Work scope & measurement context (optional record fields)
References only. This site supplies no acceptance values, test settings, intervals or release instructions. Selecting a scope does not authorize work. Use Remarks for row-specific context; refer to original files, which are not uploaded here.
Draft · technical review pending. Recording prompts only; not procedures or acceptance criteria. Work and access require your approved plan. No normal ranges, pass/fail values, test settings or maintenance intervals are supplied. Condition results are user-entered judgements under separately approved criteria. Evidence/task/measurement OK means the specified record is complete, not healthy equipment. This checklist does not authorize release to service. Unit selection does not convert values.
Research context & source scope
- USBR FIST technical library — Hydropower maintenance reference library; check edition and installation applicability.
These links do not validate every checkpoint. Technical approval pending; identify the exact applicable manual and work plan.
How to read this form
- As-found observation
- Describe what was observed. OK / Not OK are unavailable.
- Condition
- OK = User assessment under the referenced approved criteria.
- Measurement record
- OK = Required measurement record and context are complete.
- Evidence check
- OK = Required reference or evidence is verified.
- Task record
- OK = The specified recording task is complete.
- Blank / Pending / N/A
- Blank is unclassified. Pending identifies missing checks, evidence or criteria. N/A needs a reason in Remarks.
No row or completed form certifies safety, compliance or fitness for service.
Engineer/date/signature spaces remain for handwriting. Multiple records can be saved locally in this browser and exported; no cloud backup, file attachments or team approval is provided. Older template records stay separate and are not reinterpreted. Keep sensitive information off shared devices.
Compare with an earlier saved inspection
Enter the same Equipment ID, Site and installed-asset identity / serial reference. Only the same template revision is compared. Context and units are shown without conversion or condition verdicts.
