1 SCOPE
Document number ASP00019
Revision A

This procedure establishes the method for the selection and application of safety wire.
Lock wiring is the application of wire to prevent relative movement of structure or other
critical components subject to vibration, tension, torque, etc.

This procedure is intended to help eliminate the risk of dropped objects in


components or parts manufactured.

Bolts, Nuts and Screws are the common type of fasteners used on NOV
equipment. They need to be locked (secondary retention) against loss of torque / pre-
tension.

Use of safety wire to prevent rotation of fasteners is a safe and primarily


recommended secondary retention method for fasteners. It is the most preferred
method because it not only prevents fasteners from loosening but also keeps them from
falling in case of primary retention failure (bolt head Breaks off) and effectively prevents
dropped objects.

Note that the secondary retention will work only if the primary retention method is
properly in place, i.e. bolts and screws are tightened and torqued as per specifications,
and there is no play between the mating elements. Secondary retention methods aim in
preventing any compromise in primary retention, loss of pre-tension in assembled
fasteners, loosening and backing out.

Definitions:

Secondary Retention – The means of effectively retaining a fastener/joining component


such that the operating loads do not compromise the integrity of the primary fastening
component.

e. 3.1750 mm (0.125 inch) diameter NOV P/N Z6002

3.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

3.2.1 Safety wire shall be new upon each application.

3.2.2 Parts shall be lockwired in such a manner that the lockwire shall be put in tension
when the part tends to loosen.

3.2.3 The lockwire should always be installed and twisted so that the loop around the
head stays down and does not tend to come up over bolt head and leave a slack loop.

3.2.4 Care shall be exercised when installing lockwire to ensure that it is tight but not
over stressed.

3.2.5 Properly twisted lockwire will have 7-12 twists per inch for .032 wire and 6-8 turns
for .052 wire. More twists will over stress the wire and cause fatigue and breakage.

3.2.6 A pigtail should be ½” to 5/8” in length (4-8 twists) at the end of the wiring. This
pigtail shall be bent back or under to prevent it from becoming a snag.

3.2.7 As per the Machinery’s Handbook 27th edition the following rules apply:

a) No more than three (3) bolts may be tied together.


b) Bolt heads may be tied as shown only when the female thread receiver is
captive.(see figure 1)
c) Lockwire must fill a minimum of 50% of the drilled hole provided for the
use of lockwire.
d) Diameter of lockwire is determined by the thread size of the fastener to be
lockwired.
1) Thread sizes of 6 mm (0.25 inch) and smaller use 0.508mm (0.020
inch) wire.
2) Thread sizes of 6 mm (0.25 inch) to 12 mm (0.5 inch) use 0.8128 mm
(0.032 inch) wire.
3) Thread sizes > 12 mm (0.5 inch) use 1.1938 mm (0.047 inch) OR
1.295mm (0.051) wire.

The larger wire may be used in smaller bolts in cases of convenience, but smaller
wire must not be used in larger fastener sizes.

Figure 1: Safety Wire / Lock Wire

3.3 LOCK-WIRING METHODS

3.3.1 The method involves threading a wire through holes in the fastener to lock it
against being rotated loose. The wire is twisted before being threaded and is locked to
next bolt. Safety wire should be placed in and around bolt head to maintain the pre-load.
The use of safety wire ties is illustrated in figure 1 above. The illustrations assume the
use of right-hand threaded fasteners.

3.3.2 The double-twist method:


The double-twist method of lock-wiring shall be used as the common method of
lock-wiring.

CAUTION: screws in closely spaced geometric which secure hydraulic or air seals, hold
hydraulic pressure, or used in critical areas of clutch mechanism should use double twist
method of lock-wiring. Make sure that the wire is so installed that it can easily be broken
when required in an emergency situation.

3.3.3 Lock-wiring widely spaced multiple groups by the double twist method.
a) When the multiple fasteners are from 4-6 inches apart, three (3) fasteners
shall be the maximum number in a series that can be safety wired
together.
b) When the multiple fasteners are spaced more than 6 inches apart, the
multiple fastener application specified in Figure 1 shall not be used unless
tie points are provided on adjacent parts to shorten the span of the wire to
less than 6 inches.
c) One end of the safety wire shall be inserted through one set of lockwire
holes in the head of the bolt. The other end of the safety wire shall be
looped around the bolt head in the tightening direction.
Document number ASP00019
Revision A
Page 7

d) The strands, while taut, shall be twisted until the twisted part is just short of
the nearest hole in the next bolt. The twisted portion shall be within 1/8” of
the holes in each bolt as shown in figure 1 above.
e) After wiring the last bolt, the wire shall be twisted to form a pigtail of 2-4
twists. The excess wire shall be cut off. The pigtail shall be bent back or
under the part to prevent it from becoming a snag.

