TRACEABILITY REQUIREMENTS

The Contractors fabrication procedures shall ensure that correct materials are used during fabrication and these shall be submitted to the Superintendent for approval. Note: Periodic audits may be carried out by the Superintendent to ensure compliance.

4.4

STORAGE

The Contractor shall be responsible for material and equipment received from the Superintendent or warehouse stocks until the same is installed. Where Superintendent supplied materials are delivered to the Contractor with documentation such as mill certificates, these shall be incorporated into the Contractors quality records. Materials received from the warehouse or Superintendent, are to be stored off the ground on temporary racks or docks to prevent any deterioration until fabricated. Pipes, fittings, valves and speciality items shall be suitably blanked to protect the ends from damage and to prevent entry of foreign material.

Fabrication and Installation of Piping ES-14-602-01

Stainless steel material shall be segregated from other piping materials during all stages of machining and fabrication to prevent surface contamination with carbon steel leading to localised corrosion. Cutting of pipes shall preferably be done by mechanical means. Flame cutting is acceptable within the limits as listed below: a. For carbon steel, flame (or arc) cutting and bevelling is acceptable only if the cut is reasonably smooth and true and all oxides are removed from the flame-cut surface by grinding. For alloy steel, flame-cut bevels are acceptable only where machine cutting is not feasible. After flame cutting approximately 2mm of material must be removed from the surface of the bevel by grinding. Bevelling by mechanical means (ie. shearing) requires work hardened areas to be removed as in b. above. Stainless steel and non-ferrous metals shall be prepared by machining, grinding or plasma arc cutting and grinding.

b.

c. d.

Grinding of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals shall be done with a non-carbonaceous, iron free non sulphur bonded grinding wheel. Chipping, filing, cutting with hacksaws or wire brushing using carbon steel brushes is not permitted on stainless steel. Burrs and other objectionable defects shall be removed by reaming, machining or grinding. All cuts shall be made at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the pipe. All pipe ends shall be remade to the full bore of the pipe. All cuts shall be carefully bevelled and accurately matched to form a suitable groove for welding and to permit complete penetration of the welds at all points. Reference is to be made to the relevant section of the Code. Defective or damaged weld ends shall be examined in order to determine the nature and extent of damage. Any bevelled edge of pipe that has been damaged shall be machined to minimum tolerances. All bevels shall be cleaned to bright metal finish. Repairs shall not be made on weld preparation of pipes or fittings without written permission from the Superintendent. Repairs to weld preparations shall only be carried out using repair procedures which have been reviewed and approved by the Superintendent. Repair procedures must be submitted in writing for the Superintendents review and approval.

Stainless steel wire brushes shall not be used for carbon steels. 4.6.3 Fillet Welds

Pipes for insertion in slip-on flanges and for socket-weld joints shall be cut square, to within the tolerances specified in ANSI/ASME B16.11. Prior to welding of socket connections, the pipe shall be backed off 1.5mm from the seat of the socket. Socket welds and the external welds of field welded slip-on-flanges shall always be carried out using a minimum of two passes with staggered stops and starts. Shop welded slip on flanges may require two passes on the external weld, depending on the welding process, to ensure good root fusion.

Welding shall not be carried out when the surfaces to be welded are wet from any cause. Galvanised flanges, supports, clips and the like shall not be welded to or come into direct contact with stainless steel. All valves, piping speciality items, equipment and instruments which may be damaged by the heat of welding shall be protected by dismantling and be re-assembled upon completion of welding and heat treatment. All sections of tacked or welded pipe shall be sealed prior to installation to prevent foreign matter from entering such sections. A qualified welder using the qualified welding procedure, which will be utilised for full welding of the joint, shall make tack welds. Temporary tack welds shall not touch the root gap or root face and shall not be part of a final joint weld up. Line-up clamps shall not be removed until the root pass has been completed. There shall be no field-welded attachments to stainless steel or alloy piping or to any vessels without Superintendents approval and an approved welding procedure as described. c. Cold spring is permitted only if it is shown on piping isometrics. If shown on piping isometrics, this operation shall be withheld until the entire line between anchors has been connected together in all directions up to the last closing length of pipe at the anchor and all guides and supports are in place. The cold spring shall be pulled at one anchor with the pipe firmly secured at the anchor on the opposite side of the section to the cold spring. Cold springing is not permitted at rotating equipment nozzles. Anchors/welded attachments on pipes shall be in accordance with Standard Pipe Support Details and the respective piping isometrics.

The completed weld and adjacent pipe shall be cleaned of all oxide, slag and spatter to allow proper application of protective coating. The entire root bead shall be made with the pipe in a stationary position. Movement of the pipe during manual welding of the root beads shall be kept to an absolute minimum. Welding shall be a continuous operation. Welding should not be discontinued before the root run and the next two successive passes are complete. If welding has to be interrupted the welds area shall be covered to permit slow cooling. Before resumption of welding on a weld cooled to ambient temperature the area shall be inspected visually for the presence of cracks. The welds shall be subjected to magnetic particle or dye penetrant examination to determine acceptability. Cracks shall be completely removed prior to any further welding. All welding necessary for in-place assembly and erection shall be in accordance with applicable paragraphs of this Standard.

All valves, piping specialties, equipment and instruments, which may be damaged by the heat from heat treatment, shall be protected by dismantling and be re-assembled upon completion of heat treatment. Valve bodies (2 or 3 piece ball valves) or bonnets to be removed shall be match-marked prior to disassembly to ensure that they are reassembled back into the same location and orientation. Seats shall be gently lapped where necessary to remove any scale and new bonnet/body gaskets fitted when reassembling the valves.

c. d. e.

f. g.

All welds or attachments required including pipe supports or reinforcing plates, etc, shall be made before heat treatment. No welding is permitted after heat treatment. 4.7.14 Filler Materials All filler materials shall deposit an alloy whose chemical, physical and corrosion resistance properties correspond to the base material and shall satisfy requirements of the Code Standards. Consumables for use on carbon steel lines for sodium cyanide solution shall have low sulfur content. 4.7.15 Weld Repairs No repair shall be undertaken without first notifying the Superintendent of the requirement to repair, and seeking his approval of the proposed repair procedure.
