0.0. ;;::168.3mm (NPS 6) 0.0.;;::168.3mm (NPS 6)
The use of qualification tests made on plate to qualify welders and/or welding operators for
pipework is not permitted.

11.0 WELDING DESIGN AND PREPARATION FOR WELDING

11.1 JOINT FIT-UP
Poor fit-up of the joint is considered to be the most common cause of bad welds. For consistent
weld quality, the dimensions specified in the qualified WPSs should be adhered to.
Joint preparation should be optimised to avoid the following conditions:-
a. If the bevel is too narrow, lack of fusion and trapped slag may result. A thick root face or a
narrow gap can cause lack of penetration of the weld metal into the root.
b. A feather edge (thin root face) or a wide gap can cause excessive penetration. If the welder
tries to correct for this by welding faster, then lack of penetration, trapped slag, porosity
and lack of fusion may occur.
11.2 THICKNESS VARIATIONS
Abrupt changes in thickness can cause high stress concentrations. A welder cannot make a
good butt weld in pipe welded from one side if the two components are not essentially flush at
the inner or back surface of the joint. For pressure piping this problem is solved by using a 1:4
taper on the thicker member.
Seamless pipe often has significant variations in wall thickness because the 10 and 00 are
not concentric. Welding difficulties can be encountered when the thicker portion of the wall of
one pipe is matched with the thinner portion on the other. This is solved by counter boring the
pipe to give the same 10 or by trimming the thicker pipe to get an 10 match. Misalignment of
equal wall thicknesses (high-low) on pipe or plate should be held to 1.6 mm or 0.1t for
thicknesses more than 3 mm and 0.25t when thicknesses is less than 3 mm. Larger
misalignment of high-low can result not only in a severe notch or stress raiser, but also in lack
of fusion, lack of penetration and slag inclusions.
11.3 CUTTING
All weld preparations including fittings shall, wherever possible, be machined on. Where this
is not possible, the weld preparations may be thermally cut with the prior approval of QP rep.

PWoIam

If flame cutting is used the cut surface shall be dressed to remove approximately 2mm of
material from the bevel by grinding.
NOTE: Gougingis only to be usedfor the repair of defects or the preparationof the second side of
a double sidedjoint prior to welding it out.
All surfaces to be welded shall be 100% visually inspected and shall be free from burrs, tears,
cracks or any other discontinuity which would adversely affect the weld quality.
All cut edges and surfaces for a distance of 150 mm back from the weld preparation (including
the outer surface of nozzles) shall be examined by MT/PT, and for Carbon Steel, ultrasonic
examination shall be used if the thickness exceeds 6mm and the pipe is longitudinally seam
welded. Laminations are not acceptable and should a lamination type defect be detected, the
problem should be referred to QP rep. before proceeding any further work.
11.4 CLEANING
Removal of foreign materials such as rust, sand, oxide scale, oil or grease, paint and cutting
dross resulting from flame cutting or arc-air gouging is essential prior to welding. This can be
accomplished by grit blasting, grinding, degreasing or pickling.
Cleaning of the base material shall extend for at least 75 from the edge of the bevel on both
the internal and external surfaces of the parts to be welded. This area shall also be degreased
prior to welding using a suitable chloride-free and sulphide-free solvent.
Where thermal cutting is used the surface which will be incorporated into the completed joint
shall be dressed back by grinding to remove any notches and scales, the cut surface shall be
dressed to remove approximately 2mm of material from the bevel by grinding.
For alloy and stainless steel, the pipe and fitting surface shall be wire brushed using a stainless
steel wire brush for a distance of 75mm up the bore and on the outer surface. This area shall
also be degreased prior to welding using a suitable chloride free solvent.
11.5 ALIGNMENT
a. Tack Welds
All tack welding, shall be accomplished with low hydrogen processes, which shall deposit
weld metal with a diffusible hydrogen content less than 5ml per 100gm of deposited weld
metal.
Tack welds for fit-up should be kept short, approximately 13 mm to 25mm long and ground
to a feather edge in order to eliminate poor fusion and cracks. They shall be of two passes
and of sufficient cross section to prevent cracking and shall be deposited with the same
care, materials, electrodes, preheat and procedures as permanent welds.
Tack welds shall be removed completely from heavy wall pipe as they can result in
incomplete weld penetration along their length.
Where bullets are used instead of tack welds they shall be of a compatible material
approved by QP rep., shall be spaced uniformly around the circumference and shall not
be welded in the root.
b. Circumferential Welds
The maximum internal pipe diameter misalignment shall be 0.25t where 't' is less than
3mm and 1.6mm when 't' is larger than 3mm, where 't' is the pipe wall thickness.
c. Fabrication Tolerances
The dimensions of the fabricated piping shall conform to the dimensions on the piping
drawings and the tolerances shown in Figure 1.
Allowances for gasket thickness shall be as dimensioned on the drawings.
Pipe runs shall not deviate from the horizontal or vertical by more than 3mm in every
1000mm, unless otherwise specified on the drawing.

