1. INTRODUCTION
Occidental of Oman Inc. upgrades carbon steel pipeline network with HDPE lining for
Produced water injection distribution network. The pipeline location for HOPE lining are
in Sultanate of Oman with projects sites in Wadi Aswad, Wadi Latham and Safah for
various size carbon steel pipes of diameter 20”, 16”, 12”, 10”, 8", 6” and 4” pipelines.
Occidental of Oman is the client, Al- Ghalbi Engineering & Contracting L.L.C is the main
contractor and Anticorrosion Protective Systems Est. is the sub-contractor for HDPE
lining of carbon steel pipelines.

BEND TEST PROCEDURE
5. BEND TEST PROCEDURE
5.1 VISUAL INSPECTION & CUTTING OF STRAPS
u
Prior to go ahead and cut test straps, the _butt fused welded joint is to be visually inspected
and one once the butt fusion welded joints visually inspected.
All welded joints shall be visually inspected for visual defects prior to bend test as indicated in
ASTM F 2620-13.

5.2 BEND BACK TEST
The destructive bend test procedure used for fusion weld testing shall be based on the following.
test parameters
5.2.1 TEST STRAP SELECTION
Once butt fused joint is visually accepted then the external bead shall be removed by utilizing an
external bead remover. Test strap are selected from the butt fused joints and test samples are
cut off in transverse to the weld from different weld locations as indicate in below figure.

a
Internal bead shall be removed once the test samples are cut off to the required dimensions.

5.3. PASS CRITERIA Lyon? -
The sample must be free tonics nd separation with in the fusion join location. If failure
does occur at the weld in and of the samples then weld parameters need to be re-check and
new joint to be welded and re-tested
5.4 TEST FREQUENCY
