Notes:
1) The Standards where edition/version is not specified such standards shall be the latest
2) The NDT operators qualifications as per SNT TC 1A-2011.
3) Old / defective / pitted/ corroded materials shall not be used.
4) When acceptance criteria conflicts within the applicable specs, the stringent shall apply.
5) Vendor shall have MESC access.
6) This ITR is based on year 2016 MESC. User shall ensure the applicable versions of MESC and Intls Standards are as per PO
7) Lighting levels shall be 1000 lux for LPT and Visual Inspection. No surface breaking discontinuities are permitted
8) Removal / tampering of original manufacturer marking on the bought out materials/ forgings is prohibited).
9) NDT and PMI procedures shall be approved by PDO.
10) No weld repairs are permitted on base materials without PDO consent.
11) No substitution of materials is permitted.
12) Supplier shall formally notify Contractor / PDO/TPI of inspection/test activity and shall not proceed unless Contractor / PDO/TPI in attendance, or
agreed in writing.
13) Final inspection by TPI is not substitute for materials requiring 3.2 certification.
14) These requirements are based on PDO specifications for standard items. Based on project needs further requirements shall be identified.

15) Pipe with a wall thickness > 6.4 mm (0.25 in) shall be furnished seamless, unless otherwise approved by the Principal.
16) Welded pipe shall be made using the electric fusion welding process, with no addition of filler metal,
17) Any cold working shall be done before the final heat treatment.
18) Heat treatment procedures shall be subject to statistical process control to ensure that the final material properties comply with the material
specification and this MESC SPE. The process control data and related periodic quality control checks shall be documented.
19) Austenitic stainless steels shall be capable of passing an intergranular corrosion test. The frequency of this test shall be sufficient for the
Manufacturer to assure that all tests would be successful if subsequently performed. If periodic data are not available, then an intergranular
corrosion test shall be performed for each heat in the purchase order.
20) Pipe ordered to Grade UNS S31254 shall be subject to a ferric chloride test in accordance with ASTM G 48, Method A.
21) Hydrotesting shall be performed with water containing no more than 50 ppm chloride. The pipe shall be dry before any end closures are installed.
22) For longitudinally welded pipe ordered in sizes ≥ DN 150 (NPS 6), both hydrostatic testing and nondestructive electric testing shall be performed.
23) The entire length of welds of pipe furnished by the electric fusion welding process shall be 100 % examined by radiography.
24) All marking shall be carried out using low-stress die-stamping or stenciling or electronic etching or by the vibro-etching method.
25) Marking shall also include the nominal pipe size (DN), and the pipe schedule number or specified wall thickness (mm) including the charge
number and, where applicable, the heat treatment batch number.
26) Materials for sour service shall be supported by NACE MR-0175/ISO 15156 and compliance to the relevant MESC
27) These ITRs provide the minimum/ basic interventions by PDO/ TPI. Project / Asset QA / Consultants / Contractors may enhance these
interventions based on confidence on the vendor and project need.
