YANBU 2 WATER AND POWER PROJECT Contract PO No.: 7200 018 725 Doc No. :YT-PF-Z-16-00212 Rev No. : A Introduction This Procedure defines the work method for field test of GRP Piping for YANBU 2 Power & Water Project at Yanbu in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.The purpose of this procedure is to set out the requirements and methods for field test of GRP Piping. This procedure shall be in compliance with the contract and technical specification implemented on the Yanbu 2 Power & Water Project Method Statement for Underground Piping Hydro test Issue Date:28th Feb.2012 Page 4 of 21

Field Test Procedure


Before the installed pipe system can be used, the system should be tested prior to use to assure soundness of all joints and connections. In testing, sudden pressure surges or water hammer must be avoided.

The Test Pressure shall, unless otherwise specified, be in accordance in ASMEB31.3 and MARAFIQ SECTION 02625
The test equipment must be suited to the diameter and pressure, and able to reach the required test pressure. One pressure gauge must also install along with Blind flange. The pressure gauge must be connected between the valve and the system in order to indicate the pressure after the valve is closed. Due to the head of water the pressure gauge should be located at the lowest point. The pressure gauge should have a full scale reading of about twice the test pressure. The system needs to be protected by an air release valve. Trapped air can be released using a vent at the highest point in the system. Pre-test Calculation DV/DP is defined as the change in volume for an associated change in pressure of a known volume under pressure. Prior to start-up of test activities, the Hydro test supervisor should perform a pre-test calculation to obtain the value of DV/DP. The dewatering pump as present in site with capacity of Max Head: 50m Max Flow: 400m 3

YANBU 2 WATER AND POWER PROJECT Contract PO No.: 7200 018 725 Doc No. :YT-PF-Z-16-00212 Rev No. : A Suction Head: 9m For buried pipe it can be calculate through equation DV/DP = V*[(D/E*t) (1-v2) + C] Where, V= volume of pipe D = outside Diameter E = Modulus of elasticity (3480904.8 PSI) t = Wall thickness v = Poissons ratio (0.29) C = compressibility of SEA WATER (44) DV/DP = 3.14/4 * 3.42 * 5 [(3.4/3480904.8 * 0.032) (1-0.292) + 44] DV/DP = 2043 gallon/psi For example: A fully packed line at 0 psi, with a desired pressure of 76 psi and DV/DP constant of 2043 gallons/psi, the amount of fluid which will be required to bring the segment to test pressure will be 76psi x 2043 gallons/psi = 154391 gallons for 5 Meter length. Our pump capacity is 1761gpm, as per this for 154391 gallons will fill within 1.30 hours. Pump Discharge calculation Q = AV Where Q = Discharge Method Statement for Underground Piping Hydro test Issue Date:28th Feb.2012 Page 5 of 21

Preparation prior to hydro test Make sure that the test method statement is available with full understanding while implementation to the testing team. After the pipe has been installed and prior to hydro test conduct internal and external visual inspection. Any crazes, cracks, imperfection in joints must be repaired. Remove debris, loose materials inside the pipe should be removed. Allowance to each branch to move freely, within the limits, during the hydro test

fixing high point vents, after backfilling has been done than we will proceed with hydro test The values and reading at the Gauges shall be taking into account the static head between the lowest pipe inverts along the complete line and the level of the pressure gauge. Wooden ladder shall be available at each manhole/opening during the inspection. Upon verification of the inspection, when the findings are all judged, acceptable & recorded, manhole covers/opening shall be closed. In no case, single person is allowed to get inside of piping for inspection. Prior to start water filling, temporary piping & blinds shall be installed, checked & verified by the client/consultant/contractor representatives. Pressure gauges and pressure recorders shall be calibrated before the tests.
a) The Calibration interval shall not exceed 6 months. Calibration certificates shall be made

available to Inspection personnel prior to commencement of the pressure test. Stickers shall be applied indicating the latest calibration date. b) All gauges shall have a range such that the test pressure is within 30-80% of the full range.
c) A minimum of 2 pressure gauges are required for the test system. One pressure gauge

shall be on the test manifold and the other on the test system. There accuracy shall be within 5% of the another d) When large systems are tested, Inspection personnel will determine the need for additional gauges. Necessary Tools and Equipments:
1. Hydro test Manifold made with 4 pipe capacity of 40bar

Relief valve Gate valve Hydraulic hoses Pump.

2. Pressure gauge 2Nos within range of 30-80% of full range.

3. Ratchet spanners for Bolting. 4. Dummy Blind flanges if required. 5. Rubber Gasket if required.

YANBU 2 WATER AND POWER PROJECT Contract PO No.: 7200 018 725 Doc No. :YT-PF-Z-16-00212 Rev No. : A 6. Fire extinguisher. 7. Whiplash arrestor (If High pressure is applied) 8. Water tank or Water Drum. 5. Water filling: It shall be confirmed that all the vent points are fully opened to atmosphere, prior to start water filling. Fill with water a lowest point in the line using a small diameter branch connection. Pump capacity shall be chosen according to the pipe diameter and segment/system linear length. The sign of complete water filling will appear when the water starts coming through higher point ventilation opened valves. Stop the water at this stage & check all the flanges, valves and connected accessories for any leakage while keeping the vents open. We are Planned to fill the water through the manhole by using 3 to 4 pumps in accordance with 6 discharge hoses and pumping out water will be do as same in filling. The source of water (Sea water) filling for Hydro test from temporary pond through pumps and De watering also as shown in fig page no: 15 6. Pressurizing: After the water filling process is completed seal the entire test section with the required blind flanges keeping all valves fully opened which are connected to the system. A device capable of continuously pressurizing the test section shall be connected to pipe line with required temperature recorders and the pressure recorder. In order to avoid pressures exceeding the hydrostatic pressure in the lowest part of the pipe system, the manometer reading shall be corrected to take account of the water head difference between the lowest point of the system and the connection point of the pressure gauge. All Gauges shall be calibrated prior to use in system. For both joint test and the segmental test, the joint shall be tested at 1.5 times the operating pressures (as per Method Statement for Underground Piping Hydro test Issue Date:28th Feb.2012 Page 12 of 21

9. Drain After the hydro test is completed the water needs to be drained. The drained water should be dispatched to dewatering pond, as shown in the Hydro test Water Supply Plan on page no. 15.

10. Post Hydro test activity: After completing hydro test remaining joints in the line will be laminated. Purposefully each end of the Pipe segment is not backfill. The Special end caps has been cut and Removed for tested spool segment and Modified joints should conduct Barcol Hardness test. The tie-in joint must treat as Golden Joint. Before backfill this golden joints should conform NDE Hardness test is conducted and the report will be submitted in package during Total loop will be hydro tested. When all joints will completed as per the isometric drawing including Golden Joint will be tested with entire loop as in Isometric drawing as per same method statement. Blind Flanges should be bolted in flange connection. At the end each total loop Hydro tested, Flushing will show for Pipe inside cleanliness. In case any Elevation change in pipe additional pressure gauge will be fix as per client instruction.
