PROCEDURE Sheet : 3 of 4

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

5-15°C max relative humidity 60%

15-25°C max relative humidity 50%

Above 25°C max relative humidity 40%

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.

Mild steel rutile and acid electrodes normally need no redrying.

Cellulose electrodes must not be redried.

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

STORAGE AND HANDLING OF COVRED ELECTRODES Rev N°: 00


PROCEDURE Sheet : 3 of 4

These electrodes should be scrapped.

Redrying temperatures and holding times are specified on the label and in the product specification.

The redrying temperature is the temperature in the bulk of electrodes.

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.

It is recommended not to redry covered electrodes more than three times.

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:

I. Electrodes that have been redried.


II. Electrodes that have been removed from their hermetically-sealed container.
III. Electrodes that are considered to be in good condition and are transferred directly from store room after
unpacking.
Holing oven temperature: 120-150°C.

The issuing control of filler metal will be recorded “filler metal withdrawal log sheet” here attached

5. Precautions on site

Keep the electrodes in electrically-heated quivers at a minimum temperature of 70°C.

After work, return the remaining electrodes holding oven.

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.

6. Vacuum Packaging “VacPac” Electrodes

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

STORAGE AND HANDLING OF COVRED ELECTRODES Rev N°: 00


PROCEDURE Sheet : 3 of 4

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.

Cut open the protective foil at one end.

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.

7. Store entry and issuing control

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.

Location markers which are to appear as radiographic images on the film, shall be placed on the part, not on the
cassette and their locations shall be marked on the surface of the part being radiographed and / or a map, in a
manner permitting the area of interested on a radiograph to be accurately traceable to its location on the part,
and provide evidence on the radiograph that the required coverage of the region being examined has
been obtained . When inaccessibility prevents markers being placed on the part, a dimensional map shall be
constructed to accompany the graphs and show that full coverage has been attained.

7.2. Quality of Radiographs


All radiographs shall be free from mechanical, chemical, or other blemishes to the extent that they cannot mask or
be confused with the image of any discontinuity in the area of interest in the radiograph. Such blemishes include,
but are not limited to the following:

(1) fogging
(2) Processing defects such as streaks, water marks, or chemical stains.
(3) Scratches, finger marks, crimps, dirtiness, static marks, smudges, or tears.
(4) Loss of detail due to poor screen-to-film contact.
(5) False indications due to defective screens or internal faults.

7.2.1. Film type, length and width


AGFA GEVEART D4 Films or equivalent shall be used for the radiographic testing. Film shall have sufficient
length and shall be placed to provide at least ½ in (12 mm) of film beyond the projected edge of the weld.

In the image of the length of weld under examination the film density corresponding to the sound weld metal shall
be not less than 2.0 and not greater than 4.0.

Film density shall be judged either by comparison with a suitable step wedge comparison film or a
calibrated densitometer .

7.2.4. Geometrical Unsharpness


As provided in ASME V, geometric unsharpness of the radiograph shall be determined as follows:

Ug = Fd/D
Where:
Ug = Geometric unsharpness
F = Source size: the maximum projected dimension of the radiating source ( or effective focal spot) in the
plane perpendicular to the distance D from the weld or object being radiographed , in.
D = Distance from source of radiation to weld or object being radiographed, in.
d = Distance from source side of weld or object being radiographed to the film, in.

7.2.5. Geometrical Unsharpness limitations


Geometric unsharpness of the radiograph shall not exceed 0,020 in. for material thickness under 2 in being
radiographed to the film.

7.2.6. Object to Film Distance


The film shall be placed on the weld surface. The distance between the film and the adjacent surface shall be as
small as possible. Where pipes are radiographed by the double wall double image method the object to film
distance shall be taken to be the outside diameter of the pipe.

7.2.7. Overlap of film


Welds longer than 14 in .(350 mm ) may be radiographed by overlapping film cassettes and making a single
exposure, or by using single film cassettes and making separate exposures. The provisions of 6.17.5 shall apply

7.2.8. Sensitivity and use of IQI's

quality of the radiograph shall be such that the penetrameter image shall be displayed on the radiograph.

The Image Quality Indicator (IQI) shall be in accordance with ASME V article2 Table T276. It shall be of DIN
wire type.

The selected IQI shall be in accordance with the material thickness and techniques of radiography. Minimum
sensitivity shall be maintained to 2%.

The IQI shall be placed on source side adjacent to the weld seam. Where inaccessibility prevents placing the IQI
on the source side, it shall be placed on the film side and a lead letter F’ placed adjacent to the IQI.

