Training Courses
| 
For many years Wessington Cryogenics have provided Instructor-led Gas Safety Training and On-site Advisory Surveys. These services are now brought to you in association with Gas Safe Consultants.
Gas Safe was established in 1991 in response to a market requirement for specialised safety training in the safe use, handling, storage and transportation of industrial, laboratory, cryogenic, medical and special gases. All workshops are delivered by highly skilled, industry trained, experienced course directors and focus delegates on the consequences of adopting poor working procedures when using gases and associated equipment.
Great emphasis is placed on the use of interactive and team based learning modules within the workshops, which are designed to be both practical and thought provoking. The workshops show gas users how to operate in line with best operating practices and in accordance with relevant Codes Of Practice, Guidance Notes and Legislation.

Pressure Systems Safety Regulations and Written Scheme of Examination
|
What is the PSSR?
This is a legislative regulation that covers all pressure systems where stored energy may give rise to danger to people.
If you own or operate a pressure vessel/system at a pressure greater than 0.5bar(g), the PSSR applies to you.
A pressure vessel/system that is covered by the PSSR must:
- Be operated in a safe manner by trained personnel.
- Have a suitable Written Scheme of Examination (WSE) created by a competent person.
- Be examined, maintained and repaired in accordance with the WSE by a competent person.
Repair and Refurbishment
|
Did you know that Wessington Cryogenics are able to offer repair /refurbishment facilities which will enable virtually all types of cryogenic storage vessel to be returned to an ‘As New’ condition?
These facilities include :-
These facilities include :-
- A detailed examination of the vessel to determine the full extent of the repair work required. This includes a helium leak test and a visual check on all valves and safeties by our engineers.
- A fully equipped workshop which allows us to carry out both external and internal repairs to virtually all types of cryogenic vessels (excluding aluminium vessels with fibre glass necks).
- A team of engineers experienced in the field of cryogenic vessel manufacture can rebuild even the most badly damaged vessel. Modifications to existing equipment are also available
- Highly qualified welders approved, among others, by Bureau Veritas and Lloyds, to European & ASME regulations allow for the highest integrity weld repairs to be carried out.
- Vacuum pumping facilities allow for all vessels to be heated and hard pumped for maximum service life
- Helium mass spectrometer leak test to detect even the tiniest of leaks
- Experienced fitters can completely rework, rebuild and replace existing pipework, valves and safeties to ensure the vessel performs in a safe and efficient manner
- Pressure test facilities which allow us to examine your vessel in accordance with the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations
