1 DOCUMENT SCOPE
This document establishes AB InBev’s Global Technical Specifications for process and
utility piping for both brewery (BOP) and verticalized operations (VOP).
What is NOT covered in this document:

 Process drain system in the production areas (process, packaging,
warehouse and utility areas). The extent of the process drain system in its
entirety i.e. from the top of the grating of the drain points/channel drains,
including the entire drain pipe system until/including the point of connection
to main system/BTP must be designed according to 3B General
Specification, Process Drains.
 Industrial sewer system: for this, please refer to 3A Plant Functionality and
Technology, Sewer under Environment in GTS portal.
2 UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES AND REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Codes, Standards, Guidelines and Regulations
References to codes, standards, guidelines, and regulations: The versions valid at the
time of the Contract shall be used. Depending on local existing standards or regulations,
AB-InBev will decide which will be the codes that shall be used for each project (American
standards or European standards). When a standard is referenced in this document, it is
entirely up to AB-InBev to decide if an equivalent American or European standard shall be
used for a particular brewery instead of what is being used in this document. However, the
piping material shall maintain the same (carbon steel, stainless-steel, glass fiber
reinforced, etc). Different standards should not be mixed in the same facility.
All materials of tanks, piping, other equipment, fittings, instrumentation, seals, gaskets,
etc. in direct contact with the product shall be safe in accordance with EC regulation
1935/2004. The materials shall not release substances into the product in quantities that
could endanger human health, change the composition of the product in an unacceptable
way or deteriorate the taste and odor of the product.
2.2 Deviations from General Specification Piping
Deviations from General Specification, Piping are allowed only as follows:
 Specific requirements and specifications for a specific project as issued by AB-

InBev prevails and thus overrules GTS 3B General Specification, Piping
 Apart from above, deviations from the GTS 3B General Specification, Piping is
allowed only upon specific approval/agreement in each case by AB-InBev.

3 COMMODITIES, PIPING SPECIFICATION CLASSES AND VALVE TYPES
3.1 Materials
Materials and equipment shall be free from defects and imperfections, new and unused
and in accordance with all identified specifications. At AB-InBev’s request, Contractor shall
provide a record of the country of origin for all piping materials and equipment.
Upon AB-InBev’s request, Contractor shall provide certification of compliance with

specified codes and standards for all materials and equipment. AB-InBev will approve the
testing laboratory for certifying.
Materials and equipment which are not covered by detailed specifications shall be
standard products of reputable manufacturers and shall be suitable for the intended use.
Certificate of origin shall be provided on AB-InBev’s request. Contractor shall purchase
piping specialty fittings from AB-InBev-approved suppliers.
Contractor shall submit two samples of each size and type of stainless-steel pipe and alloy
pipe required by Contract for AB-InBev to review before Contractor purchases such
material. Each sample shall be 15 cm long. Upon AB-InBev’s acceptance, the samples
shall establish the quality benchmark for the initial purchase and all subsequent
purchases. One accepted sample of each size and type submitted shall be retained by
AB-InBev.
Stainless steel pipe shall be labeled by Manufacturer with continuous ink stripe identifying
the material alloy grade and piping specification class number. All fittings shall be identified
by Manufacturer as to material with an etched label.
Welding rods used to weld stainless steel piping shall be identified by Manufacturer as to
the grade of material. If rods identified only at one end are cut in half, the remaining
unidentified end shall be marked by Contractor with the industry standard identification
system.
Carbon steel pipe and pipe spools shall be surface prepared, prime coated, and painted
by Contractor in accordance with GTS 3B General Specification, Painting.
In areas close to a marine environment, Contractor shall paint using a corrosion protection
system, according to GTS 3B General Specification, Painting.
Threads and welded joints shall be taped by Contractor with masking tape prior to painting.
Contractor shall remove the tape before shipping.

