Post Test Reinstatement Procedure & Checklist is required

to be developed in accordance with & as part of pressure testing.
This is a pressure testing procedure & test package component to
be developed during package creation as based on workscope &
SAEP-1160,

Section 8
Comment: A standard post-test checklist
does not provide a procedure for reinstatement. A detailed
procedure to give clear field direction along with a checklist for
this activity shall be submitted before the start of work.

Inspection strategies & plans shall be prepared and agreed on prior to

SAES-L-350,
A2 commencing of fabrication and erection. This is in common with
Para. 17.2
Pipelines. Pipelines simply follow their reinstatement procedure.

Specifically, Procedure shall detail PLAN or STRATEGY to reach

"SYSTEM" COMPLETION (Quality Certification) as efficiently as
possible while accomplishing critical goals of:
A) Effective Water
Removal, Disposal & System Lay-Up (Post Test)
No test fluid shall remain in low spots. Specifically, valve cavities. SAES-L-350,
B) Test Vents and Drains (plugged, seal welded & Para. 17.2 &
A3 PT'd) C) Removal & reconnection of
components All SAES-A-004,
temporary items installed for testing (e.g., manifolds, valves, Section 10
blinds, spacers, supports) shall be removed. Valves Installed. Items that
were removed from testing shall be reinstalled. Items, such as
instrument air tubing, check valve discs reconnected (witnessed). Valve

B SAIC-A-2010 Checklist (Reinstatement Procedure & Checklist item required when bold.)

All joints including welded shall be left exposed for visual leak detection
during the strength test. External coating and priming of such joints are SAES-L-150,
B1 not allowed unless approved by the Manager of Inspection Department Para. 7.3
and the proponent Organization representative. The pipe itself can be
externally primed and coated to a final coat.

The assembly of bolted flange joints shall be in accordance with SAEP- SAES-L-450,
B2
351. Para. 9.4

Drains: Excluding submarine and buried pipelines, drains shall be SAES-L-150,

B3
provided at all low points of the piping system. Para. 6.2

Vents and drain valves, both temporary and permanent, conforms with SAES-L-105,
B4
the piping class or rating. ( Refer SAES-L-108) Para. 5.9

Supports: For above ground installation, the piping system shall be

analyzed to foresee whether temporary supports are required during
hydrostatic testing to limit the sustained longitudinal stresses to SAES-L-150,
B5
acceptable limits by the code. If temporary supports are found to be Para. 6.3
needed and more economical than permanent supports, this should be
highlighted in the hydrotesting procedure.

Expansion joints and spring hangers or spring supports shall be

SAES-L-150,
B6 provided with temporary restraints where needed to prevent excessive
Para. 6.4
travel or deformation under the test loads.

Arc strikes, gouges, and other indications of careless workmanship

SAES-W-011,
(such as surface porosity, uneven weld profiles, and undercut) shall be
B7 Para. 11.6 and
removed by grinding and inspected by magnetic particle or liquid
11.9
penetrant method.

SAES-W-011,
Temporary welded attachments to the pipe were ground off and
B8 Para. 11.7 and
inspected by magnetic particle or liquid penetrant method
11.9

All threaded joints and faying surfaces shall be seal welded by a SAES-W-011,
B9
continuous fillet weld (required weep holes shall be left unwelded). Para. 11.15.1

If requested by the proponent, all new valves designated for isolation

SAES-L-108,
B10 service (as specified by the Proponent) shall be subjected to a high
Section 4.7.2
pressure hydrostatic seat test prior to installation in the line.

Filling and pressurizing shall be done on the upstream side of check

valves in the system. The test fluid shall be injected at the lowest point
in the system to minimize entrapped air. When filling at the lowest point SAES-A-004,
B11
is not practical, the Inspection Department/ Operations Inspection Para. 9.1.1
Engineering Unit shall be consulted. All vents shall be open during
filling.

No one shall approach the test area for a minimum of 10 minutes after
the test pressure is reached and before commencement of inspection of
the system, the isolation valve between the temporary test SAES-A-004,
B12
manifold/piping and the piping/equipment under pressure test shall be Para. 9.1.2
closed and the test pump disconnected. The isolation valve downstream
of the manifold shall be opened after the pump is disconnected.

SAES-A-004,
B16 shall be removed, and securely attached to the outside of the check
Para 8.4.3
valve prior to the pressure test.

Flanged connections shall be avoided when butt-welded joints can be

used in services and locations where leaks are likely to occur (e.g.,
cyclic or vibration services), or will cause serious hazard (e.g.,
potentially toxic material), or are difficult to control, such as the
following:
SAES-L-110,
B17 a) Steam in ASME class 900 pressure rating
Para. 8.1

other external loads
d) On buried piping system

Flanged connections with long exposed bolts for sandwiched

components, other than standard spectacle plates and blinds, shall not
SAES-L-110,
B18 be used in fire hazardous areas unless the bolting is protected by a fire

All gauges and recorders shall be calibrated prior to use. The calibration
interval shall not exceed one (1) month prior to the test date and SAES-A-004,
B22 calibration certificates shall be made available to Inspection personnel Para. 8.1.5.1 and

indicating the latest calibration date.

All gauges shall have a range such that the test pressure is within 30 to SAES-A-004,
B23
80% of the full range. Para. 8.1.5.3

A minimum of two pressure gauges are required for the test system.
SAES-A-004,
B24 One pressure gage shall be on the test manifold and the other(s) on the
Para. 8.1.5.4
test system. Their accuracy shall be within 5% of one another.

When large systems are tested, Inspection personnel will determine the SAES-A-004,
B25
need for additional gauges. Para. 8.1.5.5
Pressure and temperature recording gauges shall be used for all buried SAES-A-004,
