Pressure Vessel NDT Inspection in Boksburg

Why Pressure Vessels Demand Rigorous NDT

Pressure vessels contain massive amounts of stored energy. Due to the extreme pressures and temperatures involved in petrochemical, power generation, and processing industries, the structural integrity of these vessels is strictly governed by ASME Section VIII, API 510, and SANS 347.

A missed flaw in a pressure vessel can result in catastrophic rupture, environmental contamination, and loss of life.

Our Pressure Vessel Inspection Workflow

FlawTech provides comprehensive Non-Destructive Testing NDT Boksburg to ensure your pressure vessels meet all applicable codes. Our inspection workflow includes:

1. Visual Inspection — Assessing external and internal surface condition, corrosion, and mechanical damage

2. Industrial Radiography — Proving volumetric integrity of primary shell and nozzle welds with permanent radiographic records

3. Ultrasonic Testing — Scanning weld roots and heat-affected zones for lack of fusion and sub-surface cracking

4. Thickness Testing — Mapping corrosion patterns and verifying minimum wall thickness for safe continued operation

5. Hardness Testing — Verifying post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) effectiveness on pressure-bearing welds

Applicable Standards

• ASME Section VIII — Pressure Vessels
• API 510 — Pressure Vessel Inspection Code (In-Service)
• SANS 347 — Categorization and Conformity Assessment of Pressure Equipment
