inspection of pressure vessel door

Our power generation customer uses pressure vessels  in various applications. A tragic accident highlighted the critical importance to them in ensuring that each vessel meets all the appropriate boiler pressure vessel codes. Because vessels tend to expand and contract under different operating conditions, proper clearance is extremely critical in ensuring doors are sealed appropriately to prevent leakages of either high pressure steam or chemicals. In a nutshell, having tight tolerances is crucial to equipment reliability but more so in ensuring it doesn’t compromise safety requirements. To ascertain tight tolerances can be achieved, our customer utilized our 3D laser scanning services which ensured that the contour of the door was maintained with appropriate dimensions which ensured that a tight fitting door was achieved to prevent leakages.
