Fitness For Service

ABOUT FFS

At Hitard Engineering, we specialize in Fitness for Service (FFS) evaluations to determine industrial equipment’s structural integrity and safety.

Using advanced methodologies aligned with API 579 / ASME FFS-1 / PD 6493 / BS 7910, we assess pressure vessels, piping systems, and other critical components to help clients make informed decisions about repairs, continued operation, or de-rating equipment for extended use.

Equipment naturally deteriorates due to high temperatures, corrosion, and cyclic stresses. Occasional damage from impacts, extreme weather, or operational mishaps can compromise performance. Our FFS assessments range from straightforward analytical evaluations to advanced numerical simulations, ensuring accurate results for even the most complex challenges.

By identifying critical areas for inspection and providing actionable recommendations, we help clients optimize maintenance, reduce downtime, and extend the service life of their assets. Hitard Engineering combines industry expertise with cutting-edge tools to deliver reliable solutions tailored to your operational needs.
