1.0 PURPOSE:
The purpose of this method statement is to establish a system to carry out the
Rubber lining of spool in accordance with applicable QSGTL specification,
Manufacturers recommendation and code / standard requirement.
The scope of this method statement covers all activities related to the Rubber
lining of spool
Sand Blasting
Applying unvulcanised rubber inside the pipe by use of bonding agent
Curing at Chamber
Rubber used neoprene .Hardness 60 To 70 shore A

4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES:
4.1 The overall responsibility for all physical activities are lies with the Ocean
rubber factory supervisor who will be supported by hot vulcanizing
technicians, QA/QC and safety personnel at shop, to ensure that the
activities incorporated in this method statement & all quality aspects are
followed.
4.2 Ocean rubber factory QA/QC Engineer and Inspector is responsible for
monitoring of all physical activities during lining and vulcanizing
4.3 Ocean rubber factory and ABC QA/QC Engineers and QA/QC Inspectors
are responsible to all QA/QC related documents and implementation.
4.4 Ocean rubber factory hot vulcanizing technicians will be responsible for
rubber lining.
4.5 Ocean rubber factory safety officer shall ensure that rubber lining works
and related activities re undertaken in accordance with the company
safety procedure, and that all necessary precaution is being implemented.
5.1 RUBBER
REMA Tip Top Heating solution (HS) T4, Tip Top cleaning solvent-R4
shall be used as adhesive materials.
Store in cool and dry place. Do not store in aluminum, zinc, aluminum
alloys and plastic container. Prevent water or moisture from entering
container.
6.1 The steel surface to be lined shall be smooth, clean and free from pitting,
cavities, porosity, scale or other deposits and shall be blast-cleaned to a
surface finish corresponding to at least Sa 2.5.
6.2 Directly after blast cleaning of the steel substrate, the grit, dust, etc., shall be
removed and a layer of adhesive primer with a dry film thickness in the range
of 30 m(1.2 mil)to 50 m (2 mil) shall be applied.
6.3 After sufficient evaporation of the solvent (but not longer than 100 h), the pre-
cut, non-vulcanized rubber sheets are applied. Care shall be taken to position
the sheets accurately without entrapment of air.
6.4 After application rubber lining, the spools shall be shifted into heating chamber
and keep for curing at a temperature of 140 C to 160 C at 4 6 Bar (284 F
to 320 F) for 6 to 7 hours.
6.5 A sample piece shall be prepared and lined on a plate parallel to the spools
lining activities as per the steps 6.1 to 6.4 above, for conducting adhesion test.
6.6 After vulcanization of the rubber lining, the steel parts shall be painted
externally in accordance with DEP 30.48.00.31-Gen. (This activity not included
in this scope).
7.0 INSPECTION:
7.1 100% Visual examination shall be carried out before and after hydro test
to ensure that there are no trapped air pockets & workmanship is
generally good.
7.2 100% Holiday testing shall be carried-out before and after hydro test at a
voltage of 6(1+Thickness of lining)Kv at a maximum of 30Kv.

7.4 Hardness testing shall be carried out on minimum 3 spots/ piece using
shore-A hardness meter.
7.5 Adhesion test of sample piece shall be conducted and shall reach
minimum of 5 MPa (725PSi) for temperature up to 60C
8.1 The chemical components required for rubber lining repair/patch activities
present certain safety health hazards if not handled well.
8.2 Adhesives (REMA TIP TOP heating solution T-4, TIP TOP Cleaning
solvent -R4):- Adhesives used for vulcanizing activities may be irritating to
eye and skin, inhalation will effect on central nervous system. It is
flammable liquid. Highly flammable, irritating to eye and skin, harmful
8.4 All crew members shall use protective/safety glasses and rubber gloves.
8.5 All materials and chemicals shall be away from heat source, sparks and
open flames.
8.7 First Aid for Eyes: Flush exposed eyes with large amount of water. In
case of severity, immediately obtain medical aid from nearest hospital.
8.8 First Aid for Skin: Wash with soap using enough volume of water.
