C. Avoid the time when the temperature changes drastically for tests.
E. Prior to conducting airtightness tests, perform adequate soap water tests on joints and valve slide parts
or blind parts.
F. Since the pressure inside the pipe changes at the initial stage, wait until the pressure stabilizes before

12. Oxygen piping
12.1 General
(1) These specifications are applicable to the piping for 100% dry oxygen with purity of more than 99.6%.
(2) Perform work based on high-pressure gas handling methods and high-pressure piping standard
established by Japans Ministry of Trade and Industry (established by the high-pressure gas
association).
Specifications Remarks
Straight pipe * For pressure pipe, use carbon steel pipe. Control valve,
- Maximum 300A : Seamless Flow meter erection territory
- More than 350A : ERW
* Straight length of pipe ahead and behind of orifice
shall be determined by orifice maker specification.
Bent pipes * Same material as for regular pipes; as a rule, min. BEND ANGLE: Max. of 60
of 1.5D BRANCH ANGLE: 45 ~ 60
- Maximum 300A : Seamless SHORTAGE ELBOW
-More than 350A : Seamless
VALVE * VALVE body: SCS13 or SCPH2 JIS 30 Kg/
* Waist part: STS 304
* VALVE SEAT: STELLITE
* Materials for valve stem : STS304
** Control valve (PCV, FCV)
- Body : SCS13
- Trim : monel(gage, plug, seat, stem)
FLANGE SS400, SC40, S25C, STS304
PACKING * Metallic packing STS (Tombow 1834R or its Oil less gasket
equivalent) or copper packing (non-combustible material)
* Gland packing: Teflon (non-combustible material)

(2) Machining
* Prior to starting work, cover the opening with clean pure cotton plug to suppress completely the
dispersed scale due to grinding and beveling. Once work is completed, remove the scale and dust and
clean the area surrounding the pure cotton plug with proper chemical product.
(3) Welding
Perform argon welding for 1 pass or 1/3 of total pass (use TIG welding machine)
The purpose of injecting N (99.6% purity) and argon (99.999% purity) is to change the air inside the
pipe to prevent oxidization during welding; hence the good back bead and absence of adhering welding
scale.