3.2 Commodities
The following commodities are used in AB-InBev. For each one of them, a piping
specification class is defined, as well as valves type, size, and number.
 Piping specification class (PSC) is described on chapter 3.3

 Valve type/numbering is described on chapter 3.4
 Pipe labeling color code method is described on chapter 3.5
If a commodity required by a particular project is not listed here, AB-InBev will define what
are the required PSC and valves for that commodity. This will be informed by AB-InBev in
a GTS 2B datasheet which will be part of the bidding documentation.
Pipe can be defined also by their design type, as Utility/General Industry (U/GI), Product
Contact (PC) and Sanitary (S).
U/GI: Utility (service) piping is defined as piping that is primarily concerned with conveying
utility (i.e. air, steam, ammonia, glycol, etc.) services to support brewing processes.
 Utility pipe systems shall be routed so as not to interfere with production equipment
and structural features. Routing should consider ease of access for maintenance.
 Where practical, pipe shall be routed in groupings for runs/drops to equipment or
specific areas.
 All control valves and instrumentation should be fully accessible for maintenance
and operation.
PC: Product contact encompasses the piping systems for commodities that are not direct
ingredients or components of an in-process product commodity but connect to a product
or in-process product commodity piping system.
 Product contact items must not have any pockets where product or cleaning
solution can accumulate.
 The P&IDs should describe the CIP flow paths for the piping designer to determine
the valves that should be close coupled and their location in relation to the process
flow. This eliminates potential pockets of cleaning solution.
 All branch connections are made using tees. Vents to bleed off high point air are
not allowed in Product Contact Piping.
S: Sanitary design is used for in-process product piping system.
 Sanitary design must not have any pockets where product or cleaning solution can
accumulate.
 The commodity is protected from contamination using block and bleed valves or
systems.
Piping
Page: 5 of 145
 Branches, connections, etc are all installed fitting to fitting. All branch connections
are made using tees.
 The piping system is always caustic or acid CIP’d.
Approved manufacturers for piping, valves and other accessories are defined by each AB-
InBev Zone Brewery Support team (ZBS) as each zone has many local approved
manufacturers which can be considered among global vendors. The list of approved
manufacturers will be informed by AB-InBev in a GTS 2B datasheet which will be part of
the bidding documentation.

3.5 Pipe Labeling color code
Piping systems shall be marked with color coded markers identifying the commodity inside
the pipe the direction of flow.
Pipe Markers shall conform to the ANSI A13.1 Scheme for the Identification of Piping
Systems.
Refer to chapter 3.2 to see each pipe commodity label color code designations.
Note: For brewery expansions, the existing local pipe labeling color code should be used
to ensure the same standard is maintained. For new breweries, this document shall be
used.
3.5.1 Color Code
a) Yellow with black letters: for materials that are inherently hazardous e.g., flammable or
explosive, chemically active or toxic, at temperatures or pressures state (this includes
materials which when released from the piping would have a potential for inflicting injury
or property damage by burns, impingement, or flashing to vapor), or radioactive.
b) Green with white letters: for materials of inherently low hazard, e.g., materials which are
near enough to ambient pressure and temperature that people working on these systems
run little risk through the release of these materials.
c) Blue with white letters: for gases of inherently low hazard.
d) Red with white letters: for fire suppression materials.
3.5.2 Marker Size Requirements
Markers shall conform to the following height and length of color field specifications.
Size - Color field and letters

Outside Diameter of Length of Color Letter height
pipe Field for Acronym
Inches mm mm
3/4 to 1 1/4 200 13
1 1/2 to 2 200 19
2 1/2 to 6 300 32
8 to 10 600 64
over 10 800 89
Piping
Page: 125 of 145
3.5.3 Pipe Marker Materials
a) Marker materials are to be UV and chemical resistant and capable of withstanding

temperatures up to 120ºC.
b) Wrap-around non-adhesive piping labels are not allowed.
3.5.4 Label installation
Pipe markers should be mounted so that material designation and direction of material
flow are easily recognized. Due to the design and alignment of piping, uniformity of pipe
marker position is not always possible. Therefore, each pipe marker location should be
carefully selected to be clearly and completely visible to operator/employees. The whole
intent of this program is to readily identify pipe contents to the casual observer.
a) Pipe markers should be placed where they will not be obscured by other pipe markers,
signs, tanks, or piping systems.
b) Pipe markers should be placed so that they are easily visible from main traffic ways within
the facility.
c) Pipe markers should be placed to insure the proper direction of flow indicated on the piping
system.
d) Pipe markers should be placed at least 2 m above floor level for appropriate eye contact.

visibility.

