Operational (Start-Up is in progress, product is being introduced into
piping and vessels. Process is under pressure, transformers are
energized, and wiring is energized). All PPE requirements shall be utilized.

Field Calibration

Verifying the functionality of the primary instrument through to the logic

solver and back to a field device(s), if the loop is so equipped, during the
loop check process and As Found data collected.

Function Test

Verifying of the ability of the system to safely operate and control

equipment to a pre-determined state. It tests the logic (start up, shutdown,
emergency shutdown, etc) for any process unit or equipment. A
representative point for each function is tested.

Greenfield

Areas of the facility that are considered the period of the project that
transits from Breaking Ground phase to the Construction phase to the
Commissioning phase, where activities are in progress to change the
state of the various area(s)/systems to a Brownfield state, as described
above. Also, All PPE requirements shall be utilized.

TEST EQUIPMENT AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Test Equipment

The following describes the requirements for test equipment associated with this procedure.
All test equipment used for qualitative data, shall have a standard Certificate of Accredited Calibration
on file with the Commissioning team. As a minimum, a standard certificate shows the following for the
equipment being tested and the equipment used to certify, with traceability back to NBS/NIST:
Manufacture
Model Number
Serial Number
Last Calibration Date
Calibration Due Date
As Found / As Left Calibration data
Any uncertainties, if applicable
Test Equipment Tag Number, if applicable
A calibration sticker shall be filled out and placed in a conspicuous location on the device, after
calibration. The calibration sticker is to be of the moisture and dirt resistant type.
For commissioning purposes, if the As Found data from the instrument is within spec, record the data in
the As Left space on the calibration check sheet. Typically, prior to the instrument being installed, each
instrument is Bench Cald and the As Found / As Left data is collected then. If there is a problem, it
will become known during the commissioning process.

7.2

General

The following discusses the Level Instruments associated with this procedure.
Level instruments not covered by this standard are to be selected and installed according to the
manufacturers recommendations and API RP-550 Part I, Section 2, Level (latest revision).
Block valves should normally be installed between the vessel and the level instrument except for
instruments that are inserted into the vessel or nozzle such as capacitance probes or extended
diaphragms. Top mounted instruments do not require block valves
Displacers are designed to measure liquid level, interface level, or density/specific gravity inside a vessel.
The torque tube assembly consists of a hollow torque tube with a shaft welded inside it at one end and
protruding from it at the other end.
The displacer always exerts a downward force on one end of the displacer rod. The other end of the
displacer rod rests on the knife-edge of the driver bearing. A change in liquid level, interface level, or
density/specific gravity buoys up the displacer by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced which
results in an angular movement of the displacer rod around the knife edge.

Level transmitters used for process interlocks or SIS systems inputs shall be connected to separate
vessel nozzles. SIS transmitters shall not share level bridles with each other or with control or alarm
transmitters due to common mode / common cause failures without approval from Reficar.
Transmitters are to be two-wire, loop powered producing a 4-20mA output. Transmitters are to be
"SMART" type. Transmitters shall be capable of digital communication with a hand held electronic
calibrator to allow for field re-ranging and calibration.
Transmitter self-diagnostics should be able to detect sensor burnout or transmitter failure and shall drive
the output to user selectable upscale (above 21mA) or downscale (below 3.9mA) points.

7.3

Field Calibration

Differences between bench and field calibrations, in excess of deviation table tolerances, indicates that
the instrument is suspect and shall be recalibrated or replaced. Following recalibration, the instrument
shall be exercised several times to insure repeatability.
Discrepancies in range or calibration between the field instrument and any loop devices shall be resolved
using the most recent instrument data sheet available. Discrepancies shall be referred to your lead
technician, who will pass it along to engineering for resolution.
All instrument components shall be calibrated as separate stand-alone devices.

Field calibration checks include at least a 5-point test at 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %. If the device
has mechanical linkages that may produce hysteresis, the calibration will include a 9-point test ascending
and descending at the same cardinal points. Note: See Loop Check Sheet I29B.
Hook up of electronic components with calibration test instruments shall be made with high quality test
leads having the appropriate terminal connectors. Leads can be a source of failure in a test setup and
should be inspected and tested regularly to be sure they are in good condition.
For any questions that arise during the use of this procedure, contact your lead technician.

Displacer Level Transmitter

Verify that this is the correct instrument to be checked conforms to the data sheet.
Perform an inspection of the transmitter for missing insulation, broken flex-conduit or any
discrepancy that may affect proper operation of the device.
Process residue can build up in the bottom of the cage or at the connections which may restrict
flow in and out of the cage or interfere with displacer motion. Check the cage to insure cage is
clean and displacer moves freely.
Close any block valves to isolate level instrument. Relieve process pressure in the instrument
where the sensor is installed. Use caution when loosening flange bolting or pipe plug
Drain and if needed, fluids from the chamber. Use safe procedures for high pressures and
hazardous materials with proper PPE shall be followed.
Clean out any process residue if necessary.
The output shall be measured using a digital multimeter or a documenting calibrator of transfer
standard quality (Fluke 744).
Prior to the start of loop checking/calibration, ensure the wiring is complete and landed on the
correct terminals as indicated on the loop sheets, for the entire loop.
Notify the control board operator the loop is ready for checkout. Using the hart communicator or
laptop simulate the level for a 5-point calibration. Note: see loop check sheet I29B. At each
step have the board technician call out the DCS indication and record the as found data. Verify
the correct engineering units and range is configured in the DCS.
Install the loop fuse for the loop if required in the DCS cabinet per the loop sheet. Verify correct
voltage at the instrument.
Field calibration checks include at least a 5-point test at 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %.
Note: see loop check sheet I29B.
Instrument calibration should be made with a laptop or hart communicator.
Check that the configuration in the transmitter conforms with the data sheet.
Simulate any level alarm points while the control room operator reports the DCS indication.
Disconnect the signal wire from the transmitter to simulate the signal loss while the operator
verifies the correct alarm received
If a problem is found the technicians will make a reasonable attempt to determine the cause and
make repairs in a reasonable amount of time. If the problem cannot be readily solved and will
require additional resources, remove power (pull the fuse,) and note the problem in the comments
section and notify your lead technician.
Reconnect wiring to the transmitter and verify with control room operator that the transmitter
indication is indicating correctly.
Inspect instrument connections, covers, fittings and all associated hardware also verify all
documents are filled in as required.
When calibration is complete, ensure the root valve(s) are open and place the instrument in a
Ready for Service condition.
Verify local reading conforms with reading on DCS.
Leave the device in the ready to run state unless directed differently.
For any questions that arise during the use of this procedure, contact your lead technician.
