Quality Time-Out

 DON’T LOCALLY POLISH, GRIND, OR BUFF ON FLANGE GASKET SEATING SURFACES. ONLY USE SOFT-
WIRE HAND BRUSHES TO CLEAN FLANGE FACE SIDE WELDING /FLANGE FACE

SEATING SURFACES. KEEP FLANGE FACE WITH SUITABLE PROTECTION THROUGH ALL STAGES OF
FABRICATION / INSTALLATION OF PIPING.

MECHANICAL DAMAGE ON THE SEATING SURFACE MAY RESULT IN LEAKS DURING HYDRO TESTING,
COMMISSIONING AND START-UP, SO ENSURE THAT THE FLANGE GASKET SEALING FACE IS
PROTECTED TO AVOID ANY DAMAGES TO THE SERRATED SURFACE
