Fitness For Service Analysis (FFS Assessments) - API 579-1/ASME FFS-1
Fitness for Service (FFS) is considered as the best practice and standard usually employed by the oil and gas industries for determining its condition for continued service. FFS acts as an analytical basis to define flaw acceptance limits and enables the industry experts to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable flaws and damage in accordance with the industry-recognized and widely accepted good engineering practices.
At TOPSCOPE, fitness for service assessments are usually measurable engineering appraisals that are conducted to demonstrate the structural integrity of an in-service component that may comprise a flaw or damage. Our FFS assessments are performed in compliance with international standards such as ASME B31G, BS 7910,
