Just Take the Derate!

Fast. Safe. Effective…sometimes it’s easier to just take the De-rate and move on with your life.

I like the nice long inspection interval for internal inspections required per API 510. However, I’ve seen some pretty short inspection intervals for equipment trying to maintain original design pressures. If your original MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure) is much higher than your current operating pressure, JUST TAKE THE DE-RATE! 

Fast - All you need is a set of drawings and your latest inspection reports with thickness readings. Turnaround can help you provide the inspection and thickness readings.

Safe - Reducing the MAWP of your equipment greatly reduces the risk of your facility because it ensures that the pressure on the original stamp is never attempted. Turnaround can provide complete pressure vessel and heat exchanger calculations to derate your equipment. 

Effective - Reducing the MAWP of your equipment gets you back onto a normal inspection cycle. Turnaround EPC can help you plan your equipment inspection cycles to maximize uptime.
