Sectors
Petrochemical and Pressure Vessels
Fabrication and in-service inspection plus conformity assessment services for pressure vessels, reactors and process equipment in petrochemical plants.
Petrochemical plants house high-value, high-risk equipment in the form of reactors, columns, pressure vessels and extensive interconnected process piping networks. The cyclic loading, temperature fluctuation and aggressive fluid environment to which this equipment is exposed during welded fabrication and in service give rise to damage mechanisms such as cracking, stress corrosion and material degradation. Early and accurate inspection is decisive for both production continuity and environmental safety.
TÜV AUSTRIA SILA KALİTE offers a service chain extending from the design dossier of pressure equipment and welding procedure approval to in-process inspection and hydrostatic test surveillance. During the operational period, equipment integrity is monitored periodically through advanced ultrasonic techniques and surface inspections. All activities are documented with traceable reports compliant with the applicable pressure equipment legislation and international fabrication codes.

Related services and training
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)Non-destructive testing services that detect flaws in materials and welds in industrial facilities, pipelines and power plants without causing any damage.
- Advanced Non-Destructive TestingHigh-precision, imaging-based and fast NDT using advanced technologies such as Phased Array, TOFD, digital radiography, corrosion mapping and crawler systems.
- Inspection of Pressure VesselsPeriodic inspection of pressure vessels such as steam boilers, compressors, air and gas tanks in accordance with the applicable regulations and standards.
- Inspection of Storage TanksInspection of atmospheric storage tanks in accordance with the API 650 / API 620 construction standards and the API 653 in-service maintenance standard.
- Corrosion MappingReliable inspection of pressure vessels, tanks and pipelines through ultrasonic corrosion mapping that covers the entire area instead of localised spot checks.
- Radiographic TestingA method in which X-rays or gamma rays are used to image internal voids, thickness and density variations of a material on a radiation-sensitive film.
