This comprehensive sister volume to Cliff Matthews’ highly successful Handbook of Mechanical Works Inspection gives a detailed coverage of pressure equipment and other mechanical plant such as cranes and rotating equipment. Key features: Accessible source of information Lavishly illustrated with numerous diagrams, photographs, and tables A wealth of valuable information Detailed, comprehensive coverage Written in easily accessible style A ‘must buy’ reference book The Handbook of Mechanical In-Service Inspection is a vital source of information for: plant owners and operators maintenance engineers inspection engineers from insurance companies and ‘competent bodies’ who perform in-service inspection health and safety operatives engineers operating pressure systems and mechanical plant all those concerned with the safe and efficient operation of machinery, plant, and pressure equipment. All engineering pressure systems and other types of mechanical equipment must be installed, operated, and maintained properly. It must be safe and comply with standards, regulations, and guidelines. In-service inspection is more formally controlled by statutory requirements than other types of inspection. The Handbook of Mechanical In-service Inspection puts a good deal of emphasis on the ‘compliance’ aspects and the ‘duty of care’ requirements placed on plant owners, operators, and inspectors. The book is suitable for those who operate pressure systems, lifting equipment, and similar mechanical plant are subject to rigorous inspection from external bodies as a matter of course. All operators have a duty to conduct in-service checks and internal inspection procedures to ensure the safe, reliable, and economic running of their equipment.

This industry guide is intended for inspectors or other individuals involved in the source inspection of new construction of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, fabricated piping and other fixed equipment. Source inspections is a broad technical subject involving a wide variety of technologies and manufacturing capability. Large EPC contracts with multi-national manufacturing bring their own requirements for coordination, specification compliance and the quality of manufacturers. Worldwide the adoption of ASME, API, and EN codes in diverse industries helps to bring a sound technical base to specifications and the activities of source inspection. Part A: SOURCE INSPECTION OF FIXED EQUIPMENT The role of the source inspector; tactics of source inspection (how to do it); inspecting materials; inspecting NDE; inspecting pressure vessels; inspecting valves; inspecting structures and steelwork; inspecting surface preparation and painting;. Part B: API SIFE EXAM PREPARATION The API Individual Certificate Program; the API SIFE exam - what to expect; the SIFE body of knowledge and study guide; metallurgy and materials; non-destructive evaluation (NDE); welding processes; structural steelwork; pipework; pressure vessels; valves and components; pressure testing; surface preparation.
