Flammable, Explosive, Hazardous and Hazardous Substances Storage Tank Periodic Inspection and Inspection

In our country, in foreign countries, petroleum, petroleum products, natural gas, mines, chemicals and industrial branches such as these, under normal operating conditions in various failures or maintenance situations are exposed to flammable and explosive environment due to leaking gases or vapors. Businesses must take the necessary measures to avoid these situations. Otherwise, there are explosions in the workplaces and major damages in terms of human health and property safety.

Preventing the formation of flammable and explosive environments, or at least taking precautions to minimize their effects, means avoiding many possible accidents. It is also a legal obligation for enterprises operating in sectors with this risk to take general security measures and implement them.

Businesses need to consider a few important points in risk assessment. For example, the likelihood and continuity of a flammable and explosive environment, the presence of sources of ignition including static electricity, the business processes of the business and their interactions and the magnitude of the impact of the explosion.

In this regard, regular checks of storage tanks for flammable, explosive, dangerous and harmful substances in the establishments are of great importance. ÇThe Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security accepts such tanks in the group of pressure vessels and installations. In this respect, said storage tanks should be inspected and inspected at least once a year by authorized mechanical engineers, high technicians and machine technicians.

Hydrostatic tests, which are the basic principle of these checks, should be applied and if no other criteria are specified in the standards, they should be done with 1,5 times the operating pressure of the tanks. However, if the hydrostatic test cannot be carried out in the compulsory cases caused by the operation, then the non-destructive testing methods specified in the standards should be applied.

Our company carries out periodic controls and inspections of flammable, explosive, dangerous and harmful substances storage tanks within the framework of regular controls of pressure vessels in accordance with the relevant legal regulations and standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations.
