1. INTRODUCTION
2. PURPOSE
This specification defines the requirements for piping supports standard of piping systems
to be used during detailed engineering and construction stages for the implementation of
the Amenam / Kpono Gas export Phase of the Project.
These principles and guidelines are to be considered as minimum requirements. So it is
expected that CONTRACTOR / VENDOR / package SUPPLIER shall submit to
COMPANY, for agreement, all possible solutions that could give technical or economical
improvement.
3. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
The following listed specifications shall be used in conjunction with this specification:
• NG21-X00C-APX-X00-201 General basis of design
• NG21-X00C-ST-L-X00-002 Piping material classes

6. GENERAL NOTES
6.3 All base plate and top plate attached to stanchions and hangers are to be field welded
where possible to facilitate site adjustment of supports.
6.4 NEOPRENE packing to be bonded to clamp internals by adhesive that can withstand
temperature upto 200°C. NEOPRENE shall be flushed with top and bottom of clamp.
6.6 Welding.
All supports to be of welded construction, unless otherwise approved.
All welds to be continuous fillet unless noted otherwise. Weld size to be 0.7 x ‘ e’ wherein
‘e’ correspond to the less thicker plate being welded. But in no case less than 6mm.
The sections and plates used for the fabrication shall preferably be shaped by machining.
Other methods may be employed provided an acceptably smooth finish is obtained. Where
welding is to take place. The edges and surfaces shall be free from tears, slag, scale or
any other imperfection likely to adversely affect the welding.
Attachments to stress-relieved pipe or equipment must be undertaken prior to
commencement of stress relieving.
Precautions shall be taken such that pipe wall is not penetrated when welding
attachments/fittments to it.
The procedure for welding and examination of pipe support attachments to structure steel
shall be in accordance with project specification.

6.10 Temperature limits are based on allowable temperature limitation of material at support
contact point, limits are as follows:
a) GRP pipes 48°F (8.9°C) to 200°F (93.3°C).
b) Clamps with Neoprene for S.S. pipes from 48°F (8.9°C) to 240°F (115°C).
c) Welded supports for C.S./S.S. pipes from 48°F (8.9°C) to 572°F (300°C).
d) Clamps type for L.T.C.S. pipes from -50°F (46°C) to 400°F (204°C), except specifics
cases due to loads or large diameters.
e) Steel piping fabrication: GSPVV111
f) Design and erection of GLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC PIPING SYSTEM: GSPVV178
6.12 Doubler plates on structure will be required when a support is to be welded to primary steel
work (special, first category, S450 or S355 steel).The material for these doubler plates
shall be similar or equivalent to the structure material which they are to be attached.
Doubler plate S355 is acceptable on primary steel S450. Unless noted otherwise the
doubler plates shall be 50mm more than the dimension of the incoming member foot print
all around. Plate shall have 50mm radius corners.
6.13 Tolerances
The fabricating tolerances shall not exceed those listed below:
For dimensions upto and including 600 mm ± 1.5 mm
For dimensions over 600mm ± 3.0 mm
Tolerance on hole center ± 1.5 mm
6.14 Direct contact between stainless steel pipe, duplex pipe and structural steel /U-Bolts/clamp
is not allowed, (use of protection shields to be consider)
6.15 Ubar, Ubolts, washer, bolts and nuts shall be zinc-coated and bi-chromated ZN 12/C/FE in
compliance with NFE 25-009 or ASTM F871 & B633 (FE ZN 12-SC3) and paint as per
system P06, on SPEC NG 21 X00C SP X X00 001.
6.16 Painting or doubler plate shall always be provided for duplex piping support and SS piping
supports.
