The Cost of a Missed Weld Defect
A pressure vessel commissioned without proper radiographic inspection can carry internal defects – porosity, slag inclusions, incomplete penetration – that are invisible to the eye but catastrophic under load. When that vessel fails during operation, you are looking at unplanned shutdown costs, AIA enforcement action, potential OHSA criminal liability, and possible fatalities.
The Pressure Equipment Regulations (Government Notice R734) are unambiguous: Category II and above pressure equipment requires AIA-verified NDE as part of the SANS 347 conformity assessment process. Without a proper RT record, your equipment cannot legally be commissioned or operated.
Glospech's radiographic inspection service eliminates that risk – on your site, on your schedule, with documentation your AIA will accept first time.
