1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

Specifications (SP) contain information/requirements on PDO facilities that are either used repeatedly, or that are retained for future reference. These documents are intended for use by the Company and its nominated Consultants and Contractors. It is the responsibility of the User to ensure that he is using latest revision of this specification

The SP system is intended to:

Publish guidelines or codes of practice. Set the Company standards. Form a basis of technical specifications for the procurement of equipment or technical services. Disseminate and record engineering information, experience and procedures.

This Document is fully restricted for PDO. The accessibility for this document shall be maintained by PDO Mechanical Corporate Functional Discipline Head (CFDH) and his technical focal point.

This specification together with standard drawings, SPs, DEPs as mentioned in section 2 sets out the minimum requirements for the design, engineering, supply of materials, fabrication, assembly, inspection, testing, transportation, installation, commissioning supervision, functionality and supply of Pressure Vessel package. It has been written in a format that enables the Project engineer and the Consultant to easily and uniformly prepare a requisition and purchase Pressure Vessels, storage (atmospheric) vessels, pressure parts of filters, shell & tube heat exchangers etc. for a variety of applications in PDO.

For a specific purchase the Project Engineer / Consultant shall:

Follow this specification in general and do not require to produce additional specification. But in case of any project or equipment specific requirements, which are different from the ones specified in this specification, shall be prepared and attached as an amendment/addition to the particular sections of this specification. Ensure that the Vendor receives the applicable documentation listed in subsections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 & 2.5. Ensure that procedures for Vendor Drawings/Documentation are in accordance with SP-2047 'Preparation and Content of Engineering Drawings' and Section 7 of this specification.

This specification shall be used in conjunction with relevant equipment data sheets in the DEP format attached in Appendix-2 and Environmental & Site Conditions attached in Appendix-1. The User shall complete/follow these data sheets as applicable.
