failure are to be passed to the Owner who will determine the action to be taken.
3.2.1.13
Where the pre-installation test is not specified or where circumstances prohibit the carrying out of the
prescribed test, the Vendor/Contractor shall agree a test method with the Owner. This will apply to
those instruments delivered as an integral part of a PAU, in which case the Vendor/Contractor shall,
upon delivery of PAU, carry out an ìnspection upon receipt' to ensure that no physical damage has
occurred during transit from the fabrication yard. This premise will only apply if the loop dossier
prepared by the PAU Fabricator included documentary evidence that the instrument has undergone all
the necessary pre-installation test, pressure test, piping and cable tests.
Should this documentary evidence not be available for any item then the Vendor/Contractor shall carry
out all such tests as part of his scope.
3.2.1.14
Upon completion of pre-commissioning the installation shall be made ready for process commissioning
and all extra work such as setting zero elevations and suppressions, filling liquid seals, adjusting purge
rates, etc. will be completed by the Vendor/Contractor.

supplied in accordance with its specification, is functionally correct and is in working order.

GES C.55
Page 10 of 44
Rev 0 1999
3.2.2.2
All instruments shall, wherever possible, be subjected to pre-installation test and this test shall
commence as soon as practicable after the receipt of the instrument on site. If the equipment is to be
stored for a long period of time then these tests shall be carried out near the date of instrument
installation. The tests shall be performed in the manner described herein, any adjustment being made in
accordance with the manufacturer's instruction.
3.2.2.3
In general all tests shall simulate as closely as possible design process conditions, by the use of
Manometers, Potentiometers, Resistance Bridges, Dead Weight Testers, Test Pressure Gauges, etc.,
utilising hydraulic, electric or pneumatic supplies.
3.2.2.4
No tests shall be carried out on electronic instruments until an adequate warm-up period has elapsed.
Wherever possible, instruments shall be energised for at least 24 hours prior to testing.
3.2.2.5
All shipping stops shall be removed from the instruments before starting the test procedures.
Miscellaneous components, e.g. charts, oil, ink cartridges shall be correctly installed.
3.2.2.6
All instruments, except as noted herein, are to be calibrated in both the upscale and downscale
directions and, if necessary, adjusted until their accuracies are within the limits stated by the
manufacturer. Upon completion the results of each test shall be recorded on the appropriate form,
witnessed by the Owner's representative and the completed forms added to the loop dossier and handed
to the Owner.
3.2.2.7
Upon completion of tests the instrument shall be drained, as a precaution against mixing with dangerous
process fluid and if necessary blown through with dry air. Where applicable, shipping stops shall be
replaced.
3.2.2.8
After testing, all connections and entries shall be temporarily sealed to prevent subsequent ingress of
moisture and dirt.
3.2.2.9
Insulation and continuity tests shall be made on drummed electrical cable prior to use.
3.2.3
Pre-Installation Test Procedure
3.2.3.1
General:
a)
Instrument testing should preferably be carried out in a calibration workshop, except where
instruments form part of an integrated system or control panel where tests may be carried out in
the control room after installation using portable test gear and/or simulation equipment.
b)
The instrument to be tested should be mounted in the correct plane on a rigid and vibration-free
stand or structure.
c)
Before commencing any tests, the following checks shall be carried out:
-
The instrument shall be checked for damage in any way (e.g. damage to doors, linkages,
etc). Any such damage must be rectified before any tests are attempted;
The data plate on the instrument shall be checked against the information contained on
the instrument specification sheet;
The available power source, whether electric, pneumatic or hydraulic, shall be checked
against what is called for on the instrument specification;
A check shall be carried out to make sure that a suitable means is available for simulating
the required process conditions and that test gauges or meters are available with a
sufficient degree of accuracy for the tests to be performed;

3.2.3.2
GES C.55
Page 11 of 44
Rev 0 1999
Availability of the manufacturer's Ìnstruction Manual' shall be checked.
Energy Supply Source and Signal Output:

The following procedure is common to all instruments requiring a power supply source and which
generate a signal output.
a)
b)
3.2.3.3
Pneumatic
-
Make sure that the air supply to pneumatic instruments is clean, dry and oil free.
Connect the air supply and adjust the air supply regulator to the correct setting e.g. for a
standard transmitter with operating range of 3-15 psig (20 - 100kPag).
Connect the output to a suitable test gauge via a capacity chamber approximately 0.1
gallons (0.5 litre) capacity.
Take care to ensure that all pneumatic connections are leak-free. If in doubt, test joints
with soap solution or similar.
Where instrument air is not available from the normal instrument air supply system, the
Vendor/Contractor shall provide a source of dry air for calibration purpose.
Electronic
-
Connect a suitable power supply. Electronic instruments shall be energised continuously

for 24 hours prior to attempting calibration tests. Correct polarity of supply shall be
maintained at all times.
Electrical supply shall have frequency and stability characteristics equal to the permanent
supply.
Transformers shall be made available by the Vendor/Contractor as required.
Instrument power packs - where the equipment of the final system cannot be used, the
Vendor/Contractor shall provide a direct current (DC) supply of the required voltage and
characteristics.
Care should be observed when connecting electrical power supplies to the electrical and
electronic instrumentation. Checks shall be made to ensure correct voltage and frequency
on AC supplies and where DC is used, check that the voltage regulation and any
suppressed ripple are within instrument manufacturer's specifications. Correct polarity of
supply and proper grounding are crucial to solid state equipment.
Connect the output to a suitable test meter, preferably a Digital Volt Meter, across the
circuit dropping resistor.
Process Variable Source:

