1 Introduction
Non-destructive testing was also carried out: X-ray and ultrasonic inspection of
-
the meter housing for defective points in material, surface crack testing with mag-
netic powder and a color penetration process
Strength tests for components were conducted at 1.5 times the nominal pressure
-
for the pressure testing; the leak testing for the assembly was conducted at 1.1.
times the nominal pressure. Certificates were issued for successfully passed tests
10
The maximum operating pressure and the permissible temperature range are
-
specified on the type plate of the device. Operation of the device is only permitted
within these specified ranges.
- A maximal temperature difference of ΔT ≤ 100°K between the inside and outside
of the TME400 must be respected.
- Additional external forces and torques were not taken into account in the pressure
dimensioning.
- In the event that the pressure equipment is to be marketed and put into operation
as an assembly within the meaning of the Pressure Equipment-Directive, an ex-
amination of the assembly must be provided at the latest during the final and
pressure tests.
Otherwise, the commissioning inspector must explicitly point out that a test of the
equipment location with safety function still has to be performed at the installation
site.
