PSVs on Vendor Package Equipment
PSVs on Vendor Package Equipment
(OP)
All,
What is your experience in getting adequate design documentation for PSVs that are part of packaged or skid mounted equipment?
Are you successful in getting the documentation you asked for in the specifications?
Thanks,
Don

Yep. Pretty much sums it up.
What we do is link all the vendor packages together and then review the sizing basis on all PSVs, "ours" and "theirs". Where we see busts, we either add the correct ones in "our" piping or get them to add it in "their" piping, usually at costs borne by Client.
At the end of the day, "we" (the EPC firm) are usually responsible for the entire Pressure System Design Registration with the appropriate Regulatory Body, so the onus is ultimately on "us" to be sure that all of the PSVs are correct.

SNORGY.

The packagers/manufacturers are not always the villain here, sometimes it is the end-user not bothering to do the analysis until the machine is on the ground.
