Pass Fail Remarks
Remove the hydrotest water from the system. For facilities
other than pipelines, drain the system completely, sweep and
mop as required to ensure that no visible traces of water
remain.
Shut in system, maintain & monitor during lay-up period.
When seawater or similar high salinity water has been used
as the hydrotest media, remove salts from the metal surface
by rinsing with a low-salinity water containing less than 4,500
ppm total dissolved solids.
Shut in the system, maintain and monitor the pressure per
SAES-A-007 para 5.2.2.4 during the lay-up period.
Immediately after dewatering, start drying the system to a dew
point that will ensure a dew point of -1C or less at the final lay-
up pressure at all exit points.
Measure Dew Point Temp -1C or less after Shut-In Period
SAUDI ARAMCO ID/PID - 18-MAY-05 - REV 0 (Standards Cutoff -August 2010) Rev 5 31-Aug-10
Displace the hydrostatic test water with nitrogen or sweet gas
until no water drains out of the system.
Shut in the system at 2-10% of operating pressure but not
exceeding 50 psig with nitrogen or hydrocarbon gas.
Displace the hydrostatic test water by positive pressure with
nitrogen or sweet gas until no water drains out of the system.
Shut in the system under positive pressure until
commissioning and start-up.
Ensure that systems being drained have vacuum relief valves
and pressure relief valves as necessary to protect the system.
Minimum residual oxygen scavenger concetration in water
shall be 20 ppm & maximum O2 concentration of 10 ppb
Maintain the system under a positive pressure between 30 to
50 psig using nitrogen, sweet hydrocarbon gas or hydraulic
pressure of the treated water
Use gauges to monitor the positive pressure in the system
during lay-up with a scale range not exceeding three times the
target pressure. (Gauges must withstand MAOP)
