INSTRUMENT IDENTIFICATION

4.1 The instrument identification described herein refers to the tagging supplied by the
instrument/device manufacturer and/or Supplier--that is, the tag that is permanently attached to
the instrument/device. Any tagging, naming, signing or other coding specific to the site installation
procedures is not included in this specification.

4.2 The basic standard for instrument identification shall be ISA S5.1.

4.3 Identification tags and symbols shown in the tables of the general specification, "Component
Identification", shall be used for all facilities

4.4 Instruments shall be identified with the following information on a nameplate permanently affixed
to the instrument/device (all instruments and control devices on all packages shall have project
assigned tag numbers):

assigned tag number.

b. Manufacturer's name, instrument model and serial number.

c. Pressure rating and materials.

d. Voltage, power, electrical class and approval agency.

4.5 Name plate/tag plate shall be sturdy stainless steel or equally weather/corrosion resistant
material. Method of fastening to the instrument shall be by 18 gauge monel tie-wire, stainless
steel cable fastened with stainless steel crush-clamps, or if mounted directly, stainless steel
screws or pins shall be used for attachment. Plate size shall be a minimum size of 12 x 50 mm
(1/2 x 2 in.). Lettering shall be 3 mm (1/8 in.) minimum height. Plate colour and finish shall be so
as to enhance the readability of the information.

4.6 Manufacturer standard tagging shall be acceptable if it meets the preceding criteria.

4.7 A separate tag bearing the tag number exclusively is acceptable.

4.8 Adhesive fastening of tag plates is unacceptable.

INSTRUMENT AIR

R3 5.1 All plant instruments shall be designed to function with a minimum instrument air supply pressure
of 415 kPa (60 psi). If direct connected without regulation, they shall be capable of withstanding
up to 865 kPa (125 psi).

5.2 All air supplies to all instruments and all accessories (including volume tank outlets) shall be
regulated to the required inlet pressure. In cases where the instrument or device operates on air
line pressure, the supply shall be filtered prior to entering the device.

5.3 All instruments and all accessories shall have dedicated block valves or method of isolation from
its air supply and shall have its own regulator and/or filter.

CORROSION RESISTANCE

6.1 All moving parts, such as linkages, bellows springs, coils, etc., shall be resistant to the corrosive
effects of low concentrations of H2S and mercaptians in the surrounding external environment.
Parts shall be made of stainless steel or other corrosion resistant alloy. Cadmium plating is not
acceptable for this purpose.

6.2 All parts exposed to the process fluid, such as Bourdon tubes, diaphragms, ball and tubular floats,
displacers and bellows shall be resistant to the corrosive properties of the specified fluid.

6.3 External displacer chambers for level instruments shall have as a minimum the same corrosion
allowance as that specified for process piping.

6.4 All instruments shall, as a minimum, be supplied/shipped in sealed, heavy plastic bags containing
desiccant material.

6.5 All plug-in printed circuit board contacting points shall be plated gold over nickel over copper

TUBE FITTING SPECIFICATIONS

7.1 The tube fitting shall produce a leak-proof seal in pressure or vacuum service.

7.2 The tube fitting shall be compression type and shall be of the same material as the tubing.

7.3 The tube fitting shall be easily installed with no special tools required, with exception of a make-up
gauge.

7.4 The tube fitting shall consist of four machined parts i.e. body, front ferrule, back ferrule and nut.
The design configuration of all components shall be such as to prevent surface to surface contact,
one part to another, keeping unit stresses below galling levels.

7.5 316 stainless steel tube fitting carbon content shall not exceed 0.05%.

7.6 Tube fitting shall not torque the tubing during original or subsequent make-up of the connection
and should use geometry rather than torque for make-up.

7.7 Tube fitting shall be capable of gap inspection gauges to be used for checking the gap between
the nut and body hex pad in order to verify a sufficiently made-up fitting so as to eliminate the

ferrules will overcome commercial variations in tubing wall thickness, hardness, diameter and
installer skill.*

used on tube fitting ends to achieve make-up. Teflon tape shall not be allowed.

7.12 Tube fitting manufacturers shall comply with the ISO 9002 standard.

STORAGE AND HANDLING

8.1 All reasonable care shall be taken in the storage and handling of instruments to ensure they are in
new condition when turned over to ESSO.

8.2 All instruments including flow metering runs shall be stored in a clean and dry location and shall
be protected against mechanical damage.

8.3 Any instruments which have pneumatic relays incorporated in them, or which have electric or
electronic components, shall be stored indoors and as follows
