Preface

This preface, as well as all footnotes and annexes, is included for informational purposes only and is not part of ISA-RP76.0.01-1998.

This recommended practice has been prepared as part of the service of ISA, the international society for measurement and control, toward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation. To be of real value, this document should not be static, but should be subject to periodic review. Toward this end, the Society welcomes all comments and criticisms, and asks that they be addressed to the Secretary, Standards and Practices Board; ISA; 67 Alexander Drive; P. O. Box 12277; Research Triangle Park, NC 27709; Telephone (919) 549-8411; Fax (919) 549-8288; E-mail: [email protected].

The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of instrumentation standards, recommended practices, and technical reports. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA users of ISA standards of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce SI and

acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practices and technical reports to the extent possible. Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric System, published by the American Society for Testing & Materials as IEEE/ ASTM SI 10-97, and future revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols, abbreviations, and conversion factors.

It is the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned individuals and interests in the development of ISA standards. Participation in the ISA standards-making

process by an individual in no way constitutes endorsement by the employer of that individual, of ISA, or of any of the standards, recommended practices, and technical reports that ISA develops.

CAUTION-ISA ADHERES TO THE POLICY OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE WITH REGARD TO PATENTS. IF ISA IS INFORMED OF AN EXISTING PATENT THAT IS REQUIRED FOR USE OF THE RECOMMENDED PRACTICE, IT WILL REQUIRE THE OWNER OF THE PATENT TO EITHER GRANT A ROYALTY-FREE LICENSE FOR USE OF THE PATENT BY USERS COMPLYING WITH THE RECOMMENDED PRACTICE OR A LICENSE ON REASONABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE FREE FROM UNFAIR DISCRIMINATION.

EVEN IF ISA IS UNAWARE OF ANY PATENT COVERING THIS RECOMMENDED PRACTICE, THE USER IS CAUTIONED THAT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDED PRACTICE MAY REQUIRE USE OF TECHNIQUES, PROCESSES, OR MATERIALS COVERED BY PATENT RIGHTS. ISA TAKES NO POSITION ON THE EXISTENCE OR VALIDITY OF ANY PATENT RIGHTS THAT MAY BE INVOLVED IN IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDED PRACTICE. ISA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IDENTIFYING

1 Purpose

The purpose of this recommended practice is to establish procedures for analyzer, packaged analyzer system, and sample system inspection and testing. The guidelines are intended to provide minimum requirements for inspecting and testing analyzers, sample systems, and analyzer systems prior to final acceptance. In no instance is this recommended practice intended to override any established company procedures.

2 Scope

The attached inspection guidelines are recommended for use during structured analyzer system inspection. The inspection should be performed by qualified individuals. This recommended practice is intended to be a guide and not a "how to" document. These are guidelines and should be modified to include any special project requirements. These guidelines cover three basic areas, which are:

a) ANALYZER INSPECTION: Inspection of an analyzer and the analyzer-specific application

engineering.

b) PACKAGED ANALYZER SYSTEM INSPECTION: Inspection of an analyzer building, shelter,

enclosure, highway controllers, and any other equipment used to support the analyzer operation (other than the analyzer and its sample system).

c) SAMPLE SYSTEM INSPECTION: Inspection of all vendor-supplied equipment that will be installed between the process sample tap and the analyzer.

For the purposes of this document, STRUCTURED TESTING is defined as any witnessed test procedure that follows a predefined format.

3 Analyzer inspection guidelines

3.1 Safety and health considerations during testing

The test host (i.e., analyzer manufacturer or system integrator) should be responsible to ensure that the test site and all equipment meet all applicable electrical, safety and health requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

(10)

--``,,`,,`,`,,``,,`,,``,```````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---10 ISA-RP76.0.01-1998

3.2 Documentation availability and applicability

All documentation should be system specific, and the latest revisions of the applicable

documents should be used. Any documentation not pertinent to the project should be deleted (unless previously agreed to otherwise). All applicable documentation should be readily available at the time of the inspection. The documentation format should be as specified or agreed to beforehand (including language).

3.3 Maintainability

Wherever possible, all equipment should be installed in such a manner that any hardware items can be easily removed without the removal of any other hardware. Easy tool access to screws, nuts, fittings, etc. should be available. All equipment should be mounted so that removable covers are accessible and adequate clearance for removal is provided.

3.4 Interfacing compatibility of this system with external or connective

devices

Analog and serial signals should be tested. Analog signals should be tested for linearity and ground isolation. If specified, all externally interfaced equipment should be provided (i.e., printers, recorders, plotters, protocol converters, etc.). All discrete outputs should be verified, as per the specification.

3.5 Workmanship of tubing, wiring, conduit, supports, suitability for

trans-portation to site, personnel safety hazards

A small sample of tube fittings should be dismantled and checked for workmanship. All unfilled sealing fittings should be clearly identified with a red tag. Piping, wiring, and conduit should be sufficiently supported to withstand any anticipated vibration from site conditions or transportation. The inspector should check that there are no sharp edges, points or protrusions that could injure personnel during transportation, placement, or use.

3.6 Mutually agreed tests and proofing methods

The requirements for an inspection need to be agreed to early in the project (one of the purposes of this document). Vendor pre-inspection tests, the number of test and calibration samples, the proof of their content, and the duration of stability tests should be as specified and/or agreed to. Samples should contain all components of interest and all components that were identified on the application data sheet and that can interfere with this measurement. Whenever feasible, the customer should supply an acceptable analyzed standard for the inspection. Some portion of the stability test should be witnessed by the customer's representative. Test data should be

presented in the specified or agreed-to format (e.g., raw data, summaries, statistical evaluations, or SPC charts).

All outstanding action items should be resolved before the conclusion of the acceptance test. In the event that an open item cannot be resolved, an expected date should be identified by which the item will be resolved. An action log such as that at the end of Clause 4 is recommended for that purpose.

4 Checklists

The following may be used as inspection checklists or as references to help prepare checklists. It is suggested that any deviations from a checklist would be accepted only if agreed to in writing by both the customer and the vendor. Each type of analyzer system and/or sample can have unique requirements. Several blanks have been left in the following inspection guides, so users may easily incorporate additional items. Some of the listed items may not be relevant and may be deleted from a particular checklist; they are intended only as guides.
