6 PROCEDURE
Preparatory jobs:
1. Local Inspection of the instrument for any leakages or for physical damages.
2. Shifting of necessary tools.

Shut down jobs:

1. Take work permit from the user department
Ensure that the instrument is isolated from the process.
2. Open the drain / vent valves, and ensure instrument is reading zero pressure.
3. Disconnecting all Electrical connections to the instruments if any.

5. Take the Instrument to lab for calibration.

6. connect the instrument on the calibrating instrument and apply the pressure
from the calibrator, check for the display of the instrument against the
standard calibrating value each time.
7. If the standard value is matching with the measured value then no need for
any adjustment. If the deviation is more than the acceptable limit then
adjust the instrument and bring the error within the limit.
8. After calibration depressurize the calibrating instrument and ensure that the
gauge or transmitter is reading zero, then remove the gauge from the
calibrator.
9. Take the gauge/transmitter after calibration to site and install the same in its
location and give the electrical connections if any.
10.Take the instrument in service by slowly opening the process isolation
valve, remove all the air bubbles in the line and then close all drain/ vents.
11.Remove all scraps, tools etc from the location
12.Return permit after successful trial.

Spares requirement:
Nil
Tools & tackles:
1. Spanners
2. Screw-drivers.
3. Calibrator.

7. SAFETY ASPECTS:
 Work permit to be obtained from concerned department before starting
the work.
 Conduct Tool box talk
 Barricading the area
 PPE s should be used by all working at site.
 Operator should be informed before taking up the work.
 In addition to the above any other safety measures with respect to the
department / area will be followed as displayed in that site.
