Gansu Lanzhou No. 2 Thermal Power Plant Zhang Hongyu Gansu Electric Power Research Institute Song Shaohe 6471998 Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspection Regulations, combined with equipment overhaul, if some technical inspections are missed during the inspection or the quality of the overhaul is poor, overhaul will occur. A series of problems such as water and oil system failure and valve leakage. Therefore, the formulation of technical requirements and welding quality assurance measures in comprehensive inspection and overhaul can effectively prevent the occurrence of some equipment accidents during operation.

1 Overview 1.1 The defects of in-service boilers and pressure vessels have to go through a process from occurrence to development to an accident. Such as cracks, corrosion, deformation, etc. of the pressure element did not happen suddenly. If technical inspections are carried out during the overhaul, that is, internal and external inspections, defects can be found in time, its development trend can be grasped, and corresponding measures can be taken to prevent accidents.

1.2 If the minor defects found in the inspection of boilers and pressure vessels are not repaired in time and correctly according to quality construction measures, the damage speed will be accelerated and the service life will be shortened. Otherwise, the service life of boilers and pressure vessels will be increased.

3 Defects found in the inspection of boilers and pressure vessels shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of DL612-1996 Boiler and Pressure Vessel Supervision Regulations.
