Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that conducts various inspections, measurements, and tests to verify the performance and safety of industrial compressors.
Description
Compressor inspectors perform measurements such as pressure, temperature, and vibration on compressors in production lines or after installation, as well as disassembly inspections of each part and evaluations of wear on seals and bearings. They conduct non-destructive tests (penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing) and tests using pressure test equipment, and determine compliance with JIS standards or internal criteria. They compile inspection results into reports, collaborate with maintenance and quality assurance departments to propose improvements, and are also involved in data collection and analysis for predictive maintenance.
Future Outlook
With the introduction of IoT and predictive maintenance technologies, digital skills such as data analysis and remote monitoring will be required, and the demand for highly specialized inspectors is expected to remain stable.
