Gas Co. Ltd. DIMENSIONAL CONTROL PROCEDURE

1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines and methods to be employed
when carrying out dimensional inspection of pipe joints during the Quality Control
monitoring process against Customer specification and Inspection and Test Plan
requirements for Greenville’s INSTALLATION OF ERES 0.25 MTPA LNG PLANT 1 AND
2 project.

2. SCOPE
The scope of this procedure will generally cover dimensions for: - pipe lengths, pipe
ends (squareness), diameter (outside or inside), straightness, out of roundness and
wall thickness.

3. RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of the quality control inspector to carry out these activities in
order to evaluate dimensional tolerances and acceptability of pipe joints using an
agreed frequency as directed by the QA/QC Supervisor.

Prior to any dimensional inspection being carried out, the quality control inspector
shall have reviewed applicable project specifications to establish the dimensions and
tolerances for the pipe joints being inspected.

4. DEFINITIONS

IOX: Iron Ox Metal Works Limited

ITP: Inspection and Test Plan

5. PROCEDURE

a) Length and Straightness

Measurements shall be made using a taut string or wire from end to end and using
an equally spaced standoff along the side of the pipe, measuring the greatest
deviation. This shall be repeated in two plains set 90° apart.

b) Out of Roundness
i. Out-of-roundness shall be measured approximately 25mm from the ends
of the pipe.

ii. Out-of-roundness shall be measured by taking a minimum of 4 measurements

preferably where diameter looks minimum and maximum, utilizing either a bar
gauge, caliper, measuring steel tape, an electronic out-of-roundness gauge, or

other approved device capable of measuring the actual minimum and maximum
diameters.

iii) The maximum tolerance is applied to the difference between the minimum
and maximum measurement obtained from the same cross section.

c) Pipe Diameter at Ends

i) Outside diameter/Inside diameter, measurements by diameter tape at least
once on each pipe joint which is to be measured. The measurement is to
approximately within 25mm from the end of the pipe joint.

ii) Measurements shall be made with a diameter tape.

d) Wall Thickness
i) The wall thickness at any place shall be within the tolerances specified,
except that the weld area shall not be limited to the plus tolerance.

ii) Measurements shall be made with a mechanical caliper or calibrated NDT

device. In case of dispute, the mechanical caliper shall govern.

e) Long Seams of Welded Pipe Joints

i) Peaking effect (local out-of-roundness) shall be measured by a profile plate
or gauge.

iii) Seam weld reinforcement (internal and external) shall be ground flush over
a length defined by
the project specification, the length shall be checked by the means of a
tape.

f) Squareness
i) Squareness of pipe ends shall be checked with a straight edge and
square.

MEASURING EQUIPMENT
a) The accuracy of all measuring instruments used for acceptance/rejection
shall be certified and verified prior to use. The applied definition of which
measuring equipment is adjustable and non-adjustable shall be documented.
The accuracy verification of rules, length measuring tapes and other non-
adjustable measuring devices, shall be defined as a visual check of marking
legibility and the general wear of the fixed reference point. The verification of
working gauges (adjustable equipment) shall be documented.

a) Measuring equipment, whose calibration or verification accuracy is

questionable (during use), re-calibration or re-verification shall be performed
before further use of the equipment

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
a) Where only part of the supply is to be measured, then the number of pipes
selected for checking shall be statistically relevant of the total quantity
selected at random.

The arithmetical average length should be established.

The standard deviation shall be established. Where the deviation is out with the
normal distribution, this shall be noted and analyzed.

AREA OF PIPE MEASUREMENT

a) For out-of-roundness and wall thickness measuring, at least four clock
positions shall be measured at 90 degree spacing.

DEVIATION FROM TOLERANCE LIMITS

a) Deviations in tolerance involving excessive length shall be rectified by
cutting to specified length and beveled to the required angle.
b) Deviations in tolerance involving over shortness shall be
rejected/discarded and the material re-procured.
c) Deviations in tolerance involving out of roundness,wall thickness or
damage shall be rejected/discarded and material re-procured.

REJECTED PIPE
a) Should any pipe be deemed unacceptable for any reason (i.e. Out of Round,
Wall thickness etc) an over short and damage report (OSD) shall be raised to
reflect the cause for rejection.

REFERENCES

a) Project Inspection and Test Plan (ITP)

b) This procedure is based on the general guidelines of the 'API Specification 5L',
specification for line pipe.

c) Acceptability levels shall always be according to the project technical

specification for the item under inspections
Definitions of: out of roundness, ID, OD, diameter tapes, squareness etc... Are as
defined within API specification 5L or in the 'absence' of such as described
Here in.

d) Dimensional control shall be within tolerances as specified in PFI-ES.3.