4 WELDING SPECIFICATION AND REQUIREMENTS
4.1 General considerations
Contractor shall submit for AB-InBev to review, prior to commencing any fabrication,
qualified welding procedures as required by this specification. Contractor’s qualified
welding procedures shall be, as a minimum, in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section IX – Welding and Brazing Qualifications, referred in this chapter 0
as the Code.
Welding of dissimilar metals to one another shall not be allowed. Joining of dissimilar
Piping Specification Classes shall be by flanges, unions, or mechanical connection.
Prior to executing any welding, each welder and welding operator of Contractor shall be
performance qualified. Welder and welding operator performance qualification shall be
exhibited by executing a weld test. Contractor shall maintain welder qualification records
in accordance with the Code and provide AB-InBev's field office a copy of such records.
In addition, Contractor shall maintain and shall keep in Contractor's field office, readily
available for AB-InBev, a list of all welders with dates of qualifications.
4.2 Welding Inspections
The Contractor shall carry out continuous inspection of the welding work, so that the
Contractor ensures the guarantees for the execution are met. The inspection shall include
a non-destructive test (NDT).
The Contractor's welding inspection must be carried out by an independent and certified
institute and approved by ABInBev, hereafter called: Contractor’s Welding Inspector.
All welding inspection must be carried out and documented as if required by the
authorities.
ABInBev will further appoint its own welding inspector – AB-InBev’s Welding Inspector
4.2.1 Contractor's welding inspector
The Contractor's welding inspector must:
 Carry out endoscopic visual checks of the interior of pipe welds with an optical
scope or video scope.
 Carry out Radiography of welds selected by AB-InBev

Piping
Page: 128 of 145
 Contractor shall prepare welds selected for radiograph by removing

all weld surface irregularities by grinding or other suitable means, to
the extent that radiographic contrast resulting from the remaining
irregularities cannot mask or be confused with any objectionable
defect in the weld. The weld surface shall merge smoothly with the
pipe surface.
 The acceptability of the welds shall be determined in accordance

with the Code.
 AB-InBev shall bear the cost of preparing and radiographing all

welds that are tested and found acceptable. Contractor shall bear
the cost of preparing, radiographing, and repairing all welds that are
not acceptable to AB-InBev.
 assist with the approval of welding procedure tests
 assist with the approval of a welding certificates for every welder
 assist with the approval of welding procedures
 carry out visual spot checks, to ensure the correct welding procedure.
The Contractor's welding inspector is responsible for approving or rejecting the work in
question.
The Contractor’s welding inspector will have the right, at any stage of production, to carry
out his inspections.
The Contractor is obliged to keep ABInBev's welding inspector, as well as his own,
informed of the progress of welding to allow the inspectors to plan their work accordingly.
The Contractor must inform ABInBev about the result of his own inspection, and the
Contractor's welding inspection reports must be made available for the ABInBev at any
time.
The Contractor is under obligation to follow the instructions given by ABInBev's welding
inspector.
Piping
Page: 129 of 145
4.2.2 AB-InBev´s Welding Inspector
The ABInBev's welding inspector will make random spot checks, which in no way will
replace the Contractor's inspection, nor will it relieve the Contractor of full responsibility for
the welding quality.
The random spot checks will be carried out during the work as well as after the work has
taken place.
ABInBev keeps its right to inspect any welding at any time. ABInBev's welding inspector
will have the right, at any stage of the production, to carry out his inspection.
If the random spot inspection shows that the work does not fulfil the demands specified,
the Contractor must cover the costs for any additional works.
As a supplement to non-destructive examination, if it will be deemed as necessary,

