6.1. HANDLING AND CONTROL OF MATERIAL


• Flow Meters shall be calibrated at the site as per their relative calibration procedure.
• The calibration data shall be recorded on their respective formats. Install a sticker
mentioning the details i.e. date, type, rate, location and the particular tag number.
• The flow meter nonconformed with the calibration shall be informed to client with a sticker
and the corrective action request (CAR).
• The open ports and tube ends of the instruments shall be safe guarded by means of relevant
size of stop plugs or tape.

6.2. TEST EQUIPMENT CONTROL AND TRACEABILITY


All the equipment being used for the calibration shall be itself calibrated and certified by a third
party. The calibration record shall be maintained on a format called control sheet calibration
equipment.

6.3. CALIBRATION PROCEDURES


For calibration of instruments and equipment procedure are as listed below:

6.4. DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER


Place the differential pressure transmitter at the test table. Read the information given on the
instrument tag and specifications supplied along with by the vendor.
1) Inspect the differential pressure transmitter for the following
2) Make a visual inspection for any missing or damage.
3) Connect the transmitter's process connections to the pneumatic calibrator.
4) Connect an AVO meter at the out put terminals of the transmitter.
5) Supply regulated air pressure (instrument air) or electric power supply to the transmitter.
6) Apply pressure approximately to the full range of the transmitter to check leakage in the
system, use soapy water for detection.
7) De--pressurize the system.
8) Check and record the readings at "zero percent" pressure.
9) Now increase the pressure step wise and record the readings for "25%,50%,75% and 100%.
10) Decrease the pressure in descending order from 100% to 0% in stages of 75%,50%,25% and
at last at 0% and record the readings. These shall verify the previous readings taken.
11) In case percentage error is greater than the specification requirements, adjust the "zero and
span" again and repeat the step # 8, # 9, # 10.
12) After completing the process issue the test report for site use and record.

7. HSE INSTRUCTIONS
• All efforts shall be made to keep the environment clean
• No smoking is permitted in restricted areas
• During the calibration always follow the instruction manual and the special instructions given by
the manufacturer. All the calibration shall be according to the client's specification. Only trained
engineers, inspectors and technicians shall perform the calibration work
