ARK-STRIKE REPAIR
5. METHODOLOGY
Every effort must be made to avoid arc strike on the pipe wall outside the weld bevel.
Accidental arc burns shall be removed as follows:
The arc burns shall be carefully removed by filling / grinding and grinding and merging
with adjoining surface so as to avoid notches and stress concentration. A blackened spot is
evidence of a metallurgical notch and indicates that additional grinding is necessary. After
complete removal of Arc Burn, LPT shall be carried out and then the thickness shall be
measured by using calibrated ultrasonicthickness gauge (D Meter).
Repair by welding of arc burn on parent metal is not permitted. The visual inspection shall
be interpreted in accordance with API-1104 . If the thickness is found to be lower than the
acceptable limit, then the pipe will be cut out as a cylinder up to the affected area and a
fresh bevel shall be prepared as per the approved procedure and reports to be generated. In
case of doubtful cracks
UT & RT shall be carried out on such areas and reports will be generated for same. Reports
to be generated for Arc Burns or Arc Strikes and the dents will be removed by cutting of
damaged portion of the pipe as a cylinder and to be re- beveled as per the approved
procedure. The completed weld shall be carefully brushed and cleaned and shall appear
free from spatters, scales etc.
