otherwise physically removing contaminants.

Slagblasting
Only dry, oil-free air shall be used for blasting. Blasting material shall be
glass or slag blast media and shall be clean and free of hydrocarbon
contamination. Coal slag material, Black Beauty is prohibited for use as
a blasting agent for oxygen service cleaning.

Slagblasting to gray metal is the preferred method for cleaning carbon


steel items whenever practical. Except for thoroughly removing particles
by blowing out, wiping, or vacuum cleaning, no further cleaning is
required. The term slagblasting includes bead and slag blasting.
Detailed information and requirements for slagblasting are given in
General Specification GC-12, Painting and Protective Coatings.

Brushing
Note: Brushes with carbon steel bristles are only permitted to be used on
carbon steel. Stainless brushes are preferred. Copper, brass, or bronze
brushes may be used.

Blowing
After any mechanical cleaning, the components or systems must be
cleaned by blowing, swabbing, or vacuuming.

Hand Wiping
Hand wiping is a mechanical cleaning method using a clean, lint free cloth
to wipe only on small select areas on components or systems. Readily
accessible surfaces may be cleaned using only a Quiltec 1 Wiper, Part
Nos. QTI99 or QTI1212 or a Polywipe-C Heatseal Wiper, Part Nos.
PCHS99 or PCHS1212 (available from Contec Corp., P.O. Box 530,
Spartanburg, SC 29304), which is moistened with a cleaning solution or
solvent.

It shall only be used as spot cleaning for large components and only
after other cleaning methods have been employed. It may be used as the
sole cleaning method for small components such as tubing fittings, tubing
elbows, tubing connectors, etc.

Swabbing

Rev. 4

Swabbing is a mechanical cleaning method using a clean, lint free mop to


clean areas on components or systems which are too large to clean by
hand wiping. Readily accessible surfaces may be cleaned using only an
Edgeless Mop, Part No. ELMOP (available from Contec Corp.) which is
moistened with a cleaning solution. Polyethylene pales or buckets are
acceptable for use with the aqueous cleaners. Any pail or bucket used
for swabbing must first be cleaned with the cleaning agent to be used.
The material of construction of pails and buckets must be compatible with
the cleaning agent to be used.

b) Chemical cleaning, including the use of solvent or alkaline solution for


grease removal, acid-pickling (de-scaling), passivating, de-rusting, bright-
dipping, solvent or hot detergent flushing, immersion, spraying and/or
wiping.

Note: If detergent is used, thorough rinsing with clean water and


subsequent drying with oil free dry-air or Nitrogen are required. If solvent
is used, the item cleaned must be thoroughly purged with oil-free dry air
or Nitrogen.

Wherever possible all piping shall be of welded construction, except at


connections to valves, meters, etc., where threaded or flanged joints are
required.

Welding procedures, welder's qualification test, welding operations and testing of


welds shall be in accordance with ANSI B31.3.

Backup rings and internal alignment clamps shall not be used. The first or root
pass of welding shall be made by tungsten inert gas (TIG) process.

Workers shall keep their hands washed and clean of oil, dirt, grease, etc. and
wear reasonably clean, non-oily work clothes.

Tools, such as wrenches, etc., that are designated for use on the oxygen piping
system shall be kept clean and set aside for this purpose only.

Workbenches shall be clean, free of oil, dirt, grease, etc.

All fit-up and assembly of each pipe spool, fitting, etc. shall be inspected to
ensure that cleanliness required for the oxygen service specified in Section 11.4
was maintained.

The first two production welds and ten percent of all other welds shall be
radiographed. Radiographs shall be interpreted by qualified technicians (Level 2
minimum per American Society of Non-Destructive Testing - Recommended
Practices SNT-TC-IA).

A solvent rinse pail shall be available for washing bolts and nuts to remove all oil,
dirt, or grease just prior to installation. Pails must be cleaned and inspected with

a UV light before use. Gaskets shall be cleaned if they are not individually
packaged or if the package seal is broken and contamination is suspected.

If piping is not being worked on, all open pipe ends shall be closed with a
securely fastened plastic bag, a hard board cover, commercial pipe plug, or other
similar method.

11.2 Sequence of Installation Operations

The piping system shall be assembled without installing valves, strainers,


orifices, meters, instruments, or other components of like nature. Pre-cleaned
flanged spools shall be installed in their stead. Locally mounted instruments and
instrument tubing shall not be connected.