PROXIMITY OF WELDS
Rev. 1

Adjacent welds shall be separated by a minimum distance between the toes of four (4) times
the nominal wall thickness of the pipe but not less than 50mm. This is in order to avoid the
lining up or the overlapping of the weld heat affected zones (HAZ) which can weaken the joints
and result in failure during service.
If unavoidable the contractor shall seek approval for the specific configuration from QP and the
area to be welded over shall be subjected to 100% surface crack detection and 100%
ultrasonic examination prior to welding. After welding the Joints, the adjacent area shall be
similarly examined.

_~Pitr~ DOC. No. QP-SPC-R-010-1 Rev. 1

Only gas supplied by the manufacturer in specially marked containers shall be used. Gas purity
and quality for all containers shall be certified before use. Gases that are of questionable purity
and those in containers that show signs of damage shall not be used. All containers shall be
stored away from direct sunlight.
13.0 WELD EXECUTION
13.1 WORKMANSHIP
Arc strikes, gouges and other indications of careless workmanship can result in service failure
and should therefore be prevented.
Clean, sound weld metal shall be provided as a base for further weld metal deposition and this
may necessitate grinding.
Each run of weld metal shall be thoroughly cleaned and all slag removed prior to deposition of
the next run. The welding arc shall only be struck on the parent metal fusion faces or deposited
weld metal.
13.2 WELDING PROCESS
All pipes 2" NPS and below shall be fully welded using the GTAW process. For pipes in the
range 21/2" to 6" inclusive a GTAW root pass is preferred and a hot pass deposited by the
SMAW process using a 2.5 mm diameter electrode. All pipes greater than 6" may have the
root deposited using SMAW.
Vertical down welding shall not be used under any circumstances.
13.3 WELD BEAD SEQUENCE AND WEAVING
Controlling the deposition sequence of weld beads is a very effective method of reducing the
level of residual stresses and hardness and achieving good toughness in the welded joint. All
SMAW welding shall be performed by the stringer bead technique and the maximum bead
width for SMAW shall be:- 2.5 to 3 times the core diameter of the electrode.and for SAW -
7 times the diameter of the filler wire.
Unless specifically agreed otherwise, welding and preheat maintenance shall be a continuous
operation.
Welding shall not be interrupted nor shall a joint be lifted or transported before 50% of the
throat thickness has been deposited.
When an interruption in welding is agreed, the preheat may be removed if slow controlled
cooling of the weld area by the use of insulation blankets is ensured. In any event, the joint
shall be inspected visually and by MT/PT for linear defects prior to recommencement of
welding and full preheating shall always be re-established before welding is restarted.
13.4 SEAL WELDING
Seal welding of threaded connections and auxiliary piping associated with machinery and
instruments is required to prevent possible leaks of corrosive, flammable or toxic gases/fluids.
Seal welding is also required on structures and equipment that are located offshore or in high
moisture containing environments to protect against crevice corrosion. Seal welds are not
strength welds.
The requirement to seal weld all exposed threads is to prevent crack initiation at the root of the
thread due to equipment vibration and notch effect. Small diameter electrodes should be used
to minimise possible distortion due to the welding heat. A minimum of two weld passes should
be used to seal threaded connections in order to minimise residual stresses.
A qualified welder shall perform welding in accordance with a qualified welding procedure.

