FHA Inspection

Asset integrity: Flexible Hose Assemblies (FHA)

Challenge: During routine inspection of Small Bore Tubing assemblies by AFS Technologies asset integrity team it was noted that there was a higher than usual incidence of crevice corrosion under tube clamps.

 

Approach: We carried out an investigation into samples of the pitted tubing, determined the root cause and provided the operator with a range of remedial options.

 

Result: AFS Technologies installation team were contracted to replace all of the existing tubing and fittings with an alternative material and special tube clamps. The project was delivered within a tight timescale with more than 20 technicians mobilised to the offshore location.

​​With our unique offering of field services, consultancy, training and assembly products, we offer a solution that is independent of any of the fluid connector manufacturers.
Having inspected over 1 million components since we started over 30 years ago we have some eye-opening statistics for you.

An asset such as a production platform or FPSO has on average >15,000 components.

  • On average we find a fault rate of over >40% on initial inspection

  • Of those faults >80% are under-tight fittings

  • On average we find 1 hydrocarbon leak per inspection trip

All those under-tight fittings and hydrocarbon leaks have huge potential for something more catastrophic.
A major operator in UKCS had a SBT release recently which led to several days shutdown until a repair could be completed.
We provide periodic inspection with trained inspectors using our Risk Based Inspection software Integrale ™
