8.2.3 Storage, Handling and Control

Material Receipt, Handling, Storage, Control and Release shall be in accordance with
the requirements of this specification. Storage of austenitic stainless steels and non‐
ferrous materials shall be kept fully separated from ferritic materials to avoid
contamination.
It shall be the responsibility of the Manufacturer to inspect all materials upon
receipt, and to ensure that the correct grade of material has been supplied, and that
the identification, dimensions, material quality, and end preparation are in
accordance with the applicable standards and specifications. Procedures for the
transfer of material identification marks shall be agreed with the Construction
Manager prior to commencement of bending.
Any material which is not readily identifiable shall be removed from the site and
quarantined until its material grade and source can be confirmed. All materials shall
be stored above ground and kept free from all contaminants.
All IBR piping materials shall be verified along with the applicable IBR forms for
compliance.
When any piping material is substituted for NACE, the same shall be verified along
with the MTC for confirming the carbon content, carbon equivalent and hardness

Page 10 of 22
as specified in relevant SER. If any discrepancy observed at any of the stage, MDR
shall be raised by the concerned Reliance Engineer.
8.3 Manufacturing Process
8.3.1 Initial Checkpoints for identifying the bendable pipes
• Wall Thickness‐. It is the responsibility of the Manufacturer to select the
starting pipe with a wall thickness that does not result in the thickness of the
completed bend being less that specified by the DEC against the respective
PMS’s for the project.
• Prior to bending, the thickness of each starter pipe shall be measured and
the thickest side shall form the extrados.
• Tangents‐ A Tangent length of 463 mm over and above 1.5D radius is
required as a holding length for Induction bending.
• Pipe Matcode & Heat Number ‐ To ensure easy identification, the bendable
pipes that are selected shall have the Reliance Pipe Matcode & heat number
punched/marked (in accordance to the purchase order & MTC against which
the pipe had been procured) on outer surface of all carbon steel and alloy
steel pipes issued from warehouse and Inner surface near the open end for
pipes going to sand blasting yard prior to bending. In case of low alloy steel
pipes, color band of the respective material shall be applied on the pipe as
per the applicable project specification / customer specification.

8.3.2 MPS Qualification Bend

Prior to the start of production bending, a qualification bend shall be made, tested
from each grade of bend of starting material based on the “P No” and “Group No.”
classification and where the process variables differ from previously qualified bends.
Production bending shall not commence until the qualified MPS is approved in
writing by the Project Construction Manager.

If, in the opinion of the Project Engineering Manager, previous manufacture of bends
are satisfactory and have been proved by operational experience, then an MPS may
be approved without additional testing.

The qualification bend, of sufficient arc length to allow the extraction of the
necessary test specimens, shall be manufactured in accordance with each preliminary
MPS.

The MPS to be used for production shall, for each of the essential variables in Table
1, specify
• The values recorded during the manufacturing of the test bend;

Page 11 of 22
 • The permissible range during production bending.

The variation in essential variables shall not exceed the permissible limits
shown in Table 1.

To reduce the number of MPSs certain materials may qualify others such as

• ASTM A106 may qualify ASTM A53 material and vice versa.
• Each specification and type of austenitic stainless steel (P‐No 8) shall be
qualified individually with the exception of a higher carbon content shall be
able to qualify a lower carbon content, but not vice versa.
The qualification shall demonstrate the suitability of the bending process to provide
a product that meets the required dimensions and material properties. Records of
qualification tests shall be submitted for approval to the Construction Manager. A
sample form is shown in Attachment-I. A Separate detailed bend qualification record
shall be maintained as per Attachment – IV.

All bends, both qualification and production shall be completed in a continuous

heating cycle, with no starts or stops.
All operators of induction bending equipment shall have completed training
(including safety training) by the bending machine manufacturer and be in
possession of a certificate of competence issued by them.
During the manufacturing process the following requirements shall be maintained
for all bends.
• A continuous record of the forming conditions, in the form of a computer
print‐out or electronic copy shall be maintained for each bend.
• Seamless starting pipe is the preferred option but where bends are
manufactured from welded pipe, the bends shall have the longitudinal weld
seam positioned +/‐ 15 degrees from the neutral axis of bending.
• No girth weld shall be contained in the finished bend.
• The pipe shall be loaded into the machine so that the thickest quadrant will
lie on the extrados of the bend. If the pipe is of a welded construction, the
weld seam shall be located along the neutral axis; for compound bends the
weld seam shall be located between the planes of the bend towards the
intrados.
• Bending temperature shall be monitored from bend start to bend
completion by use of optical pyrometers.
• Pyrometers shall be focused ninety degrees from the top neutral axis with

the essential variables shown in Table 1. The production bend(s) shall be produced
in accordance and within the tolerances shown in 9.2 to 9.5. If, during production
any one of the parameters shown in Table 1 is varied outside the tolerances given,
then the production bend shall be scrapped and/or that process re‐qualified.
