1. SCOPE
All covered electrodes are sensitive to moisture re-absorption to a greater or lesser degree.
Care must be taken during storage and handling to prevent moisture being re-absorbed.
The quality of the welded joint and case of welding depends entirely on the condition of the electrodes. If the
mineral coating is damaged, pour arc stability and inadequate shielding will result.
1. STORAGE
Covered electrodes of any type will pick up moisture only very slowly if they are stored under the following
climatic conditions:
At temperatures
During winter, it is possible to have low relative humidity by keeping the temperature in the storeroom at least
10°C above the outdoor temperature. During certain periods in the summer and in a tropical climate, sufficiently
low relative humidity can be maintained by air dehumidification.
If the electrodes have been stored in a cold place, allow them to reach ambient temperature before breaking the
package.
3. Redrying
Low- hydrogen basic electrodes should be redried before use whenever there application requirement relating to
weld metal hydrogen content and/or radiographic soundness (not needed for VacPac).
Acid rutile stainless electrodes and all types of basic electrode may produce pores in the weld if they have not been
stored in sufficiently dry conditions. Redrying the electrodes will restore their usability.
Electrodes which are seriously damaged by moisture can normally not be redried with first class results.
CONNECTION OF FIVE WELLS AT THE BD 1 PLATFROM DOC N°: PR‐QB‐011/13
Redrying temperatures and holding times are specified on the label and in the product specification.
The redrying time is measured from the point at which the redrying temperature has been reached.
Do not stack more than four layers of electrodes in the redrying oven.
4. Holding oven
The holding oven is used for intermediate storage to avoid moisture pick-up in the coating of low-hydrogen
electrodes and acid rutile stanless electrodes. The electrodes which should be stored in the holding oven are:
The issuing control of filler metal will be recorded “filler metal withdrawal log sheet” here attached
5. Precautions on site
If the color of the electrodes changes during storage, they should be scrapped or the electrode manufacturer should
be contacted.
Mechanically damaged electrodes on which parts of the coating are missing will not perform correctly and should
be scrapped.
Electrodes in VacPac will not pick up any moisture during storage. They require no re drying before use, provided
the package is undamaged. This is indicated by a vacuum in the package.
CONNECTION OF FIVE WELLS AT THE BD 1 PLATFROM DOC N°: PR‐QB‐011/13
Protect VacPac from damage at all times. The outer board packaging offers extra protection from mechanical
damage to the metal foil.
Handle the single inner, metal foil, VacPac with special care.
Do not uses a knife or any other sharp object t open the outer board packaging.
Check if the protective foil still contains a vacuum if the vacuum has been lost, redry the electrodes before use.
Do not take out more than one electrode at a time, thereby ensuring that the remaining electrodes are still protected
inside the package. Put the top back on the plastic capsule.
Discard or re dry electrodes that have been exposed to the atmosphere in an opened VacPac for more than 12
hours.
The store entry and issuing control of filler metal will be according to the “Material receipt storage and issue
procedure”PR-Q-0028 and “out of store of filler metal sheet” here attached.

PROCEDURE RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING PROCEDURE
In total darkness place a piece of 24 x 10cm D7 or equivalent speed film on the workbench and
completely cover it with a piece of cardboard that is at least the size of the film.
Switch on the safelights and draw the card across the film to expose a strip approximately 5cm wide.
After one minute move the card to expose a second strip approximately 5 cm wide
Repeat the action until four strips has been exposed, leaving approximately 4 cm unexposed.
Process the film
Evaluate the results by using a certified densitometer to measure the fog level of each strip.
Compare the exposed strips to the unexposed strip. Determine the maximum safe handling time for the film under
the prevailing lighting conditions considering that the exposed strips each represent multiples of one minute. The
maximum allowable fog level shall be 0.20 D. Should the safe handling time for the films be less than three
minutes. The action to detect and rectify the cause of the fogging and to increase the safe handling time too
greater than three minutes shall be carried out before further processing takes place.

testing shall have be informed and familiar with process data sheets describing the nature of the hazards
associated with the toxicity and flammability of solvent based materials.
The working methods shall be in such way to reduce airborne concentrations of solvent. Levels can be
significantly reduced by spraying the penetrant directly into a Small paint brush and then painting the surfaces of
the area to be inspected. Similarly the remover should be applied by spraying into a clean lint free cloth that is
then used to wipe away the. Excess penetrant from the test area.
Technicians should take care when using backlight and shall avoid looking directly at the light source. Filters
should be checked regularly and any cracked or damaged filters must be replaced.
7. TECHNICAL EXAINATION
7.1. Surface preparation
The surface to be examined may remain in the as-welded, as-forged condition. However, if there are surface
irregularities which could mask indications or other unacceptable discontinuities, surface preparation by grinding
or machining or other methods will be necessary.
7.2. Pre-cleaning
Prior to liquid penetrant examination, the surface to be examined and all adjacent areas within I inch shall be
cleaned to remove any dirt, grease lint, scale, welding flux, weld spatter, oil paint or other substance which could
interfere with the examination.
Typical pre cleaning and post cleaning agent which may be used are detergents, organic solvents, descaling
solution, and paint removers. The cleaning agents used shall meet the contaminant requirements of paragraph 5.
Cleaning may be performed by wiping the surfaces with clean cloth or absorbent paper towel moistened with
liquid penetrant cleaner, or the cleaner may be applied directly to the surface of the part. The part shall then be
allowed to dry for at least two minutes prior to application of the penetrant.
The surface to be examined shall be thoroughly dried before beginning the examination. Drying of the surface
may be accomplished by normal evaporation or by using forced hot air. The temperature of the penetrant and the
part to be examined shall be between 40°F and 125°F.

