Review the rest of the mechanical integrity program to ensure all critical equipment, piping, and pumps have acceptable integrity and an established inspection program with guidelines for repair. Include inspection and repair of fireproof insulation in the program. (By March 2002)... 

There are other equivalent tests which can show that the vessel is mechanically strong. For pumps, integrity data would involve the frequency of seal repairs, bearing repairs, nature and intensity of vibration, plugging, and corrosion problems. With the mechanical integrity tests, other data is recorded, such as records of inspections and tests, maintenance procedures, establishment of criteria for acceptable test results, and documentation of inspection results. Preventive maintenance (PM) programs are a big part of the PSM. 

This method utili2BS a fiilly automated developmg chamber that consists of a sensor to optically detect the solvent fiont position, a mechanism to lift the plate out of the developing chamber, multiple solvent reservoirs, a solvent pump, and an integrated fen to dry the plate and remove solvent vapor. Modem systems contain microprocessor-controlled programming to vary solvent composition after each run. Multiple development dramatically increases separation power, improves reproducibility and precision, and can be set up to run without continuous supervisioa This apparatus can also be used in conjunction wife a TLC plate scanner feat will detect UV-active bands. This can be interfaced wife a PC and linked to a printer for hard copy. An excellent example of an AMD device is fee CAMAG AMD system (Merck).