3.3.4 Single wire method:


The single wire method may be used in a closely spaced, closed geometrical
pattern (triangle, square, circle, etc.) on parts in an electrical system, and in places that
would make the single-method more advisable as shown in figure 2 below. Closely
spaced shall be considered a maximum of two inches between centers. Maximum length
of wire shall not exceed 24” in total length.

Figure 2: Safety Wire / Lock Wire Single

3.4 OTHER APPLICATIONS


Document number ASP00019
Revision A
Page 8

3.4.1 Hollow head bolts are safety wired in the manner prescribed for regular bolts.

3.4.2 Drain plugs and cocks may be wired to a bolt, nut, or other part having a free lock
hole in accordance with the general instructions contained herein.

3.4.3 External snap rings may be locked if necessary in accordance with the general
locking principles contained herein.

3.4.4 Internal snap rings shall never be lockwired.

3.4.5 Bolts and hardware may be wired using SAFE-T-Cable. Follow procedure
D744000087-PRO-001.

Safe-T-Cable® can be used similar to Safety/Lock wire to secure Fasteners. The safety
cable installation procedure is shown in Figure. The safety cable comes in pre-cut
lengths with stubs on one end. After sewing through the holes in the fasteners they are
tightened and crimped using a ferrule cartridge and crimping tool.

They are more convenient to use and take only a fraction of the time to secure fasteners
as compared to safety wire as no wire twisting is required. However additional tools like
ferrule cartridge and crimping tool are required. For additional information refer Safe-T-
Cable® (website http://www.dmctools.com/Catalog/safe_t_cable.htm).

Chapter 2: Overview

Tool Description
The ST-80C Iron Roughneck is an oil-rig tool used for make-up and break-out of drilling tubular
connections. Designed for use on smaller rigs where floor space is limited, the durable ST-80C
Iron Roughneck features an extend/retract scissor-arm system and is available in standard and tall
models. With the tall pedestal Iron Roughneck model, the operator has the capability of raising the
Iron Roughneck above the deck crew’s head in the parked position. Thus, the ST-80C allows
clearance around well center and mousehole both during use and when placed in the parked
position.

i
For safety considerations, the ST-80C Iron Roughneck cannot be operated
when placed in the parked position.

The control console, which mounts on the front left or right side of the Iron Roughneck carriage,
operates the hydraulic components safely and quickly providing up to 80,000 ft.-lbs. of torque to
make-up and break-out drilling tubular connections.
The ST-80C is installed on the drill floor and uses either a single, floor-mounted socket or a floor-
mounted bearing and upper mast attachment for elevated storage. No hanging cable is needed.
The ST-80C works at well center and the mousehole. This automated Iron Roughneck can be
rotated by hand about the pedestal for storage when not in use.

Tool Description
Iron Roughneck Components
ST-80C Standard
Carriage
The carriage is connected to the pedestal and is a compact, heavy-duty enclosure for the Iron
Roughneck components. The control console support is located on the front of the carriage.
Control Console
The ST-80C Iron Roughneck operator-controlled control console is installed on the front of the Iron
Roughneck carriage. The control console can be mounted on the front left or front right side,
depending on space requirements of the rig floor.
Pedestal
The pedestal, which is mounted on the drill floor, provides vertical and rotational travel for the Iron
Roughneck for required alignment with either the mousehole or well center.
Scissor-Arm
Capable of extending and retracting, the scissor arm assembly supports and provides horizontal
travel of the Iron Roughneck for positioning at the mousehole, well center, and parked/standby
positions.
Torque Wrench with Spin Rollers
The ST-80C uses a combination spinner and torque wrench. The dies of the upper jaws are
located between the spin rollers. The spin rollers grip the connection and spin with a torque of
1,750 ft.-lb.
The torque wrench can make up the connection with a maximum torque of 60,000 ft.-lb. The
wrench can break out connections with a maximum torque of 80,000 ft.-lb.
The ST-80C Iron Roughneck can make or break all tool connections from 4-1/4" to 8-1/2" outside
diameter, and can handle nominal drill pipe from 3-1/2" up to 6-5/8".

