Inspection and Test Plan for Centrifugal Compressor

You may also review centrifugal compressor testing and centrifugal compressor
inspection procedure/instruction articles.

The API 617/672 standard requirements normally are applied for inspection and test
plan in manufacturing shop.

Some others must only monitored and fully witnessing is not necessary, for these thing,
the inspection man-days etc. depends to the purchaser decision, some prefer stringent
monitoring and even assign resident inspector in manufacturing shop and some others
relay to quality control system of the manufacture and assign only few days for
monitoring points.

These are some of inspection points which need to be witnessed, monitored and
reviewed by third party inspector in centrifugal compressor manufacture shop.

Inspection and Test Plan for Centrifugal Compressor - Important Points

Centrifugal Compressor casings to be identified against foundry test certificates

and thicknesses checked to conform to approved drawings.
 Witnessing hydrostatic test on centrifugal compressor casing

For centrifugal compressor impellers, welding procedure and welder`s

qualifications to be established and impellers to be inspected before assembly by
Vendor and certificates need to be submitted with data-dossier in final
documentation.

Ensuring that centrifugal compressor overspeed tests on impellers/rotors have

been carried out as well as dynamic balancing of impellers/rotors. Witness the
dynamic balancing of the complete rotating assembly.

Witnessing leak test on lube oil tank and carry out internal and external inspection.

Inspection of prefabricated lube oil piping.

Witnessing centrifugal compressor mechanical running tests, check all safety and
alarm devise when contact instrumentation is fitted.

Fit-it Tests of spare rotors and mechanical running test.

Strip inspection of centrifugal compressor on completion of running tests. To

include examination of all running surface, checking of critical clearances, and
examination of lube oil filters in the tests as specified.

Witnessing centrifugal compressor performance test

Centrifugal compressor gearing, pinion forgings and main wheel forgings or

castings to be inspected at forge shop or foundry.

Any dynamic balancing of centrifugal compressor gearing rotors to be witnessed

by Vendor and certificates need to be submitted with data-dossier in final
documentation.

Fabricated gear cases to be inspected at subsupllier`s works.

Light or full load running tests, as specified to be witnessed on gearing.