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‐15/00 Page 7 of 15
PROCEDURE RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING PROCEDURE

One IQI shall be used for each radiograph including single wall where the ID equals the DSF: At least three IQI
shall be used in the panoramic technique equally spaced around the circumference.

The Image Quality Indicator shall be placed on source side adjacent to the weld.

Each penetrameter shall represent an area of uniform radiograph varies by more than minus 15% to 30% from the

6.2.c than an additional penetrameter shall be used for each exceptional area or areas and the radiograph retaken.

The IQI shall be selected and placed on the weldment in the area of interest being radiographed.

7.2.9. Lead Screens


Intensifying screens shall be used in all techniques; their thickness range shall be in accordance with article 2,
Section V of ASME.

7.3. Identification of Radiographs


A radiograph identification mark and two location identification marks shall be placed on the steel at each
radiograph location. A corresponding radiograph identification mark and two location identification marks, all of
which shall show in the radiograph, shall be produced by placing lead numbers or letters, or both, over each of the
identical identification and location marks made on the steel to provide a means for matching the developed
radiograph to the weld. Additional identification information may be pre-printed no less than ¾ in (20 mm) from
the edge of the weld or shall be produced on the radiograph by placing lead figures on the steel. Information
required to show on the radiograph shall include the owner’s contract identification, initials of the fabricator, the
fabricator shop order number, the radiographic identification mark, the date, and the weld repair number, if
applicable.

Each section of a weld to be radiographed shall have suitable symbols affixed to identify on the radiograph:

1/ the job work places


2/ Weld item number
3/ ISO number
4/ Client's name / location
5/ Date of the radiography
6/ Welders N° ...
The symbols consisting of lead letters or numerals shall be positioned so that their image appears in the
radiograph to ensure unequivocal identification of the section .

The position of the weld portion under examination shall be positively located by means of a metric stretch
graduated in each 5 cm.

7.4. Marking of examined Pieces


The usual method of marking is by the use of paint sticks or similar permanent markers. The use of stamping or
centre punching shall not be permitted unless specifically indicated on relevant fabrication specifications. Care
should be taken to evaluate the compatibility between some paint or permanent markers and some types of
materials.

For Duplex marks will be written on the adjacent coated section to avoid any risk of contamination.

8. PROCESSING
After exposure of radiograph, the processing represents the most important stage of the radiographic technique; in
fact any virtual defect might impair the final result.

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‐15/00 Page 8 of 15
PROCEDURE RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING PROCEDURE

The processing could be interfered with several parameters.

8.1. Darkroom conformity


Prior to any processing inside the darkroom, the operator shall conduct a visual inspection of the darkroom, with
all lights off, to make sure that the environment is completely obscured; otherwise he has to take corrective
actions.

ƒ 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.
ƒ Switch on the safelights and draw the card across the film to expose a strip approximately 5cm wide.
ƒ After one minute move the card to expose a second strip approximately 5 cm wide
ƒ Repeat the action until four strips has been exposed, leaving approximately 4 cm unexposed.
ƒ Process the film
ƒ 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.

8.2. Handling of before exposure


All unexposed film, whether pre packed with lead screens or folder wrapped, shall be handled with extreme care
to avoids any damage emulsion. In particular, care shall be taken to mitigate the following:

ƒ High temperature of the storage area before handling


ƒ Physical damage caused by bending, scratching or indentation of the surface.
ƒ Contamination of the emulsion by water, grease or chemicals on the hands of the darkroom technician
or working surfaces.
ƒ Static electrical discharge
Films shall be unloaded from cassettes or envelopes and placed in hangers before being developed. The loading
of hangers shall take place in a designated 'dry area' of the darkroom, remote from the processing unit.

Lead screens shall be checked before use for surface contamination, scratching, kinks or dust. Damaged screens
shall be withdrawn from service immediately.

Cassettes shall be checked immediately before loading for cuts, splits or pinholes. The interior shall be free from
grit particles or other matter that may cause indentation of lead screens.

8.3. Manual Processing of Radiographic Film


Prior to the processing of any radiographic film the darkroom technician must make sure that:

ƒ The conformity of the darkroom as detailed in Para 7.1.


ƒ The cassettes are free fro; dirt grease or any foreign body that may interfere with the films and also the
chemical products
ƒ That chemical temperatures and levels are correct and that the condition of the chemicals is satisfactory
according manufacturers technical data.

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‐15/00 Page 9 of 15
PROCEDURE RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING PROCEDURE

ƒ The safelights are working.

8.3.1. Processing time and temperature


The film density depend on three main parameters first the exposure second processing time and the third the
temperature of developer, so in order to get standardized acceptable density we have to monitor closely all these
parameters.

