Pressure Testing

Flushing

The following items must be checked by the piping inspector before the pressure testing:

• Flushing of all lines shall be done prior to hydro testing. • Flushing shall be done by fresh potable water or dry compressed air, where ever water flushing is not desirable, to clean the pipe of all dirt, debris or loose foreign material. • Required pressure for water flushing shall meet the fire hydrant pressure or utility water pressure. For air flushing, the line / system shall be pressurized by compressed air at the required pressure which shall be 50 psi maximum. The pressure shall then be released by quick opening of a valve, already in line or installed temporarily for this purpose. The procedure shall be repeated as many times as required till the inside of the pipe is fully cleaned. • In line instruments like control valves, orifice plates, rotameters, safety valves and other instruments like thermowells which may interefere with flushing shall not be included in the flushing circuit. • The screens / meshes shall be removed from all permanent strainers before flushing. Screens / meshes shall be reinstalled after flushing but before testing. • In case an equipment such as Column, Vessel, Exchanger etc form part of piping circuit during flushing, this shall be done with the approval of the QC in-charge. However, equipments thus included in the circuit shall be completely drained and dried with compressed air after flushing is complete.

1- Test pack to be ready for review before planning for test. 2- Punching to be done and A punches to be cleared before test. 3- Calibration of gauges, dead weight tester, safety valves to be confirmed wherever applicable. 4- Water certificate to be checked wherever applicable de mineralized water certificate to be checked for testing of DSS, Duplex, CRA & wherever applicable. 5- Safety precautions to be followed before proceeding for test 6- Pressure gauges used should have a range between 1 ½ times & 4 times the test pressure. 7- Two pressure gauges to be used, one at the maximum height & the other near the pressure pump. 8- Remove air during the process of pressurizing (There should be no air entrapment in the system being tested). 9- Holding time (min) to be such as physically the t/component for any sign of leakage. 10- After the test, release the pressure from the top gauge slowly and check the fall in gauge pressure.

60

61

Flushing

Hydro Testing Test Pressure

• Precautions shall be taken to prevent entry of water / foreign matter into equipments, electric motors, instruments, electrical installations etc in the vicinity of the lines being flushed.

Hydro Testing Test Media • In general all pressure tests shall be hydrostatic using iron free water, which is clean and free of silt. Maximum chlorine content of water for hydrostatic testing for SS /DSS piping shall be 15-20 PPM. • Air shall be used for testing only if water would cause corrosion of the system or overloading of s etc. • Where air/water test are undesirable, substitute fluids such as gas oil, kerosene, methanol etc shall be used as the testing media, with due considerations to the hazards involved. These test fluids shall be specified in the line list with the contractor. Test Pressure • Pressurization shall be achieved gradually from the bottom associated with venting from the top. 62

• The hydrostatic/pneumatic test pressure shall be indicated in the line list. • The selection of the piping system for one individual test shall be based on the following: 1-The test pressure required as per line list 2-Maximum allowable pressure for the material of construction of piping • Depending upon the above requirements and based on construction progress, the maximum length of piping shall be included in each test. Test Pressure Gauge • All the gauges used for field testing shall have suitable range so that the test pressure of the various systems falls in 40% to 80% of the gauge scale range. Gauges shall have valid calibration in good working condition. • Prior to the start of any test or periodically during the field test program, all test gauges shall be calibrated using a standard dead weight gauge tester or other suitable approved test apparatus. Any gauge showing an incorrect zero reading or error of more than 2 percent of full scale shall be discarded. The accuracy of the master gauge used for calibration shall also be verified. 63

Pressure Testing

Pressure Testing

Testing procedure guidelines • All vents and other connections used as vents shall be left open while filling the line with test fluid for complete removal of air. In all lines for pressurizing and de-pressurizing the system, temporary isolating valves shall be provided if valved vents, drains do not exist in the system. • Pressure shall be applied only after the line / system is ready and approved by the QC-incharge. • Pressure shall be applied by means of a suitable test pump or other pressure source which shall be isolated from the system as soon as the test pressure is reached and stabilized in the system. • A pressure gauge shall be provided at the pump discharge for guidance in bringing the system to the required pressure. • The pump shall be attended constantly during the test by an authorized person. The pump shall be isolated from the system whenever the pump is left unattended. • Test pressure shall be maintained for a sufficient length of time to permit thorough inspection for all ts for leakage or signs of failure. Any t found leaking during a pressure test shall be re-tested to the specified pressure after repair. Minimum test period shall be maintained as per the applicable specification. • Spring hanger s shall be in the locked position during hydrotests. 64

