Fitnees for Service Assessment
Fitnees for Service Assessment
(OP)
I am required to do a fitness for service assessment on some chlorine lines and assossiated equipment. I have never done one before or even seen one. Any one give me some pointers on what I need to be putting in it and what the HSE will be expecting?





RE: Fitnees for Service Assessment
Here is some advice;
1. Use Google and search for information on the process and equipment.
2. Verify your materials of construction and bill of materials.
3. Hire a professional engineering company that does fitness for service. You will be dollars ahead and attempting to so this with no prior background will put you in a bad position.

Not all that many engineers are familiar with chloride stress corrosion cracking, whereas ALL API Inspectors are. It is one of the damage mechanisms that is in the "Body of Knowledge" that their certification testing covers.

Yes- He said chlorine not chloride. Whether that's chlorine gas or perchlorate in solution(swimming pools) or both is unclear.

The Lines are for liquid chlorine from a 1 tonne drum through a vapouriser and then chlorine gas supply. Think we have got everything we need in place but just need some direction on how to present it to the HSE.

They will include a lot of good information about pipe and equipment design as well as unloading aspects.