8.3.2. Processing Stages


ƒ Place films into developer solution and agitate for approximtly15 seconds to remove any air bubbles
from the surface of the film. After that, agitate the films for 10 seconds every minute until development
is completed. On completion of development, remove the films from the developer and drain excess
developer solution for 10 seconds over the developing bath.
ƒ On completion of draining immerse the radiographs into the water rinse bath for a minimum of one
minute to stop the developing agent action. Remove radiographs from the water, drain for 10 seconds
over the rinse bath.
ƒ Place radiographs into the fixer solution and agitate for approximately 15 seconds. After that, agitate
for 10 seconds every minute until fixation is completed. To ensure complete fixation and good Harding
the fixing time shall be twice the clearing time. On completion of fixation, remove radiographs from
foxing solution and drain excess fixer solution for 10 seconds over the fixing bath.
ƒ Immerse the radiographs in the wash bath, in running water for a minimum of twenty (20) minutes to
remove the residue of processing chemicals.
ƒ On completion of washing, transfer the radiographs to the photo-flo bath and completely immerse for
30 seconds. Remove the radiographs from the photo-flow and drain excess liquid over the photo-flo
bath.
ƒ The radiographs shall be dried.
ƒ Drying has an important bearing on the quality of the finished radiograph. When wet the emulsion of
the radiograph is delicate and easily marked, extreme care should be taken when transferring wet
radiographs to the drying cabinet.
ƒ Once dried, the radiographs shall be forwarded to the level II Inspector for interpretation

8.3.3. Control of Developer Solution


The date when the developing solution was mixed shall be recorded. The maximum working life of the
developing solution, with correct replenishment shall not exceed three months. The maximum quantity of film
processed in anyone mixture of developer shall not exceed the equivalent, by surface area, of 600 10 x 48cm
films.

Where necessary the chemical balance and actual volume of the developer shall be maintained during the working
life of the solution by the addition of a replenishing agent. Only replenishing agents formulated by and supplied
by the manufacture of the developer and specified as compatible for use with the developing agent shall be used.

8.3.4. Control of Fixing Solution


Fixing solutions shall normally be discarded when the developing solution is changed.

PROCEDURE RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING PROCEDURE

8.3.5. Film drying


A wetting agent shall be used in the final stage of washing to promote, satisfactory drying of radiographs.

9. VIEWING RADIOGRAPHS
The radiograph shall be examined by diffused light sufficient for the essential Image Quality Indicator wire to be
visible for the specified density range the edges of the radiograph shall always be masked.

Viewing of radiography shall be carried out under subdued lighting conditions and care shall be taken to minimise
the reflection of light from the film to film reader.

For examination of radiographs, viewing illuminators shall be in compliance with applicable standards.

A densitometer and a control film strip (or grey wedges) for densitometer calibration shall be available all the
time.

10. PROTECTION
As exposure of any part of the human body X Rays or Gamma-Rays can be injurious , it is essential that
whenever X-Ray equipment for radioactive sources are in use adequate precautions are taken to protect the
radiographer and others in the vicinity.

PROCEDURE DYE PENETRANT TESTING PROCEDURE

ƒ The total residual amount of sulfurs, chlorine and fluorine shall be determined by chemical analysis in
accordance with ASME Section V Paragraph T-625. Contaminants permitted in liquid penetrant materials shall
not exceed the percent by weight when examining titanium and austenitic stainless steels. The total amount of
sulfur shall not exceed one percent by weight when examining nickel base alloys.

ƒ Certification of contaminant content for all penetrant materials shall be obtained from the manufacturer and
shall be kept in the project file .The certifications shall include the penetrant manufacturer's batch numbers and
the test results required by T-625 (ASME Section V).

ƒ The penetrant testing material shall be by the same company

6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In accordance with the Control of Chemical Substances (CCS) all technicians employed involved in penetrant
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.
ƒ 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.

7.3. Penetrant application


ƒ The penetrant shall be applied to the surface to be examined by spraying, brushing, or dipping.

PCI‐PR‐13/00 Page 5 of 17
PROCEDURE DYE PENETRANT TESTING PROCEDURE

ƒ 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.

ƒ 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.

7.4. Removal of Excess Penetrant


ƒ After the minimum stipulated soak time has elapsed, the excess penetrant shall be removed. The bulk of the
penetrant shall be removed by wiping the surface lightly with a dry lint free cloth or absorbent paper moistened
with solvent. Repeating the operation until most traces of penetrant have been removed. The remaining excess
penetrant and traces shall be removed by wiping with a lint free cloth sprayed with penetrant remover. The
remover shall not be sprayed directly onto the area to be examined.

