1. Whether the pressure vessel should be scrapped or sentenced to scrap should mainly be based on the conclusion of the periodic inspection report issued by the special equipment inspection and testing agency.; 2. The second step is to assess the safety level of the container after periodic inspections. Generally, containers rated as Level 5 are considered scrap containers and should be scrapped. ; 3. Regarding the assessment standards for the safety status level of pressure vessels, please check the relevant content of Chapter 5 of the Safety Condition Level Assessment of TSG R7001-2004 "Periodic Inspection Rules for Pressure Vessels" ; 4. Containers that are not used temporarily due to changes in process conditions are generally not treated as scrapped. ; Changes in the process conditions of the vessel can sometimes be considered a major modification of the pressure vessel. Note: According to Article 124 of the Regulations: “Major modification of a pressure vessel refers to changing the structure of the main pressure components or changing the operating parameters, medium or purpose of the pressure vessel. ” For reference!

All pressure vessels belonging to the following types must be scrapped. 1. Pressure vessels that are deemed to be scrapped due to policy regulations stipulated by the Ministry of Labor. 2. The safety level is judged to be Level 5 after inspection by the pressure vessel inspection station. 3. After being inspected by the pressure vessel inspection station, the safety level of the pressure vessel is rated as level 4 and the defects cannot be repaired or have no repair value. After being monitored and used for one inspection cycle, the safety level is still rated as level 4 after passing the inspection.
