Glasses and all required PPE in use
according PPE matrix
- Crew will respond as per SMPEP
plan.
- The stby person at the ECR we will
be immediately informed to open the
filling v/v for pipe pressure release.
- Fill piping with FUEL OIL, by using
the F.O transfer pump, taking care to
eliminate all possible air pockets that
remain in the pipe before raising the
pressure (By air venting).
- After filling the pipelines with the fuel
oil, stop the pump, isolate the end of
piping to be tested and increase
pressure with the hydraulic oil pump.
- The proper operation of the
associated fuel oil valves should be
checked prior to testing.
- Until the maximum pressure is
reached (at 100% of their rated
working pressure), persons should be
at a safe distance form the tested
pipeline, maintaining though visual
contact.
- Monitor the pressure inside the pipe
by using remote pressure indicators.
- When the max. pressure is
reached ,maintain the pressure for
about 10-15 minutes.
- Five minutes after the max pressure
should be reduced to aprox. 2 bar in
the line prior a closer inspection taking
place
The work should be carried out during
day light and under favorable
sea/weather conditions in open sea.
Prior to commence the pressure test
