Surface Condenser Inspection and Test Plan

This article provides you with a sample surface condenser inspection and test plan. This is a draft surface condenser ITP and must be modified based on your purchase order requirements. You may also review Shell and Tube Heat exchanger ITP article for more information. There is a draft ITP that you can download and use with this ITP to generate your own surface condenser ITP.

Surface Condenser Inspection and Test Plan Points

H: Hold Point implies that relevant production activities shall not proceed until the continuation of work is permitted by Purchaser. (Notification req'd)

W: Witness point implies that Purchaser intends to witness the designated inspection feature. If Purchaser decides not to witness the relevant feature, production can proceed without permission of Purchaser. (Notification req'd)

S: Witness, but spot check basis. Initial operation will be witness point and subsequent operation will be witnessed at discretion of Purchaser

considering the results of previous inspection. (Random Inspection : Notification not required)

R: Review inspection & test records (Notification not req'd)

General Note for Surface Condenser ITP:

1) Surface Condenser Witness/hold point by Code Inspector, when applied by Code Stamp/Local Regulation, is to comply with its requirements and to specify in Vendor's ITP.

2) Type of Inspection by Surface Condenser Purchaser may be changed according to equipment criticality and vendor QC evaluation at job stage.

3) When requested in the requisition, detailed Surface Condenser ITP shall be submitted by Vendor.

4) Monitoring/Observation of Surface Condenser Vendor shop daily routine works (i.e. Storage of materials & welding consumables, Adherence to approved procedures, Testing tool calibration check, Welder/NDE Operator performance & qualification, workmanship, cleanliness and etc.) shall be done by Purchaser during inspection visit.

5)Final Surface Condenser Visual Inspection/Documentation Review/Pre-Shipment Inspection may be combined within one time visit.
