ALTERNATIVE TO WATER
According to the SMPV(U) Rules and Act,every 5 years all pressure vessels have to undergo a Hydro static test or a cryogenic test.The t4st has to be done at 1.5 times the design pressure the pressure .Regarding the Hydro static test the amount of water to be used is a huge quantity. Considering the conservation of the natural resources,which are,non renewable the amount of water that is wasted under this test is enormous,and as on to day is unable to meet the demand of water as it is.
Under the circumstances the various recognized research organizations must come up with an alternative test,such as an instrument using ultrasonic waves or any other instrument for such purposes without using water. Our research policy is to be self sufficient in many things and water is such.The government of India must think of an alternative instead of following some age old rules.I am only an Engineer but not a scientist to even suggest any kind of alternative,but I am sure Research in the various Institutions,like the NPL,NCL,OR DEFENCE Institutions must come up with an alternative ,as it is use ful for all purposes.As most of the transport vehicle transporting LPG,or Petroleum products or even storage tanks have to undergo this test,it is also expensive for getting at so much of water besides wastage.The instruments should be made available to third party competent persons who inspect these sorage Tanks,must be able to buy them and use them.You cannot expect a single lorry owner who buys his Lorry and builds the tank under loans from Banks,cannot think of additional expenses like this.
When they undertake to transport these products they are paid amounts which are quite low and this does not help in allevating their social position but puts them under great pressure in life.We talk about farmers sops,but no one talks about these poor lorry owners,who drive long distances for their livelihood for this meager amount paid by OIL COMPANIES..Equality should be in all kinds of livelihood and not just for a few. By talking with these poor owners I have realized how difficult it is for them to meet both ends.It is time Scientists think in these terms and do something about it without sacrificing safety.