• The pump and the piping system to be tested are to be provided with separate pressure indicating test gauges. These gauges are to be checked by standard test gauge before each pressure test. • Care shall be taken to avoid increase in the pressure due to temperature variation during the test. • After hydrotest has been completed, the pressure shall be released in a manner and at a rate so as not to endanger personnel or damage equipments. • All vents and drains shall be opened before the system is to be drained and shall remain open until all draining is complete, so as to prevent formation of vacuum in the system. After draining, lines / system shall be dried by air. • After testing is competed the test blinds shall be removed and equipment/piping isolated during testing shall be connected using the specified gaskets, bolts and nuts. These connections shall be checked for tightness in subsequent pneumatic tests to be carried out by the contractor for complete loop / circuit including equipments (except rotary equipments). • Pressure test shall be considered complete only after approved by the QC in-charge. Defects, if any, noticed during the testing shall be rectified immediately and retesting the system /line shall be done by the contractor. • Usage of manifolds with adequately fitted and tested pressure relief valves shall be used during the hydrotests for safe operations. 65

Safety in Piping (Slings & Shackles)

Safety in Piping (Slings & Shackles)

Sling Inspection Instructions: Slings are generally used with other material handling equipment for the movement of material by hoisting. Slings are made of alloy steel chain, wire rope, metal mesh, natural or synthetic fibre, or fibre woven into web. The inspector must determine, using the instructions below, when the sling shall be replaced. 1- General: • Each day before use, slings and all fastening and attachments must be inspected for damage or defects. Damaged slings shall be removed from service. • Additionally monthly inspections shall be performed and documented by a competent person. • Wire rope slings shall not be used if, in any length of eight (8) diameters, the total number of visible broken wires exceeds 10% of total number of wires, or if the rope shows other signs of excessive wear, corrosion, or defect. • In case of alloy steel chain slings, the inspection shall include a thorough check for wear, defective weld or deterioration are present, the chain must be immediately removed from use.

2- Wire Rope: Wire rope slings shall be removed from service when the following conditions are present: • For strand laid and single part slings, ten randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay or five broken wires in one rope lay or five broken wires in one strand in one rope lay. • Severe localized abrasions or scraping. • Kinking, crushing, bird caging, or any other damage resulting in distortion of the rope structure • Evidence of heat damage • End attachments that are cracked, deformed, or worn to the extent that the strength of the sling is substantially affected. • Hooks that are cracked, spreading (more than 15%), and /or missing throat latches. • Severe corrosion of the rope or end attachment. 3- Chain Slings: Conduct a visual inspection to check for stretched, bent, or worn or gouged links. Multi-leg slings can be hung on hook to check legs are the same length. All chain slings must have a tag with the grade, size, capacity & manufacturer stamp on it.

Safety in Piping (Slings & Shackles)

5- Metal mesh slings:

4- Synthetic web slings: Inspect the label. The following information shall be legible on the label: • • • • • • • • • • •

Safety in Piping (Slings & Shackles)

The manufacturer’s name or identification trade mark, The rated capacity for the type of hitch, and The type of synthetic material. The sling must be removed from service when the following conditions exist: Acid or caustic marks are present. Melting or charring of any part of the sling. Holes, cuts, tears, or excessive fraying or snags. Broken or worn stitching in load bearing splices. Knots in any part of the sling. Excessive pitting or corrosion or cracked, distributed or broken fittings. Other visible damage that causes doubt as to the strength of the sling.

5- Metal mesh slings: Manufacturer’s tag with their trade mark or name must be present. The rated load in vertical basket and choker hitch configuration must be listed. Metal mesh slings shall be removed from service when the following conditions exist: 68

Safety in Piping (Slings & Shackles)

• A broken weld or broken brazed t along the sling edge. • A broken wire in any part of the mesh. • Reduction in wire diameter of 25% due to abrasion or 15% due to corrosion. • Lack of flexibility. • Distortion of either end fitting such that the width of the eye opening is decreased by more than 10%. • Distortion of choker fittings so the depth of the slot is increased by more than 10%. • A 15% reduction of the original cross-sectional area of metal around the hook opening or end fitting. 6- Rope clips: • Wire rope clips are used to attach fixtures to wire rope and to make guy lines. To attach rope clips: • Turn back the required amount of wire rope from thimble or loop. Apply the first clip one base width from the dead end of the wire rope. Apply the U-bolt over the dead end of wire rope; the live end rests in the saddle. Tighten the nuts evenly, alternate from one nut to the other until reaching the recommended torque.

6- Rope clips: When two clips are required, apply the second clip as near to the loop or thimble as possible. Tighten the nuts evenly, alternating until reaching the recommended torque. When more than two clips are required, apply the second clip as near the loop or thimble or loop as possible, turn the nuts on second clip firmly, but do not tighten. Proceed to step three. When three or more clips are required, space the additional clips equally between the first two, take up the rope slack, tighten the nuts on each U-bolt evenly, alternating from one nut to the other until reaching the recommended torque. IMPORTANT: Apply a load test to the assembly prior to use. This load shall be equal or greater than the intended load. Next check and retighten the nuts evenly to the recommended torque. Inspect the assembly periodically for wear, abuse and general adequacy. Never use wire rope clips to make slings / chokers.
