IBR STANDARD INSPECTION PROCEDURES

 








A-Standard Inspection procedure for Dry & thorough inspection

  • Checking the registration number of the Boilers
  • Carryout thorough inspection of Boiler from both inside and out side
  • Check for defects like corrosion, erosion, bend, bulging, pitting, deformation, thermal expansion etc of pressure parts
  • Check thickness of pressure parts
  • Check the conditions of mountings & fittings
  • Witness non destructive tests if required

B-Standard procedure for ground inspection of pressure parts under erection

  • Verification of documents of pressure parts with relevant certificates
  • Verification of approved drawings
  • Checking pressure parts makers stamp & other identification marks with form no-II
  • Checking of leading dimension of the parts & comparing with approved drawings
  • Checking general condition of the pressure parts like dent marks, pitting, bend etc
  • Checking of fittings & mountings with relevant drawings

C-Standard procedure for material inspection

  • Verification of the approved drawings corresponding to the materials & documents
  • Checking of the pressure parts materials with relevant IBR certificate and  approved drawing.Check name of the material, its specification, heat no, cast no.class, size, identification number & stamping etc
  • Checking of leading dimension of the parts & comparing with approved drawings
  • Checking general condition of the pressure parts like dent marks, pitting, bend etc
