Reassess for Changes to Codes or Standards
Codes and standards evolve as industry gains knowledge of damage mechanisms and owner-operators are expected to validate and document that their existing equipment is still safe to operate when the code changes become more restrictive.
Suitability-For-Service for Equipment Lacking Design Documentation
An owner-operator identifies equipment in operation that is lacking critical design documentation (including the OSHA required nameplate, records, and stamping for equipment operating in Process Safety Management (PSM) services).
Optimize Inspection Plans Through Remaining Life Assessment (PSA Vessel)
Risk-based inspection (RBI) programs do not adequately address fatigue and an owner-operator wishes to establish a remaining life and optimize an inspection plan for a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) vessel which is exposed to cyclic loading conditions.
