This oil shall not runoff and will not become fluid at temperatures beloe 80 °C. LUV resistant plastic covers shal be fitted for flanged valves with NPS2" and smaller Plywood covers shal be used for valve end flanges for other sizes. A cover with thickness of at least 10 mm shall be used for used for valves up to NPS. 410" and 12 mm thickness for valves NPS 12" and larger. This cover shall be attached by using a minimum of four bolts for NPS 10" size and eight bolts for NPS 12" and larger. The diameter of bot shall not be less than % size of the lange bolt hoe. 6. INSTALLATION OF VALVES 61 62. Prior to installation of valves, Check the orientation of valve as per Isometric ‘and PAID drawings to make sure that flow direction is as per required. Specifications for bolts, nuts, and gaskets shall be as per Bill of Materials of Isometric Drawing or a specified by the manufacturer. Valve tags shall be inspected to easly identify the valves ‘SEPCO Electric Power Construction Corporation SEPCO DOCUMENT NAME EP MOSE-CM-Se¥.0091 LWW FR EB BB | PROCEDURE FOR VALVE TESTING. REV.NO- ° ‘AND INSTALLATION os ‘G3 For manual operated valves, Check for damage and defects on the flange face ofthe valve and the serration ofthe raise face. Also, check thatthe stem has is ‘in good condition and that fully open and fully closed operation can be done with ease {644 For instrument operated valves, inspec: for any damage on the instrument and apply preservation by covering the electrical parts. Also, check for damage and defects on the flange face ofthe valve and the serration of the raise face, 65 During installation, The alignment ofthe alve must be observed such thatthe boltcan pass thoroughiy between the bolt holes ofthe ange for pipingand the flange ofthe valve. 6.6 The gasket must be checked for any defects and must be verified as never been. used prior to installation. Implement proper bol torquing sequence and procedure to ensure that the flange is tightened properly 7. INSPECTION & QUALITY RECORDS ‘+ All stages of work shall be inspected and documented in accordance with the ‘Approved Project Quality Control Inspection Plan are as follows: 1) SAICL-2041 - Storage and Preservation of Valves 2} SAIGI-2042 - Field Pressure Testing of Valves 3) SAIC-1-2043 - Valve Installation and Inspection 4) SAIC-A-2001 - In-line Testing of Valves 5) SATR-A-2001-V- Pressure Test Report (Valve Inspection and Testing) 8. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS * Safety officer will monitor all required safety precautions during testing + Proper barricade in the working area shall be done + All safety precautionary signboards must be visibly posted, ‘Ensure that only authorized personnel are working within the area ‘SEPCO Electric Power Construction Corporation
