PV&T Field Inspections
The PV&T Inspection consists of an internal or in service field inspection which includes: a visual inspection of the pressure relief device, the vessel body, paint condition, supports & access, and ancillary components. The nameplate data is recorded. Nondestructive examination techniques are used to determine the condition and thickness of the vessel walls. The vessel is sketched showing general dimensions, NDE test locations and locations of items requiring corrective action.

PV&T Inspection Reports
The SS&A PV&T Inspection Report documents the findings of the Inspection. This report includes findings of the field examination, nondestructive examination data, vessel sketch, nameplate data, calculated minimum allowable wall thickness, with findings & recommendations.

PV&T Program Summary Report
The PV&T Inspection Program Summary Report is a spreadsheet which summarizes the findings or all the individual PV&T Inspection Reports and includes the equipment ID & description, inspection date, if any component in less than minimum allowable thickness, if any corrective action items were identified and the repair priority. This spreadsheet can be expanded or modified to include scheduling, budget or maintenance.

SS&A performs internal and external boiler tube inspection, thickness measurement, pressure vessel and deaerator inspections for a variety of steam producers.
