Inspection
9.4.1
Pressure-bearing components
Comply with all applicable national regulations for the operation of pressure
equipment. Before testing pressurised parts, they must first be depressurised
(see disassembly).
For vessels compliant with EN 13831, the following applies:
Material fatigue does not arise from the intended use in heating and cold water
systems (see also EN 13831 para. 6.1.8).
9.4.2
Inspection prior to commissioning
In Germany, follow the Industrial Safety Regulation
[Betriebssicherheitsverordnung] Section 14 and Section 14 (3) No. 6 in
particular. This regulation demands an inspection prior to commissioning only for
PS∙V > 50 bar x litres. This is not the case with this device. Customised systems
with special spray tubes may be affected, in which case the shipping documents
will contain a corresponding note.
9.4.3
Inspection intervals
Recommended maximum inspection intervals for operation in Germany pursuant
to Section 16 of the Industrial Safety Directive [Betriebssicherheitsverordnung]
and the classification of the device vessels in diagram 2 of the Directive
2014/68/EC, applicable in strict compliance with the Reflex Installation,
Operation and Maintenance Manual.
For vessels compliant with EN 13831, the following applies:
Material fatigue does not arise from the intended use in heating and cold water
systems (see also EN 13831 para. 6.1.8)
External inspection:
No requirement according to Annex 2, para. 4, 5.8.
Internal inspection:
Maximum interval according to Annex 2, para. 4, 5 and 6; if necessary, suitable
replacement actions are to be taken (such as wall thickness measurement and
comparison with the design specification which may be requested from the
manufacturer).
For deep-drawn vessels, no corrosion margin is provided for (EN 13831, para.
6.3.2.6.2).
Strength test:
Maximum interval according to Annex 2, para. 4, 5 and 6.
Furthermore, compliance with Section 16 of the Industrial Safety Directive and
here in particular Section 16 (1) in connection with Section 15 and in particular
Annex 2, para. 4, 6.6 and Annex 2, para. 4, 5.8, must be ensured.
The actual intervals must be specified by the operating company based on a
safety evaluation taking into consideration the actual operating conditions,
experience with the mode of operation and charging material and the applicable
national regulations for the operation of pressure equipment.
