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.
1.2
CHANGES TO THE SPECIFICATION
Custodian of this document is specified in Document Authorisation section of this document

in page 3. Any user of this document, who encounters an inaccuracy or an ambiguity, is
requested to notify the Custodian, using the SP User Feedback Page included in Appendix-7.
Reviews, modifications and adjustments to the document will normally be made by the
Corporate Functional Discipline Head (CFDH) for Mechanical Engineering every four years or
earlier when justified.

USAGE
This Specification together with the referenced standards and data sheets shall form the
purchase requisition package for Pressure Vessels, storage vessels, filters, etc. as required
by the Company.
The Consultant / EPC Contractor may consider augmenting this SP under exceptional
circumstances where it may not precisely meet either enquiry or purchase requirements (eg.
In case of special equipment). Nominally it is anticipated that this SP and data requisition
sheets should finalise fully meaningful enquiry and purchase without generating additional
documentation. Under certain exceptional cases the additional requirements, project or
equipment specific special requirements/changes shall be specified as a separate
amendment to this SP subjected to approval by the Company.
1.5
ADHERENCE TO SPECIFICATIONS
The Vendor shall provide an itemized list of any additional projects specific comments or
exceptions to this specification and its appendices. These shall be listed on the Table of
Compliance provided in Appendix-4 for review & approval by Purchaser. Unless referred to
in these listings, it will be assumed that all specifications are adhered to and that they do not
have implications with respect to cost, delivery and integrity of the plant. Only those
comments/exceptions that are accepted by the Company, in writing, shall be incorporated
into the Purchase Specification at time of order. Note that lead times will not be considered
by the Company as a justifiable reason for using alternate Vendors/deviations.
1.6
HEALTH, SAFEY AND ENVIRONMENT
The Vendor shall throughout the progress of the work have the strongest regard for the
Health Safety and Environment (HSE) of all persons and/or places upon and around the
worksite and shall keep the worksite and the work in an orderly state appropriate to the
avoidance of danger to all persons and properties and shall provide its personnel, at the
Vendors cost, with protective clothing and equipment as may be required for the work under
the PDO HSE regulations.

The preparation for shipment of equipment and materials shall be in accordance with project
specific requirement, DEP 70.10.70.11-Gen and additional requirements as defined in this
section. Special care should be taken for the packaging of delicate equipments / parts.
8.1
PACKING REQUIREMENTS
All nozzles and open ends of the equipment shall be treated with Shell Ensis Fluid SDC and
closed off by wooden or plastic blanks and taped. Small bore connections shall be taped
over.
Preservation of the packages shall be suitable for a storage period of at least 6 months.
All equipment under sea shipment and those with Cr-Mo or higher alloy steel material shall
be cleaned, dried and then purged with nitrogen and sealed with nitrogen with a small
positive pressure not less than 0.7 bar(g). Nitrogen bottles shall be provided and secured to
the shipping saddles for refilling. All associated valves and gauges shall be provided to
monitor the nitrogen pressure inside the vessel.
The equipment shall be packed in a seaworthy close boarded case with a waterproof lining.
The case shall be sufficiently strong to withstand handling and storage.
For transportation of any equipment in Sultanate of Oman, the maximum height including the
trailer (standard height of low bed trailer 1.3 metres, special low bed trailer height 1 metre)
shall be 5.5 metres. The Vendor shall critically review this requirement and obtain necessary
approvals from local authorities / Purchaser prior to transportation. The equipment shall be
completely shop fabricated and transported in a single piece to site as far as possible.
All lifts should be single point unless adequately demonstrated by the Vendor that single point
lifts are not possible. Adequate lifting accessories such as lifting beam/frame, slings,
shackles etc. (as part of the shipment) shall be included, if required and agreed during order.
