P3-GIT Flange Face Inspection
Quick Verification Before Assembly & Preservation
P3-GIT is a lightweight, reusable inspection tool used to rapidly verify flange face condition and workmanship prior to bolting up, gasketing, hydrotest, shipment, or long-term preservation. ANUBX provides P3-GIT-based inspection as a practical QA step to reduce leaks, rework, and preservation failures.
What is P3-GIT?
P3-GIT (Gramophone Inspection Tool) is a flange inspection gauge designed to help technicians and QC teams quickly assess whether a flange meets practical acceptability for assembly. It supports fast screening of flange faces for common issues that can drive gasket leaks, including surface damage, irregularities, and workmanship deviations.
Why it Matters
Identifying damaged or unacceptable flange faces before assembly prevents gasket leaks
Catching issues early, before hydrotest, commissioning, or shipment saves time and costs
Verifying flange condition prior to sealing/protection installation ensures long-term asset integrity
Objective inspection outcomes across teams and sites ensure quality standards
Typical Use Cases
Pre-assembly verification before gasket installation and bolting
Pre-hydrotest inspection of critical joints and tie-ins
Receipt inspection of flanges after machining, refurbishment, or transport
Shutdown / mothballing preparation: verify faces before installing flange protection and sealing systems
Turnaround / maintenance quality checks to reduce repeat failures
What ANUBX Delivers
Flange face screening using P3-GIT on selected critical joints or 100% of flange list (as required)
Visual condition check and defect identification (nicks, gouges, dents, irregularities, foreign material)
Workmanship verification prior to assembly/preservation close-out
Pass/hold tagging with traceability to spool/flange ID
Inspection register (flange list with status: pass / hold / rework)
Photo documentation for nonconformities (where permitted)
Recommendations for corrective actions (cleaning, light dressing, re-machining, replacement)
Verification after rework and final close-out certificate (project-dependent)
Optional integration with PPP flange protection selection (adhesive / rigid / magnetic protectors)
Pre-sealing verification before installing preservation packs and end caps
Support for preservation method statements and QA checklists
