Bulk Oxygen Site Survey Form

Instructions for use: This form is to be used for prospective or new (permanent or temporary) Messer bulk storage installations, major modifications/upgrades, and for customer or competitor owned equipment where Messer will supply product. For medical accounts: If Messer will supply product to existing equipment or an Audit Report is required, a Retrospective Validation form and PM Inspection form must be completed. For industrial accounts: If Messer will supply product to existing equipment, a First Fill Inspection form must be completed. This form may also be used for Nitrous Oxide sites. Note: This form uses safety distances found in CESCOM-ST-0001 & NFPA 55-2020.

Will a Low Temperature Shutoff/Alarm be Required? (N/A to Medical)
LT1: Does or will the customer have any carbon steel gas buffer vessels (e.g. gas mixers, stora e/buffer tanks connected to the bulk customer station?*
LT2: Does or will the customer have any process piping (e.g. carbon steel, thermoplastic, etc) or components (e.g. valves) that are not rated for cryogenic service?*
LT2A: Will the customer station utilize powered (electric, steam) vaporizers?*
LT2B: Will the customer station utilize switching (electric or manual) ambient vaporizers?*
LT2C: Will the customer station utilize non-switching ambient vaporizers and does the system have a PV>580 psig-in?*
LT2D: Will the customer station utilize non-switching ambient vaporizers and does the system have a PV<580 psig -in?*

Section Break

LT3: Will the customer station be used for inert gas blanketing or purging hazardous process or atmosphere (e.g. tank blanketing , controlled atmosphere furnace ?*
LT4: Will there be any other adverse safety conditions created due to interruption of gas supply caused b low temperature device activation reliability of gas supply to the customer ?*
LT5: If a LTCO already exists. is it set to close at a set point no lower than -20°F? If "No" contact CES Engineering.*
LT6: If a L TCO is required, was a trim heater discussed with the customer?*
LT7: Has the hazard assessment and installation of a low temperature shut down device been discussed/reviewed with the customer?*
LT8: Was a walk-through of the customer's piping/process performed during the low temperature hazard assessment?*
1. PV of the system is calculated by multiplying the maximum operating pressure (psig) by the downstream pipe internal diameter (inches). Example; Tank MAWP=250 psig, Largest downstream pipe diameter=2 inches; PV-=500 psig~in 2. LTCO: Systems that require LTCO should be equipped with a low temperature shut down device per CES standards that can be tested on an annual basis. 3. LTAP & Telemetry (optional): For stations that fall under this requirement, a low temperature alarm may be installed. The alarm should be connected to a station that is monitored by the customer and can be connected to Messer wired telemetry for additional monitoring. 4. Comments: Provide other explanation or details relative to the low temperature protection assessment.
