Fitness for Service FFS
Our integrity specialists are 15+ years of relevant experience, API certified, corrosion and mechanical damage certified, providing FFS as per API RP 579-1/ASME FFS-1 for the last 10 years to most of the local Clients and GCC Clients.
Our designers are mechanical engineers with 20+ years of relevant experience.
Fitness for Service (FFS) is a best practice and standard used by the oil & gas and chemical process industries for in-service equipment to determine its fitness for continued service. FFS serves as a rational basis for defining flaw acceptance limits and allows engineers to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable flaws and damage based on industry.
We perform assessments on pressure vessels, slug catchers, storage tanks, pipelines, piping system and high-temperature equipment in accordance with industry-accepted standards.
Most equipment can continue in service despite small flaws, and to repair or replace equipment that can still be used would be an unnecessary and costly expense. In addition, unnecessary weld repairs can do more harm than good and create unnecessary risks to personnel in many cases.
This capability allows us to take on and solve problems where non-standard geometry, unusual loading, or exotic materials mean that standard FFS approaches are unsuitable.
