The piping class of the system of main and sub-headers be in accordance with PHE-
SPE-STA-301.
If appropriate from the sizing calculations, then Instrument Tubing may be used.

VII. CLEANING AND FLUSHING

All hydraulic components of the HPU shall be suitably cleaned (and flushed as necessary)
in order to obtain the required cleanliness level.
Cleaning and flushing procedure of the HPU shall be developed by the Vendor for both
workshop and site requirements. This procedure shall be approved by Company and shall
contain as a minimum:
• Cleaning/flushing method
• Cleaning fluids specification
• Calculation of minimum Reynolds number for flushing fluid velocity
• Required equipment specification
• Sampling method
• Acceptance criteria.
Cleaning and flushing procedure for HPU for subsea control application is not covered by
this specification.

VIII. IDENTIFICATION, TAGGING AND LABELING

All equipment including main instruments, instruments required for monitoring and
control, safety devices, tubing and junction boxes shall be identified and labeled in
accordance with PHE-SPE-ICS-210 and PHE-SPE-ICS-200.
Minor instruments such as auxiliary valves may follow a different identification but shall
be appropriately marked and labeled.
All tagging shall be reflected on the appropriate drawing in line with the actual label.
Tubing connections shall be labeled at both sides of the bulkhead fitting.
Piping connections shall be labeled.
The distribution network shall be labeled with the hydraulic service (e.g. HP, VHP) at all
connection points.

IX. INSPECTION AND TESTING

All tests shall be carried out in a safe manner. Particular attention shall be taken with
pressure tests and tests on “live” electrical equipment. Appropriate protective equipment
and measures shall always be employed.
Hydraulic Power Units shall be subject to a factory Acceptance Test. Detailed
requirements of the FAT are defined within PHE-SPE-ICS-530.
The FAT shall include as a minimum:
• Visual inspection
• Leak tests
• Full functional tests
• Hydraulic cleanliness verification.
The Vendor shall be responsible for supplying and implementing all necessary equipment
and accessories to demonstrate that the HPU meets its requirements.
A. TEST REPORT AND CERTIFICATE
Supplier shall prepare final results, compiling all inspection, test results and all
material certificates, explosion proof certificates.
This final result from the factory test shall be made available to the Company as part
of a package of final certified documents and drawings.

X. PACKING, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Shipment authorization will be given by the Contractor after all pending points arisen
during acceptance tests have been resolved.
All packing shall be as per project specification.
All equipment shall be protected and sealed with special package such as vacuum
packing so as to prevent condensation. Care shall be taken not to open or damage this
packing during shipping.
Each item shall be suitably packed so as to be protected from damage during shipment
and long term storage.
Prior to packing the hydraulic oil shall be circulated inside the HPU and filtered to reach
cleanliness codes 17/15/12 or better as defined by ISO 4406. Then the HPU, including
tubing, tanks and accumulators, shall be fully drained and dried and all connections
sealed with appropriate plastic plugs.
All electrical openings shall be plugged with plastic stoppers to maintain IP rating.
Each item shall be identified with the complete purchase order number. Additionally, they
shall be marked with the item numbers of the contents according to Contractor drawings.

Spare parts shall be separately packed.

Supplier will indicate the storage conditions and transportation recommendations that
apply to their equipment.
A. INSTRUMENT PRESERVATION
As soon as any equipment has been unpacked from its original factory-packing and
during all construction, test and transportation phases, all necessary measures for
protection against mechanical damage, corrosion and foreign material penetration
shall be implemented to prevent seizing and contamination (e.g. greasing/lubrication
of gaskets, threads and valve shafts, temporary covers or wrapping, etc.).

XI. DOCUMENTATION
Minimum documentation requirements are defined within PHE-SPE-ICS-530 and
includes for an HPU:
• Hydraulic Calculations
• HPU General Arrangement
• HPU Hydraulic Schematics
• Bill of Materials
• Data Sheets
• Wiring Schematics
• Certification and Test Reports
• Hydraulic Flushing, Cleaning, Filling Procedure.
