Cossack Inspections can provide services anywhere within Australia. Cossack Inspections is affordable and can accommodate the needs of the clients without comprising the quality of the jobs.
A 10 Year/ Major inspection is an overall examination of the structural and mechanical components of the machine after a certain time of use. This inspection is more extensive than routine checks and is typically mandated by regulatory authorities to ensure the ongoing safety and reliability of the equipment. The key activities in a 10 Year/ Major Inspections include Structural Inspection, Mechanical Inspection, Wire Rope Inspection, Load Testing, Electrical System Inspection, Safety Device Testing, Documentation Review, Certification Renewal, Environmental Considerations and Review Of Manufacturer Recommendations.
Annual inspections are routine examinations performed on machines to ensure their safe and efficient operation. These inspections are essential for identifying and addressing potential issues early on, maintaining compliance with regulations, and preventing accidents.
Cossack Inspection provides NDT Inspection to check structural and weld integrity. NDT or Non-Destructive Testing is a combination of inspection techniques used to evaluate the integrity of materials, components, or structures without causing damage. Cossack Inspection provides the following NDT inspections.
Eddy Current Inspections:
It is used to detect the defects in the surface and subsurface of conductive materials. This process involves inducing Eddy currents in conductive materials and any change in the electrical conductivity indicates the presence of defects.
Magnetic Particle Inspections:
It is used to detect the defects in the surface and near-surface of ferromagnetic materials. The process involves applying Magnetic particles to the surface of the material and any presence of magnetic field leakage indicates the presence of defects.
Ultrasonic Inspections:
It is used to detect the internal flaws or thickness measurements in materials. In this process, high-frequency sound waves are transmitted through a material, and echoes are analysed to identify defects or measure thickness.
Pressure vessel inspection is a crucial aspect of ensuring the safety, integrity, and compliance of vessels that contain pressurized fluids or gases. Pressure vessels are used in various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and manufacturing. Regular inspections help identify potential issues, prevent failures, and ensure that vessels meet safety standards. The pressure vessel inspection involves the following activities:
Visual Inspection:
A visual examination of the pressure vessel’s external and internal surfaces to identify any visible signs of corrosion, leaks, or damage.
Thickness Measurement:
Using techniques such as ultrasonic inspection or magnetic particle inspection to measure the thickness of the vessel walls. This helps assess the extent of corrosion and determine if the vessel is within acceptable thickness limits.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT):
Utilizing various NDT methods such as ultrasonic inspection, radiographic inspection, magnetic particle inspection, or liquid penetrant inspection to detect defects or flaws in the material without causing damage to the vessel.
Hydrostatic Testing:
Pressurising the vessel with water or another suitable liquid to check for leaks or structural weaknesses. This test is typically performed after repairs or alterations to ensure the vessel’s integrity.
Functional Testing:
Verifying the proper functioning of safety devices, relief valves, pressure gauges, and other instrumentation associated with the pressure vessel.
Review of Documentation:
Checking and updating documentation related to the pressure vessel, including design specifications, fabrication records, and previous inspection reports.
Corrosion Monitoring:
Monitoring and assessing corrosion rates through methods like corrosion coupons, thickness monitoring, or electro-chemical techniques.
External Inspection:
Examination of external components, supports, and foundations to identify any issues that may affect the structural integrity of the pressure vessel.
Risk Assessment:
Conducting a risk assessment to identify potential hazards and determine the level of risk associated with the pressure vessel’s operation.
