Wiring

Wiring shall be checked to ensure that it is correctly connected and properly

grounded. Insulation test shall be carried out on all wiring taking necessary
precautions. Correct connections of all electric or pneumatic switches shall be
checked.

Calibration and Testing

a) The Contractor shall calibrate instruments in-situ also, when possible. Otherwise,
calibration shall be done prior to installation or removal. The Contractor shall
submit written calibration record in prescribed format for Company‟s approval.
The status/ progress of testing calibration for each loop shall be reported to the
Company.

b) In general, all tests shall simulate, as closely as possible, design process

conditions by use of manometers, potentiometers, deadweight testers, test
pressure gauges, etc. utilizing hydraulic and pneumatic suppliers. Three (3) point
calibration shall refer to the input signal to an instrument equivalent to 0, 25, 50,
75 and 100 per cent of the instrument range upscale (rising) and 75, 50, 25 and 0
percent of the instrument range downscale (falling). All instruments, unless
otherwise noted, shall be calibrated in both upscale and downscale directions
and, if necessary, adjusted until their accuracies conform to those limits stated by
the manufacturer.

c) Wherever applicable, the instruments shall be subject to NDT/ Dye penetration

test.

d) All analog instruments shall be calibrated minimum for 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and
100% upscale and downscale.

e) All Control Valves prior to stroke checking shall be internally and externally
cleaned thoroughly. The full stroke of valve shall be checked for opening and
closing, in the range of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Any adjustments
required for obtaining full stroke and reducing hysteresis shall be carried out.

f) Cv testing certificates for each tag of control valve shall be provided to Owner
(ONGC). Software shall be provided to store and access the as-built plant data.

g) All test instruments shall have proper certificates and traceability of valid
calibration to national or international standard without which installation shall
not be acceptable.

Testing and Commissioning

a) The Contractor shall provide records of all above tests and provide reasonable
evidence of the satisfactory condition of test equipment. All errors of faulty
workmanship discovered during the testing shall be corrected to the satisfaction
of the Client.

b) Commissioning activity shall be carried out in a systematic manner so as to avoid

any accident to plant and operating personnel.

c) All required checks prior to start-up are to be completed in all respect, result
recorded and approval of EIC for ensuring readiness of plant and all safety
aspects adherence for start-up is to be obtained by contractor. During the plant
start-up all the instruments calibration, controller alignment, trip point settings
shall be trimmed/ checked and confirmed so as to meet the operation
requirement.

d) Prior to guarantee run of any package unit, the vital instruments shall be
recalibrated and the results shall be recorded and submitted.

e) All the required testing equipments - duly certified by reputed national lab/
agency, tools and tackles, equipments etc., for calibrating, testing and
commissioning shall be brought by contractor.

29.0 NAME PLATES

Name plates and identification tags shall be provided to properly identify each
piece of instrumentation equipment.
All instruments shall have SS tag or nameplate of a permanent type with
identification number and service description.
All panel instrument nameplates shall be constructed of white laminated plastic
plates with black engraved lettering and securely fastened with 316 SS screws.
All front panel mounted equipment shall also be identified with a metal or plastic
nameplate attached to the rear of the device, and easily visible via the rear access
doors.
