Due to demand, we have now introduced PSSR 2000 thorough examinations to our engineering inspection services.

If you own an air receiver (compressed air storage tank) then it is a legal requirement to ensure that it remains in a safe and suitable condition for further service.

Your air compressor should be maintained in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. Contact us for further information.

A thorough examination on your pressure vessel entails the following:

1) Internal visual examination with an endoscope, checking for excess corrosion / wastage and sludge deposits in which the latter can cause maintenance issues.

2) Shell thickness readings taken with a Digital Ultrasonic Thickness Reading Meter. This information assists us with ascertaining the overall condition of your air receiver with regards to internal corrosion and wastage.

3) We will remove the safety valve which is a critical safety component and then test on our calibrated test gauge for its correct operating venting pressure.

4) We will also remove and test the accuracy of the pressure gauge.

5) Finally, we will issue a report of thorough examination and then sign & update (if necessary) your Written Scheme of Examination (WSE).

We can provide a basic single page WSE if required.

A WSE is a document which provides a competent person with information on how to thoroughly examine a particular pressure vessel.

This document also depicts the examination frequencies.
