Elaboração de relatório de inspeção periódica em caldeira flamotubular à lenha de uma indústria têxtil no Agreste Pernambucano

Abstract

This work presents the development of a periodic safety inspection report in accordance with the Brazilian’s Regulatory Standard 13 of a wood burning firetube boiler in a textile industry within the state of Pernambuco. The report presents all the conducted procedures descriptions and results, where Non-Destructive Evaluations were applied in order to confirm the boiler’s structural conditions, acquiring the information needed to calculate the shells and drums minimum thicknesses calculated as specified in ASME’s BPVC Section I, thus attesting that the equipment is able to operate within the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure determined in accordance with the boiler’s technical documentation. The results shows that the equipment is able to operate within the stipulated Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure, although it is necessary to elaborate a Repair and Modification Design, since it was discovered that were mad changes to the boiler’s pressurized parts which were not documented in previous periodic safety reports.
