Standard 6-Step Fixed CO2 Fire Suppression System Survey Protocol
Our Class-approved technicians execute this standardized procedural workflow to ensure first-time compliance with attending Class surveyors and Indian Port State Control (PSC) inspectors:
-
CO2 Room Safety & Ventilation Verification
Verify mechanical exhaust ventilation, emergency escape lighting, and ensure master control valves are safely locked.
-
Ultrasonic Liquid Level CO2 Cylinder Gauging
Measure exact CO2 liquid level across all high-pressure cylinders using calibrated ultrasonic gauge to confirm <5% weight loss.
-
Pilot Cylinder Pressure & Release Cable Inspection
Check pilot nitrogen cylinder pressure gauges; inspect manual release pull-cables, pulleys, and pneumatic pilot loops.
-
Distribution Pipework Air Blow-Through Test
Disconnect cylinder discharge hoses; blow dry compressed air through main distribution manifolds to clear nozzles of scale and paint.
-
Engine Room Fan & Fuel Quick-Closing Valve Interlock Trip
Test micro-switches inside release cabinets to verify automatic shutdown of engine room ventilation fans and fuel shutoff valves.
-
Class Survey Certification & Security Tagging
Affix tamper-evident inspection tags to cylinder valves, seal control cabinet, and issue Class-approved Certificate of Inspection.