Connect a suitable signal generating source to the process connection together with the means of
isolating and regulating the same, with a suitably accurate indicator. The process variable source will
depend upon the type of a signal to be simulated and the following Sections cover typical signal
generating methods for various types of instruments. When special hazardous fluids are involved (e.g.
oxygen or H2S), suitable safety precautions must be observed and the test method agreed with the

GES C.55
Page 12 of 44
Rev 0 1999
Owner.
3.2.4
Pressure Instruments
3.2.4.1
A compressed air source or nitrogen can usually be used for pressure ranges up to 100 psig (700 kPag).
3.2.4.2
Pneumatic calibrators are available with a variety of pressure ranges, but generally are not suitable for
ranges below 60"wg (0-15 kPa).
3.2.4.3
For ranges below 60"wg (15 kPa), liquid filled manometers should be used with a suitable precision air
reducing valve.
3.2.4.4
For pressure ranges above 100 psi (700 kPa) a hydraulic dead weight tester should be used.
3.2.4.5
Hand held pressure pumps may also be used for signal generation for pressures up to 1psi (0.7 kPa).
These are particularly useful where testing is being carried out in the field, e.g. for loop testing.
3.2.5
Differential Pressure Instruments
3.2.5.1
On pre-installation testing DP transmitters, the variable pressure source is normally connected to the
High Pressure Connection and the Low Pressure Connection must be freely vented to the atmosphere.
3.2.5.2
After the initial calibration test, the high and low pressure sides of the meter element shall be subjected,
in turn, to a static pressure equal to the maximum expected working pressure. The calibration test shall
then be repeated to ensure that the results are unaffected by the static pressure loading.
3.2.5.3
Differential pressure transmitters used for fiscal metering and high accuracy metering applications shall
be calibrated at the operating pressure.
3.2.6
Diaphragm Sealed Instruments

For external diaphragm sealed type pressure sensors it is necessary to fabricate a test rig comprising a
mating flange with a pressure connection to which pressure sources described in Section 3.2.4 may be
attached.
3.2.7
Temperature Instruments
3.2.7.1
Filled Systems:
For calibration of thermal systems, a temperature calibration bath equipped with an agitator and a
certified thermometer is required. Several types are generally available, the most common being:Liquid Filled:
Glycol/Water
Water
Oil
Fluidised Bed:
for ranges -40F to +41F (-40C to + 5C)

for ranges +41F to +203F (+5C to + 95C)
for ranges -40F to +356F (-40C to + 180C)
for ranges +104F to +2012F (+40C to + 1100C)
Temperature calibration baths are generally only suitable for use in workshop. If required for use in the
field, they must only be used under cover and in a non-hazardous environment.
3.2.7.2
Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs):

RTDs are to be simulated by means of a resistance decade box.
3.2.7.3
Thermocouple:

GES C.55
Page 13 of 44
Rev 0 1999
Thermocouple emfs are to be normally simulated by the use of a precision milli-volt signal generating
source in conjunction with standard calibration tables.
3.2.8
Variable Area Flow Meters (Transmitting Type)

VA Meters are to be tested by mechanical means, i.e. the float position is varied by means of a wooden
or plastic rod inserted through the bottom connection.
The actual calibration required shall be checked before testing, as the minimum graduation on a VA
Meter is usually 10% flow, whereas the full transmitted output may correspond to 0-100% flow.
3.2.9
Level Displacers
External cage displacers are generally tested in situ owing to their physical size but alternatively may be
tested in a test rig or by the suspended weight method. If checked in a test rig the instrument shall be
dried after testing and appropriate preservative applied prior to reinstallation in permanent location.
3.2.9.1
3.2.9.2
3.2.10
'In Situ' Testing:

a)
Check that the process conditions permit the use of water.
b)
Where the instrument ultimate service is other than water, check the manufacturer's instructions
for the method of compensating for the SG at the operating temperature.
c)
Make sure that the vessel isolation valves are completely closed.
d)
Connect a graduated glass or plastic column parallel to the displacer chamber via the bottom drain
connection or gauge tapping.
e)
Make sure that the top of the displacer chamber is freely vented to the atmosphere.
f)
The level can then be varied by injecting water into the chamber. This is usually done by using a
water container and a hand pump connected via the bottom drain connection.
Weight Method Testing:

a)
This method involves the substitution of the displacer by calibration weights equal to the resultant
downwards force of the displacer at the required calibration points (refer to the manufacturer's
handbook for method of calculation).
b)
This method is generally used for displacers designed for top of tank mounting or with extra large
float chambers.
c)
In order to use the `weight method' it is necessary to fabricate a test rig in the workshop and to
remove the top section of the instrument containing the float arm, from the displacer caging.
Analysis Instruments
Calibration checks are usually carried out on analysers by injecting known samples into the sample
conditioning systems. This must be decided for each type of analyser by reference to the manufacturer's
handbook or by consultation with the instrument Vendor/Contractor and shall be agreed with the
Owner.
Complex analyser systems usually require specialist personnel from the analyser manufacturer to assist
in pre-calibration and commissioning and are generally outside the scope of the Vendor/Contractor's
responsibility.

