ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA REFERENCE PASS FAIL N/A RE-INSP DATE
No.
THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS CLEARLY STATED AND INTENDED IN SAUDI ARAMCO STDS TO PREVENT VALVE SEAT DAMAGE.
Code fabricated test implements can easily replace valves during system hydrotests. Cavities & other low points in the
line where debris can accumulate require special attention during cleaning. Typical flushing with air or water is
inadequate in the removal of debris from valve cavities and low points. This accumulated debris (sand, scale, metal
shavings, slag, etc) creates serious corrosion and operational problems for COMPANY. Cleaning methods shall
demonstrate adequate cleaning for all piping system components and equipment. Where items such as valve cavities
exhibit an inadequate level of cleanliness, adequate cleaning & inspection shall be performed at earliest opportunity and
addressed no later than immediately after hydrotest. Avoid flushing lines through valves & install field hydrotested valves
"after" system testing where possible. Preservation checks of valves utilizing "AMBIENT" Lay-up methods is required.
