Pipe shall be properly supported and aligned by jigs or clamps in order to eliminate strains prior to tack welding in accordance with the approved WPS. Where jigs or clamps are used for stainless steel and high alloy fabrication, these items will be lined with clean rubber or stainless steel material to eliminate the possibility of contamination with other project material. The internal radial misalignment for bore up to 100 mm should not exceed 1.0 mm. If exceed, it shall be taper-trimmed, machining may be conducted to improve root alignment providing the taper is not steeper than 1 in 4. Misalignment may be alleviated by the use of hydraulic or screw type clamps. Hammering, jacking or heating the pipe is not permitted. Tack welding shall be performed by qualified welders using the same qualified welding procedures and electrodes as will be used for the main weld. All tack weld which will form a part of the main weld shall be cleaned ground down to a feather eage at both ends and visually inspected prior to welding the root pass Cracked tack welds and temporary tack welds shall be removed by grinding to a smooth finish, followed by MT/PT of the affected areas.

The requirement of the finished weld reinforcement for all materials shall comply to ASME B 31.3 specification for piping. If arc strike occurs, this shall be removed by grinding followed by MT or DPT. For new piping, the acceptable wall thickness is the thickness as calculated inclusive manufacturing tolerances, corrosion and erosion allowances. If pipe is ground severely to repair, the damaged part of the pipe shall be removed. Internal purge of argon shall be used for the GTAW process root pass on stainless steels as specified by WPS 1. Purging will be carried out by using the best method for the particular application during welding. 2. Each end of the pipe adjacent to the weld of tie in spools shall be dammed by using water soluble paper or sponges at a distance of 150mm from the weld edge preparation. Prior to the commencement of welding of SS, the weld preparation area and filler metals shall be cleaned with acetone and clean rags without excessive rubbing of the surface. Physical touching of the weld preparation area without clean gloves is prohibited. 3. For all materials, pipe butt joint of 2 inches and below shall be made entirely with GTAW process. 4. The GTAW process shall be used for root pass of all diameters. 5. A dedicated experienced SS welding Inspector shall be assigned during fabrication and welding of all SS material. 6. All Shielding gas to be used during SS welding shall be 99.9% argon. Gas shielding shall extend for at least 30 seconds after completion of weld to prevent gas pore entrapment while element is solidifying and still hot. The sketches demonstrate: Page 8 of 14