The system shall be pressurized and leak tested as outlined in Section 11.3.

All piping, instrument taps, drains and vents shall be vigorously blown down,
using residual test gas or added purge gas. Gas shall be oil free air or nitrogen

The system shall be completed, installing the components, instruments, tubing


and tie-ins. If the system is not to be put into immediate service, it shall be put
under 10 psig minimum pressure of dry oil-free nitrogen.

11.3 Testing Procedure

Testing shall be performed in accordance with the applicable sections of ANSI


B31.1, B31.3 or B31.8.

Dead weight calibrated and certified pressure gauges shall be installed at the
inlet and discharge ends of the piping.

The pressure shall be brought up to that required for testing, slowly so as to


avoid inducing vibration.

The test pressure shall be held for a minimum of one hour. The pressure shall be
checked periodically during the test.

Any pressure loss shall be cause for rejection.

Should pressure loss occur, all joints, connections, etc. shall be tested with a
concentrated soap or detergent solution or a commercial leak test solution such

Accessible significant surfaces must be free of contaminants visible to the naked


eye when viewed under bright light. A final check of absence of oil and grease
should be performed with the use of an Ultraviolet (UV) light source. Inaccessible
significant surface must pass indirect inspection by examination of wipings,
swabbing or flush liquids, as described in Section 11.5.

The following contaminants shall not be allowed to remain:

a) Hydrocarbon oils and greases

b) Unapproved pipe-threads or gasket sealant

c) Water

d) Conventional paints, varnishes, fluxes, or organic rust

e) Loose or loosely adherent rust or mill scale, shop dirt, filings, chips, or
loose weld spatter.

The following are not considered objectionable contaminants and may be


allowed to remain:

a) Tightly adherent (not removable without grinding) mill scale or weld


spatter.

b) Light rust film. See paragraph 11.5 (a) Note 1.

11.5 Cleanliness Inspection Methods

Items cleaned for oxygen service should be inspected by the method given below
which applies to the particular item. Parts, which will be inaccessible to
inspection after assembly, must be inspected prior to assembly. If inspection
reveals the presence of any contaminants, the item must be re-cleaned. Usually
wiping the contaminated area with a clean cloth moistened with an approved
solvent will adequately re-clean the area. Persistent rejection requires a
reevaluation of the cleaning techniques. An inspection log shall be established
and maintained.

a) Direct Visual Inspection: This method shall be used to verify the


cleanliness of an item with easily accessible surfaces. Look at or in the
item under bright white light to detect the presence of visible grease or oil
films and particulate matter, such as filings, chips, loose or loosely
adherent rust or mill scale. If any contamination is observed, the item
must be re-cleaned.

Note 1: A light film of rust is acceptable. The Steel Structures Painting


Council Pictorial Standard B Sa 2 (ASTM D-2200-67) shows
an acceptable condition.

Project No. C-560
General Specification 000-GC-P-009
Piping Installation
Rev. 4

Ultraviolet (Black Light) Inspection: In addition to direct visual inspection,


this method shall be used to detect common oils and greases. Examine
the surface in darkness or subdued light using a 3200-3800 AU
wavelength ultra-violet (black) light. If a bluish-white fluorescent blotch,
smear, smudge, or film is present, re-clean the item. Typical acceptable
models of ultra-violet lamps are SPECTROLINE Models B-100 and SL-
3660 manufactured by Black Light Eastern Division of Spectronics Corp.
Westbury, Long Island, New York.

Note 2: Fluorescent specks due to lint and mildly fluorescent stains


from detergent residues are acceptable, except in excess.

b) Wipe Test: This method should be used to check the cleanliness of


inaccessible surfaces or for verifying the cleanliness of an item with a
large surface area. Wipe the item or at least one square foot of its
surface, whichever is smaller, with clean white paper or unbleached cloth.
Examine the cloth or paper under both bright and ultra-violet (black) light.
If excessive discoloration or any bluish-white fluorescence appears, the
surface requires re-cleaning. Suggest cloth manufacturer is Contec Corp.
Item No. PNHS 1212, available from Contec Corp., P.O. Box 530,
Spartanburg, SC 29304, Telephone No. (800) 289-5762.