GES C.55
Page 14 of 44
Rev 0 1999
3.2.11
Calibration Test
3.2.11.1
This procedure applies to transmitting, receiving and direct reading instruments other than local
pressure gauges, temperature gauges or switches.
3.2.11.2
Where instruments form part of a distributed system and where factory tests have been carried out, the
testing procedure shall be agreed with the Owner.
a)
Leak Test (Pressure Systems)

Apply maximum signal input pressure to the process connection, close the inlet valve and
disconnect the pressure source. Observe the gauge on the signal inlet and ensure that there is no
fall-off of pressure over a three minute period. Where leaks are suspected, these shall be
eliminated and the test repeated.
b)
3.2.12
Calibration Test
-
Check instrument at `zero' reading and adjust if necessary.
Raise the process input signal and record the corresponding output signal and/or scale
readings at 0, 25, 75, 100% of the instrument range. The readings must always be taken
when the signal is in a `rising' state.
Lower the process input signal and again record the corresponding output signal and/or
scale reading at 100, 75, 25, 0% of the instrument range. The readings must always be
taken when the signal is in a 'falling' state.
The percentage error calculated from the above tests shall not exceed the
manufacturer's stated limits for accuracy and hysteresis.
Where necessary, adjustments shall be made according to the manufacturer's instructions

and the tests repeated. Accuracy of readings must be better than or equal to the accuracy
limits stated in the manufacturer's specification.
After the tests have been completed the instrument shall be identified with a coloured
sticker.
Controller Functional Test - General

This procedure is applicable to conventional analogue controllers, either field or panel mounted and
would not apply to microprocessor type controllers which form part of an integrated system. Such
systems would normally be factory calibrated and any field tests or adjustments would be subject to
special agreement with the Owner.
3.2.13
Receiver Controllers (Closed-Loop Method)

Receiver Controllers, either pneumatic or electronic, shall be tested by the closed-loop method. This
entails connecting the controller output to the process input connection via, in the case of pneumatic
instruments, a capacity chamber e.g. 0.1 gallons (0.5 litre) or, in the case of an electronic instrument,
through a resistor equivalent to the average load resistance and a parallel connected 1F capacitor to the
input to give the system stability. The following steps should then be performed:
a)
Place controller action in `reverse' (decreasing output for increasing input);
b)
Set Proportional Band to a low value (high gain);

GES C.55
Page 15 of 44
Rev 0 1999
c)
Set Integral or Derivative actions (if fitted) to minimum action (integral to maximum time setting
and derivative to minimum);
d)
Check that the settings of any set point limit stops allow full scale pointer movement;
e)
Adjust the set-point to 50% of scale and set the auto/manual transfer switch to 'Auto';
f)
The controller output should now read 50% i.e. 8 psi (60 kPa) or 12mA or if there is a deviation
scale, it should be at null balance point (centre scale);
g)
Move the set-point upscale and downscale whilst observing the output meter. The output meter
should continuously track (follow) the set point and the deviation pointer should always read null.
Always allow time (say two minutes) at each set-point setting to permit the controller to balance
correctly;
h)
With the controller set-point and output at 50% as described in step 6 above, move the
proportional band setting from minimum to maximum. During this movement, the output or null
balance pointer should remain stationary;
i)
Then change the auto/manual transfer switch to `manual', whence it should be possible to vary the
output manually from 0 to 100% of the output scale;
j)
In the event of the controller performing incorrectly, adjustments should be made in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions until satisfactory test results are obtained;
k)
After completing the above tests satisfactorily, return the controller action to the correct mode
required for service operation. The controller adjustments should be left with settings of 100%
Proportional Band and minimum Integral and Derivative action;
NOTE : The full calibration checking of Proportional, Integral or Derivative functions is not
normally required but the Owner reserves the right to request the checking of these functions in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
3.2.14
Direct Connected Controllers (Open-Loop Method)
3.2.14.1
For controllers connected directly to the process, it is necessary to simulate the process variable as
described under 3.2.3.3.
3.2.14.2
A suitable power supply shall be connected and in the case of pneumatic controllers a capacity chamber
0.1 gallons (0.5 litre) shall be connected to the output to give the system stability.
3.2.14.3
An output gauge must also be provided if one does not already exist on the controller.
3.2.14.4
Checks must be made for controller alignment and synchronisation as follows:
3.2.14.5
Controller Alignment:
a)
Set the controller action to 'direct' and the auto/manual transfer switch to 'Auto'.
b)
Set the Proportional Band to a low value (high gain).
c)
Adjust the Integral or Derivative settings (if fitted) to minimum action. (Integral to maximum time
setting and derivative to minimum).
d)
Set the set-point to 50% (mid-scale).
e)
Increase the process variable to mid-scale at which point the controller output should change from

GES C.55
Page 16 of 44
Rev 0 1999
minimum to maximum.
3.2.14.6
f)
If this does not occur, make adjustment in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
g)
When correct changeover occurs, reverse the controller action and re-check the operation to
ensure that the controller is correctly aligned.
h)
If not, adjust in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and re-test.
Controller Synchronisation:
a)
Having checked the alignment as above in 3.2.14.5, set the controller action to the required mode
for operation, and set the Proportional band to 100%.
b)
Set the process variable and set-point to 50% (mid-scale).
c)
The controller is normally synchronised at 50% of the output range e.g. 8 psi (60 kPa) or 12 mA
and should therefore indicate mid output range when the set-point and the process variable are at
mid-scale.
d)
With the controller set up at mid-scale as above, adjust the Proportional Band setting from
minimum to maximum, during which the output pointer should remain stationary.
e)
In the event of the controller performing incorrectly, adjustments should be made in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions and the tests repeated.
f)
Change the auto/manual transfer switch to 'manual', whence it should be possible to vary the
output manually from 0 to 100% of the output scale.
g)
After completing the above tests satisfactorily, return the controller action to the correct mode
required for service operation. The controller adjustment should be left with settings of 100%
Proportional Band and minimum Integral and Derivative action.
NOTE : The full calibration checking of Proportional, Integral or Derivative functions is not normally
required but the Owner reserves the right to request the checking of these functions in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
3.2.15
Pressure Gauges
3.2.15.1
Pressure gauges shall be checked by means of a Hydraulic Pressure Gauge comparator.
3.2.15.2
The Gauge Comparator should be firmly fixed to a bench. A test gauge of range comparable to the
gauge under test is fitted to one branch of the comparator. The gauge to be tested is fitted to the other
branch and the hand pump on the comparator operated in order to check the gauge against the readings
of the test gauge.
Readings shall be checked for pressures corresponding to 0, 50 and 100% of the range of the gauge
under test.
Actual gauge readings shall be noted for both rising and falling signals.

