Spartan Controls has announced the official launch of its new Advanced Steam Testing Services that will assist companies in complying with the Alberta Boiler Safety Association (ABSA) AB-524 regulations.
The Advanced Steam Test service provides differentiated ABSA compliant steam testing for PSVs as new assemblies, repair and re-certification. The two test stands, measuring 10” and 4”, have the ability to test relief valves up to 3000.
The ABSA has accepted the use of air as a test medium with a manufacturers supplied correction factor for steam process media applications. The regulation was changed to align with other North American regulatory bodies. It is now mandated that any Pressure Relief Device in steam service must be set and certified using steam as a test media, making this new addition to Spartan’s full breadth of services essential.
The reliability of PSV’s in the field is extremely important and is essential to protecting plant assets, people and the environment. PSVs are required to be certified when entering the field, when a plant upset occurs and in regular maintenance intervals.
