Control system vendor.
15.27.2 The procedure outlined in Section 3.4 Part II of 6-52-0055 (testing, installation,
commissioning and acceptance of DCS system) shall be followed for loop checking.
However the division of scope of work related to loop checking between various sub
contractors shall be decided by contractor.
15.27.3 Before proceeding for loop checking the calibration results of individual elements shall
be recorded on the contractor supplied proforma which shall be approved by EIL/

15.27.4 For calibration of special instruments and loop checking and for loop checking of sub
vendor packages contractor shall do necessary coordination with sub supplied. The
contractor shall carryout the necessary loop checking to the satisfaction of
Purchaser/purchaser's representative which shall be part of contractor’s scope of work.
a) For special instruments like analysers the contractor shall ensure the presence
of supplier’s, technical personnel during field testing/ loop checking and during
commissioning to assist above activities.
b) Loop testing for all control loops shall be generally by simulating process
conditions for atleast 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% & 100% full scale inputs. Detailed
procedure shall be submitted to Purchaser/purchaser's representative for
approval before proceeding with loop checking.
c) In case of shut down systems, field/receiver switches are simulated for
abnormality by disconnecting the wires at terminals. Function of all associated

systems are checked including performance of solenoid valves, on/off control/
shut down valves including proper functioning of limit switches and other
accessories. Adjustments of limit switches wherever necessary also from part
of checking of loop performance.
d) Performance of individual loops shall be accepted for an overall accuracy of +
1.0%. Where deviation is found to exist more than specified limit bidden shall
re calibrate the instruments which shall also form part of loop testing at no extra
cost, time implications.
e) Contractor shall complete all the entries in the loop sheet related to field
instrumentation as well as the control system side with acceptance of loops and
hand over the sheets to EIL/ owner for final acceptance
16.0 COMMISSIONING
16.1 This activity shall be carried out in a systematic manner so as to avoid any accident to
plant and operating personnel.
16.2 During the plant start up all the instruments calibration, controller alignment, trip point
settings shall be trimmed so as to meet the operation requirements.
16.3 Prior to guarantee run of any unit, the vital instruments as required by vendor have to
be recalibrated and the results recorded.
16.4 As built drawings shall be prepared after installation and commissioning is over.