ABInBev's welding inspector has the right to request samples to be taken specifically for
evaluation of the internal surfaces of a weld.
4.2.3 Endoscopic visual check and Radiography testing
The welding inspection is to include a continuous endoscopic visual check and/or

radiography control as specified below.
All welds are to be numbered on isometric drawings or similar. Welds in pipes shall be
marked with the welder's name and the serial number of the seam. The information must
be written with a marker (chloride free ink type) on the pipe.
Documentation of inspection results shall consist of images on an USB Flash Drive, where
drawing no., welder's name and the serial number of the seam and other relevant
information is typed.
The same data shall be listed in a written report securing full traceability of the electronic
images.
The report must use 3D or isometric drawings showing the inspection points with pictures.
It shall be possible to transfer the files to other electronic systems for saving. The file type
must be agreed by the parties. The files shall be protected against electronic editing.
Endoscopic visual check provides information on the inside surface of the welds and heat-
affected zones (HAZ) and detects such as incomplete weld penetration and unacceptable
heat tint.
Piping
Page: 130 of 145
For endoscopic visual check, a 100º or 120º lens providing a close-up view of the surface
should be used. Use of tele lenses is not accepted.
Endoscopic visual check shall be used as the only test method on thin-walled stainless
steel piping (wall thickness less than 3 mm) unless the authorities demand alternative non-
destructive inspection (NDT) e.g. radiography or penetrant test.
Radiography testing shall be used on carbon steel piping.
Radiography testing shall be used for stainless steel piping where:
• the authorities demand alternative non-destructive inspection (NDT) such as

radiography or penetrant testing
• stainless steel piping with wall thickness of, or above, 3 mm.
• access for the endoscope is not possible due to limitations of the endoscopic
equipment (e.g. the endoscopic equipment has limitations depending on pipe diameter,
number and shape of elbows, valves and pipe length).
4.2.3.1 Extent of endoscopic visual check / radiography inspection (non-destructive

testing)
All welded pipes will be submitted to inspection. The minimal is 10% of all welds for each
commodity.
For partial inspections, the welded joints must be chosen in common agreement between
ABInBev’s and the Contractor’s welding inspectors
AB-InBev reserves the right to require, for each pipe commodity, up to extra 5% of welds
to be submitted to radiography / endoscopy at AB-InBev’s cost.
If the result of the endoscopic visual check / radiography shows one of the welding seam
to be not compliant with the Code, a further endoscopic visual check / radiography
inspection shall be carried out on two adjacent welds made by the same welder. If these
two welds are approved, than the welding seam that was not approved is to be repaired
and a new endoscopic visual check / radiography inspection for this new welding must be
carried out (all costs related to this rework shall be covered by the Contractor). However,
if one or both adjacent welds are not approved, a complete endoscopic visual check /
radiography inspection must be carried out to evaluate the work performed by the welder
in question in all his piping work (since his latest welding test) and all costs related to this
rework shall be covered by the Contractor until the required acceptance is achieved.
Piping
Page: 131 of 145
4.3 Welding Quality Requirements
The internal seam surface and the internal pipe surface close to the seams must not be
discolored, i.e., have a heat tint above a level of shades of grey to slightly yellow, (15 to
32 ppm O2 in Argon and up to 100 ppm O2 in Formier gas) as shown in the FORCE
Technology, Report 94.34 “Reference color charts - for purity of purging gas in stainless
steel pipes”.
The welds are to merge smoothly into the base material, on both sides of the joint, and to
be even and free from essential surface defects like undercuts, craters, root concavity,
etc.
Dead legs must be avoided all the time.

Piping
Page: 132 of 145
Contractor shall submit two identical Sample Boards for AB-InBev to review prior to
executing any shop or field fabrication of piping. Sample Boards shall contain sample joints
for the Piping Specification Classes required by Contract. Once accepted, one Sample
Board shall be retained by AB-InBev, and the other shall be kept at the Contractor’s off-
site fabrication facility.
Sample Joint material shall meet all requirements of the applicable Piping Specification
Class. This includes but is not limited to interior surface finish, interior weld seam finish,
and exterior surface condition. Sample Joints shall not be assembled from used material.
All production piping joints shall be equal to or better than those on the Sample Board or
the individual sample joints with respect to workmanship and finish.
5 DESIGN, ERECTION, AND TESTING
5.1 Design – General
Piping runs are to be designed and erected due consideration to expansion, venting and
drainage.
Valves, expansion joints, pumps, etc. are to be mounted in the piping system in
compliance with the drawings. It must be ensured that the above components will not result
in the piping system concerned being overloaded.
Expansion loops are preferred to compensators. Compensators shall be avoided.

