The main regulations covering pressure equipment and systems are the Pressure Equipment Regulations 1999 and the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, which stipulate that a written scheme of examination is required prior to use; this is an inspection and is not a substitute for regular, routine maintenance.

We draw up a scheme that identifies which parts of a system require examination, nature and frequency of testing and whether equipment is in or out of service

For internal defect detection, we use state of the art Non-Destructive Testing ultrasonic methods in the inspection of pressure vessels and examine them for flaws and defects that compromise their safety.

Examples of pressure systems and equipment that we test are:

• Boilers and steam heating systems.
• Pressurised process plant and piping.
• Compressed air systems (fixed and portable).
• Pressure cookers, autoclaves and retorts.
• Heat exchangers and refrigeration plant.
• Valves, steam traps and filters.
• Pipework and hoses.
• Pressure gauges and level indicators.