Rev 0 1999
weight tester depending upon the range of the switch under test. A continuity test-circuit shall be
connected across the contacts to ensure correct operation.
3.2.16.2
Care should be taken to ensure that the switch operation is in the correct mode, i.e. with a rising or
falling signal according to the instrument specification.
3.2.16.3
Where the switching differential is stated in the specification, this shall also be checked.
3.2.17
Temperature Indicators (Local)
3.2.17.1
Local temperature indicators (dial thermometers) shall be checked using a temperature bath as described
in 3.2.7.1.
3.2.17.2
They shall normally be checked at approximately 50% of the range unless agreed otherwise with the
Owner.
3.2.18

Connect an appropriate power supply via a switch.
3.2.20.2
Connect an air supply to the appropriate port or ports.
3.2.20.3
Check the operation of the valve by operating the switch and observing correct changeover action.
3.2.20.4
Check the tightness of shut-off by connecting a flexible tube to the outlet port or ports and immersing
the free end in water to ensure that the valve closure is bubble-tight at the stated design pressure.
3.2.20.5
Check, where applicable, time to activate, electrical and manual reset, override and time delay features
as called for in the valve specification.
3.2.20.6
Check that the coil resistance and voltage is correct to specification.
3.2.21
Flow Elements
3.2.21.1
Flow elements, e.g. orifice plates, venturis, V/A meters, turbine meters, etc., shall not be installed until
line flushing has been completed.
3.2.21.2
Manufacturers' test certificates shall normally be accepted for flow elements which cannot usually be
tested in the field including turbine meters and magnetic flow meters. Omission of tests shall be agreed

GES C.55
Page 18 of 44
Rev 0 1999
with the Owner.

3.2.21.3
Before installation the flow element should be checked to ensure that the data and material specification
stamped on the data plate or tab handle agree with the specification.
3.2.21.4
After installation turbine meters shall be tested regularly, preferably in the medium they usually carry. If
used on custody transfer application they must be regularly and frequently checked by the meter prover.
Electromagnetic flowmeters do not, as a rule, require testing unless suspected of being faultly. If so,
electodes should be checked for cleanliness. Electronics can be checked in the lab if suitable test
equipment is available. Alternatively, exchange for new to see if the problem is rectified.
Orifice plates shall be regularly checked for flatness and quality of profile. Sharp edged plates shall
have a sharp upstream edge that is free from cuts. Only if there is any suggestion that the bore may have
changed must it be checked with Vernier callipers; if a change has occured, the cause must be
determined and eliminated before a new plate is installed.
3.2.21.5
Orifice plate installation will be witnessed by the Owner.
3.2.22
Control Valves
3.2.22.1
General:
a)
These tests may be carried out in the instrument workshop or, as is more often the case, in situ
after the valve has been installed in the line. Tests should preferably not be carried out until the
valve is in its final operating state, i.e. after line flushing operations have been completed.
NOTE : Where circumstances dictate that line flushing and hydrostatic testing have to occur with
the valve in situ, the valve packing must be checked and replaced if damaged.
3.2.22.2
b)
Check that the valve and data plate agree with the control valve specification.
c)
Check that, where specified, a lubricator is fitted and that it is charged with the correct lubricant.
d)
All On/Off valves shall be leak tested.
Diaphragm Valves Without Positioners:

a)
Note the dry operating range (bench-set) of the diaphragm actuator from its data plate or
specification sheet. Do not use an additional positioner with the valve.
b)
Connect a suitable regulated air supply together with an accurate test gauge to the diaphragm case
connection.
c)
Increase the air pressure to load the diaphragm and check the valve spindle position from the valve
stem position indicator. The travel should be checked at the following positions: 0, 25, 75, 100%
of the valve stroke.
d)
Where necessary, adjust the valve spring tension nut to obtain the correct start point and re-test.
e)
Where necessary, check that the speed of operation from fully open to fully closed is within the
limits stated on the specification sheet.
f)
When requested by the Owner, the hysteresis shall be checked by using a micrometer dial
indicator clamped to the valve stem and repeating the travel test with rising and falling signals at
0, 25, 75, or 100% of valve stroke. The hysteresis should be within + 5% of the valve stroke

GES C.55
Page 19 of 44
Rev 0 1999
unless otherwise specified.

g)
When tight shut-off is an important criterion, a test rig must be fabricated comprising a blind
flange on the valve outlet fitted with a 0.25" (6mm) bleed pipe and a suitable rated isolation valve
from the centre of the flange. The open end of the bleed pipe shall be immersed in a container of
water so that discharge bubbles can be observed. The valve inlet shall be connected to a source of
pressure equal to the valve shut-off pressure.
The specified signal corresponding to the valve closed position under normal operating conditions
shall be applied to the valve actuator and, if necessary, adjustments made to the valve until the
leakage bubble-rate is within the specified tolerance.
h)
3.2.22.3
Where an air failure lock-up relay or other accessory device is incorporated, it shall be checked for
correct operation (on air failure) in accordance with the instrument specification.
Diaphragm Valves With Positioners:

