Pressure Vessels, V Piping Systems and Storage Tanks s are the major r installations in n Petroleum Re efineries, Petrochem mical Plants, Oil l Terminals and d other process s plants. They handle variety of fluids, which h may be explo osive, corrosive or o toxic in natur re. The equipm ments are also subjected s to hig gh pressures and a temperatur res. All these fa actors may cause e corrosion and d other damage es to the vital equipments. sion may cause e thinning, pittin ng or cracking of o vessel walls. The internal pressure p will te end to burst the e The corros vessels or piping at the co orroded locatio ons, releasing the t explosive or o toxic contents resulting in serious nces to the plan nt, personnel and the people at large.