Compensators in process piping only to be used with AB-InBev’s consent.
Pipe assemblies must be carried out in such a way that valves, pumps and devices can
be removed without cutting/damaging the pipes, wherever an easy removal of the items
in case of service or breakdown is necessary.
Cooling and heating media pipes shall be equipped with necessary venting and drainage
possibilities in order to avoid air pockets in the systems
5.2 Wall and Floor Penetration
Pipes penetrating walls and/or floor shall be equipped with pipe collars / water caps to seal
the penetration. Penetrations shall be watertight.
When penetrating slabs, pipes are to be equipped with pipe collars / water caps shall avoid
water penetration.
Piping penetrating the building structure must not reduce the integrity of the total structure
in respect of fire hazard.
Piping
Page: 133 of 145
5.3 Heat tracing
Due to local weather conditions and to related process requirements, some fluids may
have the risk of getting frozen or crystallized inside the piping. To avoid that, all related
pipes must be properly insulated, and a heat tracing system must be installed.
The Contractor responsible for the detailed engineering design of the piping system is also
responsible for this evaluation and will design the required insulation and heat tracing for
all pipes with fluids that are subjected to risk of getting frozen/crystallized.
5.4 Piping Support and Spacing
 All piping must be supported according to GTS 3B General Specification, Piperack.

 All support components shall meet the latest edition of ANSI/MSS-SP-58, 69 & 89.
The use of vertical hanger rods connected directly to the building roof to support any piping
system should be avoided (Piperack structures are preferred). The maximum hanger rod
length shall be 2.5 m. Hanger rods shall be continuous with no mechanical couplings or
welded sections. Hanger rods shall not be fabricated from all-thread rod.
Hanging pipe directly from another pipe, duct, or conduit is not allowed.
Contractor shall use appropriate seismic bracing of piping systems in seismic areas in
compliance with all governing codes.
Contractor shall use sufficient supports in areas of concentrated loads, i.e., valve clusters,
large valves, flow meters, branch connections.
Contractor shall furnish and install all rigid hangers, semi- rigid hangers, spring hangers,
supports, trapezes, anchors, and guides to support all piping. Contractor shall also detail,
furnish, and install all miscellaneous steel not shown on Contract Documents to provide
proper support.
Support Spacing: the maximum support spacing shall be as defined according to the table
below. Lessen spacing/add additional supports in areas of concentrated loads.

Notes:
1. Refer to Manufacturer’s recommendations for different SDR’s and high temperatures.
2. 10’ span for all sizes larger than 18 inch.
3. Continuous support for all pipe sizes.
4. Support spacing distance temperature dependent. Reduce spans per manufacturer’s recommendation for service temperatures
greater than 40˚C.
The general principle for spacing between guides is as follows:

 Every third support is a guide.
 All straight run pipes are to be provided with an anchor in the midpoint between
expansion arrangements (loops).
Each pipe support class will be composed of three pipe support types:
 Slide supports and hangers
 Guided slide supports
 Anchor supports
5.5 Storage
5.5.1 Pipes and Fittings
To avoid ingress of foreign matter and to achieve protection during transport and storage
on site, pipes and piping components must be kept sealed and protected until they are to
be erected.
Reception control of deliveries as to quality shall be performed by the Contractor.

