A Preparation for Pressure testing:

StrengthTest Pressure is the test pressure (NEW) indicated in the SAES-A-004,


A1
approved Safety Instruction Sheet. (SAES-A-005, Attach E-1) Para. 9.3

Fin fan exchangers shall be strength tested as specified below:


7.4.5.1 New Construction, refer to Appendix III of SAES-A-004
SAES-A-004,
A2 standard.7.4.5.2 Operating facilities
Para. 7.4.5
Strength tested in situ if the equipment has been transported. Refer
to Attachment 1

Temperature of water during hydrostatic testing is maintained at not 32-SAMSS-011,


A3
less than 17°C throughout the testing cycle. Para. 10.3.11

Hydrostatic test pressure hold for a minimum of one hour per 25 mm


32-SAMSS-011,
A4 of exchanger header thickness & in no case < than 1 hr. API 661
Para.1
Para. 10.3.2

Ensure that the Use of shellacs, glues, lead, etc., on gaskets during 32-SAMSS-011,
A5
testing is not used. Para.10.3.8

Fluids used for pressure testing are as follows:


1) Clean potable water, treated for control of bacteria and corrosion
2) For exchangers with stainless steel, monel or non-ferrous tubes,
the water does not contain more than 50 ppm chlorides. 32-SAMSS-011,
A6
3) For lube-oil and seal-oil exchangers the fluid to be used for Para. 10.3.3
pressure testing is the system fluid.

Strength testing preparation, pressurizing and inspection shall be


performed per SATIP-A-004-04. UTILIZE SAIC-A-2025 as a Pre-
A7 SATIP-E-007-01
Test Checklist & evaluate effectiveness of Fin Fan Cooler care
using Attachment 1.

NOTE: 1- Strength testing preparation, pressurizing & inspection shall be performed per SATIP-A-004-04. USE SAIC-A-2025. As the
opportunity affords itself, this pressure test & evaluation may be performed during the activities of chemical cleaning if pressures used in the
cleaning process will be close enough to that listed on the mfg stamp. Proponent shall be consulted to make this determination & shall concur
with using this method. 2- Use of shellacs, glues, lead, etc., on gaskets during testing is prohibited.

In-Situ Strength Test of Fin Fan Coolers (Preparation) SAIC-E-2010 30-Apr-17 MECH-

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/m³ 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!!!


5. First thing, before it leaves the truck it arrives on! Inspection (camera)
6. Transit & erection clips & fasteners are checked closely for damage.
*PLAN Proactive supervision at handling points to assure they arrive ok.
7. UNLOAD & STORE ON HARD & EXTREMELY LEVEL SITES ALWAYS.
8. Plan staging areas close to Units to minimize handling
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.
