Quality Assurance for Lethal Service
Every lethal service reactor undergoes enhanced quality verification: 100% radiographic testing of all pressure-containing welds, positive material identification (PMI) of all pressure parts, hydrostatic testing per ASME requirements, leak testing of all mechanical joints, and complete documentation with full material traceability. Our lethal service quality program exceeds standard pressure vessel requirements to ensure absolute containment integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes a substance “lethal” under ASME Section VIII?
A: ASME defines lethal substances as poisonous gases or liquids of such a nature that a very small amount mixed with air is dangerous to life when inhaled. This includes many industrial chemicals like hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen cyanide, and phosgene.
Q: What additional requirements apply to lethal service vessels?
A: Lethal service vessels require 100% radiographic examination of all Category A and B butt welds, spot radiography is not permitted. Additional requirements may include impact testing, full penetration welds at all nozzle connections, and enhanced NDE of attachment welds.
Q: Is Division 2 available for lethal service reactors?
A: ASME Section VIII Division 2 also permits lethal service design with its own specific requirements. Division 2 may offer advantages for high-pressure applications through more sophisticated design methods while maintaining equivalent safety.
