In an oil refinery, the lifecycle management of equipment covers all stages from procurement, installation, operation to maintenance and disposal. The temperature and pressure calibration laboratory plays a crucial role in this process.
During the equipment procurement phase, the calibration laboratory can, based on strict standards, conduct accuracy tests on newly purchased temperature and pressure measuring devices. Only devices that pass the inspection of the calibration laboratory can be put into use in the oil refinery, ensuring the accuracy of measuring equipment from the source.
During the equipment operation stage, regular calibration can monitor the performance changes of the equipment in real time. For example, over time, some temperature sensors in high - temperature environments may experience drift. Through regular calibration by the calibration laboratory, this performance degradation can be detected in a timely manner, and corresponding maintenance measures can be taken, such as replacing the sensor or adjusting parameters, to ensure that the equipment is always in the optimal operating state.
When the equipment enters the disposal stage, the historical data of the calibration laboratory can provide a reference for evaluating the residual value of the equipment. By analyzing the calibration data of the equipment throughout its entire service life, it is possible to judge the wear and tear degree and performance decline of the equipment, thus providing a basis for the rational disposal of scrapped equipment and maximizing the utilization of resources.
