WELDING, EXAMINATION & INSPECTION

• Refer to P&G Welding CBA WE01"General Welding System Requirements", Section 5 for complete information.

• Vendor and Contractor Welders shall use their company welding practices for all welding of piping system. These procedures
should be approved by a P&G Welding Engineer prior to use.

• P&G welders are to use P&G welding procedures. These can be found in the P&G Welding Manual located on Alliance Net.

• Refer to P&G Welding CBA WE01 "General Welding System Requirements", Section 6 and P&G Welding CBA WE05
"Specification for Purchase of Fabricated Equipment, Structures and Components" for complete information.

• Examine a sufficient number of welds to ensure conformance to local codes, such as ANSI B31.1 and B31.3, as well as the
applicable Piping Construction Specifications (PCS).

• The quality of completed welds shall meet the minimum requirements of the applicable code and shall present a good visual
appearance. Welds must be smooth, uniform, without excessive reinforcement, undercut, porosity, or root concavity. All slag,
spatter, etc., Must be removed from the completed welds.

• Many codes require exams in addition to visual, such as spot or random radiography.

• Witness pressure testing of piping. Pressure testing shall include the examination of all joints (with insulation off) for leakage,
as well as examination of the pressure gage/chart.

• All mandatory exams and tests must be performed and documented.

SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS

Overheating: Under 200°F no concern

Overcooling: No concern
Corrosion Problems: Use rust preventative and phosphate slurry coating on all internal surfaces
Reference: Not available at the time of publication
Startup Cleaning: Dry
Receipt: Railcar and Truck
Transfer:
Unloading: Positive displacement system
Reclaim: Mechanical and/or positive displacement system.
Air Conveying: Positive displacement or vacuum system
Storage: Can pick up odors, easily aerates and bridges
Particle Break Up: Critical to uniform density control
Flooding Tend to flood screw feeders when aerated
Bridging: Static build-up tends to cause cohesive arches and compaction
Caking: See bridging
Segregation: No concern
