pitch as per Tube sheet drawing.
5. Measure and record the tube hole inside diameter (ID).
6. Cut tube 150 mm long other than tube sheet thickness and tube projection length as per
drawing from the same material & wall thickness to be used in job.
7. Measure & record tube ID & tube OD.
8. Put mandrel of proper length, based on required expansion length.
9. Carry out expansion of tube of at least of 09 nos. Tube by mechanical expansion (Tube
rolling).
10. Measure & record increase in the tube ID.
11. Calculate % of thinning of tube using the following formula.

Notes:

-Thinning the tube should be in the range of 1 – 5 %.

Inspection after expansion.

- 100% tubes shall be inspected to ensure that the tubes are expanded.

2) PURPOSE

Hydrostatic pressure test is carried out to ensure mechanical integrity of the

fabricated vessel and the ability of it to sustain internal hydro pressure.

3) SCOPE
This procedure is applicable to all hydrostatic tests of vessels being performed by
Suria Engineering.

 PREPARATION:
Vessel shall be placed in horizontal position on bags filled with fine sand.
Test shall be carried out after completion of all welding activities, Radiographic
tests, and DPT (if applicable) but before surface treatment.

It shall be insured that 100% welding has been completed and all weld seams
shall visually be inspected from inside with proper lighting arranged.

All cleats, erection attachments, remaining weld tacks near weld seam shall be
removed by proper grinding. In case of excessive grinding during removal of
attachments, that portion shall be built-up by tack welds.

All loose material and debris shall be removed from vessel.

All openings shall be blanked-off and temporary rubber sheet gaskets shall be
used for sealing purpose.

One vent shall be provided to remove the air pockets/ bubbles. (Filling shall be
continued till the over flow from the vent.)

Connect the water piping for supply and drain.

All nozzles will be boxed up prior to filling of water with temporary rubber
gaskets, seals, and Teflon except vents, inlet and outlet nozzles.

Two calibrated pressure gauges shall be installed out of which one will be at
the highest point of the vessel.

A temperature gauge will also be available to ensure the required water/metal

temperature.
 STORAGE OF WATER:
Water shall be stored in underground concrete tanks already constructed
and available at shop.

4) WATER QUALITY:
Sweet water shall be used for leak test. In case of stainless-steel vessel, the
chloride content of the water shall not be exceedingly more than 50 ppm (mg/l). The
water shall also be clear of any solid particles.

 PROCEDURE:
Blind flanges of all the highest point nozzles and vents shall be kept loose.
Water shall be filled through any nozzle until it starts to overflow from all the nozzles to
remove entrapped air.
Loose blind flanges shall be tightened and air shall be removed from filling point.

Pressure shall be increased gradually. Test pressure should be 1.3 times of working or
design pressure.

During Hydrostatic Test metal surface temperature should neither be below 16 0C nor
above 480C.

Once the pressure is increased to the working/ design pressure and all tubes, nozzles,
bolting and the weld seams should be checked for any leek.

After satisfactory result the pressure shall be increased to the required mark.
Once the pressure is reached to the required mark it should be maintained for 30
minutes or for the time specified by the vessel designer.

All joints, connections and welds shall be examined for leakage.

Drop the pressure back to working/ design pressure and maintain it for another 30
minutes and check for any leakages.

Gradually release the pressure to avoid bulging of the vessel caused by sudden
vacuum created upon rapid release of water.

All the highest points nozzles blind covers shall be loosen before draining of
water from the column. After that water to be drained from any suitable nozzle as
per physical situation.

Any left-over water shall be removed by blowing air.

 SAFETY:
All tools being used should be appropriate and in proper operating condition.
Only qualified and skilled personnel appointed by the QA/QC manager shall be allowed
to conduct the test.

Sign shall be displayed to indicate the pressure test is in progress and the area shall
be barricaded.
 INSPECTION AND RECTIFICATION:
Any leak shall be identified and marked on the vessel. The area shall be documented.
The vessel shall be completely drained and defective welds / joints shall be repaired.

All leaks shall be repaired by approved weld repair procedure. Dye Penetrate test of all
repairs shall be carried out.

The vessel shall be retested until it is satisfactorily passed.

Applicable forms and documents shall be filled which will become part of the
Manufacturer’s Data Report to be submitted to the client at the time of delivery.

 REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
Fabrication codes: ASME VIII div. 1.
Client’s/ Designer’s procedural documents.

10) General:

This procedure covers the outline of procedure adapted for the sand blasting
and primer application for structure.

3) Surface Preparation:

 Surface preparation shall be carried out by sand blasting and shall be

carried out after completion of fabrication.

 Sand blasting method shall be adopted for surface preparation. Before

blasting it shall be ensured that all weld spatters, flux and slag are removed
from weld beads.

 It shall be ensured that blasting nozzle pressure is suitable for achievement of

require profile of the blasted surface.

 Sand blasting could be done in late hours of a day but subject to weather condition.
Sand blasting shall not be done when surface temperature is less than 3°C above
the dew point and relative humidity is greater than 85% or there is a possibility that
blasted surface shall be subject to wetting before application of primer.

 Before blasting, oil, grease or other oily objects, if any, shall be removed with the
help of any detergent wash.

 All painted identification marks on parts of equipment shall be marked

permanently with the help of “Hard Punching”.

 To prevent the appearance of rust on blasted surface, primer shall be applied

within 3-4 hrs time.

4) PAINT APPLICATION:

Before starting of painting activities, "Manufacturer’s Data Sheets" will be reviewed

for type of components and their mixing ratio, pot life, coverage against DFT,
recommended thinner and drying time for over coating.

Activities involved in primer application are as below:

3.1) Primer Mixing:

Base will be stirred thoroughly to homogenize. Then hardener will be added to base
in recommended ratio as mentioned in “Manufacturer's Data Sheet” with constant
stirring. A
recommended solvent shall be mixed for required thinning of primer.

3.2) Primer Application:

3.2.1) Primer Application Method:

Roller and or brush shall be used for application of Primer, if not restricted by Primer
Specification Sheets” by manufacturer.

3.2.2) Production Painting (Primer Coats):

 After sand blasting primer shall be applied within 3 to 4 hours of blasting activity.

 After each coat, surface will be left for a period recommended for drying and recoating.

 Such quantity of primer shall be removed from containers and mixed with
hardeners and thinner, which must be consumed same day and with-in the Pot-life
time.

 Recommended quantity of thinner shall be added to achieve required flow ability of

primer.

 While applying the primer care shall be taken that paint should not be dripped,
sagged, skipped or dripped-off during application or immediately after application, if
these defects are detected then immediately be dressed with brush. If defect is not cured
then primer shall be removed completely and re-coated with the same system.
