1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to lay guidelines and requirements and to

establish a method of the EQUIPMENT & INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION at
370 MW BASED COMBINED CYCLE POWER PROJECT AT UTRAN
CONSTRUCTED BY U.B.ENGINEERING LTD.

2.0 SCOPE

The scope covers the minimum requirements to ensure the proper

calibration procedure to identify the efficiency of equipment/instrument.
That helps to ensure Quality in the CONSTRUCTION OF 370MW GAS
BASED COMBINED CYCLE POWER PROJECT-UTRAN

5.0 METHOD

 PRECALIBRATION REQUIREMENT:
 Visually check for damage
 LIST OF EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED TO CALIBRATE:
 Manual welding m/c, Semi Automatic & Automatic welding machine
used used for GMAW, MMAW, GTAW, SAW & ESW welding.
 Calibrated shunt/Clamp Meter
 Calibrated Voltmeter
 Calibrated Stopwatch
 Calibrated measuring scale/tape.
 Variable DC Power Source.
 Calibrated mV Source/Sink meter.

5.1 PROCEDURE

Current Calibration

 Actual current (in the welding range) is measured with the help of Tong
Tester.
 Actual readings then compared with machine meter readings.

OR

 The m/c Ammeter may be calibrated separately by injecting mV.

 This difference in displayed & actual current corresponding to injected
mV is noted.

Voltage Calibration:

 The voltage of the welding machine may be calibrated under both

running and cold condition.
 In running condition, actual voltage displayed during welding by
machine is required to compare with calibrated voltmeter & deviations if
any are recorded.
 In cold condition the voltmeter shall be calibrated as per Calibrated
Work Instruction ALSTOM DOC. NO.: DQX7601-QMF06
 MACHINE SPEED CALIBRATION:
 The machine speed is first preset to a particular speed value. With the
help of calibrated stop watch & calibrated measuring scale, the actual
displacement of a point in a given time is required to note.
 Actual speed is calculated by dividing displacement by time & this
speed is compared to the preset speed value as displayed by
speedometer. The process is repeated at different speed settings.

5.2 ACCEPTANCE STANDARD:

REV A

 Permissible error that can be tolerated in the working zone shall be as

follows.
 For Ammeter : within ± 10%
 For Voltmeter : Within ± 2 volt
 For Speedometer: Within ± 1inch/min.

5.3 CALIBRATION FREQUENCY:

 The frequency of calibration should be as per DUE DATE mentioned in

Calibration Certificate.
 In case of DUE DATE not mentioned in Calibration Certificate it should
be of 1 Year.
 In case of any error/breakdown is suspected Calibration will be done
on the bases of whichever is earlier.

5.4 RECORDS/RETENTION PERIOD:

Records of Calibration shall be done as per ALSTOM approved formats & is

required to update as per due date of instrument. Every calibrated instrument
should have a sticker on it with Calibration Date, Due Date, Calibration
Reference no. & Sr. No.
