SHUTDOWN/BLOWDOWN VALVE FUNCTION TEST (HALF YEARLY)

TASK FOR SHUTDOWN VALVE :

The following actions are to be completed:
Note: credit can be taken from recent successful operation
of this valve within the last 30 days. The event log
can be checked against recent events and closure times
can be taken from the log. If previous credit
cannot be found then a function test must be
performed.

Where credit cannot be taken from previous operation of valve

the following steps:
1. Notify operations personnel of work to be performed.
2. Complete required permits.
3. Complete facility required lockout/tag out procedures (as
applicable).
4. Perform partial closure test of the emergency shutdown
valve (carry out electrical, pneumatic, manual or
hydraulic actuation of valve).

Where possible, carry out full closure test. Record

valve closure time in CMMS and ensure it does not exceed
45 seconds unless otherwise noted in the design
specification.
5. Check the condition and perform a functional test of the
valve interlock arrangement, where applicable.
6. Re-open valve while confirming that the valves is free to
move and is suitable for further use.
7. Return valve to normal operating state. If possible,
perform function test the check valve.
8. Remove all isolations as applicable.
9. Clean-up worksite and dispose of any waste materials in
accordance with waste management procedures.
10. Analyze results, confirm that the minimum operational
standards have been achieved, and enter into CMMS.
11. Notify operations that the work is complete and return
equipment to normal operational state as per operation
personnel instructions

TASK FOR BLOWDOWN VALVE

Note: Credit can be taken from recent successful operation
of this valve providing evidence is available to prove
valve closure timing where appropriate.

If previous credit cannot be found then a function test must

be performed. The following actions are to be completed:
1. Notify operations personnel of work to be performed.
2. Complete required permits.
3. Complete facility required lockout/tag out procedures (as
applicable).
4. Observe that the loop is performing satisfactorily;
consult with the control room operator to determine if there
are any known problems with the loop.
5. Visually inspect process pipe work; flanges and manifolds
and ensure they are secure, undamaged and free of leaks.
6. Visually inspect instrument small-bore pipe work and
compression fittings for damage, leakage, corrosion, and
support and ensure correct installation of fittings.
Check there is no intermix of manufacturer's products.
7. Visually inspect all valve-associated instrumentation.
Such as valve position indicators, solenoids etc. For
security of mounting, damage, corrosion and deterioration.
8. Conduct full function test of the blow down valve
(perform valve). Where credit cannot be taken from previous
operation of valve then initiate stroke check of the
valve from the control room. Confirm that the valve is
free to move under normal operation and is suitable for
further use.
9. Confirm valve movement is smooth over full travel in both
the open and closed directions.
10. Check valve opening time is within limits.
11. Where appropriate confirm that all indications of valve
position are correctly working and the event has been
logged.
12. Check the condition and perform a functional test of the
valve interlock arrangement, where fitted.
13. Lubricate valve, gearbox and drive train, where fitted,
as required on completion of full function test in
accordance with OEMs guidelines.
14. If a second solenoid is fitted repeat function check and
record valve operating times.
15. Ensure subject equipment is returned to the appropriate
operational state.
16. Remove all isolations as applicable.
17. Clean-up worksite and dispose of any waste materials in
accordance with waste management procedures.
18. Analyze results, confirm that the minimum operational s
tandards have been achieved, and enter into CMMS.
19. Notify operations that the work is complete and return
equipment to normal operational state as per operation
personnel instructions.
