lines wherein the service is considered as atmospheric. Only visual inspection will be carried
out on these lines instead of pressure test subject to CPY approval

n. Holding time for hydrotest will be perform with the holding time is 1 hour

o. Ball, gate, globe, and butterfly valves should be in full open position or based on actual valve
condition in situ

p. Vessels and mechanical equipment such as process pumps should be blinded or spade
from the network, if applicable

7.

CONTRACTOR will perform the pipe cleaning/flushing with a Quick Decompression Method

USING QUICK OPENING VALVE


a. Before starting the test, ensure that the system is lined up as per the flushing block
diagram included in the test package

b. Ensure that the quick opening valve (manual valve) at the air outlet is in closed position

c. The piping network shall be flushed from high point to low point. Where two or more high
points or alternative flow paths exist, the multiple flushing inlet and discharge points will be
required.

d. Large diameter pipes should be cleaned before the small diameter ones and dead ends
will be cleaned separately

e. Start the compressor and open the inlet valve to allow the air flow into the network

f. Monitor properly the pressure on the gauge and ensure that the pressure will not exceed
the maximum pressure required in the network

g. Before opening the valve on the air outlet ensure that all safety measures has been
adhered to

h. Once the pressure reading on the gauge reached the allowable pressure, open the quick
opening valve at the air outlet as possible to fully open and close immediately if in case of
emergency. Ensure that all equipment, instruments etc. adjacent or close to the discharge
point is properly protected

i. Repeat the closing and opening of the outlet valve for several times as possible until the

cleanliness criteria are met.

The following step by step procedure will be implemented for the final hydrotest or pressure test
with CPY witness

a. Before starting the test, ensure that the system is lined up as per the hydrotest block
diagram included in the test package and that the back of the recorder chart has been
signed by QC and CPY representative before inserting it into the test recorder. After
inserting the chart, the recorder shall be locked and the key will be kept with CPY pre-
commissioning representative

b. Start the filling with required test medium at the lowest point in the line or network. Ensure
that all venting points are open to avoid entrapped air until the system is fully filled

c. Increase the pressure gradually up to 25% and let it stabilize for 5 mins. If no leak,
increase the pressure up to 50% and let it stabilize for 5 mins. Continue building up the
pressure in the system up to 75% until 100% of the desired test pressure with 5mins
stabilization period and if no leaks found in between.

d. Hold the 100% pressure in the system minimum 1 hour . Ensure that the line or network
has been disconnected from the source once 100% has reached to avoid further pressure
introduced into the system. Perform the visual inspection on the system and check all
flange joints, welding joints and other connections for leaks

e. During this stabilization period the pressure along with the temperature should be properly
monitor from the test recorder plus manual recording as back up. There should not be any
pressure drop shown in the recorder unless it is attributed by the ambient temperature
change which will have effect on the metal temperature resulting to such pressure
fluctuation

f. If the pressure drops are attributed by leaks, after investigating and identified the location
the line or network should then be immediately fully depressurized and do the necessary
repair and/or rectification. Re-test of the same line or network shall be performed in the
same step by step mentioned herein above

g. Should there are no more leaks found during the stabilization period and CPY approved
the test, the system shall then be depressurized

h. Decrease the pressure from 100% to 75% at let the pressure stabilize for 5 mins and
repeat the same way for 25% until 0% with 5 mins stabilization period per each interval.
The depressurization of the system can be done by opening the vent point gradually in a
way that each percentage and stabilization time intervals mentioned here are attained

i. Remove the chart from the test recorder and obtain all parties signatures i.e. QC, Pre-
Comm.Engineer and CPY representative who follow and witnessed the test.

8.

a. Ensure that the system is properly depressurized and compressor is turned off before
removing all temporary connections used on flushing activity

b. Ensure pipes are either adequately drained

c. Pipes and devices which are removed during flushing shall be reinstalled

d. Ensure to properly seal each of the pipe by covering it with plastic or wrapped with
tape to avoid re-introduction of any dirt into the line prior to the pressure test

e. Fill up the corresponding test sheet (T-MX-05/T-MX-027) inside test


package and obtain CPY representative signature as proof of acceptance

f. Remove all barricades and signs the test area and perform proper housekeeping

g. A reinstatement check against the P&IDs will be conducted to ensure the

reinstatement completion prior to put a system into service

a. Ensure that all temporary items used in hydrotest are properly disconnected from the
network and all permanent items which has been removed prior to the test are restored
back on its designated locations

b. Remove the chart from the recorder and obtain all parties final signatures i.e. QC, Pre-
Comm.Engineer and CPY representative as a proof of acceptance

c. Fill up the corresponding pressure test sheet (T-MX-03) inside the test package and obtain
CPY representative signature as proof of acceptance

d. Remove all barricades and signs around the test area and perform proper housekeeping

The disposal of all water used in flushing, hydrotest, ect in the section of this piping shall
be disposed out in safe area as per CPY approval.

9.

Colour of the air at the discharge point will roughly indicate whether or not rust and dirt remain
in the piping. This is usually sufficient for the majority of process and utilities piping. At the
beginning of the blow out the air is brownish (rust colour) or greyish (other debris i.e. welding
rods, welding slugs, sand etc.). The colour will become brighter and brighter depending on the
number of blow out performed. Considerably, at this point, uncoloured air at the discharge
point means that pipe internal is already clean with the satisfaction and acceptance from CPY
representative hence will authorize to stop the flushing activity