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. Application of Developer


The developer shall be applied by spraying a thin regular coating sufficient to obscure the surface to be tested.
The developer shall remain in contact with the surface to be tested for the minimum period stipulated by the
manufacturer or for the period shown on the appropriate technique sheet whichever is greater.

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.

7.7. Viewing Conditions


7.7.1. Colour Contrast Penetrants

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.

7.7.2. Fluorescent Penetrants

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

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.

7.8. Temperature Limitations


The temperature of the component to be tested shall not exceed 40°C.
Penetrant testing shall not be carried out below the minimum temperature. Recommended by the manufacturer of
the preparation in use. However at temperatures where condensation is likely to occur on the surface of the
component to be tested particular care shall be exercised to ensure that the component is thoroughly dried.

7.9. Interpretation of results


The true sizes of discontinuities are difficult to evaluate if the penetrant diffuses excessively into the developer.
Consequently the surfaces shall be closely observed during the application of developer to monitor the behavior
of indications' that bleed-out profusely. The final interpretation shall be made after allowing the penetrant too
bleed-out for a minimum of fifteen minutes. If the surface to be examined is too large to allow complete
examination within the prescribed time the surface shall be examined in portions.
Defects on the surface to be examined will be revealed as red stains in the white developer back ground. An
indication of a discontinuity may be larger than the discontinuity that caused it, however, the size of the indication
and not the size of the discontinuity is the basis for acceptance or rejection;

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.

7.9.5. Sufficient illumination shall be provided to adequately observe examination results.

7.10. Post cleaning


After interpretation of the surface being examined by an NDT Level II or Level III, excess examination
materials shall be removed. Most of the developer can be removed by simply wiping the surface with a dry cloth
or paper towel. Final cleaning shall be accomplished by using a penetrant cleaner in any suitable manner
necessary to remove all the liquid penetrant materials.

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.

2. Reference Documentation
¾ ASTM A 380 Standard practice for cleaning , descaling and passivation of stainless steel parts,
equipment and system
¾ TOTAL FINA ELF Specification GS PVV 614

3. Pickling & Passivation

3.1. Product characteristics


The chemical cleaning is complete, total & nearly fume-less Confirms to ASTM A380
These products are completely free From CHLORIDES.
The use of these products is extremely safe for workmen and the operators.
The chemicals contain anti fuming agents, wetting agents, surfactants & corrosion inhibitors.
The treatment removes built in corrosion spots, welding burn, black stains on the weld-joints.
The treatment leaves a uniform, bright, shinning & smooth surface, with added corrosion resistance.
The chemical and physical properties of the metal remain unchanged.
Minimum wire brushing is required on applying of the cleaner.

3.2 Application instructions


It is recommended that the component/ Surface area to be pickled & passivated shall be cleaned by using
a solution of degreaser. This treatment will not only offer excellent results of pickling but also increases
the shinning on steel.
After the general degreasing, cleaning and removal of the organic and metallic residues a layer of
chemicals may be applied by Paint Brush, Nylon Brush, after 15 to 60 mn (reaction time) wash carefully
with water.
Clean the Brush after use
Wash the cleaning equipment with water.
N.B: mixing of chemicals shall be made only by wooden or Nylon sticks ( do not use metallic stick)
4.Safety uses & handling
Passivation should only be performed by experienced technicians familiar with the potential hazards
associated to this practice.
Safety practice ( in accordance with product MSDS) must be fully understood when handling passivation
chemicals
Operators must use all the protective gear, face-shield, goggles, gloves and rubber aprons etc. While
using & handling of these chemicals.

GENERAL NOTES :

¾ For specific welding requirements refer to Project Specification GS PVV 614

¾ Socket Welds – A minimum 1.5 mm gap shall be maintained on all socket joints in
accordance with ASME B31.3 Fig.328.5.2C. A minimum of two weld layers are mandatory.

¾ Alignment of girth butt welds – were ends of piping components to be joined by girth butt
welds have international misalignment exceeding 1.6mm, the inside diameters of the
components shall be transitioned so that internal surface are within 1.6mm

¾ Branch Connection Fit-Ups – Shall be inspected after tacking and on completion of root run.

¾ Welder’s Symbols- Each qualified welder and welding operator shall be assigned a unique
identification symbol. Each weld shall be marked with the identification symbol of the
welder or welding operator. in lieu of marking the welds, appropriate records shall be field

¾ Temporary Coating – Substances (e.g, coating to prevent adhesion of weld spatter)


containing chlorine or which will decompose to hydrogen chloride shall not be applied to any
material of construction. Substance containing sulfur (e.g lubricants to aid machining) shall
not be applied to duplex.

¾ The Inter pass temperature for duplex Stainless Steel shall not exceed 150°C.
