6.2 Flushing by air blowing

• Flushing of all lines shall be done before pressure testing.
• Pipe must be clean to remove any foreign material/debris that may have been left behind
during the construction period. Otherwise, debris from un‐cleaned piping system can lead to
contamination, clogging pipe or control valves, malfunctioning of equipment, or damage of
rotating equipment.
• These methods utilized the kinetic energy of a fluid to dislodge foreign material such as sand,
rust and weld slag.
• Air blowing, using air from a utility air supply or a temporary compressor, can be carried out in
the following ways: In the air ‐ accumulation method, a column, drum or vessel associated
with the pipe is filled with compressed air. Then, the pipe at the downstream end is blown out
by opening the valve. In the direct ‐ blowing method, the pipe to be air ‐ blown is connected to
the air supply source using a temporary pipe or hose. In large diameter pipe (8 inch or more),
where it is difficult to get sufficient velocities for air blowing, the "cardboard‐blasting" method is
applied. First, one end of the pipe is covered by a thin polymer film/cardboard. The pressure is
slowly raised by connecting air through a hose or temporary connection. When the
film/cardboard burst, the shock waves carries the dirt along with it. The blowing or blasting
procedure is repeated until foreign particles are no longer visible in the discharge. If
necessary, the thickness of the film/cardboard can be gradually increased so that higher
pressure can be used.
