Utility Verification

Rationale – To verify that all necessary utilities are correctly installed.

Procedure –

Confirm that utility connections are configured as per specification and in compliance with local codes.

  • Record the results in the table below. Note any deviations or discrepancies.
  • Acceptance Criteria – All services and connections must be installed and documented.
  • Utility Specification Results
  • Potable Water

Material of Construction Verification

Rationale – To verify that all assembly of the Gelatine Storage Vessel has been manufactured as per the specification provided by the customer based on the MOC certificates supplied by the vendor/moly testing unit.

Test equipment – Moly testing unit (To identify AISI 304 and AISI 316 L materials)

Procedure:

Put a drop of Molybdenum solution on the material to be tested.

Take the battery & keep the anode at one end of the material and the cathode at the Moly drop.

If the solution turns pink and stays for around one minute, then it is AISI 316 L & if the solution turns pink and immediately vanishes, then it is AISI 304.

Acceptance Criteria – All material of construction for the Gelatine Storage Vessel shall meet the MOC provided in the Design Qualification.
