Breakout Period for Preservation of Static Equipment at Site

Subject: Seeking Opinion: Breakout Period for Static Equipment Preserved with Nitrogen

Hello everyone,

I’d like to get your opinions and insights regarding a situation we're facing with static equipment at the site. The equipment arrived well-preserved with nitrogen, but recently, the contractor released the nitrogen to connect a spool pipe.

Since commissioning is still far off, I'm concerned about the potential impact of prolonged exposure on the equipment. Specifically, I want to understand:

1. How long can the equipment remain unpreserved before it becomes a concern for quality or functionality?
2. Are there best practices for re-preserving the equipment if it must remain exposed for an extended period?

I appreciate any advice, references to standards, or examples from your experience.

Thanks in advance!
