Aplicação da nr-13 em vasos de pressão: teste hidrostático de um vaso de pressão do laboratório de mecânica do IFAM, Manaus-AM.

Abstract

NR-13 is a standard of the Ministry of Labor and Employment of Brazil and aims to establish minimum requirements for managing the structural integrity of steam boilers, pressure vessels and their interconnecting pipes in aspects related to installation, inspection, operation and maintenance, aiming at the safety and health of workers. The objective of this work is to apply the NR-13 through a checklist when performing a hydrostatic test in a pressure vessel in the IFAM mechanics laboratory. It is a bibliographical and experimental research, of a qualitative nature. A thorough reading of NR-13 was sought, a list of items to be inspected based on NR-13 was produced and a hydrostatic test was performed with a pressure vessel in the mechanics laboratory, where the importance of integrity was highlighted structure of the vessel, since the rupture of a unit of it causes serious accidents. In addition, this is a professional conduct of the mechanical modality and that fits within Preventive Maintenance.