13.5 SOCKET WELDING

A common error in socket welding is failure to leave a clearance between the inserted tip of
the branch connection or pipe nipple, and the recessed surface of the sockets on headers,
valves, flanges, etc.,. This can result in service failure of the socket weld due to the large
internal stresses induced by the solidification of the weld metal and the expansion/contraction
of the components being welded. A minimum of 1.6 mm joint clearance should be allowed to
prevent socket weld failures.
Note: Installation and Welding of threaded sockets on to pipe should be avoided. Where
instrument take offs are required, then a branch fitting should be installed and welded
14.0 PREHEAT AND INTERPASS TEMPERATURE
14.1 PREHEAT
Preheating shall be carried out by electrical resistance or with gas burners specifically made
and shaped for the operation. Hand held torches shall not be used for preheating purposes
unless approved by QP.
Note: Electrical resistance pads are the preferred method of preheating.
If the scope of work involves making welded connections to existing pipework of A 106 Grade
Band A333 Grade 6 (or equivalents) then the preheat shall be in accordance with the
requirements of Appendix I of this specification.
If the welded connections are in purely new pipe then the preheat shall be as specified on the
appropriate WPS or Appendix II
The method of applying preheat shall be by either gas burner or electrical preheating elements.
If a gas burner is utilised then the heating gas shall be acetylene or propane only combined
with a suitable heating nozzle.
Welding and/or cutting nozzles shall not be used for preheating.
Preheat shall be applied and maintained over the full length of the joint and for a width of 75mm
each side of the joint for the duration of welding.
The preheat temperature shall be measured by digital thermometer or thermocouples.
Lagging shall be provided on adjacent areas, if necessary to maintain the required degree of
preheat.
14.2 INTERPASS TEMPERATURE
During welding, the interpass temperature shall not exceed the following and shall not be less
than the minimum preheat.
Material * Interpass
C & C-Mn Steels 250°C
300 Series Austenitic Stainless Steels 175°C
Nickel Base Alloys 150°C

* Interpass temperature may be vary depend on the material grade

14.3 POST WELD HEAT TREATMENT
Where post weld heat treatment is required then it shall be carried out in accordance with the
requirements of Appendix II of this specification.
LOCAL PWHT
PWHT of localised welds in piping and pipefittings is often required during repair and
maintenance are usually carried out by local methods. Precautions must be taken to avoid

Doc. File No.: SPC.R.010-1 R1 Page 14 of 39 Custodian Dept.: ~

 QP SPECIFICATION FOR MAINTENANCE WELDING
Part 1: Process Piping (Offshore)

W~ DOC. No. QP-SPC-R-010-1 Rev. 1

damaging the part being heat-treated. Before heating, the work should be adequately
supported and free to expand.
All local PWHT shall be carried out using electrical resistance pads wrapped around the pipe.
For local PWHT, the welded joint shall be well insulated and temperature measured using
thermocouples, which shall be welded and covered effectively with putty. The temperature
shall be measured constantly on an automatic chart recorder.
The number of thermocouples used shall be as per Appendix II of this specificatiori. A
maximum temperature spread of 120°C among thermocouples is recommended during
heating and cooling above 300°C. At the heat treatment temperature, the permissible range is
usually+ 10°C.
It is advisable, where practicable, to plug off the ends to prevent drafts. Insulation should not
be removed until the metal has cooled down to about 300°C.
15.0 REPAIR WELDING
15.1 WELDING DEFECTS
A number of defects, including incomplete penetration, excessive penetration and lack of
fusion, usually occur as a result of poor joint preparation, improper bevel, root gap, root face,
etc., They can also occur as a result of poor welding technique as can undercut, burn through,
porosity and slag inclusions.
Acceptance and rejection of weld defects shall be as specified in Appendix- IV. The nature of
the service should always be considered when accepting weld defects. For example, a slight
undercut on a vibrating compressor-piping weld could be much more serious than lack of
penetration in a water line. Good judgement must be used in evaluating the seriousness of
weld defects.
15.2 REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE WELDS
A common problem in repair work is failure to remove the entire defect before making the
repair weld, resulting in a reject on post-weld NDT. The technique of defect removal should be
such as to assure that the defect has been eliminated before re-welding. This requires close
inspection.
In addition, it is common for the repair weld to be worse than the original defect. This is because
the gouged out area has an excessively wide gap and feather edges. This can be avoided by
good techniques in metal removal. If such conditions exist, however, then a three-stringer-
bead technique should be utilised. This involves the deposition of a stringer bead on each side
of the ground bevel to narrow down the gap and depositing a closing bead at the centre to
provide a sound weld.
The extent of cracks in welds or base metal shall be ascertained by the use of non-destructive
inspection. The cause of cracking shall be established prior to removal/repair and a full report
issued on the cause and the proposed corrective action.
The removal of defective areas shall be done by chipping, grinding, machining or thermal
cutting. Where any thermal process is employed the minimum preheat that would be used for
welding that material shall be applied. When thermal cutting is to be used for removing a
complete weld prior to repair, the last 6mm through the root shall be removed by mechanical
means.
The resulting excavation shall ensure complete removal of the defect, shall be of a profile
suitable for welding and shall be ground to bright metal. The removal of the defect shall be
assured by either MT or PT.

