PIPING/HYDRO/WELDING)
ADD SATIPS FOR UG PIPING TO THIS LIST & SAICs FOR
PUNCHLISTING
ADD PLANT FIREWATER SAES-B-017/019 & SATIPs ...
Section 12.6
ADD SATIPs SAES-S Series (S-010, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 all)
SATIP-L-350 related to UG Piping (Understands connection)
Have copies of other applicable piping/hydro standards at Test
site, have open book discussion forum with candidate.
Allow candidate time and stress the importance of using
Scope & Index when referring to Standards or searching
for references. USE PLANT PIPING CHECKLIST AS
REFERENCE FOR TEST & ISO drawing Test
Identify the lowest point elevation on all drawings
Identify any Mark Numbers on drawings (samples given)
Identify any unusual features or items to be removed for
hydrotest
On each Drawing, list the following at the bottom of the
drawing:
Line number
Piping Class
Flange ratings
Gasket types
Limiting Factor for Hydrotest
Medium for testing
SAES-A-004 (Pressure Testing)
SAES-L-105 (Piping Material Specifications)
o Line Class Designators
Where are the Saudi Aramco Line Class Designators
and Service Codes. See Sect. 7, have candidate
break down example of 6-CA-127-1CS3C.
Flange tolerances during construction are found where? SAESL-050 & PFI-ES-3.
Describe how flanges can be misaligned in different
directions? Rotational offset & hole misalignment, misaligned
vertically & horiz
What is cold spring? Application of mechanical stress (bending
twisting pulling) upon a piping segment to achieve bolting and
connection to another segment. Is cold spring acceptable? No
How can an inspector determine if cold spring exists visually
on a flanged section of piping? Visual determination is easy.
Close inspection of flanged connection and any visible
deformation, especially in small diameter sections.
Clearances (SAES-S-070)
REVIEW closely for obvious violations before piping
construction
Candidate must be able to discuss easily clearances required
in SAES-S-070