a)
Note the dry operating range (bench-set) of the diaphragm actuator from its data plate or
specification sheet, i.e. bench-set of actuator irrespective of positioner.
b)
Note the operating range of the positioner, input and output.
c)
Where the positioner is fitted with a bypass valve (normally omitted on split-range service), switch
the valve to the `bypass' position and connect a variable air supply with test gauge to the signal
input connection.
d)
Where no positioner bypass is fitted, disconnect the air connection from the actuator case and
connect in the variable air supply with test gauge direct to the diaphragm head.
e)
The actuator must then be checked for travel, independent from the positioner, with rising and
falling signals at 0, 25, 75 and 100% of valve stroke.
f)
Where necessary, check that the speed of operation, from fully open to fully closed, is within the
limits stated on the specification sheet.
g)
After checking the valve stroke without the positioner, the stroke shall be checked with the
positioner in service. Connect an air supply to the positioner 'supply' connection and adjust to
6psig (42kPag) above the maximum operating range of the actuator.
Switch the positioner bypass valve to the òn' position. If no bypass is fitted, reconnect the
positioner output to the actuator and connect the variable air supply to the positioner signal
connection.
If necessary, adjust in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and then re-test.
h)
3.2.22.4
If required, hysteresis, tight shut-off and air failure tests shall be carried out.
Other Actuators:
a)
Control valves with other types of actuators, e.g. piston operators, air cylinder operators,
electro/hydraulic or electric motor operators, shall be tested for stroking and failure action in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Tests shall be carried out using correct pressures.
b)
Where limit switches or torque switches are fitted these shall be checked using a continuity test
set, for correctness of setting and for operation. On motorised valves, care shall be taken to check

GES C.55
Page 20 of 44
Rev 0 1999
the setting of the limit switches before putting power on to the actuator.
3.2.23
Safety Relief Valves
3.2.23.1
General:
a)
The testing of safety relief valves shall be carried out by qualified personnel and the following
tests are given as a guidance when within the Vendor/Contractor's scope. All test methods must
be agreed with the Owner before being put into operation.
b)
The following standard is applicable to this procedure:API Standard 527 - Seat Tightness of Pressure Relief Valves
3.2.23.2
c)
It is important that Safety Relief Valves are stored in a secure warehouse with the valves standing
vertically. When received, the valve blanking plates should be checked for damage which could
have allowed the passage of foreign material into the inlet nozzle and the body cavity.
d)
If Safety Relief Valves are shipped without test-gags in place, then it will be necessary to strip
down every valve to ensure that there has been no damage on seats or discs during transit and to
remove any loose material.
Test Rig:
a)
Safety relief valves are normally tested in a workshop which shall be equipped with a suitable test
rig.
The test rig design shall be such that there is no possibility of the formation of rust or scale which
could be blown through into the valve under test. A suitable nozzle with gaskets, adaptor flanges
and bolts or clips shall be incorporated so that the relief valve under test may be mounted rigidly
in a vertical position.
b)
Compressed air is preferred as a test fluid but bottled inert gas may be used if air is not available at
the required pressure. The test fluid should be filtered to ensure that no particles of foreign matter
are passed through into the valve under test.
c)
If a test gas other than air is used, the test rig must be installed in a freely ventilated location.
d)
For High Pressure duties, hydrostatic testing may be required using a purpose built test rig which
should be operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. On hydrostatic test rigs, all
piping and fittings in contact with water shall be of stainless steel.
e)
To control the test pressure, a precision reducing valve and test pressure gauge (minimum 150mm
diameter) with recitable maximum pointer shall be provided on the inlet side. The reducing valve
and gauge ranges shall be selected to cover the range of relief valve set pressures to be tested.
f)
The outlet flange of the relief valve shall be provided with a suitable mating flange or clamp-on
cover plate which shall be fitted to the valve only when the seat leakage test is carried out. This
flange shall incorporate the following:
-
a " (6mm ) bore bleed pipe in accordance with API 527;
a safety plug to prevent the downstream side of the relief valve from becoming over
pressurised in the event of inadvertent popping of the relief valve. The safety plug shall
be designed to blow at, say 3 psig (20 kPag).
NOTE : The bleed pipe and safety plug may be combined into one item by inserting the

GES C.55
Page 21 of 44
Rev 0 1999
bleed pipe through the safety plug.

3.2.23.3
3.2.23.4
3.2.23.5
Test Procedure:
a)
Safety relief valves shall be tested immediately prior to installation. If installation is deferred, the
protective flange covers shall be refitted and the valve stored in a vertical position. When required
for service the valve must be re-tested.
b)
All tests on safety relief valves shall be recorded on the test sheet and the signatures of witnesses
shall be obtained as required.
c)
The relief valve tests are in two stages:

-
Popping and reseating;
Seat leakage test.
Popping and Reseating:

a)
Before popping the relief valve the outlet flange shall be removed.
b)
The inlet nozzle should be wiped clean prior to testing.
c)
The relief valve "cold set pressure" shall be ascertained and entered on the test record sheet. This
pressure should be found on the valve data plate or on the valve data sheet.
d)
The test pressure shall be increased slowly until the relief valve is observed to pop and the
pressure (as indicated by the `maximum' pointer on the test gauge) shall be noted on the test record
sheet. If the difference between the measured popping pressure and the cold set pressure is outside
acceptable tolerances, the valve setting shall be adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
e)
The test pressure shall then be lowered and the reseating pressure noted and checked that it agrees
with the relief valve manufacturer's data.
Seat Leakage Test:

