FITNESS FOR SERVICE
Fitness for service definition:
Fitness-for-Service (FFS) (also referred to as Fitness-for-Purpose) is an assessment that is carried out using the best-practice industry standards(API 579, BS 7910,…) . The FFS assessment evaluates the structural integrity of an asset/component to determine whether the asset/component is suitable for its intended use. The Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessment provides a quantitative measure of structural integrity and is part of asset integrity management. The assessments are used to highlight the need for replacement or repair of assets/components.
Fitness for service benefits:
- Fitness-for-Service can be applied throughout many stages of an asset’s life including design, fabrication and operation
- It can be used for plant life management, including life extension programmes
- It reduces the requirement for unnecessary repair and replacement
- The assessment encourages a higher standard of safety and availability of equipment, including being able to determine equipment residual life
- The assessment combines previous knowledge and findings to optimise maintenance and inspection
The application of fitness for service:
The FFS assessment can apply for any pressurized equipment such as pressure vessels, piping, pipeline, storage tanks, boilers, heat exchangers, also any metallic structures such as offshore facilities or bridges.
