Dear experts

 

I am currently working as equipment design engineer and purchasers send lots of documents for every single project or tender to be responded. I want to know if any one can refer me to some instructions on how to use these huge amount of received documents. I have listed some topics below:

PMS (Piping material spec)

Pressure vessel spec

Process Design Criteria

Specification for welding

:

:

For example recently I had to design a pressure vessel, which, by its design conditions, no impact test was obligatory. But when I checked the project's piping material spec, I noticed they have added impact test requirement for the vessel's inlet piping. Then I wondered if impact test was also necessary for my vessel or not!

 

Thanks in advance.

The purchaser wants the supplier to comply with their specifications. Specifications become part of the legal contract between purchaser and supplier. In the bidding phase, the supplier calculates the cost of compliance and includes that in their bid. If the bidder takes exception to a specification, this should be noted when the bid is submitted. 'Taking exception' may or may not disqualify a bidder... but it is taken into account during the purchaser's bid review process. After the terms of the purchase are finalized, the supplier is legally obligated to deliver to the agreed specifications.
