Any guide lines to decide maintenance cycle ?
Any guide lines to decide maintenance cycle ?
(OP)
I'm preparing a maintenance planning. I want to know if there is any guide lines or practices to classify each instrument depend on the influences due to the failure of instruments in the refinery or petrochemical plants. How can I decide the period of maintenance of each instrument ?
There are several web pages introducing computerized maintenance scheduler however I couldn’t find any tips.

by the vendor/supplier of the instrument.

If you are know what SIL level you are trying to achieve, OREDA might be a good source of information.

The software to schedule is only the next step. First you need to figure out on what frequency. So firs the reliability studies, then scheduling. There are many tools and techniques that you can use for reliability study but the best one is to put the burden on your supplier. Let them proof to you with a report what the probability of failure is. Don't let them just give you MTBF and those kind of numbers.
