Project to Asset Handover

A: This leads to latent construction defects surviving into operation because paperwork substitutes for physical verification. This contaminates cleaned systems and masks missing items once fluids are introduced. This prevents construction-induced failure modes from propagating because the physical installation is confirmed before any energy or fluids are applied. This risks personnel safety and can invalidate MC if items are disturbed after energization.

A: This would usually trend with temperature and stabilize hot rather than spike immediately. This doesn't explain sensitivity to piping load changes observed during bolt-up. This matches the jump in vibration after connecting piping and explains why cold alignment data looked acceptable. This would show characteristic noise and suction pressure correlation that wasn't observed.

A: This misses the fact that MAWP is already defined at temperature and doesn't need reinterpretation. This inflates test pressure unnecessarily and risks overstressing components. This introduces a non-code safety factor that can damage gaskets and instruments. This aligns with ASME B31.3 intent and avoids plastic deformation while still proving integrity.

A: This shifts responsibility but doesn't address failure physics. This is incorrect since online particle counting is common practice. This prevents infant-mortality bearing and valve damage that can't be undone once wear starts. This misreads the standard and ignores why cleanliness is controlled.
