EEMUA Publication 168 Guide to pressure testing of equipment

Version: Digital/PDF

If you are a user from an EEMUA member company, please log in and download your complimentary digital edition here.  

EEMUA 168 Edition 3 provides guidance on if, when and how pressure testing can be carried out on pressure equipment and systems, based on risk assessment and a safe system of work. Significantly, the new edition introduces a competency framework for pressure testing personnel.

The guidance applies to the lifecycle of pressure equipment and systems, from manufacture, and throughout their operating lifetime. It is applicable to all types of non-transportable industrial pressure equipment and systems, including pressure vessels and pipework. Some alternatives to pressure testing are also considered, and when it may be appropriate to employ them.

The publication is aimed primarily at the operatives, supervisors and leaders managing and carrying out pressure testing at manufacturers’ works, repair shops and industrial sites. The guidance aims to ensure that these organisations are fully aware of the risks and can use competent and qualified staff as well as formulate safe systems of work, to reduce risks to as low as reasonably practicable. 

This publication was revised through a working group of engineers from EEMUA member companies and representatives from industry partners including the IMechE Pressure Systems Group (PSG) and the Pressure Vessels Manufacturers Forum (PVMF). 

An EEMUA e-learning module based on Edition 3 of EEMUA 168 has been produced. Registered website users can access the EEMUA Pressure Testing Lessons Learned Repository

EEMUA Publication 183 Digital image

2011, Edition 2

ISBN: 978 0 85931 183 0

EEMUA Publication 183 Prevention of tank bottom leakage - a guide for the design and repair of foundations and bottoms of vertical, cylindrical, steel storage tanks

Version: Digital/PDF

If you are a user from an EEMUA member company, please log in and download your complimentary digital edition here.  

Leakage from storage tanks may lead to extensive environmental pollution and be a financial loss to owners. This guide addresses the problem of tank leakage caused by loss of integrity. Such loss is almost always caused by deterioration of the tank bottom, which itself may be caused by corrosion or by deterioration of the foundation. This second edition is a comprehensive update that takes account of changes in standards, regulations and improvements in technology. EEMUA 183 gives guidance on a range of topics affecting tank bottom integrity including: design considerations for various types of tank foundations and bottoms; causes of tank bottom leakage; inspection records and techniques; corrosion protection; leak detection systems; and membranes as soil barriers.

EEMUA also offers introductory e-learning in the area of Storage Tanks in both Dutch and English language versions.

EEMUA Publication 184 - Guide to the isolation of pressure relieving devices

Version: Digital/PDF

If you are a user from an EEMUA member company, please log in and download your complimentary digital edition here.

In order to permit their removal and replacement without plant shutdown, pressure relieving devices may need to be isolated from the equipment they protect. However, the installation of isolating valves around protective devices is potentially hazardous as it introduces the risk of a system being left unprotected against over-pressure due to the relief path being inadvertently closed off. Existing standards offer little or no detailed guidance in this area.

EEMUA 184 plugs the gap by expanding on the guidance given in API RP 520 Part II and incorporating EEMUA Information Sheet 50 - The Importance of isolation management around relief systems. It outlines the case for using relief valves as a layer of protection, gives advice on managing safe isolation and stresses the importance of safe de-isolation after completion of relief system work. EEMUA 184 provides several examples in loss prevention history where the failure to adequately manage relief system isolations has been a major factor in causing process safety incidents.

It is essential to conform to local statutory legislation or regulations in relation to the use, and isolation of, relief devices. In some countries, conformance to certain standards and codes may be a mandatory requirement and specific standards, such as those pertaining to boilers, may specifically prohibit the installation of isolation devices.

EEMUA Publication 185 Guide for hot tapping on piping and other equipment         

Version: Digital/PDF

If you are a user from an EEMUA member company, please log in and download your complimentary digital edition here.

Hot tapping, the term used when a branch is connected to a live or 'hot' piping system, is potentially hazardous particularly where flammable or toxic fluids are present. This publication offers guidance on how to carry out a safe and successful operation when hot tapping into metallic piping systems containing process fluids or their residues. It covers overall planning of the operation and includes hazard assessment and control, the constraints imposed by the nature, temperature and pressure of the process fluids, welding, testing and cutting (drilling/trepanning).