PROCEDURE DYE PENETRANT TESTING PROCEDURE
To prevent the penetrant from becoming dry or tacky, it may be necessary to apply additional penetrant during
the specified dwell time. If it actually becomes dry or tacky, the examination shall be considered invalid, the area
re cleaned as specified in the preceding paragraph and reexamined in accordance with this procedure.
Penetrant dwell times shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation but shall not be less
than 10 minutes. The penetrant dye time shall not exceed 60 minutes.
7.5. Drying
The surfaces may be dried by normal evaporation, or wiping. A minimum of five minutes drying time shall be
allowed before application of the developer.
7.6.1. After the penetrant removal and drying operation has been completed, the developer shall be
applied by spraying only.
7.6.2. The developer shall be avoided thoroughly agitated to assure that the solids are in liquid suspension
prior to application.
7.6.3. Heavy coatings of developer shall be avoided. Only enough developer shall be evenly applied to
produce a thin uniform white layer and to cover all traces of metallic luster. While applying the
developer, the nozzle should be held at a distance of 12 to 16 inches from the examination surface.
7.6.4. The developing time shall be a minimum of 7 minutes and a maximum of 30 minutes. Interpretation
of examination results for acceptance must be made within this time period. Developing time for
final interpretation begins immediately after the wet developer becomes dry.
7.6.5. The surface being examined should be observed during the developing period to detect the nature of
indications which bleed out.
7.6.6. Precautions should be taken to prevent any object from touching the dry developer film because it is
very brittle, loosely held, and easily damaged.
Where tests are conducted using colour contrast penetrants the area to be tested shall be evenly illuminated by
daylight or by artificial light from either tungsten or fluorescent light sources. The level of illumination at the
surface being tested should not be less than 500 lux. As a guide this level of illumination can be achieved with
100 watts tungsten filament lamp at a distance of 0.2 metres.
Where fluorescent penetrants are use the area to be tested shall be illuminated using filtered backlight in
subdued background lighting with a maximum intensity of 10 lux. The backlight intensity at the surface to be
This document is the property of BECA Libya; no part of it shall be reproduced or transmitted without prior written BECA Libya’s authorization.
PCI‐PR‐13/00 Page 6 of 17
PROCEDURE DYE PENETRANT TESTING PROCEDURE
examined shall be measured at least once every eight hours or whenever the work location is changed, using a
meter which is sensitive to light in the ultraviolet spectrum and centered on 365 nanometers (mm) - (3650). The
backlight intensity at the examination surface, 380 mm from the face of the filter, shall not be less than
800uW/cm2. The backlight shall be switched on and allowed to warn up for at least five minutes before use.
To enable his eyes to become accustom to the conditions the technician performing the examination shall
spend a minimum of five minutes in the area of subdued lighting before carrying out the examination.
7.9.1. Mechanical discontinuities on the surface are revealed by gliding out of the penetrant,
however, localized surface discontinuities, such as machining marks, surface conditions, or an
incomplete bond between base metal and cladding, may produce similar indications which are not
relevant.
7.9.2. Mechanical discontinuities are actual or real openings in the surfaces of the material such as
cracks, laps, slag, porosity, incomplete fusion, etc. Any interruption in the normal physical
structure of the material (weld or base metal) will cause detectable penetrant indications.
7.9.3. Any indication in excess of the acceptance standards, which is believed to be no relevant, shall be
re-examinated to verify whether or not actual defects are present. Surface conditioning may precede
the re-examination.
7.9.4. Relevant indications are indications which result from imperfections. Linear indications are
indications in which the length equal to or less than three times the wide.
The technician carrying out the test shall be responsible for ensuring that acceptable standards of housekeeping
are met and shall remove the residue of testing immediately after the completion of the examination.

Sheet : 3 of 3
1.Scope
To obtain maximum corrosion resistance the duplex surface should be perfectly clean, not contaminated
and without surface defects and imperfections. Welding and processing of duplex influence the
composition of the surface and weaken the corrosion resistance of the metal. To fully restore the corrosion
resistance of duplex steel, a chemical surface treatment (pickling and passivation) is necessary.
Mechanical techniques such as polishing, grinding and shotpeening do not restore the resistance to
localized attack up to the level of the base material.
