XVIII. Replacement Parts Planning
The basic objectives in formulating a
replacement parts plan are:
• PROMPT AVAILABILITY
• MINIMUM DOWNTIME
• SENSIBLE COST
• SOURCE CONTROL
Guidelines for establishing meaningful inventory levels:
Parts Classification
Part
Classification
Replacement
Frequency
Predicted
Availability
CLASS I
Most Frequent
70 percent
CLASS II
Less Frequent But
Critical
85 percent
CLASS III
Seldom Replaced
95 percent
CLASS IV
Hardware
99 percent
CLASS V
Practically Never
Replaced
100 percent
Consult the Recommended Spare Parts
list to define the parts to be included in
the inventory plan.
Select parts and specify quantities.
A. Basic Guidelines
Explanation of Nameplate
The valve nameplate contains several necessary
pieces of information necessary to the proper
operation of the valve. Included are:
•
Valve Type
• ASME, and National Board of Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Inspectors Approval Stamp
•
Serial Number
•
Set Pressure or Opening Pressure
•
Disc Lift
•
Operating Temperature
• Capacity
The Consolidated 2700 Series Safety Valve nameplate
is located on the base of the valve, to the left of the
Adjusting Ring Pins. If the nameplate is missing, a
duplicate nameplate can be supplied by Baker Hughes.
To order the replacement nameplate, call the Baker
Hughes field service supervisor, with the valve serial
number as stamped on the top of the discharge flange of
the valve.
