Air tightness test

2009-10-14View Original

Thread Content

A tower container was found on site undergoing air tightness testing with a pressure of 46 kg. Such high pressure, the manufacturer is very powerful, it is carried out in the manufacturing workshop, all the work next to it is the same, and all the workers are also in the workshop. Industrial accidents occur frequently in China, and serious casualties continue to occur. Are there any laws and regulations? have! Is there a regulatory authority? have! Do the operations and management staff know this? Know! But things that shouldn't happen still keep happening. Where is the root cause? ? ? Please give your opinion. Testing in the workshop is about to begin, hope everything goes well! ! !

It's so scary. If this happens... I really can't imagine it. Maybe the relevant departments don’t pay enough attention to it

After passing the hydraulic pressure test, the possibility of doing the air tightness test and blasting is very small, so they did it, but it was not standardized.

Relevant safety protection measures must be taken when doing air tightness tests

:lol It seems that they all say to take protection when doing the air pressure test, but they don’t mention the protection when doing the air tightness test. Because there is a pressure test before the air tightness test, the strength test has been verified. Of course, protection is the best.

This situation is normal in China. The equipment is too big and it costs too much money to protect it. Nowadays, many companies don’t consider this. So usually I will run farther away in this situation.

I feel that such a high air tightness test pressure is higher than the air pressure of some equipment. Although it is an air tightness test, it is best to treat it as an air pressure test and take protective measures.

The standards seem to say that protection is required during air pressure testing, but there is no mention of no protection during air tightness testing. Because there is a pressure test before the air tightness test, the strength test has been verified. The air tightness test is to check the sealing of the equipment, and of course it must be protected. The superior leaders did not care enough, and the company's production was not perfect enough.

The airtight pressure is equal to the design pressure and must be carried out after the water pressure is qualified. During the test, the pressure should rise slowly. After reaching the specified test pressure, the pressure should be maintained for 10 minutes. Then, it should be reduced to the design pressure, and soapy water should be applied to the welds and joints for leakage inspection.

Safety issues cannot be managed but must be done consciously
