    Uploaded by

    Javeed A. Khan
    This document outlines procedures for leak testing reinforcement pads welded to pipes. It describes the scope, references relevant standards, responsibilities of roles involved, and testing procedures. The test involves applying 0.36 bar of air or nitrogen pressure to the pad and checking for leaks using an approved solution. Any leaks found are marked and repaired before retesting. Test results are documented on an attachment report signed by inspectors witnessing the successful test.

    7. RREINFORCEMENT PAD LEAK TEST PROCEDURE

    1. All weld surfaces to be leak tested on the outside shall be cleaned free of paint,
    rust and scale.
    2. Reinforcing Pad shall have tapped vent hole
    3. The test devices shall be installed at each weep hole (6mm NPT) on the
    reinforcement pad. The ball valve on the air pump or air compressor or Nitrogen
    bottle shall be gradually opened to reach 0.36 bar g and closed to keep the
    holding pressure at 0.36 bar g.
    4. Leakage shall be checked by putting approved testing solution on all exposed
    weld joints.
    5. Ensure an approved bubble forming solution is available in adequate quantity
    and compatible with surface metal test temperatures. Temperature of surface of
    part to be examined shall not be below 40F (4°C) or above 125°F (52°C).
    6. Care shall be used in applying the fluid, to prevent the formation of bubbles; the
    bubble forming solution shall be applied by spraying, brushing or flowing the
    solution onto the test area such that a thin film of solution covers the area.
    7. The surface shall be examined at the time of the solution application for the
    presence of large leaks, and after 2 minutes for the presence of small leaks.
    8. Carry out visual check for any bubbles appearing on the surface of weld, which is
    an indication of a possible leak. Recheck the area once again to confirm the
    removal of defect. After examination, release the pressure by closing the air
    supply to the manifold.
    9. In case of any leaks, the leaking area shall be marked, pressure shall be released
    and any repair of the area shall be carried out using appropriate approved
    welding procedure. All required NOT shall be carried out such as PT & MT. The
    repaired area of the weld joints shall be rechecked for leak tightness.
    10. In case of any leaks, the leaking area shall be marked, pressure shall be released
    and any repair of the area shall be carried  out using appropriate approved
    welding  procedure.  The repaired area of the weld joints shall be rechecked for
    leak tightness.
    11. After performing the air leak test, the test result shall be recorded in the
    (Attachment 1 – SATR A-2010) and signed by the GIWI Inspector and PIO who
    witnessed the test.
    12. After completion of the test the vent hole shall be plugged with grease or with
    plastic plugs approved by PIO.

    TEST EXECUTION

    1. A leak test of 0-5 PSIG shall be applied to the reinforcing pads and maintaining
    to a period of 15 minutes minimum.
    2. Visually inspect pressure gauges to make sure no signs of pressure loss.
    3. Visually inspect the welding joints of reinforcement pad during application of
    leak testing solution If leakage exist then air bubble formation will take place.
    4. In any event if test fails, a new test shall be applied after repairs and corrections
    have been made. After leak testing the hole will be filled with grease.

    9.0 DOCUMENTATION —

    1. Upon completion of Leaking testing, Inspection Report shall be prepared and


    attached with RFI by the GIWI QC Inspector.
    2. All   activities   for quality   assurance   shall   be performed   and controlled   as
    verified   by documentation.
