Introduction
Pressure vessels operate under extreme pressure and temperature — any design flaw can lead to catastrophic failure. That’s why safety standards are non-negotiable in the fabrication process.At Griffon Process Equipments LLP, we adhere to global standards to ensure every vessel we build is safe, durable, and performance-tested.
1. ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC)
The ASME BPVC Section VIII sets the global benchmark for designing, fabricating, and testing pressure vessels. It defines requirements for material selection, design, welding, inspection, and certification.
2. Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR)
For equipment used in India, compliance with IBR 1950 is mandatory. It governs the construction, inspection, and testing of boilers and pressure vessels.
3. ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management
Ensures a systematic quality control process during fabrication, documentation, and testing.
4. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Standards
Includes Radiography, Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Particle, and Dye Penetrant Tests to detect hidden flaws and ensure integrity.
5. Welding Certification (ASME Section IX)
Specifies welder qualifications, procedures, and inspection standards critical to vessel safety.
6. Material Traceability & Mill Test Reports (MTRs)
Every steel plate, flange, and fitting must have a certified MTR proving its grade and composition.
7. Hydrostatic & Pneumatic Testing
Final proof tests ensure the vessel can withstand operating and test pressures safely before dispatch.
8. Third-Party Inspection (TPI)
Agencies like Lloyd’s, TUV, BV, or SGS verify compliance with international standards.
9. Documentation & Certification
Proper records of design calculations, welding procedures, and inspection reports are essential for legal and operational validation.
