defining their respective location and duties.
13.2 Marking shall be stamped, stenciled, tagged or otherwise clearly marked with permanent
marking method.
13.3 During Sand blasting, painting and galvanizing, the marking shall be masked and secured.
13.4 Material identification shall be maintained throughout the fabrication, installation and up to
final inspection.
14. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
14.1 General
15.9 Temporary test gaskets shall be installed for the test on location with temporary blinds or
spools. However permanent gaskets may be used for the flanged joints which will remain
unopened during and after pressure test. Screwed tapping, for example in orifice flange sets,
shall be plugged.
15.10 Non-return valves, if installed, will require that the piping network be pressurized from the
upstream side.
15.11 High point vents to release air from the system whilst filling with the test medium and low point
drains, either valved or plugged.
15.12 Two pressure gauges (minimum) shall be used for the test. The gauges shall be calibrated and
certificate attached to test package before pressure test. The maximum range of gauge will be
1.5 to 4 times of the test pressure.
15.13 Once the pressure of the line is stable, inspection of the line shall commence. The test
pressure for process or power pipe work shall be for a minimum of 30 minutes or as required to
inspect the line.
15.14 In case of leakage, the line shall be retested after repair according to the related procedure.
15.15 When the test has been successfully completed, lines are de-pressurized by operating vent
valves gradually. Then the complete discharging of the system through the drain valves is
taken up, keeping the vent valves always open. The line shall be de-pressurized and drained
completely.
15.16 All test blinds shall be removed and the line shall be reinstated with permanent gaskets.
15.17Hydrostatic test shall be followed under code: Hydrostatic test procedure of piping (SA-JER-
XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXXXX)
16. FLUSHING
16.1 After completion and approval of hydrostatic testing of the system, all lines and
equipments shall be drained and flushed.
16.2 Special attention shall be given to points where water and sediments may be trapped,
such as valve bodies or low points.
16.3 A circulation loop may be established and the system flushed until circulating water is
clear.
16.4 All pneumatic lines shall not be flushed.
16.5 Piping completed the Pressure Testing shall be internally cleaned to remove all remaining
foreign matter by water flushing or blowing with air.
16.6 Flushing shall be done with water and oil free air. Water used for flushing and cleaning
austenitic stainless steel shall contain less than 1ppm chlorides.
16.7 Instruments shall not be flushed through.
16.8 Piping and equipment shall be dried and all traces shall be removed as per project
specifications.
16.9 Where special condition exist such as cleaning compressor section and oil lube piping,
separate cleaning method shall be adopted as per the Vendor’s or Owner’s specifications.
17. RE-INSTATEMENT
17.1 After successful completion of pressure testing, flushing and draining, the system shall be
returned to a state of commissioning readiness as per drawing specifications and Project
requirement.
17.2 All temporary materials such as spades, blinds, gaskets and temporary supports should be
removed from the system.
17.3 All spectacle blinds should be repositioned to the correct position as per the P&ID.
17.4 All accessible points of the system shall be inspect to ensure that it is free of scale, rust,
loose paint and film and is of correct surface appearance.
17.5 Nitrogen blanket shall be re-established for specified critical components or systems in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions and project procedures.
17.6 All items those were removed from the system before hydrotest such as control valves,
inline instruments etc. should be re installed after hydrotest and flushing.
17.7 All punch items should be removed and all test vents should be seal welded.
17.8 All completed system should be inspected for the correct flow direction in piping and
instruments.