Unless otherwise specified the seat leakage rate shall be tested in accordance with API 527. This test
procedure is summarised as follows:
a)
Immediately after the popping test as described in Section 3.2.23.4, the test pressure shall be
lowered and held at 10% below the set pressure or 5 psig (35 kPag) minimum for the duration
specified in API 527.
b)
The outlet flange shall be refitted complete with safety plug and the open end of the bleed pipe
shall be immersed in water to a depth of 0.5" (13mm) below the surface. The leakage rate in
bubbles per minute will then be checked in accordance with API 527.
c)
Failure of the leakage test shall be corrected by dismantling the valve and lapping the disc and seat
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
d)
After testing, the valve shall be identified by a suitably coloured sticker, see Section 3.2.1.12.
NOTE : During testing to API 527 using the cup method, it is possible for air leakage to occur
around the top bonnet flange, the outlet flange made off for the test and the cap. These should be
soap tested during the test to prove that there is no leakage. Alternatively, a flooded seat test
should be nominated for valves having discharge flanges greater than 2" (50mm) and, after such a

GES C.55
Page 22 of 44
Rev 0 1999
test, the body cavity shall be thoroughly dried with instrument air.
3.2.24
Vibration Proximity Type Probe
3.2.24.1
This typical procedure (Vendor/Contractor's actual procedure must be followed) assumes that the probe
requiring check is installed on the machine and powered up.
a)
Before calibration procedure is carried out, the following should be noted:

1 mil
1 thou
1 mm
=
=
=
1 thou (1 mil is an American terminology for 1 thou);

25.4 micrometers;
1000 micrometers.
b)
Remove J/B lid that contains the relevant proximeters.
c)
Connect a digital voltmeter (D.V.M) (selected to measure D.C voltage) to the common and
negative signal connections on the proximeter without disconnecting the circuit.
d)
Remove the vibration probe from its permanent position and mount on horizontal mounting on the
wobulator (rotating tilted table).
e)
Re-connect cable to probe.
f)
The indication on the D.V.M. will now read -21 volts or above.
g)
Mount the micrometer on the wobulator, ensuring that the correct target is on the micrometer (the
target should be of the same material as the machine shaft that is to be monitored).
h)
Before clamping move the micrometer (and thus the target) towards the probe gently until the
target just touches the probe.
i)
The micrometer is now set to zero and clamped.
j)
The D.V.M. will read approx 0 volts.
k)
The micrometer is now backed off by 0.1mm and reading taken from the D.V.M. This process is
repeated until a complete set of figures are obtained (the final plot should be when a reading of 16 volts is indicated).
l)
Now plot the graph.
m)
The vibration probe will be used in the range -7 to -11 volts so the nearest readings to -7 volts on
the D.V.M. are plotted. The same applies for the -11 value.
n)
The span is calculated by subtracting these values the resultant different i.e. the span in mm is
divided by 25.4 to convert to imperial measurement. This figure is now thousands of an inch.
o)
The span figure in imperial can now be divided into the recorder span volts, this should give a
value of 200mv/0.001".
p)
If the figure is around 200mv/0.001 inch 5% the probe is O.K.
q)
If the probe is measuring radial vibration replace the probe to its permanent position and adjust the
gap to -9 volts.
r)
Axial probes will require the shafts to be centralised and then gap set to -9 volts.

3.2.25
Microprocessor Based Systems
3.2.25.1
Microprocessor based control systems are not covered by this procedure except in so far as the tests
detailed can be applied to components of a system.
3.2.25.2
On site check-out and pre-commissioning should usually be carried out by specialist personnel from the
equipment vendor or alternatively by reference to the manufacturer's instructions.
3.2.25.3
Nevertheless, the basic requirement remains that every input and output signal must be checked through
from its field initiation point to control room display unit or vice versa. All control and logic functions
must be checked for operability in accordance with the manufacturer's stated performance
characteristics.
3.2.25.4
All checks must be recorded on loop tests sheets and included in the appropriate loop dossier.
3.2.25.5
All test methods must be agreed with the Owner.
3.2.25.6
For further details refer to GES C.54.
3.2.26
Special Control Systems

The procedures for pre-testing of complex control systems (e.g. multi-fuel combustion controls) need to
be agreed with the Owner before the work begins. Similarly, complex interlocking and shut down
systems with many inputs and outputs normally call for a carefully thought out testing procedure which
must be formulated and agreed in advance.
3.3
Pressure Testing
3.3.1
General
3.3.1.1
The object of this phase of the testing procedure is to ensure that all instrument piping and tubing is
pressure tight to the specified working/testing conditions.
3.3.1.2
The pressure testing of any site fabricated equipment, i.e. cooling chambers, capacity pots, catch pots,
etc., shall be witnessed by the Owner unless this has been waived, in which case test certificates must be
submitted.
3.3.1.3
Under no case shall any instrument, other than control valves and thermowells, be subject to test
pressures.
3.3.1.4
Prior to testing and cleaning all lines shall be disconnected from the instrument and blocked off. Before
and after testing, all lines shall be flushed and blown down with water or air (as appropriate) to remove
all contamination.
3.3.1.5
The instrument piping and tubing to be tested can be classified in the following categories:
a)
Air supply piping (3.3.2)
b)
Transmission/signal tubing (3.3.3)
c)
Process Impulse Piping (3.3.4)
The pressure testing of air supply piping, transmission tubing and process impulse pipework on a given
loop shall be completed before the final loop testing. Thus, if the transmitter has to be disconnected for
loop testing, only one connection has to be re-checked.

