Practical External Inspection of FRP
Vessels
INSPECTIONEERING JOURNAL
By Geoff Clarkson, CTO and Founder at UTComp, Inc. This article appears in the January/February 2021 issue
of Inspectioneering Journal.
Introduction
For the purposes of this article, vessels include storage tanks, chemical reactors,
scrubbers, and other containers for storage or processing of chemicals. Since usage
of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) for vessels and piping in the chemical processing
industry (CPI) started in the 1950s, many users have experienced reliability
problems. In response to this, there has been significant work to establish standards
and codes for FRP vessel design. [1-5] They have contributed significantly to increased
reliability of FRP equipment.
Even with these increases in reliability, some vessel failures still occur, some of
which could have been prevented or mitigated by following a systematic external
inspection program. This article provides a systematic process/program for these
external inspections that serves to increase reliability.
If corrective action is recommended, it can be identified at one or more of the stages
in the process, including analysis of the cause, evaluation, and engineering of
possible solutions, design, and execution. This work is usually unique to each
situation and is beyond the scope of this article.
