shell / dished end, which shall not deviate more than 1(degree).
7.3.3 For all flush nozzles, the inside profile shall be pre-matched by grinding with inside profile
of the tank before taking up of any welding of the nozzle with the tank. The intersection
profile of the nozzle shall not be achieved/ altered by grinding (or any other means) after
welding the nozzle to the tank.

to 4 in. The openings (rough size) in tank for large (> 4in.) diameter nozzles may be
Page 14 of 53
achieved by plasma cutting, wherever mechanical process cannot be adopted. However it
may be ensured that HAZ( heat affected zone) is removed by grinding. All large diameter
nozzles openings shall be finished to final size preferably by machine boring or by
grinding, wherever machine boring is not possible.
7.3.5 The nozzle setup should be done with the inside profile matching and edge preparation of

APPENDIX-A: Technical Specification for ER 308L Filler Wire
1. Scope:
This specification covers the technical requirements for austenitic stainless steel filler wire
(ER308L) for use in Tungsten inert gas welding having low Inter-granular Corrosion rate
and controlled delta ferrite.
2. Size & Quantity: As required.
3. Wire Specification:
3.1 Chemical Composition:
The welding filler wire shall conform to AWS specification SFA 5.9 ER 308L and shall
have strict control on chemical composition and controlled delta ferrite so as to achieve
the low inter-granular corrosion rate as mentioned in 3.3.
3.2 Delta Ferrite Requirement:
The delta ferrite (FN) content of the undiluted weld pad coupon shall be in the range of
4FN to 10FN.
3.3 Corrosion Requirement:
Inter-granular corrosion (IGC) tests of the sensitized undiluted weld pad coupon and that
of weldment with HAZ using plate material (having corrosion rate less than 12 mpy)
supplied by customer shall be carried out as per Practice ‘A’ and ‘C’ of ASTM A-262.
The following shall be the acceptance criteria:
a) Practice ‘A’: Micro structure shall be ‘acceptable etch structure’, free from end
grain pitting.
b) Practice ‘C’: The average corrosion rate of undiluted weld pad test coupon
shall be less than 12 mpy (Mills Per Year) with no leg (period of 48 hrs.)
showing more than 18mpy.
3.4 Macro Examination Requirement:

Macro examination of the welded specimen shall be carried out and the etched cross
section shall be free of any crack, void, inclusion and micro fissure along with any
discontinuity.
NOTE: Testing as above shall be carried out for each batch/heat number of the filler wires
procured. Hence, bulk procurement is advised to minimize the testing required.
4. Other requirements:
(a) The filler wires of reputed manufacturers such as M/s Advani (M/s AdorFontech),
M/s ESAB India and M/s Sandvik shall be preferred.
(b) Detailed chemical analysis of the filler wire shall be submitted.
Page 47 of 53
(c) The welding filler wire shall be supplied in straight cut lengths (500/1000 mm) with
suitable markings.
(d) The supply shall accompany documentation viz. chemical composition, results of
corrosion tests, ferrite tests, any other tests etc as per applicable standard. Only after
satisfactory results of the tests, the filler wires will be accepted.
5. Packing: All filler wire shall be suitably packed to avoid any ingress of foreign materials,
each box containing only one size and heat number.
APPENDIX –B: SPECIFICATION FOR SS PALL RINGS
1. SCOPE (for pall ring manufacturers)

Design, manufacture, testing, delivery and guarantee of Stainless Steel Pall Rings to be used as
absorption tower packing as per the following specification and technical requirements.
2. Specification:
i. Size : 25 mm
ii. MOC: SS 304L
iii. Thickness: 1.2 mm
3. Testing requirements:Samples will be collected from SS 304L sheets which will be used for
manufacturing pall rings. Those samples will be tested for IGC Practice ‘C’ with maximum
allowable corrosion rate of 15 mpy. For the pall rings, workmanship will be examined by
BARC before final clearance.
Among others following firms may be contacted for SS pall rings. Please note that these firms
are exclusive manufacturers of tower packing.