Note 3: A slight discoloration resulting from a light film of oxide is


acceptable (see also Note 1).
c) Solvent-Color Test: This method should be used to check the cleanliness
of inaccessible surfaces, which have been flushed with a solvent.
Thoroughly flush the item with solvent and collect a sample of the
draining in a clear glass jar. Compare a pint jar filled with used solvent
with a pint jar of unused solvent by holding both up to the light and
viewing them simultaneously through the side. There should be few
suspended particles and little, if any, difference in color between the two.
If contamination is present, the item should be re-flushed with the solvent.

d) Odor Test

A test used to check for the presence of hydrocarbons or cleaning


residue. If any odor is detected, then the oxygen service component or
system must be re-purged with dry, oil-free air or nitrogen until no odor is
detected.

For components and systems being purged, stand a sufficient distance


away from the exiting gas stream, so that only uncontaminated air may be
inhaled.

Take three (3) deep breaths.

Q:\Doc_Control\R0534200\03_Vendor Docs\4-Gabriel\CT's Draft\560-000-GC-P-009_4.doc

Project No. C-560
General Specification 000-GC-P-009
Piping Installation
Rev. 4

Then, with your lungs full, place your clean, ungloved and cupped hand in
the gas stream. Bring your cupped hand to your nose and sniff your
hand. If no odor is detected, then fan the venting gas toward your nose.

For components and systems not being purged, fan the air at the opening
of the component or system to your nose using your clean, ungloved and
cupped hand. Sniff your hand; if no odor is detected, then directly sniff
the opening of the component or system being tested. An acceptable test
shall e one in which no odor is detected.

If at any time during this test an odor is detected, the system or


component shall either continue to be purged for a period of not less than
thirty (30) minutes or until no odor can be detected. If the odor persists,
then the system shall be re-cleaned.

Note: Agitation and heating solution to 43oC will accelerate cleaning.

WARNING: DO NOT HEAT ANY CONCENTRATION OF A CITRIKLEEN HD


CLEANING SOLUTION ABOVE 49oC.

Prepare a cleaning solution by diluting the cleaner as specified in Table 2 and


use at the temperature indicated for the method of application.

Replace the Citrikleen HD solution when the cleaning efficiency has diminished
based upon subsequent inspection of the components being cleaned.

All components and systems cleaned with Citrikleen HD must be rinsed with
ambient clean water immediately and dried with oil free air or nitrogen.

Note: Rinsing effectiveness is improved if warm (approximately 49oC F) clean


water is used.

General Specification 000-GC-P-009
Piping Installation
Rev. 4

Citrikleen HD residue DOES fluoresce under ultraviolet light. If any cleaned


component or system fluoresces, the oxygen service component or system shall
be rinsed with clean water again to remove any cleaning agent residue. Should
the fluorescence persist, then re-clean the oxygen service component or system.

Refer to Manufacturers MSDS and other furnished data for material


compatibility.

11.7 Drying and Purging

All components and systems that require rinsing with clean water must be
immediately drained of all residual water and then immediately dried to avoid the
formation of surface rust. Drying may be accomplished using dry, oil-free air or
nitrogen, applying heat directly to the components and systems, blowing with a
fan or exposing components and systems to direct sunlight.

If components or systems cannot be positioned such that all rinse water readily
drains from it, then forced air drying techniques such as using heated oil-free air
or heated nitrogen must be used to ensure that all water is removed from the
components or system.

Note: The appropriate drying method must be based on the materials of


construction of the component or system and the configuration of the
component or system.

Interior surfaces of components or systems cleaned with solvent must be blown


dry using dry, oil-free air or nitrogen, applying heat directly to the components or
systems, blowing with a fan, or exposing components or systems to direct
sunlight. All traces of cleaning solvent odor must be removed from the
component or system by the drying process used.

12 GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR PRESSURE TESTING

12.1 Preparation

The following procedure outlines the method to be used in testing all process,
service and utility pipe installations. All piping systems shall be tested in
accordance with these requirements. See Section 11.0 for oxygen piping.

A complete pressure test shall be performed on all lines and equipment upon
completion of construction work but before insulation at joints is applied.

Prior to filling a system for testing, all pipelines shall be cleaned thoroughly. See
Section 14.0.

Care shall be exercised in testing so the applied pressure is limited to that portion
of the system being tested. Isolate other systems where required.

Pressure gauges and pressure parts of instruments together with piping


connecting to main pipelines or equipment may be tested at the same test
pressures as the main piping or equipment provided that the test pressure does
not exceed 80% of the instrument scale range. If test pressure is more than 80%
of scale range, the instruments shall be removed and their connections plugged.
Reinstall after test.

