Preliminary inspection report of line # 80-SCL-6016600-BB31C at VCM Plant UNIT-60(Pipe rack)

Plant: VCM Unit-60

Date: 24-05-2016

Background:
Leakage was reported by VCM Operation Department from line # 80-SCL-6016600-BB31C in Pipe
rack.External visual inspection and UT thickness monitoring were carried out adjacent to location of
leaked pipe and other accessible area(with scaffolding) of connecting branch line # 25-SCL-02213-
BB31C(Steam condensate outlet line of TE-1306).The following were the observations:
Observations:
1.0 External Visual inspection :
 Leakage was observed at bottom portion of 3" Ø pipe of line # 80-SCL-6016600-BB31C.
 Temporarily repaired by furmanite clamp was found at 1" Ø Tee of line # 25-SCL-02213-BB31C.
2.0 UT thickness measurement :
 Random UT thickness measurement was carried out on all established TMLs and reduction of
thickness recorded with a minimum of 1.3 mm & 1.6 mm thickness against the nominal thickness of
2.6 mm & 2.9 mm for 1" Ø & 3" Ø respectively (As per piping specification) with 1.2 mm corrosion
allowance.

* Nozzle size to be specified

Recommendations:
 Replace leaked portion of 3”Ø pipe (TML # 3) and 1”Ø bend pipe low thickness area (TML# 8,9 & 12) .
 Replace furmanite clamp as shown in the above sketch (line no #25-SCL-02213-BB31C) in the nearest
opportunity.
 For replacement activity, Maintenance has to submit the repair / Welding Procedure Specification (WPS)
to INSP for review and approval.
 Fit-up, root & final visual / Dye penetrant test (DPT), Radiographic testing & Hydro testing (if possible) will
be performed after the welding repair to ensure the quality of welding.
 VCM operation has to ensure all the requirements / guidelines mentioned as per the procedure (CGPE-
012) for temporary repair (Furmanite clamp) in the line
