    1 ScopeThis Krupp Uhde standard applies to the tests/inspections of process vessels and equipment (hereinafterreferred to as process vessels) made of glass reinforced thermosetting plastics:

    a) with a highly resinous core sheet (chemical coating resistant to chemicals) 1)

    b) with a liner of thermoplastic plastics, such as

    polyvinyl chloride rigid (PVC-U) of normal impact strength polyvinyl chloride rigid (PVC-HI) of raised impact strength high-density polyethylene (PE-HD) polypropylene (PP) homopolymer and copolymer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)

    The standard describes manufacturing deficiencies in order to facilitate inspection and assessment of theprocess vessels with due consideration for graduated quality requirements specified in categories.The implementation of the Krupp Uhde standard and the measures required for fulfilment are governed byapplicable statutory regulations, generally accepted technical standards or laid down in general specifications.

    2 Requirements2.1 Duty classThe customer shall specify the quality acceptance level on the basis of the three categories stated below toclearly define the scope of quality assurance requirements, especially referred to the technical productionquality, to be fulfilled by the engineering company and the manufacturer:

    I. High hazard potential or high requirements for availability

    II. Medium hazard potential or medium requirements for availability

    III. Low hazard potential or low requirements for availability

    The plant operator shall select one of the above three categories with due consideration for the following crite-ria:

    Feedstock:toxicity, flammability, aggressiveness, water hazard, operating temperature, change in temperature

    Type of stress:(e.g. static or dynamic)

    Operating conditions:(e.g. constant or alternating)

    Materials and material combinations:(e.g. properties, known behaviour, references)

    Manufacture:(e.g. in the workshop, on site, manufacturing processes)

    Sophisticated design/engineering:(e.g. difficult machining/shaping, large volume, number of nozzles and internals)

    Monitoring of component and operating conditions:(e.g. systems for regular, large and automatic internal monitoring)

    Failure effects:(e.g. health hazard, environmental hazard, economic effects)

    2.2 Engineering documents dataThe component duty class shall be specified in the engineering documents referring to this standard. Anyadditional requirements for the mechanical design or properties shall be agreed upon separately and recordedin the engineering documents.

    3 Tests/inspectionsThe conditions specified for the above-mentioned categories shall be substantiated by visual inspection,measurement and, if required, by adequate non-destructive or destructive testing. Only prefabricated compo-nents shall be subjected to testing.

    Certain properties shall be evidenced by destructive testing of nozzle sections or test specimens (e.g. compo-nents fabricated in simultaneously) to be manufactured under identical conditions. The date, method andplace of testing shall be agreed by the customer and the manufacturer. The testing results shall be recorded.
