Does the individual debugging of instruments include offline testing of the instruments?

2009-03-13View Original

Thread Content

For a project under construction, the contract specifies that the instrumentation part is to be completed only up to the stage of individual unit testing. Now the client requires that offline testing of the instrumentation also be carried out. Offline testing of instrumentation should fall under the scope of instrument calibration; can we request the client to cover the additional costs associated with this? I would appreciate some guidance from those who are more experienced.

I’m not quite sure why offline testing of the instruments is needed Generally, the commissioning of control instruments is divided into individual unit commissioning and system-level commissioning. Individual unit commissioning takes place in the instrument testing room prior to installation; it is also known as primary commissioning. Its purpose is to check whether the instruments meet their performance specifications, and to determine if there are any damages, defects, or missing parts resulting from transportation and storage ; It involves debugging and calibration in accordance with the product instructions, **, industry and corporate standards, as well as relevant tuning specifications, all of which are aimed at ensuring that the instruments meet the required quality and performance standards before installation. System commissioning – After installation, this involves the commissioning of the circuit system, also known as secondary commissioning. Its purpose is to check whether all components such as automatic control instruments, pipelines, and wiring are reliable, and to make the necessary adjustments and calibrations to address any deviations in the instrument readings caused by conditions related to location and environment ; The conditions for system commissioning are that the system installation is fully completed, the pipelines have been cleaned and purged, the pressure testing has passed, and the power and gas supplies meet the requirements for the operation of the instruments. If offline debugging constitutes system debugging, then according to the relevant contract terms, it is possible to request the owner to cover additional debugging costs ; Conversely, the costs cannot be increased. For reference!
