API 570 2” Edition, Including Addenda 1, 2, & 3 Ballot 570-07-04 Final May 17, 2004 Scorecard Item: 570-016 Title: Externally Applied Enclosures for Temporary Repairs Date: September 15, 2003 Contact: Name: Kelly Smith Company: ConocoPhillips Phone: (680) 767-3776 E-mail: kj.smith@conocophillips.com Purpose: Revise 8.1.4 to not exclude other types of nonwelded repairs that may currently exist or are being used in industry 570-1-03/02 0 Current technologies, such as composite wraps are being used by operating companies fn the basis of not being addressed in 570. By changing to the proposed language, the constraints or requirements of 8.1.4 would be imposed on all nonwelded repairs, Notes: API 570, Section 8.1.4 — Nonwelding Repairs (On-Stream) ‘Temporary repairs of locally thinned sections or circumferential linear defects may be made on-stream by installing a properly designed and fabrieated-bolted-lealc-elamp applied enclosure (e.g. bolted clamp, nonmetallic composite wrap, metallic and epoxy wraps, or other non-welded applied temporary repair. The design shall include control of axial thrust loads if the piping component being elamped enclosed is (or may become) insufficient to control pressure thrust. The effect of elamping enclosing (crushing) forces on the component also shall be considered. During tumarounds or other appropriate opportunities, temporary leak sealing and leak dissipating devices, including valves, shall be removed and appropriate actions taken to restore the original integrity of the piping system. The inspector and/or piping engineer shall be involved in determining repair methods and procedures. Procedures that include leak sealing fluids (“pumping”) for process piping should be reviewed for acceptance by the inspector or piping engineer. The review should take into consideration the compatibility of the sealant with the leaking material; the pumping pressure on the clamp (especially when repumping) and any resulting crushing forces: and the risk of sealant affecting downstream flow meters, relief valves, or machinery; the risk of subsequent leakage at bolt threads causing corrosion or stress corrosion cracking of bolts; and the number of times the seal area is repumped.
