FREQUENCY OF TESTING AND CALIBRATION How to set frequency for testing and calibration?
To set frequency for testing and inspection we have look into international code for their recommendations.
Which codes are giving guide line for testing and calibration of PSVs?
API 576 Inspection of Pressure reliving Devices
API 576 Inspection of Pressure reliving Devices NBIC National Board Inspection Code (NB 23) RB8400 In-service Inspection of Pressure Relief Devices
What API 576 recommends on frequency

The inspection of pressure relief devices provides data that can be evaluated to determine a safe and economical frequency of scheduled inspection.

The inspection of pressure relief devices provides data that can be evaluated to determine a safe and economical frequency of scheduled inspection. This frequency varies widely with the various operating conditions and environments to which relief devices are subjected.

The inspection of pressure relief devices provides data that can be evaluated to determine a safe and economical frequency of scheduled inspection. This frequency varies widely with the various operating conditions and environments to which relief devices are subjected. Inspection may usually be less frequent when operation is satisfactory and more frequent when corrosion, fouling and leakage problem occur.

Historical records reflecting periodic test results and service experience for each relief devices are valuable guides for establishing safe and economical inspection frequencies. A definite time interval between inspection or tests should be established for every pressure relieving device on operating equipment. Depending on operating experiences, this interval may vary from one installation to another.

FREQUENCY OF TESTING AND CALIBRATION What NBIC recommends on frequency

Testing may be accomplished by the owner on the unit where the valves is installed or at a qualified test facility. In many cases, testing on the unit may be impractical, especially if the service fluid is hazardous to toxic. Testing on the unit may involve the by passing of operation controls and should only be performed by qualified individuals under carefully controlled conditions. ( in-service test is impractical in many cases)

RB 8410 Recommended Inspection And test Frequencies


HP Steam Pressure test to verify nameplate set pressure every three years or as determined by operating experience as verified by testing history.


LP Steam
Manual check every 6 months (manual pop up) ; pressure test annually to verify nameplate set pressure or as determined by operating experience as verified by testing history.

Pressure Vessel and Piping Frequency of test and inspection of pressure relief devices for pressure vessel and piping service is greatly dependent on the nature of the contents and operating of the system and only general recommendations can be given. Inspection frequency should be based on previous inspection history.

Inspection frequency should be based on previous inspection history. If valves are found to be defective or damaged by system contents during inspection, intervals should be shortened until acceptable inspection results are obtained. Where test records and/or inspection history are not available, the following inspection and frequency are suggested.

Risk Risk from this Fig. is B II Inspection Grade; Since this is initial stage, inspection grade as 0 Frequency Frequency from Table 3 for B II and 0 12 months. Once first service we should change the inspection grade accordingly.

Comparison of Frequency Obtained to NBIC

Sample 1 Dry Air 24 months

Sample 1 Dry Air 24 months Sample 2
LP Steam 12 months

LP Steam 12 months
Sample 3 Sweet gas 24 months

LP Steam 12 months

LP Steam 12 months
Service Steam Air& Clean Dry Gasses Pressure relief valves in combination combination with rupture disks Propane, Refrigerant All others
Inspection Frequency Annual Every three years Every five years Every five years Per Inspection history

For the first time of service all PSVs will set for minimized level of frequency, after the first service this frequency will be revised based on Inspection Grade obtained.
Which Area in our plant (SAJGAS) is critical now?

As we discussed we can derive best frequency for our plant PSVs. Since our plant is under preservation, PSVs testing and calibration not required at present, Because we have to test again before commissioning. Commissioning tests of Pressure Relief Valves on new units should be carried out not more than 6 months prior to start up of the new units.
We have to look in to active PSVs in our plant at present like instrument Air, Nitrogen package. If it is required we will proceed for this area PSVs testing and calibrations.
Thank you
