How to inspect a glass-lined pressure equipment?

How to inspect a glass-lined pressure equipment?

(OP)
I have three questions.

1.Does 'glass-lined' mean 'fiberglass-reinforced Plastics(FRP)'?

2.Are there standards or codes about FRP for pressure equipments?

3.How to inspect a glass-lined pressure equipment effectively?

Thanks in advance.

No. "Glass lined" literally means lined with glass. Glass is sprayed on the vessel steel and baked in a furnace to fuse the glass on the steel.

Yes. One such code is ASME Section X.

Start with spark testing to ensure the integrity of the glass.  Contact the equipment manufacturer (I would guess it's either Pfaudler or Dd Dietrich)for more information, including testing equipment and procedures.