~~ DOC. No. QP-SPC-R-010-1 Rev. 1

Removal and repair of cracks in weld deposits or base metal shall be witnessed by a qualified
Inspector. In the event that an Inspector is not available then a suitable representative shall be
nominated by the OP Engineer.
Repair welding shall be performed in accordance with the appropriate welding procedure and
the following:-
a. The defect and 50mm of sound metal beyond each end of the crack shall be removed by
a method described above. If the diameter of the pipe is such that this is not possible then
the whole weld shall be removed and the joint re-welded using approved procedure.
b. For repairs in pipe butt welds of austenitic stainless steels and nickel alloys use the original
welding procedure. For Carbon and low alloy steel use the original welding procedure with
an increase in the preheat process by +50°C.
Subsequent to repair the repair area plus 100mm on either side shall be subjected to 100%
re-inspection by all the NOT methods prescribed for the original weld.
No weld may be repaired more than once in any particular location. If a second repair is
necessary on any area that has already been repaired. the QP Engineer shall be consulted.
The use of single pass weld repairs and the rectification of damage at any location by spot
weld deposition shall not be permitted.
All rectification, repairs and modifications shall be fully identified and documented. This shall
include detailed inspection procedures, with an accurate description of the dimensions and
locations of all defects and repairs for reference during final and/or in-service inspection.
The CONTRACTOR shall maintain an up-to-date register of all welds found to contain
unacceptable defects. Repairs performed both prior to and after PWHT shall be recorded and
the register shall be freely available for inspection by OP at any reasonable time. The register
shall include but not limited to the following information:
a. Weld identification.
b. Weld type and thickness.
c. Welding procedure number.
d. Welding process or processes.
e. Welder or welding operator.
f. Details of defect.
g. Date welded.
h. Date defect found.

k. HT records, NOT Methods / Techniques
16.0 INSPECTION AND TESTING
16.1 VISUAL INSPECTION
Visual inspection by trained and practiced personnel before, during and after welding is the
single most effective method for eliminating and minimizing weld defects and costly repairs.
16.1.1 Prior to Welding
The material should be examined for harmful surface conditions, such as seams, scale,
laminations or other defects that could cause welding problems. After the parts are assembled
in position for welding, the Inspector should check the following for conformance to the
applicable specification:
a) Joint preparation, dimensions and finish.
b) Alignment and fit-up of pieces.

Doc. File No.: SPC.R.010-1 R1 Page 16 of 39 Custodian Dept.: 7'

 QP SPECIFICATION FOR MAINTENANCE WELDING
Part 1: Process Piping (Offshore)

~~ DOC. No. QP-SPC-R-010-1 Rev. 1

c) Cleanliness.
16.1.2 During Welding
The following items shall be thoroughly checked to assure compliance to the specification.
a. Welding process, including voltage and amperage settings, progression and speed of travel
b. Filler metal used and flux or shielding gas.
c. Preheat and interpass temperatures.
d. Welding technique.
e. Cleanliness and completeness of cleaning.
f. Distortion control.
g. Post heating temperature and time.
h. Soundness of the first layer, or root pass is most important therefore, a thorough inspection
of the root pass should be made. When root passes are known to be sound, subsequent
welding problems are minimized.

