Steam Vessels
- Description
- This type of plant is generally installed in steam systems to provide steam storage space to prevent undue fluctuations of pressure as demand rises or falls.
- Applicable Legislation
- PSSR
- Periodicity of Inspection
- 26 months
- Why Inspect It
- The main hazard with this type of plant is that the vessel may fail because its safe working pressure has been exceeded or because its ability to withstand pressure has been reduced through in-service degradation e.g. corrosion or fatigue.