GES C.55
Page 24 of 44
Rev 0 1999
3.3.2
Air Supply Piping
3.3.2.1
The main instrument air header from the source up to and including the first isolation, i.e. branch shut
off valves usually on the pipe track, will be tested by others unless otherwise specified.
The following tests assume that the instrument air compressors and dryers have been commissioned and
an instrument air supply established at the specified working conditions, i.e. clean, dry and oil free.
3.3.2.2
Branch air lines to individual instruments shall be disconnected immediately upstream of, and adjacent
to, the instrument air filter regulator and blown through with clean air, until clear of all foreign
materials.
3.3.2.3
The open end(s) shall be blanked off and a suitable test pressure gauge connected into the system.
3.3.2.4
The isolation valve immediately upstream of the piping to be tested should be opened and, when the line
is pressurised, the valve is closed. This test shall have a duration of 10 minutes and the test gauge shall
be observed in order to detect leakage. In addition all joints shall be checked by the application of soap
solution or similar and leaking joints remade as necessary.
3.3.2.5
On completion of the test, the line shall be reconnected and the joint(s) not previously proven checked
with soap solution or similar.
3.3.2.6
The pipe shall then be identified by a suitably coloured sticker as stated in Section 3.2.1.12.
3.3.2.7
If a permanent air supply has not been established prior to these tests, an alternative source of clean, oilfree, dry air or nitrogen from either storage cylinders or an oil-free compressor with dryer shall be used.
3.3.3
Transmission Tubing
3.3.3.1
Each individual tube shall be disconnected at both ends and blown through with clean, oil-free, dry air.
3.3.3.2
The tubes shall then be blanked off and pressurised to 20 psig (137 kPag) from an existing air supply,
via a pneumerstat or bubble bottle. After pressurising, the bubble rate shall be less than one bubble in
10 seconds. If an air supply is not readily available, the tubes may be pressurised using a foot pump and
with a manometer teed into the system. With the pressure source isolated the reading shall not fall.
3.3.3.3
The tube shall then be reconnected and, when an air supply is established, the joints not proven shall be
tested with soap solution. This may be achieved by setting the transmitter/controller outputs to
maximum.
3.3.3.4
Underground tubing shall be tested before trenches are backfilled.
3.3.3.5
The tubing shall then be identified by a suitably coloured sticker as stated in Section 3.2.1.12.
3.3.4
Process Impulse Piping and/or Hydraulic Lines
3.3.4.1
After fabrication, process impulse piping shall, where practical, be disconnected at both ends for
flushing and testing.
3.3.4.2
After flushing the line with water, one end shall be blanked off and the other shall be connected to a
hydraulic pump with a suitable test gauge fitted. The line shall then be pressurised to 1 times the
maximum working pressure (corrected for temperature) or the test pressure of the associated process
line or vessel, whichever is the greater. The line shall then be isolated from the pressure source and the
pressure must not fall.

GES C.55
Page 25 of 44
Rev 0 1999
3.3.4.3
After testing, the lines shall be blown dry and reconnected to the instrument manifold and all manifold
valves shall be checked for tight shut-off.
3.3.4.4
For close coupled instruments, e.g. line mounted d/p cells, the pipes shall be disconnected at the
instrument only and tested as per Sections 3.3.4.1, 3.3.4.2 and 3.3.4.3 up to the initial isolation.
3.3.4.5
During hydraulic tests on the main process lines, instruments must be disconnected to ensure that initial
isolation are leak proof. During flushing, it is the Instrument Tester's responsibility to ensure that all
installed instruments are suitably and positively isolated from the process line. Instruments fitted with
manifolds must have their bypass valve open.
3.3.4.6
The Instrument Tester must ensure that all instrument pressure tappings have been drilled through the
pipe wall.
3.3.4.7
All instrument equipment and piping hydro-statically tested with water shall be thoroughly dried out on
completion of the test.
3.3.4.8
No pressure tests shall be carried out on the process impulse piping or hydraulic lines unless these are
authorised by the Owner in writing.
3.4
3.4.1
`Power Off' Tests
3.4.1.1
Immediately after cables are laid and before any connection* all thermocouple, electric and electronic
instrument wiring shall be checked for polarity, continuity and insulation resistance between conductors
and between conductors to earth. These tests MUST be carried out before final loop tests.
*WARNING - Severe damage may be caused to barriers and electronic equipment if inadvertent
meggering of cables is carried out after connection.
Continuity and insulation resistance checks shall be carried out using the proper test equipment to
comply with the requirements of BS 7671 (IEE Requirements for Electrical Installations), or the rules
and regulation with which the installation has to comply.
3.4.1.2
Underground cables shall be tested before backfilling is commenced.
3.4.1.3
Other tests on IS circuits (e.g. for loop impedance, inductance, L/R ratio, etc), shall be carried out,
where required, by agreement with the Owner.

Loop Testing
3.5.1
General
3.5.1.1
The object of loop testing is to ensure that all instrumentation components in a loop are correctly
calibrated and are in a state ready for plant commissioning.
3.5.1.2
The procedures to be adopted in carrying out these tests is detailed below, but in general the completed
instrument loop shall be tested as one system and, where necessary, adjustments shall be made to ensure
that the loop is fully operational as a system and is correctly calibrated. All associated alarms, trips and
indicators shall be checked during loop testing.
3.5.1.3
Those loops of which part is located on a process package unit shall be tested in their entirety; i.e. the
total loop shall be functionally tested including those items located on the process package units.
3.5.1.4
A pre-requisite to testing of equipment is mechanical completed/acceptance of associated pipework,

