Dear Manager,

1) Pipe support pad fouling with longitudinal seam/ Butt weld of the pipe from
manufacturer / Butt weld by Contractor

A) For Process Lines (including Flare lines):

Contractor shall take radiography of the seam length being masked by the pad plus 50 mm
on either side before fixing the pad plate. A suitable groove shall be made longitudinally (for
long seam) or transversally (for butt weld) along the pad to accommodate the seam
reinforcement.

B) For Utility Lines:

Contractor shall grind the weld reinforcement suitably to minimum and carry out DPT of the
seam length being masked by the pad plus 50 mm on either side to fix the shoe support
pad. It is advisable to limit the grinding of weld reinforcement as minimum as possible to
enable fixing of support pad with acceptable fit-up.

2) Pipe support pad fouling with helical /spiral seam of the pipe from manufacturer

A) For Process Lines (including Flare lines):

Contractor shall grind the weld reinforcement suitably to minimum then take radiography of
the seam being masked by the pad plus 50 mm on either side before fixing the pad plate. It
is advisable to limit the grinding of weld reinforcement as minimum as possible to enable
fixing of support pad with acceptable fit-up.

seam length being masked by the pad plus 50 mm on either side to fix the shoe support
pad. It is advisable to limit the grinding of weld reinforcement as minimum as possible to
enable fixing of support pad with acceptable fit-up.

Contractors shall keep all the longitudinal pipe seams on top 120-degree segment during
fit-up of pipes, especially wherever supports are coming to avoid th is type of problems.

3) Branch connection fouling with longitudinal seam/ Butt weld of the pipe from
manufacturer / Butt weld by Contractor

A) For Process Lines (including Flare lines):

Contractor shall cut the hole for the branch in the joint location. They shall then grind the
attached weld reinforcement suitably to minimum and take radiography of the seam being
masked by the reinforcement pad plus 50 mm on either side before fixing the reinforcement
pad plate. It is advisable to limit the grinding of weld reinforcement as minimum as possible
to enable fixing of support pad with acceptable fit-up.

B) For Utility Lines:

Contractor shall cut the hole for the branch in the joint location. They shall then grind the
attached weld reinforcement suitably to minimum and carry out DPT of the seam being
masked by the reinforcement pad plus 50 mm on either side before fixing the reinforcement
pad plate. It is advisable to limit the grinding of weld reinforcement as minimum as possible
to enable fixing of support pad with acceptable fit-up.

Fouling shall be strictly avoided and is not acceptable.

Rakesh kumar
