facilities shall prevent automatic reset but allow local manual reset of individual valves on restoration
of electrical power (i.e. reset of electrical logic), and local shutdown.
Steel bodies with stainless steel trim shall be used for all pressure relieving devices unless piping
specification requires alloy construction.
Rupture Disc may be used in lieu of or in combination with safety and relief valves.

Type : SPC
Combination of rupture disc and pressure safety valve shall be used for slurry or highly corrosive
services.
Rupture discs shall be provided with bursting alarm device .Combination of rupture disc and relief
valves shall include a pressure switch installed between disc and valve to alarm a leakage or burst.
16. ANALYZERS
Process analyzers requiring sampling will be supplied pre-assembled with their own sampling and
conditioning systems in open ladder type racks. Analyzer racks will be installed in analyzer houses.
These possible analyzers will be of the on-line type.
When necessary analyzers will be provided with a fast loop system sample purge gas and analyzer
vent gas will be properly vented to a safe area.
When applicable analyzer transmitters shall be of the “smart” type with accuracy better than 0.2%
and have a 4-20 mA output to DCS.
All materials used shall be suitable for the sample stream and the surrounding atmosphere; AISI
304 / 316 shall be selected as minimum.
Whenever practical sample shall be returned to the process, other methods of disposal shall ensure
safety and pollution restrictions.
Field mounted analyzers shall be used for simple analyzers such as Conductivity, PH, density, etc.
Analyzers shall be in general installed in analyzer house that shall be weather proof, with air
conditioning.
Sample Pressure reducers, conditioners, fast loops, and calibration gas cylinders shall be installed
outside analyzer house.
Further detailed data and application for each type of analyzer will be provided when specifying the
analyzers.
