I have many questions about this picture but was told this was the results of a failed hydrostatic pressure test after a non-certified repair was made. Has anyone seen this picture before? Got an incident report to go along with the image? My source is very trustworthy, but I just would like to have an incident report that goes with this picture. I have checked the National Board Incident Database and found nothing; but if the story is true, my bet is that they would not have called the NBIC since the repairs were not to “code”. I am also not 100% convinced this was a Pressure Vessel; but the damage does appear to be from a hydrostatic failure.
Hazards of Improper weld repair and failed hydrostatic pressure testing?
