This video illustrates a plant-wide mechanical integrity program focusing on the inspection of thirteen pressure vessels. TechCorr personnel demonstrate a coordinated approach to external vessel evaluation, emphasizing safety protocols, such as confined space discipline, while performing assessments from the exterior. The inspection process integrates multiple diagnostic activities to gather data on the condition and remaining life of the plant inventory. Real-time documentation on tablets is utilized to manage the data gathered during the field program, ensuring that vessel integrity is maintained through systematic examination.
What this video covers
- Performance of external visual examinations on vessel shells, heads, and insulation jackets.
- Inspection of nozzle and connection integrity across the plant inventory.
- Execution of conventional ultrasonic testing to obtain thickness readings at designated condition monitoring locations.
- Utilization of data collected to establish corrosion rates and remaining life assessments for the vessels.
This field demonstration highlights the procedural consistency applied during a large-scale mechanical integrity mobilization.
