Our Expert Personnel
At ATS, our trained, licensed, and certified personnel perform FFS and condition assessments, offering expert recommendations for any corrective action our clients’ equipment needs. Our team includes API inspectors, STI inspectors, and professional engineers who can provide cost-effective, solution-based, customized advice on approaching potential issues effectively. Using API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 fitness for service guidelines, we can help clients plan future shutdowns, inspections, and significant repairs while minimizing disruptions to their budget and timeline.
FFS Evaluations
A fit for service assessment can help to determine the ability for continued operation of fixed assets. FFS evaluations can identify cracking morphology, pitting patterns, and sources of corrosion. Our experts also look for other types of mechanical damage, determining if structural components such as pipes, pressure vessels, and tanks are safe for continued operation. By determining material structural limits, we can identify potential issues before they become major hazards. FFS assessments can help minimize unscheduled downtime, maximize inspection value, and identify necessary repairs.
