A. General Requirements

All relative documents are available i.e Drawing, manufacturer SAES-G-005

A1
recommended tolerances,etc.API 686, Ch 7, Para 5.5

Tapered dowels with threaded outer ends shall be used for doweling
equipment. Threads are to be used for removing dowels. Note: Dowels SAES-G-005
A2
are furnished by the Vendor, and are installed in the field at the time of Para 5.5
final alignment.API 686, Ch 7,

The user or the designated machinery representative and the equipment

installer shall mutually agree on the appropriate type of alignment to be SAES-G-005
A3
used for rotating equipment trains.API 686, Ch 7, Para 5.5
Para. 4.1

Unless otherwise specified by the user, the equipment installer shall use
SAES-G-005
A4 laser alignment methods to align equipment trains. API 686, Ch 7, Para.
Para 5.5
4.2.1

Reverse or Rim / Face Alignment is performed while turning both shafts at

SAES-G-005
A5 the same time in the direction of rotation.API 686, Ch 7, Para. 4.2.1.2 See
Para 5.5
Note 2

Electrical power and instrumentation connections to machinery are

SAES-G-005
A6 confirmed not interfering with machinery alignment. API 686, Ch 6,
Para 5.5
Para. 4.1.4

Soft foot check is done with piping disconnected on each equipment foot.
SAES-G-005
A7 Note: Maximum permissible movement is 0.05 millimeter (2 mils) at each
Para 5.5
foot, API 686, Ch 7,Para. 5.4.4.1

Fixed and movable equipments are defined and are free to turn. API 686, SAES-G-005
A8
Ch 6, Para. 4.11.1, Ch 7, Par 5.4.4.1 Para 5.5

Data of alignment are recorded in SATR-G-2004 or approved equivalent SAES-G-005

A9
alignment form. API 610 Ch 7 Para 5.3.1 Para 5.5

For all pumps, 3 mm (1/8 in) thick stainless steel shim packs are
SAES-G-005
A10 furnished. Shim packs are not thicker than 12 mm (0,5 in) nor contain
Para 5.5
more than 5 shims. API-686. Para 5.4.2.2

Alignment is within the Manufacturer's tolerances Before Piping and

conduit are attached. Pipe strain checks are per the manufacturer's SAES-G-005
A11
procedures. Alignment is within the Manufacturer's tolerances after pipe & Para 5.5
conduit attached.API 686, Ch 7, Para. 5.4.5

The total stack thickness and number of shims shall be recorded on the
alignment datasheet. Measurement shall be recorded to the nearest 0.02
SAES-G-005
A12 mm (1 mil). For relatively large shims, the measurement will be in two or
Para 5.5
more locations to confirm the flatness requirement API 686, Ch 7, Para.
5.4.2.3

Holddown bolts are bolt bound, after final alignment the

SAES-G-005
A12 hold-down bolt hole are reasonably centered based on visual examination.
Para 5.5
(API 610.Para 5.4.3.4)

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use

 Reverse rim (dial) indicator methods or laser alignment equipment, the
SAES-G-005
A13 maximum out of tolerance is 0.5 mm per meter (0.5 mils per in.) at both
Para 5.5
flex plane locations.. (API 686.Para 5.4.6.2)

Rim and face alignment with both close coupled machines or

elastomeric couplings, the angularity shall not be greater than 0.03 SAES-G-005
A14
degrees and the offset at the center of the coupling shall not exceed 0.02 Para 5.6
mm (1 mil). (API 686.Para 5.4.6.5)

During alignment and pipe strain checks, the bearing bracket support foot
(if existing) on single stage overhung pumps shall be loosened. The
maximum amount of movement at the coupling during the tightening
process shall be 0.05 mm (2 mils). Once this alignment is completed, for SAES-G-005
A15
final acceptance, the bearing bracket support shall be shimmed and Para 5.7
tightened. The maximum amount of movement at the coupling during the
tightening of the bearing bracket support foot shall be 0.05 mm (2 mils)..
(API 686.Para 5.4.7)

Unless other wise specified, the final tightning of the hold down bolts is the
SAES-G-005
A15 Torque tightning and the values are recorded. API 686, Ch 7, Para.
Para 5.5
5.4.3.5

Final Alignment was performed AFTER Hydrotest of piping and

completion & acceptance of piping supports. NO COLD SPRING!
See Note 1 & Attachments 1 & 2.
Complete Checklists. Note: After final piping bolt- SAES-G-005
A16
up, final shaft alignment are verified and all machinery is hand rotated to Para 5.5
ensure that neither binding nor case distortion has occurred during piping
installation. Piping spring hanger & spring support stops are installed
during final shaft alignment checks.API 686, Ch 7, Para. 5.4.8, 9

REMARKS:

NOTES: 1-Complete the associated checklists of API 686 Chapter 7 & Chapter 6 & attach to this checklist. 2- Rim and face alignment is
recommended when the coupling hub or shaft end flange diameteirs greater than the spacing between indicators or one of the train elements cannot be
turn. API 686-Ch7 Sec 4- 4.2.2. Laser alignment shall be used when specified by the user or the designated machinery representative. 4.3.1 Note: 2
CAUTION—Some equipment may be damaged by rotating it in the opposite direction of normal rotation. Turning of the equipment without lubrication on
the sliding surfaces can cause damage. 5.4.3.1 Undercutting of hold-down bolts for alignment is not permitted.
