Importance of Applying Risk Analysis to Pressure Equipment Tested by a Special Program

Abstract

According to PED 2014/68 and the Regulation on technical requirements for design, manufac- ture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment, pressure equipment is divided into high- and low-level risk level equipment, depending on the type of equipment, condition and group of fluids and products of volume and pressure, i.e. accumulated energy. This equipment is tested according to the Regulation on the inspection of pressure equipment during its service life. However, there are a num- ber of pressure equipment that cannot be tested according to a regular program, most often due to their construction, or working fluid. This equipment is tested according to a special program that is made for each equipment particular. As part of this program, it is necessary to do a risk analysis. This paper will explain the importance of applying risk analysis and will show its application to certain sets of equipment.

Oprema pod pritiskom se prema PED 2014/68 i Pravilniku o tehničkim zahtevima za projektovanje, izradu i ocenjivanje usaglašenosti opreme pod pritiskom deli na opremu visokog i niskog nivoa opasnost, u zavisnosti od vrste opreme, stanja i grupe fluida i proizvoda zapremine i pritiska, odnosno akumulirane energije. Ova oprema se ispituje prema Pravilniku o pregledu opreme pod pritiskom tokom veka upotrebe. Međutim, postoji određeni broj opreme pod pritiskom koji ne može da se ispituje po redovnom programu, najčešće zbog svoje konstrukcije, ili radnog fluida. Ova oprema se ispituje po posebnom programu koji se pravi za svaku opremu posebno. U sklopu ovog programa potrebno je uraditi i analizu rizika. U ovom radu će biti pojašnjena važnost primene analize rizika i biće prikazana njena primena na određene sklopove opreme.
