SCOPE

This Project Specification, with the applicable documents referred to herein, defines the
minimum technical requirements for the design, manufacture and supply of packaged
equipment based on Vendor’s standard proprietary proven equipment.
This Project Specification shall form part of the detailed specification for each individual
equipment item/package. Supplier shall enforce its provisions on sub-Suppliers and sub-
sub-Suppliers and so on.

1.1 Precedence
In the event of a conflict of technical requirements within the material requisition and
applicable documents, the order of precedence shall be as stated in Project’s Basic
Engineering Design Data (BEDD).
Where the material requisition references other Project Standards, Specifications and
Standard Drawings, these shall take precedence over this standard.

1.2 Deviations
Supplier shall comply in full with the specifications and standards. Permission to deviate
may be requested (using the concession request procedure after order). Purchaser’s
permission to deviate is only valid if given in writing.
Compliance by Supplier with the provisions of the specifications and standards does not
relieve them of their responsibility to furnish equipment and accessories of a proper
design to meet the specified service conditions, and/or local codes and/or standards
including those relating to environment, health and safety.
Subsequent to acceptance of a purchase order, any requests for deviations shall be
routed through the Purchaser’s official `concession request procedure'. Purchaser is not
obliged to accept any concession request as a whole or in part.

1.3 Language
All written material and communications shall be in the English language.

1.4 Units of Measurement

1.4.1 Units used throughout shall be as defined in Project’s Basic Engineering Design Data
(BEDD) document. Any units, which are not listed in the BEDD but are found necessary,
shall be consistent with those given.
1.4.2 Where detailed design is normally carried out using units different from those stated in
the BEDD, unit conversion shall take place after the calculation and drawing work is
complete and shall be incorporated in the documents issued to Purchaser.

APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

2.1 The material requisition includes and/or states a number of Project Specifications,
National and International Standards and the like. Supplier shall refer to these and shall

Purchaser’s acceptance. In the absence of such a schedule Supplier will be deemed fully
compliant.
2.2 No exception may be taken to legislation applicable at site or in the country of origin.
2.3 Codes and standards applied shall be those current at the date of order. Superseded or
withdrawn standards or editions shall not be used without Purchaser’s prior written
agreement.
2.4 For all aspects where the material requisition or legislation applicable at site does not
require any particular standard of design or execution, full compliance with appropriate
internationally recognized standards is required. Generally acceptable standards include
BS, ASME, API, DIN, ISO, JIS, IEC, ADM, AISC. This is not a comprehensive list and
Supplier may propose others for Purchaser’s consideration. Purchaser may reject
Supplier’s proposed standards and may call for compliance with another.

16.5 Supplier shall include any special lifting devices, spreader beams, etc. required for
installation and maintenance.
16.6 Any lifting/handling gear supplied with equipment shall be proof load tested as specified
in the relevant local code(s) of Country of site, Country of dispatch and if to be handled
en route the Country en route. A test certificate endorsed by an acceptable Independent
Inspection Authority shall be supplied in the Production Data Book/Manufacturing Data
Book.
16.7 Safe working load (SWL) shall be clearly indicated, e.g. by attachment of a stamped
plate.
16.8 Supplier shall submit lifting procedures for all lifts 15 tonne or above involved in
shipping/transport, erection, assembly or maintenance for Purchaser’s review.
16.9 Single point lifts for all equipment and skids are required unless specifically agreed with
Purchaser. Supplier shall provide dedicated lifting lugs for each item or assembly which
is to be lifted as a whole.
16.10 Equipment and major parts shall be furnished with lifting points and these shall be
indicated on the drawings and on the equipment.
16.11 The position of the centre of gravity on large (greater than 0.5 tonne) parts shall also be
indicated on the drawings.

CONSTRUCTION TEMPLATES

17.1 For large or complex equipment foundations (or other critical supporting/mating faces)
Supplier shall provide drilling templates as an early delivery item.
17.2 Templates shall be marked with ‘Plant North’ arrow and top face shall be identified. For
templates in non-horizontal orientations markings shall give unambiguous information so
that the template will not be used the wrong way round, upside down or out of alignment.
17.3 Templates shall be of 6mm minimum mild steel and shall be precisely matched to the
component connection which they represent, for instance by drilling bolt holes from the
template or by drilling the template from the connection.
17.4 For connections which cannot be used to generate an early supplied template, two
templates (identical) shall be made, one shipped to site and the other retained in the shop
and used to generate the subject connection.

LUBRICATION AND CONSUMABLES

18.1 Supplier shall complete and return copies of the lubrication schedule, giving the grades,
application frequencies and quantities of all lubricants required for the equipment within
their supply. The lubrication schedule shall be returned to Purchaser within the period
indicated in the drawing and document submittal schedule which forms part of the
material requisition.
18.2 Where a single lubricant grade is unsuitable for the complete operating/ambient
temperature range Supplier shall specify a minimum number of grades needed to cover
the temperature range.
18.3 Where components are supplied with lubricant ‘sealed for life’ Supplier shall include these
components on the lubrication schedule but state ‘sealed for life’. The anticipated life of
the component e.g. bearing life shall also be stated.
18.4 Re-lubrication points in guarded areas (if any) shall be extended for access without
necessitating guard removal.
18.5 Where equipment would quickly fail if run without active lubricant feed a pressure or flow
transmitter shall trip the equipment. Start-up of the stand-by lubrication facility shall not
depend on the same transmitter. An alarm shall also be given for low lubricant level,
pressure and/or high lubricant temperature.
18.6 All oil filled casings, machine sumps, bearing housings, seal or hydraulic fluid or other
working reservoirs and the like shall be fitted with sight glass or dip stick, or other means
of checking the lubricant level, and shall be fitted with rain proof breathers and dust
protection filters.
18.7 Unless otherwise instructed by Purchaser, Supplier shall provide the first fill of all
lubricants (except where centralised oil-mist lubrication has been adopted) and of all
consumables. Note that consumables include calibration and carrier gases and solutions
for analysers, for example.
18.8 Any oil or seal fluid piping or tubing shall be of stainless steel, chemically cleaned and
passivated, unless otherwise specified.
