Quality requirement for end bevel of pipes or pipe fittings can be executed according to DL $007 the Code of Erection and Acceptance for Electric Power Construction (Welding Section of Thermal Power Plant). Any paint, dirt, rust and others, which in end bevel of pipe and pipe fitting or within the range of 10~1Smm of outer wall or inner wall, must have been removed completely until metal luster appearing prior to the connection. End bevel which wall thickness above or equal to 20mm should be checked to find any defects such as crack, interlayer and so on. Pipes should be in horizontal and straight when welding connection, and welding angle deformation can be measured at the position of 200mm from connection center. Allowable deviation of port should be as followings except special requirements provided: a>+2mm in case of pipe inside nominal diameter DN<100mm; a%3mm in case of pipe inside nominal diameter DN> 100mm; Pipes should be fastened firmly after port welding position is in good condition, to avoid the motion in welding and heat treatment. Cold drawing of pipe should be in accordance with desi following requirements should be observed prior to cold drawing: requirement. And Figure 5.1.11 Deviation diagram of deformation dogleg port of pipe welding angle All fixing brackets of cold drawing area should be fastened; any weld junction of each fixing bracket should be welded and checked, and heat treatment should be performed for weld junction which heat treatment is required; 7 5.1132 After the installation of all supporting and suspending bracket has finished, sufficient alignment reserve should be remained for the suspension rod of suspending bracket nearby cold drawing port. Spring of supporting and suspending bracket should be pre-compressed according to design value and fixed temporarily. to cause spring not to bear load out of predetermined value; 5.1.13.3 Slope direction and slope of pipe should be in accordance with design requirements; 5.1134 Connecting bolts of flange and valve should have been fastened. Weld junction should be checked and passed afier the cold drawing of pipe. Drawing device can only be removed after heat treatment has finished for weld junction which heat treatment is required, S14 Tension or compression can be made for bellow expansion joint according to design requirement. ‘Tension device should be relaxed after the installation of pipes has finished. In case of annular tube in bellow expansion joint, it should be erected correctly according to flow direction of medium (fixed end of annular tube should be inlet side of medium). Expansion joint connected to device can only be mounted after the final fixing of device. SAIS In the installation and adjusting of flow hole plate (or nozzle), SDJ 279 the Code of Erection and Acceptance for Electric Power Construction (Thermal Meters and Controlling Equipments Section) should be observed for the technical requirement of matching pipe. 5.116 Port should be covered in time in case of any interruption in pipe installation. SLIT Allowable deviation of pipe installation should be in accordance with the specified value in Table 5.1.17. S118 Installation of piping and supporting and suspending bracket should be carried out simultaneity.. S.L19 Boring can not be carried out with gas cutting method if hole should be made on Pipe due to the installation of meter socket and drainage pipe saddle, and hole diameter lower than 30mm.