ST-80C Tall
Remote Hoist/Lower Kit
The remote hoisting and lowering kit operates as an extension to raise the Iron Roughneck to the
parked/stored position above the deck floor. This feature is only available for the ST-80 tall model.

Operating the ST-80C


Securing the ST-80C on a Floating Vessel
When operating an ST-80C on a floating vessel, high waves and wind cause the
ST-80C to make sudden and unexpected movements.

!
Floating vessels are subject to wave action and wind, resulting in
unpredictable floor motion. Unpredictable floor motion can cause an ST-80C
to make sudden and unexpected movements. When this begins to occur,
operations should cease and the ST-80C should be secured at well center,
mousehole, or standby position. Refer to procedures in Figure 4-8.

Procedure

1. Stop operation.
2. On the control panel, move the BACK/FWD lever to
the BACK position: move the ST-80C to parked position.
3. Turn the base assembly jackscrews (2 places)
clockwise until they tighten against the base plate to
prevent pedestal rotation.

When ST-80C operation can proceed safely, turn the


base assembly jackscrews (2 places) counterclockwise
to allow pedestal rotation.

Inspection and Lubrication


Inspecting Hardware and Fittings
Visually inspect the ST-80C for loose or missing hardware and fittings daily. Make sure all lock
safety wire is undamaged and that the safety cable between the 3 guiding pins of the lower jaws is
present.
Check the inline pressure filter weekly. Replace as necessary if the indicator is red during
operation.
Inspect all hoses for wear or damage. Replace as necessary.

i
All hoses are clearly labeled. Consult hose kit drawings for proper routing
and hose specification and always label when replacing hoses on the ST-
80C.

Lubricating the ST-80C


The lubrication intervals described in this manual are based on lubricant supplier
recommendations. Severe conditions such as extreme loads or temperature, corrosive
atmosphere, etc., may require more frequent lubrication.
Worn bushings, binding parts, rust accumulations, and other abnormal conditions indicate more
frequent lubrication is necessary.
Apply grease daily to all grease fittings as shown on the following page.

i
When greasing the spinner assembly, watch for clean grease extruding from
under the spinning wrench rollers. If it becomes difficult to inject grease and
no grease extrudes from under the spinner rollers, the grease vent may be
missing or clogged. This can jam the spinner rollers. Repair or replace as
necessary.

!
Clean any grease which falls to the floor to prevent personal injury due to
slipping.

Disassembly and Assembly


Precautions

Release all hydraulic oil pressure before disconnecting hydraulic


lines. Hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate skin and cause
serious injury.

Before opening the hydraulic system, thoroughly clean the work area.
Maintain system cleanliness by promptly capping all disconnected
lines. Dirt is extremely harmful to hydraulic system components and
can cause equipment failure and subsequent injury to personnel.

Ensure all hydraulic lines are isolated and the ball valve is closed
before any work is performed on the ST-80C.

If air is introduced into the duplex extend cylinder, use extreme


caution when extending the platform for the first time. As the load
moves over center, the air will compress causing the support arm to
extend rapidly. Support unit with tugger and stand to the side until air
is purged.

During operation, surfaces may become hot enough to cause bodily injury.
To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool
before touching.

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the ST-80C


This section describes general troubleshooting methods and provides tables for troubleshooting
specific problems or components.

!
Make sure all hydraulic lines are isolated and the ball valve is closed before
any work is performed on the ST-80C.

!
Whenever hoisting or lowering or operating the Iron Roughneck, ensure all
personnel and equipment are clear of the operating area. Failure to follow
this warning may result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

During operation, surfaces may become hot enough to cause bodily injury.
To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool
before touching.

When troubleshooting the ST-80C, make sure the hydraulic pressure is between 2,000 and
2,100 psi at the inlet of the manifold. Check the back pressure of the tank line (ensure the pressure
does not exceed 30 psi).
1. Ensure that all hoses and QDs are properly connected.
2. Check manifold, fittings, QDs and hoses for leaks or damage.
3. Ensure the tool is lubricated per Chapter 5, Maintenance.
The most important things to check after each rig move and before operating the ST-80C are:
1. Ensure that the ST-80C is fully inserted in the socket.
2. Ensure all QDs are fully engaged.
3. Ensure the operating pressures are correct.
4. Verify the condition of the filter.
5. Check all fittings for leaks.
6. Lubricate entire ST-80C and check the condition of the filter per Chapter 5, Maintenance.

