6.0 FABRICATION AND WELDING

All welding shall conform to ASME Code Requirements.

7.0 INSPECTION AND TESTS

7.1 Inspection

7.1.1 The responsibility for inspection rests with the Seller in accordance with
Paragraph UG-90 of Section VIII of the ASME Code. Waiver of any phase of
inspection or testing must be obtained in writing from the Purchaser.

7.1.2 Purchaser will indicate the various stages of construction at which inspections
will be made at preinspection meeting if required. Vendor will be notified at
least 30 days prior to start of fabrication.

7.1.3 Prior to final inspection and hydrostatic test, the inside and the outside of the
exchanger shall be cleaned and free from all slag, loose scale, dirt, grit, weld
splatter, pieces of metal, paint, oil, and other foreign matter.

7.2 Tests

7.2.1 All exchangers shall be hydrostatically tested in strict accordance with the
requirements of ASME Section VIII, Division I.

7.2.2 Hydrostatic test pressure shall be 1-1/2 times the MAWP new and cold
corrected for temperature. All tests shall be made in the presence of a
designated inspector and with his specific authorization.

7.2.3 No exchanger or its component parts shall be subjected to a proof hydrostatic

test, unless authorization is obtained in writing from Purchaser.

7.2.4 Hydrotesting shall be performed only with domestic or clear raw water. The
PARES30_04
TOTAL PETROCHEMICALS, INC. PARES: 30.04

HEAT EXCHANGERS

water temperature shall be such that the metal temperature during the test is
above 60F. Exchangers shall be thoroughly drained following hydrotesting.
No liquid water shall remain in the equipment.

7.2.5 Certain materials are particularly susceptible to pitting corrosion during the
preservice period. These include 12 and 17 Cr stainless steels (AISI Types
405, 410 and 430), 1808 stainless steels (300 series austenitic), and Monel.
Heat exchangers constructed of these materials shall be given additional care
during hydrotesting. Water which contains traces of sediment (any type) shall
not be permitted in this equipment. Maximum chloride content of domestic or
clean raw water shall meet the following criteria:

a. Water containing more than one hundred (100) ppm chlorides shall not be
used for hydrotest.

b. Water containing more than fifty (50) ppm chlorides shall be treated with
an inhibitor of 1.5 percent soda ash and 0.5 percent sodium nitrate. The
chloride content of the soda ash shall not exceed 500 ppm. These
percentages are by weight.

c. Water containing less than fifty (50) ppm chlorides does not require the
use of an inhibitor.

7.2.6 Where complete drainage is impossible, it is necessary to flush with water,

containing not more than 5 ppm chlorides, alcohol, or suitable flushing solution
authorized by the Purchaser. Hot air or hot nitrogen drying is not acceptable in
lieu of flushing. However, flushing water must be mechanically blown out of
pockets with unheated air. Immediately after completion of draining or
mechanical removal of water after flushing, the exchanger shall be sealed for
shipment and storage. If field hydrostatic testing is required prior to operation,
the hydrostatic procedure shall be authorized in writing by the Purchaser before
any such tests are begun. These field tests shall follow the intent of the
previous sections of this paragraph.

8.0 TAGGING

8.1 An austenitic stainless steel nameplate shall be furnished by the Seller.

8.2 Nameplate stamping shall include, in addition to code requirements, the following
information:
