Chilled Water Piping and Accessories Installation & Pressure Testing Page of 24

 The sealing material has to be applied homogenously and thoroughly on the

external thread, using only sealing material suitable for the application.
 A film of lubricant should be applied on the surface to be threaded in order to
prevent the sealing material from getting stuck and thus avoid irregularities in
the sealing effect.
 Check if all axes of the different threaded joint components are aligned according
to the tolerance.

9.6 Welding connection procedure:

In order to ensure that all welding takes place in safe manner, the following will be
considered:
 Welders
 The welding Equipment
 Working location
 Working instructions.

Welder:

 The welders to be trained and certified

 The welder must be healthy
 The welder must be trained for safe work i.e. toolbox talk etc.

Equipment:

On site, arc welding is usually carried out with direct current (DC), supplied from
diesel driven generator or Power source. Welding leads and welding return cables
are frequently dragged over rough surface, their insulation should therefore be
suitable for resisting fear and wear.
 The cables and couplings should be examined frequently for defects.
 The part of the cable which connected to the electrode holder should be
as flexible as possible.
 The welding return should be firmly connected to the metal by
constructed clamp.
 Electrode holder should be fully insulated.
 Electrode holder is essentially a pair of spring-loaded jaws.

Chilled Water Piping and Accessories Installation & Pressure Testing Page of 24

 The electrode holder must be made from good quality material.

Working requirements:

 Arrange good ventilation in case of welding enclosed resets.

 Insulated materials will be used in case of wet floor.
 Working instructions.
 Fire extinguisher required with welding all the time.
 Screens to be used when necessary, available all the time.
 Avoid welding near flammable materials.
 Checking area before leaving is strongly required.
 Monitoring of the area for gasses will be done.

Testing of welded pipework installation:

 Testing of welded pipework installation shall be by either destructive of

nondestructive test method.
 Destructive Testing & examination shall be exactly as detailed under Test
for Welder Qualification.
 Non-Destructive Testing shall consist of radiographic inspection. This test
shall be carried out by a specialist consultant approved by the Consultant.
The specialist consultant shall provide a report on the Radiographic Test
which has been made which includes interpretative results.
 The radiographs which do not comply with the requirement, shall be
unacceptable & the weld in question shall be re-examined.
 If a weld fails the testing requirements, then two additional welds made
by the same operative shall be tested, at no cost to the contract. If both
additional welds are successful then, in the case of destructive testing,
the cost of making good shall be at no cost to the contract.
 If either of the two additional welds fails the test requirements, then
further tests on other or all of the welds made by that operative shall be
carried out, at the Consultant discretion.
