which equipment shall work, and the recommendations of British Standard Code of Practice
1014 should be observed unless otherwise approved. Some relaxation of the following
provisions may be permitted where equipment is hermetically sealed but it is preferred that

184E/2020
tropical grade materials should be used whenever possible.
1) Metals: Iron and steel are generally to be painted or galvanized as appropriate. Indoor
parts may alternatively have chromium or copper-nickel plates or other approved
protective finish. Small iron and steel parts (other than rustless steel) of all instruments
and electrical equipment, the cores of electromagnets and the metal parts of relays and
mechanisms shall be treated in an approved manner to prevent rusting.
2) Screws, Nuts, springs, etc.: The use of iron and steel shall be avoided in instruments and
electrical relays wherever possible. Steel screws shall be zinc, cadmium or chromium
plated, or when plating is not possible owing to tolerance limitations, shall be of corrosion-
resisting steel. Instruments screws (except those forming part of a magnetic circuit) shall
be of brass or bronze. Springs shall be of non-rusting material, e.g., phosphor-bronze or
nickel silver, as far as possible.
3) Rubbers: Neoprene and similar synthetic compounds, not subject to deterioration due to
the climatic conditions, shall be used for gaskets, sealing rings, diaphragms, etc.
3.32. NUTS, BOLTS, STUDS AND WASHERS

contact with sea water. Cast-iron is not to be used for any part of the equipment which is in
tension or which is subject to impact stresses.
3.36. WELDING
In all cases where fabrication welds are liable to be highly stressed, such as may be the case
in pressure parts or parts subjected to rotational stresses or reversal of stresses in operation,
the Contractor shall supply the Authority/Engineer with a general arrangement drawing of the
fabrication and, at a later date but before fabrication commences, a detailed drawing of all
proposed weld preparations on the fabrication.
Before such welding commences, the Contractor shall satisfy the Authority/Engineer that the
welders or welding operators are qualified in accordance with the requirements of the
appropriate section of B.S. 2645 or other relevant British Standard Specification or any other
equivalent.
After scrutinizing the general arrangement and welding detail drawing, the Authority/Engineer
will inform the Contractor of the stages at which inspection will be required. It will be the
Contractor's responsibility to notify the Authority/Engineer when one or more of the
inspection stages will be reached and no further work shall be carried out until the specified
stage has passed the Authority/Engineer's inspection.
In addition to the above, the Authority/Engineer reserves the right to visit the Contractor's works
at any reasonable time during fabrication of the items of plant and to familiarize himself with
the progress made and the quality of the work to date.
In the event of the Contractor wishing to make an alteration to any part of the weld preparation,
he shall first submit to the Authority/Engineer a copy of the revised drawing showing the
amended preparation in detail and to await confirmation of its acceptance or non-acceptance.
All tests shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant British Standards or by agreement
between the Authority/Engineer and the Contractor. All welding and tests on items of plant
shall be carried out to the complete satisfaction of the Authority/Engineer. Mechanical tests
shall be carried out in the presence of the Authority/Engineer, as required. Where required by
this Specification, nondestructive examination of the finished weld shall be made. If the
examination be by radiographic means, then the recommendations of B.S.2600 or 2910 where
applicable shall be followed and the resulting negatives shall be made available to the
Authority/Engineer. If the examinations be by means other than radiograph, then such
examinations shall be made in the presence of the Authority/Engineer's representative.

of the damage found on Site to a galvanized part appears to be capable of repair the Contractor
may, after receiving such agreement, attempt to effect a repair by approved methods. The
agreement to attempt the repair shall not bind the Authority/Engineer to accept the repaired
part when this is re-offered for inspection.
Should any emergency arise on Site necessitating drilling, cutting or any other process likely
to damage the protective zinc surface, this will be permitted only in extreme circumstances and
with the Authority/Engineer's express authority. In such a case, the bared metal will be coated
with an approved zinc dust paint or other approved flake metallic compound.
In the event that it is found that galvanized parts are subject to the formation of white rust
during shipment or storage on Site, the Authority/Engineer shall either:
a) Approve a system of scrubbing and protective painting to be applied on Site, if in his opinion this
is expedient.
b) forthwith order that the affected parts shall be condemned and that all future shipments
shall receive, before dispatch from the Works, special dip or spray treatment to individual
members to his approval without extra charge to the Authority
Either of the above measures shall not be held as a cause for failure to meet the Completion
Date.