Piping
Page: 135 of 145
Stainless steel must always be stored in such a way that deterioration does not occur.
During storage, the pipes must be protected externally and internally against
contamination from dirt, grease, oil, moisture, chips, grinding dust and rust flakes.
Storage of the pipes shall be arranged to facilitate the removal of individual pipes so that
damage such as scratches, etc. is avoided when pipes are removed.
Stainless steel and carbon steel shall be stored separately.
5.5.2 Welding Consumables
Electrodes must be kept clean and dry and be stored in such a way that any type can be
easily identified.
Electrodes delivered from the storage to the place of work must be inspected in order to
ensure correct utilization of the electrodes. Unused electrodes must be returned to the
storage at the end of a shift.
Welding consumables shall be stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5.6 Welding
5.6.1 General
To the greatest possible extent, the pipes are to be aligned, close-putted and then welded
in a horizontal position in a bench.
Welding in the plant, or parts of the plant, is to be carried out with a grounding system
established as close as possible to the welding area to protect electrical sensor equipment
such as transducers and scanners.
Electrical cable trays are not to be used as a grounding system.
No welding must be carried out if the welding place is exposed to rain, snow or wind.
Regardless of location (“bench or field”), the welding place must be screened against air
draughts.
Piping
Page: 136 of 145
5.6.2 Stainless Steel Piping
Cutting and Cleaning
Pipe ends are to be machine cut, using a pipe cutting saw. Cut ends must be square, flat,
and free from burrs or chamfers.
Any deviation from the above-mentioned method of cutting must be approved by AB-
InBev's welding inspector.
Deburring must not lead to scratches in the pipe surface beyond the fused material.
Pipe ends must be cleaned using a suitable cleaning liquid so that they are free from oil,
grease and other surface contaminants before welding begins.
Setting-up and Gas Backing
Pipes to be joined are aligned before the inert gas backing unit is inserted. Auxiliary tools
for fixing are to be placed and adjusted to minimize the difference between the external
surfaces of the pipes.
Copper alloys shall be avoided for fixtures and other applied tools.
The gap of the square butt joints must be carried out in accordance with the welding
procedure.
Before tack welding, the point of welding must be internally protected by backing gas.
Before welding begins, the pipe must be flushed thoroughly with backing gas.
To prevent oxidation of the welding seam and materials, the inert gas backing unit must
not be removed until the temperature of the surface is so low that it can be touched by
hand.
Welding of anchor plates and rings at stainless steel pipes must fulfil the requirements for
welding, meaning that the spot of welding must always be protected by an inert gas at the
inside and outside surface of the pipe.
Manual and Automatic Welding
The welding jobs must be affected by means of manual or automatic pipe welding.
Piping
Page: 137 of 145
Normally, manual and automatic welding shall be carried out without using filler metal. If,
as an exception, filler metal is used, it must be suitable to the material in question. The
use of filler metal must be accepted by AB-InBev’s welding inspector
Records
All welds performed must be recorded with indication of the name of the welder e.g. by
recording the number of the welder and the serial number of the weld.
5.6.3 Carbon Steel Piping
Shaping and Cleaning
The final preparation of pipes must be done by machine. Any cuts or irregularities shall be
removed by grinding. All slag must be removed.
Pipes with a wall thickness  6 mm may have a maximum internal offset of 1.5 mm.
Pipes with a wall thickness < 6 mm may have a maximum internal offset of only 25% of
the wall thickness.
If the internal offset is larger than described above the component with the small diameter
must be finished so that butting internal surfaces will almost coincide. The finished joint
must not result in a smaller wall thickness than the one prescribed, and the finishing angle
must not exceed 30.
When components with different outside diameters are to be welded together, the welded
joint must be filled to the external surface of the component with the largest diameter.
From the center line of the welded joint there must be a gradual transition to the weld
between the two surfaces, with an angle, which does not exceed 1:3. In order to avoid
unnecessary welding work, the external surface of the component with the large diameter
must be finished at an angle to the pipe axis not exceeding 30.
Surfaces to be welded must be clean and free from moisture, paint, oil, grease, rust, crust
or any other coating detrimental to welding.
Piping
Page: 138 of 145
Setting-up and Welding
During welding the pipe must be supported and guided so that the joint is relieved of stress.
To maintain the specified alignment and gap used during welding, the parts to be welded
must be supported and guided by auxiliary tools, welded on bridge pieces or tack welding.
Unless otherwise specified in the drawings, all pipes must be joined by butt-welding.
Whenever welded-on bridge pieces are used, care must be taken that the pipe surfaces
are not left damaged after the bridge pieces have been removed.
Tack-welds must be in the form of bottom runs or they must be removed completely.
Electrodes or filler rods used for tack-welds, which are not removed must be of the same
type and class as those used for completing the first run of weld metal.
Tack-welds must be machined carefully by grinding or using another suitable method so

