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.
Industry
Ten thousand pounds of ammonia sits one wall away from the food. Prove the system holds.
For the plant engineer who signs the mechanical integrity program and the corporate team that answers for every site. One record runs from a single US cold store under OSHA PSM to a global network working to EN 378 and ISO 22000.

Sector record
Every PSM citation starts as a task nobody can find.
Ammonia mechanical integrity rarely fails in the field. It fails in the file, an inspection done but not documented, an interval lapsed and unnoticed. The platform runs the programs your reliability and food safety teams already own.

Thickness 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.
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 is a calculation, not a debate.
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
Follow one inspection from the freezer floor to the audit table.
The record that survives an OSHA visit is built in the cold, on the day of the work, not reconstructed the week before the audit.
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.
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.
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, not a week in the file room.
Proof path
The next audit date is already on the calendar.
Bring one plant's ammonia mechanical integrity file and we will map it to the record in a working session.
01
Runs IIAR 6 inspection, testing, and maintenance through intelliINSPECT, offline in the freezer and signed at the point of work.
02
Tracks CUI and thinning on ammonia piping and receivers with intelliNDT, screened against API 579 fitness for service in intelliINTEGRITY.
03
Holds OSHA PSM 1910.119 and EPA RMP 40 CFR 68 permits, LOTO, and incident evidence in intelliCOMPLY, exportable as one query.
Answers
Food & Beverage questions
Does 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.
What 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.
How 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.
Does 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.
Does 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.
Can 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.
Does 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.
