Definitions and Abbreviations Pressure Vessels: Is a container designed to withstand internal or external pressure. The vessels are constructed in accordance to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII. These vessels are subjected to internal or external operating pressure greater than 15 lbs/in2. Drums, Towers, Columns and Reactors, heat exchangers, condensers, air coolers, bullets, spheres and accumulators are common types of pressure vessels. Tanks: Tanks are built to API STD 650 covers, fixed roof, floating roof, floating and fixed roof tanks. The scope is limited to the tank foundation, bottom, shell, structure, roof, attached appurtenance and nozzles. Heaters: There are a variety of designs for fired tubular heaters. Some of the commonly used designs are the box, cylindrical, and cabin types. The tubes in the
Page 4 of 90
radiant are called radiant tubes. The heat transfer in these tubes is mainly through the radiation from the heating flame and incandescent refractory. The shock or shield tubes are located at the entrance to the convection section and they receive more heat flux. Convection tubes are on top of the heater, heated by the out going flue gas from the radiant section. Boilers: Fired boilers are boilers in which fuel is burned in the combustion chamber associated with the boiler. The heat of the combustion is absorbed by the boiler to heat the water and convert it to steam. Boilers are mainly of two types, water tube and fire tube boilers, where water is in the tube is called water tube boiler and fire in the tube is called the fire tube boiler. Alloy Material: Any metallic material (including welding filler materials) that contains alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, or molybdenum, which are added to enhance mechanical or physical properties and/or corrosion resistance. Fabrication: The preparation of piping and small connection for assembly, including cutting, threading, grooving, forming, bending and joining of components into subassemblies. Face of the weld: The exposed surface of a weld on the side from which the welding was done. Filler material: The material to be added in making metallic or nonmetallic joints. Fillet weld: A weld of approximately triangular cross section joining two surfaces approximately at right angles to each other in a lap joint, tee joint, or corner joint. Crack: A fracture type discontinuity characterized by a sharp tip and high ratio of length to width to opening displacement. Lack of fusion: A weld discontinuity in which fusion did not occur between weld metal and base metal or adjoining weld beads. Incomplete Penetration: The weld beads unable to fill the weld bevel groove. Porosity: Cavity type discontinuities formed by gas entrapment during solidification of the weld metal. Rounded Indications: Indications with a maximum length of three times the width or less on the radiograph. Aligned Indications: A sequence of four (4) or more rounded indications should be considered aligned. Leg Length: is the thickness of a fillet weld, excluding any allowable reinforcement measured through the leg.
Page 5 of 90
tm: Minimum thickness required (t) is equal to the design thickness as calculated by the applicable ASME SEC VIII D1, ASME B31.3 (Barlows/Hoops) formula. Hydrocarbon Services: Process streams of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbon (HC) materials, or HC streams that may contain phenols, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. Category "D" Fluid Service: A fluid service in which all the following apply: 1) 2) 3) The fluid handled is nonflammable, non toxic, and not damaging to human tissues as defined in ASME B31.3 paragraph 300.2. The design gage pressure does not exceed 150 psi (1030 kpa) The design temperature is from -20F (-29C) through 366F (180C)
Category "M" Fluid Service: A fluid service in which the potential for personnel exposure is judged to be significant and in which a single exposure to a very small quantity of a toxic fluid, caused by leakage, can produce serious irreversible harm to persons on breathing or bodily contact, even if prompt restorative measures are taken. High Pressure Fluid Service: A fluid service for which the owner specifies the use of high pressure piping. Normal Fluid Service: A fluid service pertaining to most piping covered by the code (ASME 31.3), that is, not subjected to the rules for Category D, Category M, or High Pressure Service. Low-Chrome Alloy Steels: Alloy materials with nominal chromium contents of 1% to 12% chrome. Repair: The work necessary to restore the condition of the equipment suitable for safe operation at the design conditions, without any deviation from the original configuration.

6.1.4 6.1.5
Check for adequate lighting and scaffold as required for inspection. Also, at the time of vessel entry ensure a man stand by is available, for your safety and company loss prevention. 6.1.6 Start preliminary internal inspection at all man ways (man way inspection) going from bottom (If a column or tower) to the top or vise versa. Record the observations at each level on a note pad. Start entering the vessel from the top man way and assess the conditions of nozzles, vessel head, vessel wall, vessel internal hardwares (Trays, bubble caps seal pan, support rings, demister pad, Glitch, etc.). Identify each item and note the observations for your evaluation. Request demister pad, packing removal and cleaning including packing beds if required for detailed inspection. Focus on flash zones, inlet areas, vapor phases, welds, etc. While performing detailed inspection look for pitting corrosion, erosion/corrosion, channeling, weld erosion/corrosion and cracks, mechanical damages while opening and fixing, environmental cracking, bulging and blistering and the like are some to look for with in the vessel. A good cleaning and careful evaluation will help make a good decision. If Fitness for Service (FFS) assessment is required, a full evaluation will have to be done from design, operation, and history of operation to assess the possibility of extending the service life of the vessel. After completion of the full inspection, request any additional cleaning or removal of internals for detailed inspection or repairs if any, repair procedure shall be issued by API certified or experienced senior inspector in consultation with PV engineer. Reference the applicable standards and codes in your recommendation. Follow up the recommendations and the related repairs per Saudi Aramco standards, the codes, ASME and API. Carry out the final inspection on completion of the repairs and cleaning as applicable. Assess the vessel condition for operation until the next T&I date. If FFS assessment is done and the vessel can go through minimally the EIS period, then request for change of EIS schedule. Request a new vessel on hand for replacement. Applicable standards and codes: SAEP-20, SAEP-302, SAEP-325, SAES-D-008, SAES-W-010, SAES-W-015, ASME SEC VIII D1 and API STD 510.