that they can be incorporated in the final weld. The minimum length of a tack-weld must
be at least four times the wall thickness or 25 mm.
Welding must start at the joint. Accidental contact between the electrode or the non-
insulated parts of electrode holders and the pipe must be avoided.
Each run of weld metal must be cleaned before a further run is applied, particular attention
being paid to the junctions between the weld metal and the fusion faces.
Defects in welds must be removed completely and a correct welded joint be must
established.
Seams at welded-on attachments, or other welded seams, which are not included directly
in the pressure system, must be located at least 40 mm from the main seam.
Other forms of welded on branching-offs are subject to the approval by the ABInBev in
each individual case.
All welds performed must be recorded indicating the name of the welder.
5.7 Erection
It must be ensured that dirt, gaskets, packing materials, etc. do not enter the piping system
during erection.
Flanges and gaskets must have clean surfaces before fitted, and the assembly must
ensure uniform tightening. All bolts shall be lubricated before assembly with grease
Piping
Page: 139 of 145
Chesterton Parting Lubrication 785 or similar. Bearing surfaces and gaskets must not be
greased.
When working on carbon steel, the Contractor must establish all necessary precautions
and coverings to ensure that neither melted material nor airborne slip will get into contact
with the stainless steel.
Tools, which can incur damages to the stainless steel, must not be used.
5.8 Flushing and Cleaning
5.8.1 General
Before pressure test, the entire plant, including all process piping systems, must be subject
to internal flushing and cleaning as specified below to remove all impurities in the plant.
The Contractor should note that during internal cleaning, precautions should be taken as
follows:
 Check that the quality of the flushing water/gas will not harm the piping system.
 Check that all instruments mounted in-line have been replaced by spool pieces, as
necessary.
 Check that no cleaning devices (cleaning turbines, spray balls etc.) have been
installed.
 Install cloth filters at all main water feed points until all line flushing has been
completed.
 When applying the first flush through a line, the line shall be progressively broken and
re-joined at low points, prior to delicate items of the plant. This is to ensure that
residual rubbish, scale, rust, dust, etc. can escape before proceeding further down
that line. Delicate items include pumps, valves, centrifuges, filters, plate heat
exchangers, cooling jackets and any item with fine clearances or which includes
membranes.
These procedures shall be applied with consideration to the protection of plant items
against damage and corrosion by residual matter.
On completion of flushing, no residual matters shall be left in the plant.

Piping
Page: 140 of 145
5.8.2 Stainless Steel Piping
Stainless steels piping must be passivated according to:
 ASTM-A380 Cleaning, Descaling, and Passivation of Stainless-Steel Parts,

Equipment, and Systems.
 ASTM-A967 Chemical Passivation Treatments for Stainless Steel Parts.
5.8.3 Carbon Steel Piping
Pipes for heating media and caustic must be chemically cleaned before flushing to remove
oxidized scales in the piping system.
The chemical cleaning shall consist of an acid washing by means of a 5% technical

hydrochloric solution to which an inhibitor is added. The mixture is circulated for 4-5 hours.
After this a 1-2% sodium hydroxide solution at 60C is circulated for 30 minutes. Finally,
the piping system is flushed with 50C hot water.
Pipes for CO2, compressed air and NH3 shall be cleaned/flushed with dry CO2/dry
compressed air/dry Nitrogen.
5.8.4 Acceptance Criteria for Flushing and Cleaning
The flushing and cleaning of the utility piping mentioned below shall not be considered as
satisfactory before:
 Process Water:
o The water is approved by visual inspection and tasting of the water.
 Compressed Air:
o Compressed air is led through water for 1 minute. No taste or smell must
be detected.
 CO2 Supply:
o CO2 is led through water for 1 minute. No taste or smell must be detected.
AB-InBev is responsible for the testing and approval.

