of deformation exceeding 2% original height, and the sum of twice permanent
deformations should not be more than 3% original height. Anyone unqualified
should not be used;
Working load compression test: compressed value of spring under working load
should be in accordance with the requirement of design, and allowable deviation

5.0 Installation of pipes
5.1 General regulations
Following items are necessary for the installation of pipes:
Building project related to piping should be checked and passed, and installation
requirement must be observed;
Devices connected to pipes should be spotted and fastened completely;
Corresponding procedures which should be carried out prior to the installation of
pipes, such as cleaning, degreasing, interior acid washing and etc., must have been
finished;
Parts such as pipe, pipe fitting, pipe accessory and valve should have been checked
and passed, and relative technical certificates are required;
Parts such as pipe, pipe fitting, pipe accessory and valve should be checked
according to design requirements, and any dirt should be cleaned thoroughly
without foreign material
Enough rigidity is necessary if combination type is adopted in the pipe installation.
Per permanent deformation should not be occurred after the hoisting, and temporary
‘measures should be firm and reliable.
Pipe inside should be cleaned completely prior to the combining of pipes or
installation of combining parts. Any foreign material must not be reminded in pipe.
and temporary blanking cover is required,
Slope direction and the degree of slope of straight pipe section should be in
accordance with design requirement. Easy drain water and air exhaust can be the
principle to determine pipe slope direction if no concrete design requirements had
been given. The slope should satisfy with the requirement of DLGJ 23 Technical
Specification for Steam and Water Piping Design of Thermal Power Plant. Pipe
sections on both sides of compensator should be at horizontal and the direction of
middle section should be in accordance with the direction of pipe slope if a
horizontal positioning II type compensator is erected on pipe with slope.
Position of pipe butt welding seam should be in accordance with requirement, or
following should be observed:
Distance between welding seam and the are starting point of elbow pipe should be
less than outer diameter of pipe or 100mm;
Distance between two butt welding seams of pipe should not be less than outer
diameter of pipe and 10mm;
Position of pipe of supporting and suspending bracket should be in coincide with the
butt welding seam of pipe, and the distance between welding seam and edge of
suspending bracket should not be less than 50mm, and it should not be less than 5
times welding width and no less than 100mm for pipe port which needs heat
treatment after welding;

Pipe port should not be at the boring position of water drainage pipe, meter pipe and
cic. and the distance between port and boring edge should not be less than SOmm,
and no less than hole diameter;
No ports on the pipe sections in wall or floor if pipe should pass through wall and
floor.
Additional stub pipe should be provided when two shaped parts of pipe are welded
together.
Defects such as clearance of port end surface, decline, hilo, misalignment and ete
can not be eliminated with methods such as forced butt joint, heating pipe, padding
or multi layer padding for pipe connection, except requirements of cold drawing or
heating fastening had been provided in design. The connection of pipes and devices
can be carried out naturally after the installation and positioning of devices has
finished and all anchor bolts had been fastened.
End bevel type and dimension of pipe should be decided according to design
drawings. And DL 5007 the Code of Erection and Acceptance for Electric Power
Construction (Welding Section of Thermal Power Plant) must be observed in case of
no design requirement provided.
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;

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.
