for correct alignment.

a. Field to coat all bolted field splices with asphaltic coating prior to setting subsequent modules as specified
on the erection drawings (Ref. MB15-1TS Article 3.6). Do not coat field splices at column locations due to
welding requirement of column.

b. All bolted connections, located anywhere on the furnace, with oversized or slotted connections must include
washers.

3.3.3 Calculate the ratio of each counterweight to the total counterweight for radiant coil sub-assembly, from
Table A of Drawing 219-D05.

3.3.4 Start balancing with counterweights in Table A of Drawing 219-D05.

3.3.5 Add counterweights in the proportion of the ratios in 3.3.3 until the system moves upward.

3.3.8 Adjust the counterweights and balance all remaining radiant coil sub assemblies using the above
procedure. Record all final weights at each counterweight location.

3.3.9 Install arch seal plates complete installation.

3.3.10 Raise or lower the radiant coil sub-assemblies to bring them to the proper elevation per
Drawing 219-D02. Verify that the sub-assemblies are leveled.

3.3.11 Check the alignment, orientation and location of the radiant coils with respect to the radiant arch seal
plates and floor guide sleeves. Measure and record all dimensions. The dimension from radiant coil guide
extension RP-8 to floor plate should be 25 mm per Drawings 219-D03 and 219-D08 Detail #5.

3.3.12 Field weld shop assembly WC-1 to radiant coils and outlet piping.

(Note: It is essential to ensure and verify that all sub-assemblies are clean of debris such as metal shavings,
weld flux, etc.

3.3.13 Tack-weld the wye fittings OF-3 to the radiant coil sub-assemblies and outlet piping to exchangers.

3.3.14 Verify all flange fit-ups of outlet piping up to exchangers. Also, verify outlet piping support and slide
plates per Drawing 219-D08.

3.3.15 Block the radiant coil sub-assemblies, wye fittings and outlet piping. Weld wye fittings to the radiant coil
sub-assemblies and to the outlet piping after all clearances and fit-ups are verified. Remove all blocking
materials.

3.3.16 Mark all tube penetrations through radiant arch, 125 mm from penetration sleeves, with a water insoluble
material that contains no harmful substance, e.g. metallic pigments, sulfur or chlorides which would attack or
harmfully affect the material at ambient or elevated temperatures. Also, mark radiant coil guide extension RP-8
in line with the floor guide sleeve with the same marker.

3.3.17 Install bulk ceramic fiber insulation at floor guides.

3.3.18 Install crossover piping with temporary supports as required, beginning at the mixed feed outlet and
radiant inlets. (Do not weld crossovers to mixed feed outlet and radiant inlets at this time.)

3.3.19 Make necessary intermediate field welds in crossover piping, ensuring that the pipe is clean and free of
debris.

3.3.20 Install counterweight assemblies for the crossovers including filling counterweight cans with concrete per
design drawing 219-D06 ensuring that sheaves are correctly aligned with cables and are free to rotate.

3.3.21 The following guideline is provided for crossovers balancing and counterweight for each crossover.

a. Provide temporary support for the horizontal section of the crossover. Also, use safety ropes to prevent the
crossover from dropping.

b. Tie approximately 28 kg per linear meter to the crossover to simulate the uniformly distributed weight of the
crossover insulation. The calculated counterweight loads were based on a 25 mm thick inner layer of
ceramic fiber blanket with an assumed density of 192 kg/m3 covered with a 125 mm thick layer of calcium
silicate insulation with an assumed density of 240 kg/m3.

c. Lubricate cables, etc. to reduce friction.

d. Calculate the ratio of each counterweight to the total for each counterweight from Table I of Drawing
219-D06.

the counterweight removed at each location.)

h. Add half the counterweights noted in step g.

i. Check crossover to ensure it moves up and down with an equal amount of force applied. This completes
the crossover balancing.

j. Adjust counterweights and balance all the remaining crossovers using the above procedure. Record all
final weights at each counterweight location.

k. Raise or lower the crossovers to align them with mixed feed outlets and radiant inlets. Verify that the
crossovers are leveled and the crossover stops are in correct position per Drawing 219-D06 details 1 and
1A. Block the crossovers in place.
