Prove the ammonia system holds, one record for every site.

The plant engineer who signs the mechanical integrity program and the corporate team that answers for every site share one record, from a single US cold store under OSHA PSM to a global network working to EN 378 and ISO 22000.

Where it runs

Every receiver, machine room, and ammonia line keeps its inspection, its thickness trend, and its PSM proof on one record.

Where the record is won

The programs your reliability and food safety teams already own.

Ammonia mechanical integrity holds in the field and is proven in the file, an inspection done and documented, an interval tracked and current. intelliSPEC runs each program so nothing lapses unnoticed.

  1. 011 / 2

    IIAR 6 inspections, signed in the cold

    intelliINSPECT runs annual and five-year IIAR 6 checklists on machine rooms, vessels, and ammonia piping, captured offline at minus twenty and signed at the point of work.

    Thickness read through the frost

    intelliNDT logs UT readings on receivers, condensers, and iced ammonia lines, computes corrosion rate and remaining life, and flags corrosion under insulation before the pipe announces it.

  2. 022 / 2

    A calculation, not a debate

    intelliINTEGRITY screens thinning vessels and piping against API 579 fitness for service, so the call on a thirty-year-old receiver rests on a calculation with the readings attached.

    The PSM binder, retired

    intelliCOMPLY holds permits, LOTO, incidents, and closeout evidence against OSHA PSM 29 CFR 1910.119 and EPA RMP 40 CFR 68, exportable as one query when the auditor sits down.

One record, dock to audit

The record that survives an OSHA visit is built in the cold, on the day of the work.

One record, dock to audit

Follow one inspection from the freezer floor to the audit table.

  1. 01

    Capture at minus twenty

    The inspector walks the engine room and blast freezer with the IIAR 6 checklist on a tablet, no signal required. Photos of iced pipe, valve tags, and relief valve dates sync when the crew reaches the dock.

  2. 02

    The recompute

    New UT readings on the high-pressure receiver update corrosion rate and remaining life in intelliNDT, and intelliINTEGRITY rescreens the vessel against API 579 the same day, not next quarter.

  3. 03

    The proof

    When OSHA or an EPA RMP auditor asks for five years of mechanical integrity records, the answer is an export, every reading carrying user, timestamp, and signature.

Answers

Food & Beverage questions

01Does intelliSPEC support IIAR 6 inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements?

Yes. Annual and five-year IIAR 6 checklists for machine rooms, vessels, and ammonia piping run in intelliINSPECT, with each task, finding, and correction logged against the specific component and interval so a lapsed task surfaces before the auditor does.

02What software do food plants use for ammonia refrigeration PSM compliance?

Food and beverage plants above the 10,000 pound threshold run their OSHA PSM 29 CFR 1910.119 mechanical integrity program on intelliSPEC, with IIAR 6 inspections, thickness data, and corrective actions on one record instead of binders and spreadsheets.

03How do you find corrosion under insulation on ammonia piping?

Cold ammonia lines ice over and hide external corrosion, so intelliNDT tracks ultrasonic thickness at inspection points and trends the loss rate, flagging CUI suspect runs for stripping and repair before they leak.

04Does OSHA PSM apply to ammonia systems under 10,000 pounds?

PSM coverage starts at 10,000 pounds, but OSHA cites smaller systems under the general duty clause using IIAR standards as recognized practice. intelliSPEC runs the same IIAR 6 program either way, so charge size changes the paperwork, not the discipline.

05Does intelliSPEC cover EPA RMP requirements for anhydrous ammonia?

Yes. Inspections, incidents, permits, and closeout evidence are held with user, timestamp, and signature, so the mechanical integrity record an EPA RMP 40 CFR 68 audit needs exports as one query rather than weeks of assembly.

06Can it handle 3-A sanitary and ISO 22000 hygienic equipment inspections?

Yes. intelliINSPECT wizards capture weld, surface, and gasket condition on hygienic process assets against 3-A Sanitary Standards and ISO 22000, with sign-off recorded offline on the plant floor.

07Does it work offline in freezers and cold storage?

Yes. Inspections capture fully offline in blast freezers, engine rooms, and cold docks where there is no signal, then sync when the device reconnects. Plants outside the US run the same record against EN 378 and ISO 22000.