Recommended Lubricants Guide Introduction

Before equipment operation, it is essential to determine the grade and quality of lubricant
appropriate for the minimum ambient temperature of operation. To determine if this guide is
applicable, refer to the General Recommendations section in this guide.
This guide provides recommendations for selecting the appropriate grade and quality of the
following lubricants:
• Hydraulic Fluid
• Gear Oil
• Grease
• Air Lubricator Misting Oil

Consult engineering for lubrication requirements in extreme conditions, such as:


• Extreme service temperature
• Extreme pressure
• Emergency lubrication

General Recommendations
Adhere to the lubrication product information and instructions listed in/on:
• The design notes on the assembly drawing in the technical drawing package
• The nameplate on the equipment
• The documentation of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
If there is no information for selecting the appropriate lubricant for the NOV equipment provided,
refer to the NOV recommendations provided in this guide.
This guide lists the specifications or required qualities, not particular brand names, of the

Recommended Lubricants Guide

Hydraulic Fluid
An anti-wear (AW) hydraulic fluid of the proper viscosity grade is recommended for the hydraulic
system.

The AW hydraulic fluid is typically mineral-based and contains AW additives


along with rust and oxidation inhibitors.

Selecting the appropriate fluid viscosity grade to operate a typical hydraulic system involves the
consideration of the following interdependent variables:
• The starting viscosity at the minimum ambient temperature
• Verification that:
– The pour point temperature of hydraulic fluid will be at least 17°C (30°F) lower than the
expected minimum ambient temperature.
– The hydraulic fluid pours freely at the minimum operating temperature.

Operating the equipment in cold temperatures requires hydraulic fluid with a


viscosity that allows the oil to flow freely and transmit power. If the ambient
temperature approaches the hydraulic fluid pour point, a heater may be used
to get the fluid flowing for proper lubrication of the component.

• Maximum expected operating temperature limits


• Permissible and optimum viscosity range for the component
– Minimum viscosity at maximum ambient temperature and in severe duty-cycle operation
– Maximum viscosity at cold start
Use table 1-2 and table 1-3 as a general guide for selecting the hydraulic fluids for equipment
operation in non-arctic or arctic conditions, respectively.

Gear Oil
This section is a general guide for selecting the gear oil used on the top drive, iron roughneck, and
pipe racking systems only.
Reference: If the gearbox is not part of a top drive, iron roughneck, or pipe racking system, see the
equipment vendor documentation or contact an NOV representative.
Always use an extreme pressure (EP) gear oil when working with gearboxes.

The EP gear oils are typically mineral oils that contain sulfur-phosphorous
additives. Most EP gear oils meet the American Gear Manufacturers
Association (AGMA) extreme pressure-performance requirements.

The proper grade and type of gear oil is selected by viscosity.


Reference: For the brand or trade name of the lubricant for the applicable viscosity range, consult
the lubricant suppliers.

Using oil with a greater viscosity than required can damage:


! • The gearbox, as a result of reduced oil flow.
• The oil pump, as a result of excessive load.

The pour point temperature of the oil should be at least 6°C (10°F) lower than the expected
minimum ambient temperature. The gear oil must pour freely at its minimum operating
temperature.

Operating the equipment in low temperatures requires gear oil with a


viscosity:
• High enough to carry the load.
• Low enough to allow the oil to circulate.

At start-up, the oil should flow freely and not cause high torque. If the ambient temperature
approaches the gear oil pour point, a heater may be used to get the fluid flowing and to ensure
proper lubrication of components.
This section will cover the following:
• Recommended Top Drive Gear Oil
• Recommended Iron Roughneck and Pipe Racking Gear Oil

NOTES

1. Unless noted, all values are based on light machine oil or anti seize lubricated bolts (not high
pressure lubes)
2. NOV does not recommend assembling bolts dry
3. Proof Strength is 92% of minimum yield strength
4. Torque values given represent 70% to 80% of proof strength
5. Clamp force is based on 75% of proof strength
6. These torque values are to be followed unless otherwise specified
7. If torqueing into aluminum, contact engineering for appropriate torque value.
8. After proper torque has been established in accordance with specification, fasteners shall be
immediately identified as being torqued by either:
a) Being safety wired in accordance with ASP00019 and/or
b) Marked with an “X” using either a red or yellow paint marker.

