本文件描述了如何正式检查使用过的纤维增强塑料（FRP）储罐和容器，以确定其状况，必须了解这些状况，以评估其是否适合继续使用。检查的三个阶段定义为船舶在役时的外部检查；当容器停止使用时，进行外部和内部检查。必须执行所有三个检查阶段，才能认为检查已完成。还讨论了声发射检测（AET）的补充检查。 本文件不讨论维修标准、维修方法和程序，或评估FRP储罐和容器适用性的标准。 这些检查指南也适用于所有层压结构FRP组件，包括烟囱、通风罩、管道、管道和双层层压设备；i、 例如，带有整体热塑性防腐层的FRP。树脂基增强衬里不包括在内，该衬里可大量填充惰性材料或玻璃增强层压板，通常采用抹平或喷涂方式。然而，如果此类衬里是防腐层，则适用本文所述的确定其状况的一般原则。

This document describes how used iber-reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks and vessels should be formally inspected to determine their condition, which must be known to assess fitness for continued service. Three phases of inspection are defined external inspection when the vessel is in service; external and internal inspections when then the vessel is removed from service. All three inspection phases must be carried out for the inspection to be considered complete. Complementary inspection with acoustic emission testing (AET) also is discussed. This document does not discuss criteria for repair, repair methods and procedures, or criteria for assessing the fitness-for-service of FRP tanks and vessels. These inspection guidelines also can be applied to all laminated construction FRP components, including stacks, hoods, ducts, piping and dual laminate equipment; i.e., FRP with an integral thermoplastic corrosion barrier. Resin-based reinforced linings, which can be heavily filled with inert materials or glass- einforced laminates and are typically trowel or spray-applied, are not covered. However, where such linings are corrosion barriers the general principles described herein for determining their condition would apply.