wiring, mounting and the general acceptability of the installation as a professional piece of work of all
items related to the loop. This is obtained from the mechanical completion dossier held by the
Vendor/Contractor.
3.5.1.5
Loop testing of remote control loops is a two-man operation, one man in the field and one man in the
control room. These men must be provided with adequate means of remote communication, i.e. field
telephones or two-way radios, as approved by the Owner.
3.5.1.6
During loop testing, the Vendor/Contractor's electrical section representative shall normally be in
attendance to check his inter-related sections of work during trip and alarm checks. The instrument
tester will request his attendance giving adequate notice.
3.5.1.7
Loop testing shall not be carried out on electronic equipment until an adequate warm-up period has
elapsed. Where possible instruments shall be energised for at least 24 hours prior to testing.
3.5.1.8
In all instances, the Owner's representative will witness the final loop tests and countersign the test
certificates. The Owner shall be given adequate notice of final tests so that the necessary witnesses may
be made available.
3.5.1.9
Upon completion, a test certificate for every installation recording all results, shall be handed to the
Owner. The certificates for any tests not witnessed shall be accompanied by the Owner's written
confirmation that witnessing has been waived.
3.5.1.10
On completion of loop testing all controllers shall be left with CORRECT ACTION and with 100%
Proportional Band setting. Derivative and Integral functions shall be set at minimum action.
3.5.1.11
Before commencement of tests, inspect the loop, setting air/electrical supplies where appropriate.
Check in particular that control valves air supply pressures are set in accordance with the
specification.
3.5.1.12
For electronic loops check polarities, measure the loop impedance and make the necessary
compensating adjustments. Ensure the loop impedance tester is of a type that will not damage a field
connected instrument.
3.5.1.13
Manually or by simulated process input signals instrument output signals equivalent to at least 0, 50 and
100% of the instrument range shall be generated, both rising and falling, to check the response of all
other instruments and control valves in the loop.
3.5.1.14
No electronic loop shall be powered until proof of continuity and insulation tests having been
successfully completed is available.

GES C.55
Page 27 of 44
Rev 0 1999
3.5.1.15
Instrument zero settings and calibration adjustments shall be made as necessary.
3.5.1.16
For special notes on electrical temperature instruments see Sections 3.2.7 and 3.5.3.
3.5.2
Loop Testing Procedure
3.5.2.1
Switch the controller to manual operation and by applying the appropriate signals ensure that the control
valve or valves stroke correctly. Valve positioner gauges shall also be checked during this stage.
3.5.2.2
Apply an actuating signal to the controller equivalent to 50% of the instrument range and adjust the
manual regulator output to 50%. Adjust the controller set-point to 50% and, by switching the
auto/manual transfer switch, check for `bumpless' transfer. Using the manufacturer's instructions, adjust
where necessary until satisfactory `bumpless' transfer is achieved.
3.5.2.3
Check alarm and trip actions by varying the actuating signals and adjust as necessary.
3.5.2.4
Where interlock inputs have already been proven during measurement and control loop tests, these
inputs shall be by-passed. All other inputs shall be proven. The complete interlock system shall then be
checked for correct sequence of operation, and all output devices shall be shown to work satisfactorily.
3.5.2.5
Where a part of the plant has been classified as a hazardous area caution is necessary if final loop
testing is performed after the introduction of hydrocarbons, or other potentially hazardous material into
the plant. Such tests shall be under the direct supervision of the Owner under the Work Permit system.
3.5.2.6
The appropriate national codes and local regulations shall be followed where a flameproof or explosionproof or safety purged enclosure needs to be opened to simulate operation. This normally involves a
periodic gas test in the area. Note that, in any case, power should be switched off prior to removing and
replacing enclosure covers.
3.5.2.7
Where intrinsically safe circuits are used at field sensors, no restriction is normally encountered,
providing test equipment does not infringe intrinsic safety certification.
3.5.2.8
Locally mounted controller or transmitting only loops shall be tested in a similar manner to that
specified above omitting transmitter and/or auto/manual checks as necessary.
3.5.2.9
After each loop is satisfactorily tested, the controller shall be switched to manual and identified by a
suitably coloured sticker as specified in Section 3.2.1.12.
3.5.3
Temperature Loops (Thermocouple and Resistance Thermometer)
3.5.3.1
Thermocouples and resistance thermometers shall be removed from their wells and checked for damage.
The resistance of each resistance thermometer shall be measured at ambient temperature and resistance
and temperature noted.
3.5.3.2
After testing, thermocouples/resistance thermometers shall be replaced in their thermowells and

reconnected. It is important to ensure that the element is 'bottomed' in the thermowell and that the
polarity of the thermocouple connections is correct.
3.5.3.3
To assist in the identification of thermocouple compensating cable conductors, the following guide is
given:
a)
For compensating cables having insulation colour coded to British Standard BS 1843 : 1987, the
negative wire is always coloured BLUE.
b)
For type T thermocouples (copper/constantan) the positive wire is COPPER coloured.

c)
GES C.55
Page 28 of 44
Rev 0 1999
For type K thermocouples (chrome/alumel) the negative wire is slightly magnetic.
3.5.3.4
For galvanometer deflection type installations using thermocouples, compensating lead resistances shall
be adjusted.
3.5.3.5
Where a two-wire resistance thermometer system is employed, 'make up' resistances shall be adjusted.
3.5.3.6
For three and four-wire resistance thermometer installations, extra care must be taken to ensure the
correct connections.

Where there are two cables connecting the earth bars
together, disconnect one of the cables at one end and
measure the resistance between the earth bars and the
disconnected cables. Record the measured value.
Reconnect the cable, disconnect the other cable and repeat
the measurement. Record the measured value and
reconnect the cable. The two measured values should be the
same. If the value of each is R ohms, the resistance will be
R/ 4

These tests must only be carried out when the electrical

supplies to the I.S. circuits are shut off and a gas clearance
certificate of the area influenced by the measurements has
been obtained, when a gas clearance certificate is available.
Disconnect each I.S. circuit, in turn, from the hazardous area
side of its barriers, relays, or other safe-area apparatus.
Measure the insulation resistance to earth of the
disconnected screen. Record results below 10M : fail
insulation below 1 megohm
Disconnect each I.S. cable screen in turn.
Measure the insulation resistance to earth of the
disconnected circuit. Record results below 10M
fail insulation below 1 megohm
Disconnect each I.S. earth bar in turn from I.S. earth.