16.1.3 After the Weld is Completed

Visual inspection is used for verification of the following conditions:
a. Dimensional accuracy of the weldment.
b. Conformity to drawing requirements (weld size, contour and height of reinforcement).
c. Acceptability of welds with regard to appearance (surface roughness, weld spatter, etc.).
d. The presence of defects (unfilled craters, undercuts, overlaps and cracks).
16.2 NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
The type and extent of NDT is detailed in Table 5 and the required acceptance criteria in Table
6 of this document. Welds to existing members/items shall be subjected to 100% NDT.
It may, on occasion, be necessary to employ other additional NDT techniques in order to
ensure full evaluation of welds or clarification of defect indications. This shall be at the
discretion of the Inspector.
All NDT shall be carried out in accordance with OP-STD-R-002& OP-STD-R-003. ES S 60,
QP-STD-R-008-2, and ASME V.
On welds which are not subject to PWHT, NDT for acceptance purposes shall not be performed
sooner than 24 hours after weld completion unless a post weld hydrogen release treatment on
accordance with Table 2 is undertaken.
On welds which have been subjected to PWHT, NDT for acceptance purposes may be
performed immediately after PWHT has been completed and the joint has cooled to ambient
temperature.
Surfaces to be inspected shall be free from spatter and heavy oxidation or any other
contaminant, which might affect NDT interpretation.
16.3 HARDNESS TESTING
Hardness checks shall be carried out on all production welds in piping to the following extent:
a. One (1) hardness check per 10m of weld or per 10 circumferential welds, whichever, yields
the greater number of tests (minimum of one test).
b. The cap of the weld shall be removed and the surface ground smooth. Three
measurements shall be taken on the weld and HAZ and the average of the three shall be
taken as the result. Welds to existing members/items shall be subjected to 100% hardness
test.

16.4 HYDROSTATIC TEST

16.4.1 Test Fluid
The test medium shall be potable water unless stated otherwise on the contract drawings or
by OP. However, The PH of the potable water shall be in the range from 6.5 to 7.5 and the
chloride content shall be 25 ppm maximum. After testing, the tested piping system shall be
dried as required by the service fluid.
16.4.2 Test Pressure
Prior to testing all equipment and piping shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt and construction
debris or other foreign matter using potable water. All lines shall be flushed with water prior to
testing.
Testing of the piping lines with valves in closed conditions is not permitted.
Differently rated systems shall be tested independently.
For field welds completed between "old" and "new" material, the whole line shall be hydro-
tested at 1.1 the maximum operating pressure or design pressure or top of piping class rating
pressure, take into consideration the corrosion rating and the existing pipe thickness (actual
thickness) according to API 570 clause 5.8, ASME 31.3 & Additional considerations for
pressure testing which are provided in API 574, API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 and ASME PCC-2.
In case that the specified Hydrostatic test for existing piping can not be conducted then it can
be replaced by service test.
In situations where it is impractical to hydro-test, (the reasons why shall be documented and
recorded). It shall be OP's decision to waive hydro-test.
The pressure test shall be carried out in increments of 25% total pressure value or as
designated by OP at the time of testing up to the test pressure. There will be a hold for 15
minutes at each increment. This is to ensure that the system is stabilized and to avoid over
pressurizing. The pressure shall be maintained at each incremental stage for a minimum of
two minutes or as specified by OP. Once the test pressure has been attained it shall be
maintained for a period of approximately one hour before the detailed inspection takes place.
Depressurizing of the system shall be carried out at a maximum rate 200 pSig/minute to avoid
vacuum collapse of any part of the system while draining the water after the test. However,
depressurizing shall be carried out in steps at 25% of total pressure value and there will be a
hold for 15 minutes at each step.
Check valves shall be opened to ensure that water is completely drained.
A record charts shall be made of the pressures and temperatures during pressurizing/
depressurizing as well as during actual testing.