Pressure relief and thermal expansion relief valves shall be excluded from the
pressure tests. Blinds shall be installed adjacent to their inlet and/or outlet
flanges during tests. Screwed relief valves shall be removed and the
connections plugged during the test.

Lines containing check valves shall have the source of pressure located
upstream from the check valve so the pressure is applied under the seat. If this
is not possible, the check valves shall be removed, blanked off, or the discs
propped open.

Control valves shall be set in the wide-open position.

Orifice plates, which interfere with filling, venting and draining, shall be removed
prior to testing. Where expansion joints are used in piping, they shall not be
subjected to test pressures higher than their design test pressure. Other pieces
of equipment, such as flame arresters, filters, and instruments, which do not have
test pressures indicated, shall not be included in the tests.

Closed valves with plugged terminal may be used at the extremities of the
systems to be tested at the discretion of Aker Solutions authorized
representative.

Line test pressures are established in accordance with General Specification


000-GD-P-007 and the Piping Line List. Major equipment which is pressure
tested independent of piping systems shall be excluded from the line pressure

test. However, simultaneous test of exchangers and/or vessels with connected


piping may be performed provided that the test pressure used is not higher than
that permitted for the equipment.

12.2 Hydrotesting

Lines shall be purged of air before the hydrostatic test pressure is applied. Vents
shall be open when draining the systems.

Potable water shall be used for hydrotesting high-pressure oxygen. See Section
11.0 for desired cleanliness for oxygen service.
Water for hydro testing stainless steel piping shall not contain more than 50-PPM
chloride.

Care shall be exercised in order to prevent temporary concentration of excessive


loads on the support structure. Provide temporary supports where necessary.

The test pressure on any section of the line shall be limited to the test pressures
permitted on any exchanger, separator, strainer, expansion joint, or other
appurtenance and equipment installed in the line.

Hydrostatic test pressures shall be maintained for a sufficient length of time (30
minutes minimum) to permit close visual or hand-wiping inspection of all joints.

No lines shall be hydrostatically tested to less than 345 kPag except sanitary
lines and drains. Sewer and drain lines shall be tested at a minimum hydrostatic
head of 3 m.

Re-testing of lines, after repair, shall be done at the pressure originally specified
for the test.

After completion of hydrostatic testing, temporary blanks and blinds shall be


removed and lines shall be completely drained. Valves, orifice plates, expansion
joints, etc. shall be reinstalled. After the lines have been drained, temporary
supports shall be removed.

12.3 Pneumatic Testing

The following lines may be tested pneumatically:

a) Instrument air lines


b) Compressed air lines for general service

These lines shall be tested with air at a pressure equal to at least 110 percent of
the design pressure.

The pneumatic test pressure shall not exceed 1034 kPag. Lines being
pneumatically tested shall be brought up to final test pressure in easy stages to
avoid vibration. All joints shall be swabbed with a leak-detecting compound.

General Specification 000-GC-P-009
Piping Installation
Rev. 4

Lines pneumatically tested shall be kept under test pressure for not less than one
hour, without a loss in pressure. Repair any leaks and retest again at the
pressure originally specified for the test.

12.4 Pressure Test Record

Personnel responsible for testing shall record the test pressure applied to each
line using the attached form "Pressure Test Record," witnessed and signed by
Aker Solutions.

12.5 In Service Test

In-service test is primarily for Tie-ins to existing piping systems and shall be
performed on all Category D fluid piping. This may also be applied to other
piping systems contingent to Owners approval.

13 TEMPORARY PIPING

Temporary piping may not be shown on the Buyers drawings. However, Vendor may be
required to fabricate, install and possibly salvage temporary piping systems necessary
for the completion of the project. Temporary piping shall comply with the requirements
set forth in General Specifications 000-GD-P-006 and 000-GD-P-007.

All temporary piping shall be subject to Buyers inspection, suitable for the service
required and not be a safety hazard.

14 MECHANICAL CLEANING

All lines (see Section 11.0 for Oxygen piping requirement) shall be cleaned by flushing
with water until free of dirt, grit, welding slag, and other foreign materials. The line shall
be drained. Low-points and pockets shall be freed of any trapped water or debris and
the line air blown until dry.

Temporary strainers shall be installed to protect in-line instrument and pumps during the
initial operation.

Lines for water service need not be dried.

Clean fresh water shall be used for flushing.

Potable water shall be used for flushing oxygen lines, see Section 11.0.