Hydraulic Fluid
Cleanliness

Scope
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to the installers and users of
Varco’s hydraulically powered equipment and to ensure that each piece of equipment
performs as intended. Prior to connecting Varco equipment to a hydraulic system, the
piping/plumbing/hoses/service loops must be cleaned and the hydraulic fluid filtered to
minimize hydraulic fluid contamination. The following paragraph defines the
hydraulic fluid cleanliness levels required for operating Varco equipment. Failure to
maintain these cleanliness levels could result in premature equipment damage and
nullification of the equipment warranty.

This document outlines fluid cleanliness measurement and analysis criteria and also
describes procedures for filtering and cleaning a hydraulic system.

Each final assembly item from Varco will be function tested with clean hydraulic fluid
maintained at ISO 4406 18/15 (was 9) or better (See Table 1). The hydraulic fluid
cleanliness levels will be recorded on Test Specification document (TS00419) for each
piece of equipment prior to shipment.

Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness

Hydraulic fluid
Varco recommends hydraulic fluid levels be maintained at a cleanliness level of ISO
4406 18/15 (was 9) or better prior to the initial connection, startup, and commissioning
of Varco equipment. After initial system operation, Varco recommends that the
hydraulic supply system be capable of continuously maintaining this level of
cleanliness or better to assure that fluid contamination is not a factor in any component
failure during the desired useful life of the hydraulic powered equipment. The final
level of acceptable cleanliness prior to equipment hook up must be determined by a
hydraulic fluid sample and should be analyzed by a qualified laboratory.

6 Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness SM00081-C


Hydraulic Fluid Contamination

Hydraulic Fluid Contamination

Solid contamination
When determining contamination of hydraulic fluids, you must consider the size and
quantity of the solid particle contamination within a representative fluid sample. The
contamination of hydraulic fluids by solid particles is covered by a number of different
classification systems:

❏ ISO DIS 4406


❏ MIL STD 1246 A
❏ NAS 1638
❏ SAE 749 D
❏ CETOP RP 70 H

CLASSES OF CONTAMINATION
The various classes of contamination define the quantity of particles of a certain size in
a 100 ml sample of fluid.

A classification is determined by counting and sizing the contaminating solid particles.


The classification is performed either under a microscope, or by using an electronic
particle counter. The electronic counter method is more objective than using the
microscope.

Above a dirt concentration of about 20 mg per liter, or if the fluid is very turbid, the
contamination can only be ascertained by weight, i.e., by gravimetric analysis.
However, with this method, the individual dirt particles cannot be classified.

Comparison of contamination classifications

MEASURING THE CONTAMINATION OF A SYSTEM


Solid particle contamination is measured by taking a sample of fluid from the output of
the hydraulic supply system at a location just prior to the Varco equipment and
analyzing it.

The analysis can reveal the following:

❏ Solid particle contamination of fluid delivered by suppliers


❏ Effectiveness of the system filters
❏ Flushing time when commissioning a system
❏ State of the system and any possible damage to components when making regular
checks

Taking samples

Take a sample from a moving fluid (known as dynamic sampling)

Sampling point: Take the sample within a system that is operating and which contains
turbulent flow. (See ISO 4021.)

Since obtaining a fluid sample can be an input for contamination the following general
measures should be utilized when taking a fluid sample.

❏ Utilize continuous flow monitoring equipment that records a cleanliness level over
a period of time whenever possible.
❏ Take a sample of the circulating fluid of a system that is at operating conditions and
temperature. All fluid samples shall be taken from a system test-port fitting using
a on/off flow sampling device. Never loosen or break a hydraulic fitting to establish
a leak point as a fluid source for fluid contamination sampling.
❏ Before attaching the sampling device, carefully flush out the device and clean the
system test-port fitting.
❏ Open sampling device and allow approximately 2 liters of fluid to flow through the
test port prior to sampling the fluid.
❏ Without shutting the test port, open and fill the sterile sampling bottle by holding
it in the continuous fluid stream. Cap and seal the test bottle.
❏ Label and date the sample bottle to identify the tool and sample hydraulic circuit
location.

e Only properly trained personnel should be allowed to take the fluid samples. Errors in
sampling procedures can greatly affect contamination classes below ISO 18/IS.

