Inspection of pressure equipment
Why have your
pressure equipment inspected?
In the event of failure, pressure equipment can cause serious damage to people, property and the environment. It must therefore be kept in good condition at all times to ensure it works properly and to prevent accidents.
The risks in the event of malfunction are numerous: explosion, leakage of hazardous substances (toxic gases, flammable or corrosive fluids, etc.), poisoning, fire, but also production stoppages or regulatory penalties in the event of non-compliance.
Periodic inspections are therefore essential to ensure the reliability of these devices and the safety of users.

Your questions about inspecting pressure equipment
-
Who are your pressure equipment inspection services aimed at?Our services are aimed at any company or organisation that uses pressure equipment, whether it be an industrial site, a tertiary establishment, a residential building, a public organisation or an energy production facility.
-
What are the risks associated with poor maintenance of gas pressure equipment?In accordance with current regulations, gas pressure equipment must be equipped with suitable control and safety devices and components.
Whether used for domestic, commercial or industrial purposes, for cooling, energy production, gas storage or gas transmission, these installations can be dangerous if not properly maintained. A simple maintenance fault or incorrect handling can lead to an explosion or the appliance breaking. This can result in high-speed projections of debris, shock waves or leaks of hazardous liquids or gases (poisoning, inflammation, explosion, etc.). -
Why have your steam pressure equipment inspected?Steam pressure equipment is commonly used both in our everyday environment (pressure cookers, coffee makers, etc.) and in industrial settings (power plants, reactors in the oil and chemical industries, factories and other industrial establishments) in the form of boilers or autoclaves. However, they can be dangerous if they are not regularly maintained and inspected.
For this reason, the inspection of steam pressure equipment is a legal requirement. This inspection is necessary to ensure that the equipment is in good working order and complies with safety standards. -
What causes pressure equipment to deteriorate?Pressure equipment can be subject to many forms of deterioration that can lead to damage or even destruction. The most common include corrosion, cracking in areas subject to high stress or along welds, and improper use outside the pressure or temperature limits specified by the manufacturer. For example, at equal temperatures and volumes, steam can burn up to five times more than water, illustrating the risks associated with poor control of the operating conditions of pressure equipment.
