9.0 Procedure for Hydraulic Testing

Maximum length of pipeline as per site conditions will be hydraulic tested to a pressure 1.5 times the
system working pressure for 2 hours. Procedure of conducting hydraulic testing is as follows.

 Pipe interiors will be cleared for any foreign materials.

 Blank off all the open ends of pipes.

 Arrangement for filling the water inside the pipe line, proper venting of air and hydraulic test
pump connection with pressure gauges will be made.

 Water will be filled in the pipe line by means of filling pump or facility available at site.

 Proper venting will be done so that all the air inside the pipeline by opening vent valve at all
high points. Water will be allowed to flow from all venting points for about 10 to 15 Minutes to
ensure that complete air has been removed.

 After the confirmation of removal of all the air, all vent valves will be closed.

 Pipeline will be checked for any leakage and if so that will be rectified immediately and above
said activities will be repeated.

 The pipe line will be pressurized through hydraulic test pump, which will be driven either by
electric motor or manual.

 During pressurization once again pipe line will be checked for leakages.

 After attaining the required test pressure, the running of the pressurizing pump will be made
off and immediately the pressure reading of the pipe line will be noted. The concerned
approval authority for this test shall be present during testing period at work location.

 After two Hrs. pressure reading will be noted. and the test result will be certified by the
approval authority. If the test result is not satisfactory, the above said exercise will be repeated
till test gets satisfactory result.

 Hydraulic Test Report will be prepared and got approved from the approval authority.

10.0 Welding and Cutting Operations:

  Welder qualification test should be carried out with 6G positions welding. Radiography (X-Ray) test

and laboratory tests. Subject to the satisfactory report only, that particular welder should be
Allowed to perform welding work for that project.
 An identity card duly signed by approval authority shall be issued.
 The fitter shall use a normal welding transformer to join pipes by tack-welding them. Joint-gap of

joint is completely removed. Grinding machine should be used to remove flux.

 After letting the joint to solidify for a few minutes, the final weld shall be performed and the flux is
removed once again.

10.1 Arc Welding Machine

For fitment purpose, a step down transformer is used. The transformer receives the A.C supply

iii) The formation of slag over the joint thus protects from rapid cooling.

iv) The addition of alloying element.

v) The electrodes are made of either soft steel wire or alloy steel. .

vi) AWS E-6013 class welding electrodes shall be used

Welder should be qualified and skilled to perform the welding joints and follow all safety procedures
during the performance of welding sequence.

10.3 Gas Cutting Equipment

Gas cutting is fusion method of cutting, in which a strong gas flame is used to raise the temperature of
work pieces so as to melt them. The following gases can be used for heating and cutting
i) Oxygen and Acetylene mixture.

ii) Oxygen and Liquefied Petroleum gas mixture.

The oxy-acetylene gas equipment consists of two large steel cylinders; one containing oxygen at high
pressure, and the other dissolved acetylene also at high pressure, rubber tubes, pressure regulators and
blowtorch. The oxygen and the acetylene are supplied to the blowtorch separately, where both of them
get mixed and come out through the nozzle of the blowtorch.
