1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

1.1
Purpose
Provides general guidance for implementation golden welds to construction
development of natural gas piping project PT. Unilever Oleochemical Indonesia,
1.2

Sei Mangke North Sumatera.

Scope
This document describes final butt welds connecting components which have
been successfully tested may not be pressure tested provided it is demonstrated
that pressure test cant be practically performed. This document is general
requirement for golden welds application on hook-up pipe spools with butt weld
connection is only applicable to a connection of a straight length of tube/pipe to
another straight length of tube/pipe, not applicable for connections welds onto
fittings and welds.

2. REFERENCE
The applicator shall apply the most recent issue of the applicable codes and standards
by the following associations and approval bodies as part of this procedure.
1. American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010 edition.
ASME B31.3 Process Piping
2. Welding Procedure Specification to be used.
3. GOLDEN WELD APPLICATION
3.1
Preliminary check: DWG no., material, line number, thickness, joint identification, and
3.2

approved WPS.
In-process Examination.
The applicator welding inspector shall inspect and monitor the following task, before,
during and after welding of golden weld.
3.2.1 Joint preparation and cleanliness.
3.2.2 Preheating.
3.2.3 Fit-up, joint clearance and internal alignment prior to joining.
3.2.4 Variables specified by the joining procedure including filler material, electrode.
3.2.5 Condition of the hot passes after cleaning external and internal, where
accessible, aided by liquid penetrant OR magnetic particle examination when
specified in the engineering document.

3.2.6
3.2.7
3.2.8

Slag removal and weld condition between passes.

Appearance of finished joints (visual examination)
Application PT and RT for finishing reinforcement welding.

4. NDE EXAMINATION OF GOLDEN JOINT

All Visual and NDE examination shall be performed in accordance with the ASME B31.3,
Chapter VI , Table 341.3.2 and Fig 341.3.2 Acceptance criteria for weld and examination
method for evaluating weld imperfections.
