control valves, orifice fittings, etc. shall be removed and dummy spools
to be installed until the duration of the test is completed. Spools used
shall be ANSI flanged and pipe of correct schedule, the weld will be
visually inspected for safety purposes.

d) Ensure all boundary limit valves are closed.

e) At least one (1) day before flushing commences, contractor Site Supervisor
shall inform the QA/QC, Client’s Representative for witnessing the test. All
details for lines inspections are to be highlight in the inspection Requisition.
