Installations (16th Edition), or the rules and regulation with which the installation has to
comply. All test equipment shall have correct test certificates.

19. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES

1. Because cleanliness is essential to the satisfactory operation and tightness of a pressure


relief valve, Construction contractor shall take all necessary precaution to keep out all
foreign materials. Valves which are not installed immediately upon receipt from the
manufacturer should be closed off properly at a both inlet and outlet flanges; particular
care should be taken to keep the valve inlet absolutely clean. Valves should be stored
preferably indoors or in a location where dirt and other forms of contamination are at a
minimum. Construction Contractor shall not permit valves, whether or not closed off, to
be thrown on a pile or placed on the bare ground, prior to installation. Valves should be
handled carefully and not subjected to heavy shock. If due consideration is not given to
this point, considerable internal damage or misalignment can result and seat tightness
may be adversely affected. Construction Contractor procedures for material / equipment
handling on site shall ensure this.

2. Construction Contractor shall carry out a thorough visual inspection of all relief valves
for condition before installation. The manufacturer’s maintenance manuals shall be
consulted for details relative to the specific valve. Caution should be taken to the certain
that all protective material on the valve flanges and any extraneous materials inside the
valve body or nozzle are completely removed. Foreign materials clinging to the inside of
the nozzle will be blown across the seats when the valve is operated. Some of these
materials may damage the seats or be trapped between the seats so as to cause
leakage.
which it is specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.

3. Because foreign materials passing into and through a pressure relief valve are
damaging, the systems on which the valve is tested and finally installed must also
be inspected and

cleaned. Wherever possible, the system be purged thoroughly before the valve is
installed. The set pressure of the relief valve shall be verified by testing, prior to
installation.

4. This type of information is usually provided in the manufacturers’ maintenance manuals


for specific valves. These manuals shall be consulted for specific instructions so that

stage.

Check alarm and trip actions by varying the actuating signals and adjust as necessary.

Where interlock inputs have already been proven during measurement and control loop tests,
these inputs shall be bypassed. All other inputs shall be proven. The complete interlock
system shall then be checked for correct sequence of operation, and all output devices shall
be shown to work satisfactorily.

Where a part of the plant has been classified as a hazardous area caution is necessary if final
loop testing is performed after the introduction of hydrocarbons, or other potentially hazardous
material into the plant. Such tests shall be under the direct supervision of CONSULTANT /
OWNER.

The appropriate national codes and local regulations should be followed where a flameproof
or explosion-proof or safety purged enclosure needs to be opened, to simulate operation.
This normally involves a periodic gas test in the area. Note that, in any case, power should be
switched off prior to removing and replacing enclosure covers.

Where intrinsically safe circuits are used at field sensors, no restriction is normally
encountered, provided test equipment does not infringe intrinsic safety certification.
which it is specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.

After each loop is satisfactorily tested, the controller shall be switched to manual and
identified using the approved loop checking colour coding scheme.

The plant is required to be loop checked by the process area. It will, therefore, be necessary
to carry out loop checking activities whilst some areas I systems are still under construction

As a consequence, loops that have components in more than one plant area may have to be
checked in steps as availability permits; i.e. should a loop input be in a different area to that of
the final control element then the loop input is to be checked and witnessed as a part of loop
and, upon availability, the output is to he checked and witnessed as a part of loop. Ultimately
a total loop check is to be implemented when all components of the loop are available.

The object of loop testing is to ensure that all instrumentation components in a loop are
correctly calibrated and are in a state ready for plant commissioning. All loops associated
with the control systems are to be checked utilizing the interface facilities in the control
building. For those not directly associated with these systems, e.g. packaged equipment local
and/or remote-control panels, the loops are to be checked using the facilities provided on the
panels and with any interface functions to the control systems.

All control systems have been fully tested at manufacturer’s works and with inter-system
communication being tested during a subsequent integrated systems test, hence all
associated software and functionality is to be utilized for the purpose of loop checking.

ln implementing the loop checking procedures, therefore, the using of the, also utilizes the system
configuration and for the ESD / FDAS system checks through the logic in accordance with the
cause and effects.

the Construction contractor.

Checks for mechanical I electrical completeness should be carried out using an Instrument
Loop Check Sheet produced by the Construction contractor and reviewed by CONSULTANT
/ OWNER for approval.

The following checks as a minimum shall be performed by Construction contractor, in presence of

Common questions

Powered by AI

Contractors should conduct functional loop checks to verify integration and operability, ensuring loops are functioning correctly between the DCS and field instruments. This includes coordination with electrical contracts for MCC loops and ensuring compliance with specified configurations and documentation .

During construction, instruments, panels, and control systems not immediately installable must be stored in a climate-controlled environment to protect from dust and moisture, according to local environmental conditions. If instruments are mounted, they should be protected by measures such as temporary sealing of connections to prevent moisture ingress and damage .

Contractors must apply two coats of primer followed by a final coat, ensuring that all painting materials meet relevant specifications and are properly procured and applied. This involves coordinating color and type as per project standards .

Set temperature transmitters with proper range, span, and correct unit, typically in degrees Celsius. Ensure compatibility with the sensor type (e.g., thermocouple, RTD), check fault conditions for safe loop failure, and confirm intrinsic safety if installed in hazardous areas .

It's crucial to ensure the thermocouple matches job specifications (e.g., grounded or ungrounded), is configured correctly in the control systems, and the burnout feature functions as designed. The connections must be secure, spare cable entries plugged, and proper sloping from the thermocouple head verified. Compatibility with control room signal types and correct temperature range must also be checked .

During pre-commissioning, contractors must clearly document and certify incomplete work activities and their schedules on prescribed forms, ensuring that these records are maintained to respect the completion date .

The contractor is responsible for fabricating canopies for equipment where it is not supplied. They must also carry out any required fabrication work to suit site requirements. This must be done with utmost care to avoid damaging existing facilities .

Instruments should be calibrated both in upscale and downscale directions, following manufacturer's accuracy limits. Calibration results must be recorded on appropriate forms and added to the loop dossier, witnessed by the consultant or owner .

Prior to use, electrical cables must undergo insulation and continuity tests to ensure compliance and suitability for their intended purpose. These tests are crucial to guarantee that the cables are functional and safe .

Contractors should consider operability, serviceability, protection from damage and processes, and adherence to good industry practices. Instruments should be installed considering their final location’s accessibility and environmental protection, guided by relevant drawings and specifications .
