translated as “foldings,” but sometimes it is also translated as “instability.” Is there a different translation for each situation? Discussion is welcome.
