Dear all,

the equipment is an Evacuation Unit for Turbine-Condensers in Power Plants in India.
The unit consists of a Surface- Condenser, Motive Steam Piping and Suction Piping (one skid). The unit is not directly connected to the boiler.

DESIGN DATA:
Surface Condenser
Tube Side (Cooling Condensate): p=9,00 barg T= 100°C V= 180 l
Shell Side (Steam): p=0,98 barg T= 320°C V= 200 l

Motive Steam Piping: p=20,7 barg T=365°C DN 50 (max)

Suction Air Piping: p=0,98 barg T=300°C DN 150 (max)

My question:
Is this unit because of the Design Data´s under the IR? If yes, what is the normal procedure (3rd Party; special requ. for Manufacturer etc.).

Thank you very much in advance.

Just recently finished an IBR project (We supplied some reheater assemblies). I am not sure that your equipment would fall under the IBR but with all India projects the determination is by the local authority.

Some items to be aware of.

IBR require that your welder be requalified to the IBR code, they may not accept the their ASME or EN qualification.
A Third party must witness all welding testing, (from weld through cutting and bending).
A Third party must witness the fabrication and testing.
Materials, tubing, plate etc must be purchased from an IBR approved mill, (This could be very limiting).
Will need IBR form ??? for the welding consumables.

Lots of paperwork, our documentation package for the customer was over 3000 pages

Thank you very much. It seems not easy... After recheck with our third party now we know that our equipmnent is under IBR.
