Pressure regulating valve commissioning pre functional checklist

Pre-Commissioning Checks

Confirm proper installation of pressure regulating valve according to manufacturer's guidelines

Verify all connections are tight and leak-free

Ensure all pressure gauges are installed and calibrated correctly

Inspect for any physical damage or defects on the valve

Verify proper electrical connections are made and functioning correctly

Confirm that all valve settings are set to the correct specifications

Check for any obstructions in the valve or surrounding piping

Ensure that all isolation valves are in the correct position for commissioning

Verify that all safety devices are in place and functioning properly

Functional Checks

Verify proper operation of the valve by adjusting set pressure and observing response

Check for proper pressure regulation within specified range

Verify that pressure relief valve is functioning correctly

Ensure valve is responding to control signals properly

Perform leak test to ensure no leakage at the valve or connections

Verify that the valve is able to maintain set pressure over a period of time

Confirm that the valve can handle the maximum expected flow rate without issues

Test the valve's response to emergency shutdown signals

Check for any abnormal noise or vibration during operation

Verify that the valve can be manually operated in case of control system failure

Testing

Perform pressure testing to verify valve can handle specified pressure limits

Verify response time of valve to changes in pressure

Record all test results and compare against manufacturer specifications

Conduct leak testing to ensure valve is not allowing any fluid to escape

Verify proper functioning of pressure relief features in emergency situations

Measure and record the flow rate through the valve at different pressure levels

Test the valve's ability to maintain a consistent pressure output over an extended period of time

Conduct a performance test to ensure the valve operates within specified accuracy and repeatability limits

Documentation

Create commissioning report detailing all pre-functional checks, functional checks, and test results

Document any issues or discrepancies encountered during commissioning process

Ensure all documentation is signed and dated by commissioning team

Take photographs or videos of the commissioning process for reference and record keeping

Compile a list of spare parts and recommended maintenance schedules for the pressure regulating valve

Update any relevant schematics or drawings to reflect the new pressure regulating valve installation

Provide training or instructions for operation and maintenance of the pressure regulating valve to facility staff

Final Checks

Verify all documentation is complete and accurate

Confirm all safety precautions have been followed during commissioning process

Notify appropriate personnel that pressure regulating valve is ready for operation.

Conduct a final visual inspection of the pressure regulating valve to ensure all components are properly installed and in good working condition

Test the pressure regulating valve under various operating conditions to ensure it is functioning correctly

Verify that all control settings and adjustments have been properly configured and calibrated

Check for any leaks or abnormal noises during operation

Ensure that all instruments and gauges are reading accurately

Confirm that all alarms and shut-off mechanisms are functioning as intended

Perform a final operational check to ensure the pressure regulating valve is operating within specified parameters
