    Basle Chemical Industries Guidelines for Implementation of PED

    Not a typo on my part, but I nw suspect it should be Basel. They appear to be a group of chemical companies in Basel and have written some technical guidance on various topics, including implementing the Pressure Equipment Directive. I was hoping someone else had come across them and could tell...

    Basle Chemical Industries Guidelines for Implementation of PED

    Has anyone come across these? Used them? Any opinions?

    Atmospheric storage vessels' pressure / vac rating

    I am a UK engineer, looking at "fitness for purpose" calculations for atmospheric (low pressure) storage vessels. These are often vertical cylinders with dished ends, and therefore do not fit the atmospheric tank codes. My colleague who is carrying out relief calculations for similar tanks has...

    Inspecting a jacketed vessel

    Pharmaceutical active ingredients - so generally toxic rather than flammable. Vessel sizes vary from 800 litres to 2200 litres.

    Inspecting a jacketed vessel

    What NDT techniques are available to assist in inspecting a jacketed vessel where access to the inside of the vessel (and of course the jacket) is difficult? UT is not great but does anyone have experience of the newer radiography techniques? Would they work? I need a technique for checking wall...

    UK pressure regulations

    Thank you. I had come to the conclusion that it was not included but was not confident in the decision. Reminding me to consider accidental pressurisation is most helpful.

    UK pressure regulations

    I have a reactor on a chemical plant which does not come under the UK pressure systems regulations as it is not pressurised. However, as it is a multipurpose vessel, it is possible to apply cooling water, glycol or hot water to the jacket. Does anyone know whether the hot water configuration...
