FFS (FITNESS FOR SERVICE) ASSESSMENTS
Our Fitness for Service (FFS) assessments are critical for evaluating the structural integrity and operational suitability of industrial equipment. FFS assessments involve a detailed analysis of materials, design parameters, operational conditions, and degradation mechanisms to determine whether an asset can safely continue in service. The evaluation identifies potential risks, recommends repair, replacement, or life-extension measures, and ensures compliance with industry codes and standards.
Amerapex supports clients by evaluating degraded equipment/components while in-service and empowering them with the technical information required to make decisions on repair, re-rating or decommissioning. Level I, II, and III quantitative engineering evaluations are performed as per API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Fitness-For-Service to demonstrate both the pressure retaining and/or structural integrity of in-service equipment components and structures that has a flaw or damage reported.
By conducting FFS assessments, Amerapex helps organizations prevent unexpected failures, optimize maintenance budgets, and make informed decisions that balance operational efficiency with safety and regulatory compliance. These assessments are especially valuable for aging infrastructure, critical equipment, and assets operating under high stress or corrosive conditions.
