Question 1

When do I need to have my receiver inspected?

Accepted Answer

According to Australian Standards, air receivers require an external inspection every 2 years and a comprehensive internal inspection every 4 years. Regular inspections are critical for identifying corrosion, weld issues, and ensuring the structural integrity of the vessel.

Question 2

What is AS3788 and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

AS3788 is the Australian Standard for 'Pressure equipment—In-service inspection'. it provides the mandatory requirements and guidelines for the inspection of pressure vessels, including air receivers, to ensure they are safe for continued operation.

Question 3

What are the risks of non-compliance?

Accepted Answer

Non-compliance carries two major risks: safety and legal. Structurally compromised vessels can lead to catastrophic failures (explosions), posing extreme danger to personnel. Legally, failing to maintain current inspections and WorkSafe registrations can result in significant fines and the forced shutdown of equipment.
