Initial Engineering Assessment Clause Samples

Initial Engineering Assessment. The Contractor shall review existing documentation to identify and determine the adequacy of the pressure system components with respect to the NASA requirements and current codes and standards. This includes review of maximum allowable working pressure and temperature, remaining life evaluation, etc. In most cases, simple code calculations or evaluations using commercial codes are adequate. However, in some cases a finite element analysis, and/or fatigue and fracture life assessment may be required. The Contractor shall have demonstrated capabilities to perform all type of engineering assessment; and in addition to the above calculations, shall provide relief valve sizing calculations and piping system flexibility analyses of piping systems, as required.
