This procedure covers the calibration and certification of PSV for

SPDC/SAIPEM .

This work shall be carried out in accordance with the guidelines

stated in contract and ASME B31.1 section 137, ISO17025 and
DPR regulation for PSV calibration. The test medium will be
Nitrogen or Compressed air or distilled water or oil depending on
clients requirement and area of usage of the PSV.
All necessary documentation as indicated in the specifications
mentioned above shall be carried out at every stage of the activity.

3.0 REFERENCE DOCUMENTS:

The following document will be referred to in determining the

procedural requirement for carrying out this work.

5.0 METHOD STATEMENT

SN DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY RESPONSIBLE

PERSON

First, test the PRV to know if the Servicing

PRV will pop/relief at the tag set technician/equipment
pressure or the required pressure, operator
using the standard test gauge/ the
digital test gauge as reference.
If it pops/relieves at the set pressure Servicing
on the PRV tag, then, there will be technician/equipment
no need to reset or adjust, but if it operator
doesn’t, then calibration/adjustment
is needed.
Severe the tamper proof wire (with Servicing
cutter) to enable access to CAL technician/equipment
NUT. operator

Unscrew the CAP LOCK using Servicing technician

spanner.
Loosen the LOCK NUT (with Servicing technician
spanner)
The adjustment starts (using spanner Servicing technician
or pliers).
Open the isolation valve to let the Servicing technician
Nitrogen flow into the manifold.
Use the pressure regulator to Servicing technician
regulate pressure going into the
PRV.
Adjust the CAL NUT (calibration nut) Servicing technician
with spanner/pliers to get the
required pressure., referencing to the
standard test gauge, this is done till
the required pressure is achieved.

SUGGESTION/CONCLUSION

If the PRV does not respond at all adjustments, both clockwise and anticlockwise
adjustments, then, its either the seat is pitted or the spring has lost its elasticity.
Any of these parts could be replaced.
