FOREWORD
The Oil Industry in India is nearly 100 years old. Because of
various collaboration agreements, a variety of international codes,
standards and practices have been in vogue. Standardisation in
design philosophies and operating and maintenance practices at a
national level was hardly in existence. This, coupled with feed back
from some serious accidents that occurred in the recent past in India
and abroad, emphasized the need for the industry to review the
existing state of art in designing, operating and maintaining oil and
gas installation particularly using sophisticated instrumentation.
With this in view, the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, in
1986, constituted a Safety Council assisted by Oil Industry Safety
Directorate (OISD), staffed from within the industry, in formulating
and implementing a series of self regulatory measures aimed at
removing obsolescence, standardising and upgrading the existing
standards to ensure safe operations. Accordingly, OISD constituted
a number of Functional Committees of experts nominated from the
industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various subjects.
The present document on Maintenance & Inspection of
Safety Instrumentation in Hydrocarbon Industry is prepared by the
Functional Committee on Process Instrumentation Maintenance
and Inspection. This standard is based on the accumulated
knowledge and experience of Industry members and the various
national and international codes and practices. It is hoped that
provisions of this document, when adopted, may go a long way to
improve the safety and reduce accidents in Oil and Gas Industry.
Users of this standard are cautioned that no standard can be a
substitute for a responsible, qualified Instrumentation Engineer.
Suggestions are invited from the users after it is put into practice to
improve the document further.
This standard in no way supercedes the statutory regulations
of Chief Controller of Explosives (CCE), Factory Inspectorate or any
other statutory body which must be followed as applicable.
Suggestions for amendments to this document should be
addressed to:

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SAFETY

INSTRUMENTATION IN HYDROCARBON INDUSTRY
1.0 INTRODUCTION
With the growth of oil & gas industry day by
day, more and more complex process
operations are required to be performed
efficiently & economically. these factors add to
it an inbuilt potential hazard to safety. In the
earlier standard OISD-152 on Safety
Instrumentation for Process Systems in
Hydrocarbon Industry prepared by this
Committee, minimum required level of safety
instrumentation for various equipment were
dealt with in detail.
Once all necessary safety features are
provided to meet the plant and personnel
requirements during the plant design and
detailed engineering through comprehensive
automatic interlocks based on instrumentation,
next important step is to keep them in proper
working condition by continuous efforts which
requires periodic checks & inspection.,
Particularly certain Trips and Alarms, though
may not operate for years together, one has
to take pain to keep them fit at every moment
for any eventuality that may come even once in
lifetime.
Successful functioning of safety
system can save hundreds of lives & crores of
rupees of property.
Hence, this standard is prepared to spell out
minimum requirement with respect to
inspection
&
maintenance
of
safety
instrumentation, which will keep it ready in
proper working condition. This is not intended
to apply to the process control instrumentation.
2.0 SCOPE
This standard covers safety instrumentation
with pneumatic, electrical & electronic/
microprocessor system used in oil & gas
installations.
It gives pre-commissioning checks to assist
the owner to review the completion of
erection/installation work in a project. It also
broadly covers the inspection checks &
procedures with schedules to be followed for
these instrumentations in an operating plant.
For various Alarms and Trip system, it gives
maintenance check lists with recommended
frequencies for ensuring proper functioning. it
also covers the test equipment used in
workshops and fields, required for the
calibration of these instruments.

At the end, general guidelines needed for

imparting training to maintenance and
operating staff is also covered.
