Subparagraph 2.1.1. of the article 2.1. Pressure Vessels and Installations, subparagraph 2.1.1. of the article Work Equipment Subject to Periodic Control “Hydrostatic testing is essential as a basic principle in pressure vessels. These tests are carried out with 1,5 times the operating pressure and for periods not exceeding one year, unless otherwise specified in the standards. However, in pressure vessels where hydrostatic testing is not possible due to the characteristics of the work equipment and mandatory conditions arising from the operation, non-destructive tests specified in the standards instead of hydrostatic testing
inspection methods can also be applied. In this case, the periodic control to be organized
This issue is stated in the reports together with its justification.”
In the Heating Boiler inspections, the determination that the relevant equipment and auxiliary equipment meet the legal requirements safely is ensured by checking the equipment by methods such as pressure tests and non-destructive testing.
