Bureau Veritas, the independent Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) bodies certified the Uni-Test Safety & Relief Valve Testing System from Unique Wellube FZC, a Unique Maritime Group company that provides integrated turnkey subsea and offshore solution providers.
Pressure Safety Valves (PSV) are the primary device used to prevent over-pressurization in any onshore or offshore installation. Therefore, it is paramount to ensure that the PSV will operate as designed. The Uni-Test system is used to verify the set pressures of the PSV and to ensure that it lifts when required, eliminating the need to remove the valves from the system. Uni-Test can be used for testing when the plant is operational or during shut down.
Bureau Veritas inspected the results of the set pressures of the PSV as obtained from the Uni-Test system and cross-verified the results. The certification was issued as the results generated by the system were found to be within ±1% of the valve’s actual set pressure. The industry standards for similar tests are within 2–3% of actual set pressures.