5.9 Pressure Test
5.9.1 General
Before paint or insulation is applied to piping (According to GTS 3B General Specification,

Painting and GTS 3B General Specification, Thermal Insulation) or before piping is
covered by backfilling or any other means that conceal piping from view are applied,
Contractor shall perform tests on every pipe, tube, fitting, and joint after fabrication and
installation in the field.
All pressure testing shall be performed in accordance with this document, ANSI B31.3 and
ASME section U. Boiler external piping and boiler piping shall be tested in accordance
with ANSI B31.1 and ASME Section I. The test pressure, for any section of pipes in the
plant, must never be less than 1.5 * design pressure of the section in question, unless
accepted by AB-InBev.
The design pressure must not be lower than the maximum pressure that can be
established by the plant itself, for instance when a pump is in operation against a closed
valve.
The maximum operating pressure must be equal to or lower than the design pressure. The
maximum operating pressure must allow for the proper operation and hysteresis of safety
valves.
During hydrostatic or pneumatic testing, pipe, tube, fittings, and joints shall withstand test
pressure without failure, leakage, or distortion for a period of two hours. There shall be no
loss of test pressure during this period. Contractor shall repair defects and repeat the test
procedure until a satisfactory test is obtained at no additional cost to AB-InBev.
Unless otherwise accepted by ABInBev, where a section includes items with a lower
permissible test pressure, the components in question must be temporarily removed and
replaced by a fitting part or be temporarily disconnected when pressure tested according
to the higher pressure. Further, with the components placed in-line or connected, the
section must be pressure tested again according to the lower test pressure.
The plant including pipe systems, pumps, valves, and other accessories, is generally
tested with cold water in sections. The pressure is measured at the lowest point of the
section.
To avoid corrosion the Contractor must drain the water from the pipe system after
approved pressure and leak test, and completely dry the system by means of compressed
air, if the system is not to be taken into operation within a short period. Draining and drying
must not be omitted without the acceptance of AB-InBev
Piping
Page: 142 of 145
Pressure test must not be done in frosty weather without the addition of an anti-freeze
liquid. If anti-freeze liquid is used, the Contractor shall flush the system with clean water
after pressure test so that no anti-freeze liquid is left in the system, before draining the
water from the pipe system.
Contractor shall furnish a pressure recorder and charts and record all hydrostatic,
pneumatic, and ammonia tests. Completed test charts shall be turned over to AB-InBev
with the system test package.
Any joint inspected and found not acceptable by AB-InBev shall be repaired, replaced, or
corrected by Contractor to the satisfaction of AB-InBev. Contractor shall bear the cost of
correcting any rejected joints.
5.9.2 Procedure for testing
All piping system testing shall be coordinated through AB-InBev
Contractor and AB-InBev will establish a piping system Worklist/Test Schedule in

accordance with the project schedule.
AB-InBev shall monitor and update the piping system Worklist/Test Schedule until
complete.
AB-InBev shall be allowed ample time to perform a thorough review and walk-through of
each system for acceptability and completeness. Contractor’s representative shall
accompany AB-InBev on each walk-through. During the walk-through, a Worklist will be
developed.
Upon completion of Worklist items, AB-InBev will review the items with Contractor, and if
accepted, will issue a signed copy of the Worklist form releasing the piping system for
testing. Contractor shall allow ample time in its schedule for a thorough check of completed
work list items.
Only after all items listed on the worklist are complete to the satisfaction of AB-InBev shall
Contractor fill a system for testing.
Testing
All pressure testing shall be performed in accordance with this document, ANSI B31.3 and
ASME section U. Boiler external piping and boiler piping shall be tested in accordance
with ANSI B31.1 and ASME Section I. The test pressure, for any section of pipes in the
Piping
Page: 143 of 145
plant, must never be less than 1.5 * design pressure of the section in question, unless
accepted by AB-InBev.
All parts of the piping system included in the pressure test shall be dry. Areas of pipe that
are wet from rain, water released during venting, etc., shall be dried and kept dry for the
duration of the test.
Test for pneumatic leaks shall make use of a liquid detector made specifically for
pneumatic testing. Soap solutions made from household detergents shall not be allowed.
Reference ASME section U.
Under no circumstance shall a test be left pressurized without AB-InBev monitoring the
system. Contractor shall be responsible for system restoration immediately after
successful completion of the pressure test.
All pressure gauges and recorders shall have current certified calibration stickers.
For a refrigeration plant, the piping system for ammonia must be evacuated prior to
charging it with ammonia. A vacuum of less than 10 mbar absolute shall be maintained for
at least for 8 hours.
Upon final approval of the pressure test, AB-InBev shall release the work for painting and
insulation as required by the drawings and specifications.
