HELIOS BY EQUIPMENT / Pressure vessels
Follow one unfired, welded pressure vessel from agreed procurement requirements to an inspection record for one weld. The intended Helios workflow would keep the requirement, evidence and review decision connected.

V-101 / Unfired pressure vessel
Illustrative 3D model
Existing practices
This vessel contains fluid under pressure. Material certificates and weld inspection records may come from different teams. A missing report can slow the final review.
FROM THE STANDARD TO THE WORK
IOGP provides a shared procurement basis today. Helios would carry the requirements agreed for this order into the work, keeping each check connected to its source.
Confirm the applicable IOGP specification, base standard or design code, editions and project requirements.
Turn the agreed requirements into checks and supplier tasks, with an owner and a deadline. The project team approves the mapping.
Link the required record to the equipment or component. Keep missing, received and awaiting review distinct.
Keep the authorised review and unresolved issues with the evidence. Reassess affected checks if a requirement changes.
Common requirements can reduce repeated specification work. Earlier visibility of missing records could reduce late chasing.
Agreed checks and traceable evidence support qualified review. The record does not prove that equipment is safe for a particular service.
Owners and deadlines make the next action clear. Building the record during manufacture could reduce work left at handover.
Measure the result on one order: document-chasing hours, time to find the correct record, and unresolved review issues. No Helios savings are asserted here.
0:00 to 0:12 / Existing practices
This vessel contains fluid under pressure. Material certificates and weld inspection records may come from different teams. A missing report can slow the final review.
Illustrative fragmented workflow. Existing fabrication and inspection controls remain essential.
0:12 to 0:26 / IOGP today
IOGP S-619 covers unfired, fusion-welded pressure vessels within its scope. It works alongside the specified design code and the project's requirements.
The code and applicable editions are selected for the order. S-619 does not replace the design code.
0:26 to 0:38 / IOGP today
The order identifies the required fabrication checks, inspections and records. The team agrees what must be reviewed, by whom, and at which stage of the work.
Inspection extent and methods depend on the applicable requirements, material, service and design code.
0:38 to 0:52 / Intended Helios workflow
Helios would turn the agreed requirements into tasks and link the evidence to this vessel or its components. Each task would retain its source and responsible owner.
Intended workflow until verified. The project team would confirm the requirement mapping.
0:52 to 1:04 / Intended Helios workflow
This example order requires the report for weld W-17 before handover. Demo requirement V-12 would show the gap and ask the fabricator for the record.
Identifiers, report and deadline are illustrative order detail, not an IOGP clause or universal inspection requirement.
1:04 to 1:18 / Intended Helios workflow
The reviewer checks the correct weld and applicable requirements, then records the decision and unresolved issues. Receipt alone does not approve the vessel.
Record review is separate from equipment acceptance.
Record review is separate from equipment acceptance and required inspection responsibilities.
1:18 to 1:30 / Intended Helios workflow
V-101 would stay connected to its records and review history. Earlier visibility could reduce late chasing and help the next team find the evidence.
Measure the benefit in a pilot. No claim of automatic certification or guaranteed safety.
Illustrative unfired, fusion-welded carbon-steel process vessel, designed to the code specified by the purchaser and within S-619's stated material, pressure, temperature and thickness boundary conditions. TRS section 8 addresses non-destructive examination. V-12, weld W-17 and its particular report/deadline are illustrative order details. The script does not claim universal 100% examination, a specific technique or universal acceptance limits.
IOGP is the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers. Its JIP33 programme develops common purchasing specifications. Technical requirements, project choices, quality requirements and required information work with the purchase order. The responsible team determines applicability, inspection responsibilities and acceptance.
These references do not establish a live integration, complete standards coverage, IOGP certification or endorsement of Helios. Illustrations represent the equipment category and are not manufacturing drawings.
Compare the intended checklist with the approved order and inspection plan. Test a missing record, an incorrect equipment or component reference and a revised requirement. Confirm that unresolved holds remain visible and that receipt cannot substitute for review.
Check that every decision leads back to the correct source and revision. Validate access permissions and agreed handover fields. CFIHOS information mapping and use of the IOGP Material Digital Passport framework require separate verification.
The pilot would need to verify who attested each record and whether it changed. A traceable record does not establish that its underlying statement is true. Read about EventChain.
Bring the agreed requirements and a sample of its records. Define what needs to be checked and how to measure the result.
