Weld Built-Up Procedure

1. Identify all the areas on the channel shell, floating head cover and pass partition plates
(PPP) for weld build up and repairs.

2. Removed all the affected lining and thoroughly clean up the surfaces by power brushing
(or wire brushing for areas non-accessed by power tool). All rusts and scales shall be
removed.

3. Those corroded areas with narrow groove/rough edges shall be ground out (opened up) in
order to allow a good & proper welding.

4. Carry out general preheating to drying up moisture (approximately 80°C~100°C).

5. Proceed with welding (Gasket area, shell & on the PPP).

6. Perform NDT after completion of welding (Dye Penetrat Test).

7. To carry out grinding to remove excess weld metal on the PPP. Ensure that the finishing
is straight & smooth and thicknesses at PPP edge are within required tolerance (to fit into
groove on tube sheet).

8. Perform machining on the gasket face.

9. Perform NDT after machining on the gasket face (Dye Penetrant Tets)

10. Carry out lining repair at the repaired areas on the internal shell/PPP.

11. Install channels & cover to equipment and perform pressure test. Check for leak
especially on the gasket areas.
