VYRCOWho it is for and what is included
Process, mold and maintenance technicians.
Level: Intermediate. Includes instructions, recording fields, a fictional example and reference sources.
How to use it
- Assign an ID to each circuit and record inlets, outlets and an existing authorized diagram. Do not disconnect lines to complete the map.
- Define the comparison and its documented conditions. Identify mold, machine, fluid, process state and the source of the reference.
- Record instrument locations and identities. Copy available flow, temperature and pressure readings with units, times and reading conditions.
- Compare only data with sufficient context. Mark changes in circuit, measurement point, fluid or operating phase; retain original readings.
- Link differences to observations, evidence and pending review. Tests or interventions need their specific procedure and authorization.
Fictional example
FICTIONAL: circuit DEMO-C2, diagram revision B. Record A: 5.0 L/min; record B: 4.6 L/min. Both identify instrument F2, but B was taken during startup and A during documented production. The comparison is marked conditional; no blockage is declared and no cleaning is prescribed.
Scope and limitations
Not a connection, cleaning, pressurization or purging procedure. Defines no acceptable values and does not establish the cause of a difference by itself.
