1.5 Quality Assurance

A. General

Approved Marafiq fabrication and welding guidelines and methods shall be used in compliance
with project requirements. Project Piping Engineers and Design Supervisors shall monitor and
review the activities of the fabrication shops to ensure that applicable codes, standards, and
procedures are being followed to meet project quality goals.

SHOP FABRICATION AND HANDLING - PROCESS AND UTILITY PIPING

4. Wherever possible, Fabricator shall not position the longitudinal weld seam on the top or
bottom of the line so that branch connections such as couplings and stub-ons are not
located on the seam.

5. Intermediate girth welds in shop spools shall be kept to an absolute minimum, particularly
with the alloy material. The Fabricator shall manage his materials in such a manner as to
avoid such welds. The Marafiq inspector will monitor the fabricator’s effort to comply
with this requirement and report accordingly. The minimum spacing of girth welds shall
be per Marafiq Welding Specification MQ-SP-P-5029.

B. Internal Misalignment

1. Internal misalignment criteria shall be governed by the following:

a. Pipe-to-pipe or pipe-to-fitting DN 600 (NPS 24) and smaller: 1.6 mm (1/16 of an

inch) deviation.

b. Pipe-to-pipe or pipe-to-fitting DN 650 (NPS 26) and larger: 3.2 mm (1/8 of an

inch) deviation.

2. If the deviation factors are exceeded, one of the following procedures shall be used:

a. Rotate the pipe or fittings to reduce misalignment to the acceptable tolerances

(before attempting any of the following methods).

b. Use spreaders, or internal or external lineup clamps to correct moderate out-of-

round condition.

c. Backweld the root pass.

d. Taper the wall of the component internally, after obtaining approval from Marafiq,
to ensure wall thickness is not reduced below the minimum required by the code.

C. Flanges and Fittings

6. Acceptance criteria and evaluation of flange facing finish shall be in accordance with
ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47.

7. Where lap joint stub ends are used, flange stops (same material as pipe) shall be furnished
by fabricator.

D. Reinforcing Pads

Reinforcing pads shall be installed only where called for on the piping drawing. Pad material
shall be the same as the pipe material, unless otherwise authorized by Marafiq. Drawing shall
specify size and pad thickness. It is preferable to have pad shapes similar, but the pad size may
be altered, provided an equivalent cross-sectional area is maintained and code requirements are
met. Each pad, or each piece, if the pad is made from more than one piece, shall have a DN 6
(NPS 1/8) vent hole, drilled and tapped NPT (American National Taper Pipe Thread) prior to
installation (at the side and not at the crotch) of the pad. Each pad or each piece shall be
