 For GOSP traps, degassers, & WOSEP's in wet sour service, entire
interior surface including all internals has been coated except for anodes SAES-H-001,
A9
& heating coils. For wet sweet service, coat 0.3 m above maximum Par. 7.3 (H)
expected water level. Coating is not reqd for dry service.

For desalters and dehydrators, the bottom 60% including all internals
SAES-H-001,
A10 except anodes, were coated up to this level. Also coat the last 25-50 mm
Par. 7.3 (H)(2)
of the tips of the grid.

The dry film thickness shall be within the minimum and maximum
SAES-H-001,
A11 limits allowed in the applicable APCS. Dry film thickness shall be
Para 9.3.5 (a)
checked in accordance with SSPC PA2.

Internal Coating have no application related defects such as:

Runs, sags, drips, dry spray or foreign matter and uniform in appearance, SAES-H-001,
A12
blisters, cracked, porous or below minimum dry film thickness as given in Par. 9.3.5 (b) (c (e
the applicable APCS.

Internal coating on vessels have been holiday checked using a wet

A21 Blind trays shall be seal welded after installation.
Par. 9.1.13

Spacing between two adjacent bolt holes or clamps shall not exceed 150
mm (or 6”) for standard design loads. For trays and internals design with
32-SAMSS-020,
A22 uplift of 1psi or greater, this minimum spacing shall be 100 mm (or 4”).
Par. 9.1.15
The spacing between two adjacent tray sections on the support ring is
exempt from this requirement.

 Welding of Shell Attachments
1. Attachments supporting light loads, which will result in tensile or shear
stress less than 6.9 MPa (1,000 psi), may be welded directly to the
cladding.
2. Attachments other than those specified in paragraph 12.2.1 (1) of this 32-SAMSS-020,
A35
specification shall be welded directly to the base metal. The attachment Par. 12.2.1
shall have a full penetration weld to the base material. Where attachment
is to be welded to the base metal after cladding the vessel, clad shall be
stripped-back to weld the attachment. The attachment and the stripped-
back area shall be then weld overlaid.

Welding of Other Attachments

1. All welding procedures and welders shall be qualified in accordance
with ASME SEC IX and SAES-W-010.
2. Approved processes are SMAW and GTAW. Any other process
requires the approval of the Saudi Aramco Engineer.
3. The filler metal shall match the composition and mechanical properties
of the base metal. If two different base metals are to be joined, the filler
metal selection shall be approved by the Saudi Aramco Engineer.
4. A weld map shall be prepared to indicate which welding procedure will
32-SAMSS-020,
A36 be used for each weld joint.
Par. 12.2.2
5. All WPSs, PQRs and Weld Maps shall be submitted for approval to the
Saudi Aramco Engineer prior to the start of the job. All WPSs, PQRs and
weld maps shall be available at the work site for review at any time.
6. All full-penetration groove welds shall be welded from both sides,
except when this is not feasible due to thickness or geometry of the joint.
Double-sided welds shall be ground or gouged to sound metal prior to
welding the second side.
7. Thermally cut or gouged surfaces of all material shall be ground to
bright (un-oxidized) material prior to welding.

After installation, all trays shall be visually inspected for conformance to 32-SAMSS-020,
A37
the Tray Manufacturer's drawings and installation tolerances. Par. 13.2.1

Bubble cap and valve trays are to be inspected by using a strong light.
Any open seams, holes or gaps, which exceed 6 mm, shall be closed by 32-SAMSS-020,
A38
non-asbestos gaskets and bolt tightening. Openings less than 6 mm shall Par. 13.2.2
be repaired by bolt tightening or gaskets.

The addition of gaskets and/or ceramic rope is to be regarded as the last 32-SAMSS-020,
A39
course of action to be taken to seal trays. Par. 13.2.3

Materials for gaskets and rope must be compatible with the design 32-SAMSS-020,
A40
conditions of the vessel and chemically resistant to the service. Par. 13.2.4
