TITLE: TECHNICAL DELIVERY CONDITIONS FOR CARBON STEEL CASTINGS FOR TECHNIP BAPCO
PROJECT
1.0 SCOPE:
This Procedure describes the requirements for Carbon Steel Castings specific to Technip Bapco project.

TDC – 001 shall apply to all the general requirements.

2.0 APPLICATION:
The Foundries shall manufacture the casting strictly to this procedure, when specified in the Purchase Order.

3.0 REFERENCE SPECIFICATION:

ASTM A216/A216M (2018)- Standard Specification for steel Castings, Carbon, Suitable for fusion welding, for
High-Temperature Service

4.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CARBON STEEL CASTINGS

4.1 RAW MATERIAL CONTROL:

Raw material shall be checked for chemical composition using Spectrometer. The accepted Raw material shall
be stored separately with Identification. Special NACE blooms only to be used which was refined through
Vaccum Degassing process.

Raw material shall be stored in covered area and free from Oil, Grease and other contamination.

4.2 MELTING AND POURING:

4.2.1 Raw material shall be melted in Electric furnace.

4.2.2 Bath analysis shall be done after melting to check the chemistry by Spectrometer. Based on bath
analysis, Ferro alloy addition shall be done as required.

4.2.3 Carbon Steels shall be fully killed.

4.2.4 Deoxidation shall be done in the ladle by using suitable deoxidising chemical.

5.0 HEAT TREATMENT:

All castings and test bars hall be heat treated as per TDC 001.
