ITEM No. B7

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Prior to final inspection & pressure test, new vessel internal and external surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned. Any slag, scale, dirt, grit, spatter, paint, oil, and construction aids are removed. Vessel Trim (associated piping) receives a strength test except in Utility services and less when a service test can be conducted. Note: Vessel Trim piping pressure tests are often overlooked Sampling piping systems are pressure tested as an integral part of the equipment to which it is connected. All welded attachments with telltale holes shall be pneumatically tested at minimum 35 kPa (5 psi) prior to heat treatment and vessel pressure testing. Telltale holes are OPEN during pressure test. This is a Bubble Leak test per SAIC-A-2005/A-2021/A-2023 Shellacs, glues, lead, etc.are not applied on gaskets during testing. Gaskets and bolting materials are as specified on data sheet. Note: Gaskets may be used as service gaskets if the bolted joint is not disassembled after testing, example: Sumps, etc. Vertical vessels tested in horizontal position are supported such that primary stresses in any part of the vessel do not exceed 90% of minimum specified yield strength of the vessel material. Horizontal vessels shall be tested while resting on their permanent support saddles without additional supports or cribbing. Equipment or parts that are clad shall be hydrotested with water having chloride content not greater than 50 ppm. Fin fan exchangers are strength tested in-situ before final acceptance for all new projects. HOLD POINT. See Attachment 1 Jacketed Vessel exams & hydrotest sequence are planned and detailed in design & during hydrotesting (per test procedure). A) Inner vessel construction & hydrotesting is completed prior to outer jacket installation and hydrotesting. B) Construction sequence allows 100% visual inspection of welds during hydrotest. Jacket design & installation is carefully planned. [Reference: ASME VIII, UG-99 sect. (e)]

Attachment 1 - IN-SITU TESTING & CARE OF FIN FAN COOLERS


1. Follow these simple guidelines to assure good test results. 2. Make certain Fin Fans (on arrival) were treated very carefully. 3. Inspect the load on arrival for proper preservation & damage
The internals of exchangers shall be protected from corrosion by use of a non-toxic vapor phase corrosion inhibitor such as CORTEC VCI-309 or 307 or equivalent, applied at a rate of 0.1 kg/m fogged into the space. The inhibitor selected must be appropriate for the metallurgy of the exchanger. Exchangers must be sealed vapor tight for the inhibitor to be effective. Alternatively, nitrogen blanketing or temporary coatings in accordance with MIL-C-16173-D Grade IV (example Tectyl 846) may be used. Corrosion inhibitors for use on exchangers with stainless steel & monel tubes must be chloride free, suitable for its intended use & not result in crevice corrosion. 32-SAMSS-011, Sect. 11 Stainless steel exchangers shall be protected from salt water and salt water spray during shipment. 32-SAMSS-011, Sect. 11

4. Fin Fan Coolers can "twist" if improperly lifted. BEWARE!!!


Properly equipped cranes with "spreader" bars are used for unloading. NEVER ALLOW FORK TRUCK UNLOADING. Follow detailed manufacturer handling and preservation requirements ... OR YOU CAN COUNT ON ADDED COST DUE TO TUBE/TUBESHEET LEAKS!!!

5. First thing, before it leaves the truck it arrives on! Inspection (camera) a) Look at the top row of tubes. They should be VERY, VERY STRAIGHT! b) If they aren't straight, i.e., bowed ... MAJOR PROBLEM! c) Don't even let it be unloaded BEFORE YOU TAKE PICTURES. d) Look at underside of the tubes, specifically the tube supports. e) Severe shipping damage will result in "dislodged" support members. 6. Transit & erection clips & fasteners are checked closely for damage. MAKE YOUR CLAIM RIGHT AWAY! TAKE EXTRA* PRECAUTIONS!
* The first one arrived damaged ... YOU CAN COUNT ON ALL OF THEM COMING THIS WAY "UNLESS YOU ACT QUICKLY". * All the Quality intentions in the world won't fix a badly mishandled Fin Fan Cooler.

*PLAN Proactive supervision at handling points to assure they arrive ok. 7. UNLOAD & STORE ON HARD & EXTREMELY LEVEL SITES ALWAYS. a) Use good blocks (no nails). Make sure extra support is there & level. b) NEVER exceed more a few meters between blocks. 8. Plan staging areas close to Units to minimize handling

OK, YOU DIDN'T DO SO WELL ... ORDER EXTRA PLUGS & PRAY!!! OK, YOU MADE IT THIS FAR OK ... NOW PRESERVATION EFFORT 9. Corrosion Inhibitors can solidify, beware of opening these up. 10. Limit opening for "fit up" & piping work to good dry weather. 11. Keep system closed except when absolutely necessary. 12. Plan Test at test pressure on Manufacturer's Stamp.
If Chemical Cleaning (usually around 90 psi) is req'd, utilize this opportunity to meet the reqmt. (it's usually close enough) Perform testing in accordance with good lay-up practices. Be Prepared to pull plugs and allow Proponent a visual exam. Water removal after testing at low points can be assured by spool dropouts. Test as close to start-up as practical. ALWAYS HAVE EXTRA PLUGS ON HAND (OR OVERNIGHT ACCESS AVAILABLE) IN THE EVENT OF TUBE/TUBESHEET LEAKS.
