Reciprocating Compressor Inspection Checklist
by Bob Norman, from the Community
This inspection checklist helps technicians assess reciprocating compressor packages used in oil and gas operations. It covers separator and sight glass installation, vibration considerations, and the removal of undesirable branch connections. Inspectors verify compressor cylinders and bottles, confirm deadweight connections are moved to panel, and ensure end devices are not used as steps or grab points. The form guides a complete review of process and fuel gas piping from inlet to sales, checking for redundant valving and non-approved modifications. Dedicated flex joint checks confirm condition, alignment, deflection within allowance, and correct ratings for media, temperature, and pressure.