SM00081-C Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness 9


October 26, 2000

ANALYZING THE SAMPLES


Analyzing the fluid samples involves using a microscope to make a quick estimate of
the amount of solid particle contamination. From this assessment, you can roughly
assess the state of the system.

To avoid errors in sampling, conduct particle counting off site. Do not allow rig
personnel to attempt to check the samples at the time of sampling. Send the samples to
an appropriate institute for testing.

Usually, samples are analyzed by means of an electronic particle counter. These


particle counters are employed by major users of hydraulics, manufacturers of
hydraulic filters, and by various institutions. Since testing by an outside source may not
be easily accessible from a rig, you can make a quick assessment of the fluid samples
on the spot by using the assessment test charts in this document.

z Mobile laboratory services can also perform the measurements for customers.

Cleanliness during installation

Cleanliness during installation

Service loops
Varco service loops are blown clean in the factory and capped prior to shipment. They
are not flushed. All service loops and hoses should be flushed as part of the overall
hydraulic system prior to connecting Varco equipment.

Hydraulic pipe cleaning


z Clean hydraulic piping is critical to the cleanliness of the overall hydraulic system. The
following processes are examples of pickling, cleaning, and flushing procedures for
cleaning carbon steel and stainless steel pipes prior to hydraulic system installation and
are provided for information and reference only. Varco is typically not responsible for
any part of the pickling, cleaning, or flushing process of derrick and rig floor piping.

The process for cleaning and preparing hydraulic pipes is dependent on the type of pipe
(carbon or stainless), the condition of the pipe (pickled or not pickled), the types and
levels of contamination, the types and temperatures of the pickling and flushing
solutions in use, and the type of flushing equipment.

REFERENCE DOCUMENTS:
❏ ASTM Standard 5.02 D-4174, standard practice for cleaning, flushing, and
purification of petroleum fluid hydraulic system.

PIPE CLEANING (CARBON STEEL):


Obtain the following chemicals:

Hydrochloric acid - 35% commercial grade

Alkaline cleaner, KD-500

Potable water - Unless otherwise specified

Passivator - iron phosphate, KO-30

Inhibitor - Rodine 214 for HCL

SM00081-C Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness 11


October 26, 2000

Degrease

Spray, immerse, or circulate with alkaline cleaner. Degreasing time for pipe depends
on the nature of any contaminants present. Pipes and fittings with heavy rust, varnish
or other tough soils should be sandblasted prior to pickling.

Rinse

Rinse carbon steel pipe with potable water until all alkaline cleaner is removed.

Acid pickle

Immerse or spray the pipe with a 10-15% inhibited hydrochloric acid solution at
ambient temperature (for at least one hour) until all scale, slag, rust, etc. Is removed.
Rinse with potable water until all alkaline cleaner is removed.

Rinse

Rinse the pipe with potable water until the water reaches a neutral PH (7.0).

Flush

Begin flushing the piping with the hydraulic power unit until the desired state of
cleanliness is met.

12 Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness SM00081-C


Cleanliness during installation

PIPE CLEANING (STAINLESS STEEL)


Use the following recommended procedure for cleaning stainless steel pipe:

Obtain the following chemicals:

Nitric acid - 42% technical grade

Hydrofluoric acid - 35% technical grade

Alkaline cleaner, KD-500

Potable water - unless otherwise specified

Degrease

Spray, immerse, or circulate with alkaline cleaner. Degreasing time for pipe depends
on the nature of any contaminants present.

Rinse

Rinse pipe with portable water until all alkaline cleaner is removed.

Acid pickle

Immerse or spray the pipe with a 15-17% nitric acid/3-5% hydrofluoric acid mixture at
ambient temperature (for at least two hours) until all scale, slag, rust, etc. is removed.

Rinse

Rinse the pipe with potable water until the water reaches a neutral PH.

Passivate

Use a 10 - 15% nitric acid/75-80% potable water mixture at ambient temperature for
approximately one-half the time used in acid pickling.

Rinse

Rinse with potable water until the PH of the effluent equals the pH of the influent.

Dry

Dry with oil-free air until all visible traces of moisture are removed.

Final inspection

Use a white light to inspect all pipe and/or fittings for visible contamination. Prior to
hooking up equipment pump clean hydraulic fluid through the plumbing and measure
the contamination of the system per this specification. Additional flushing and cleaning
may be required if contamination levels do not meet the requirements of this
specification.
