5.3. Cleaning
A. Pipeline Cleaning
1) Install the temporary launcher and receiver after the pipes are ready for
cleaning activities.
2) Install the pressure gauge on the temporary launcher and receiver.
3) Set up a bi-directional pig consisting of guide disc and sealing disc.
4) The Bi-Di pig assembly will be inserted into the pig launcher and will be
launched until the pig receiver and flange have to be closed. After
insertion of the bidi pig, water at least 10% of the total volume of the pipe
must be injected into the pipe in front of the bidi pig.
5) Bi-di Pig will be launched by opening the compressor water injection
valve. Make sure to open the inlet valve gradually to avoid sudden
pressure spikes and the valve on the receiver will be left open.
6) Run the pig with the compressor, controlling the travel speed of the pig
meter at 0.5-1 m/s while maintaining the back channel pressure (by
opening and closing the ventvalve on the temporary receiver).
7) Each series of pig travel must be continuous and uninterrupted until
the last pig is received.
8) After the pig reaches the temporary receiver, the compressor will stop
and all thepressure in the pipe will be released by opening the valve on
the launcher.
9) The quantity and condition of debris collected at the receiver should be
visually analysed for acceptable cleaning operations. according to S-00-1640-016, para 5.5.
10) If insufficient cleaning is observed, the above operations should be
repeated until thedesired level of cleanliness is achieved.
11) All impurities carried by the pig will be disposed of in a suitable place
(land fill).
B. Flowline Cleaning
1) Install the temporary launcher and receiver after the pipes are ready for
cleaning activities.
2) Install the pressure gauge on the temporary launcher and receiver.
3) The Brush Pig will be inserted into the pig launcher and will be launched
until the pig receiver and flange have to be closed, the addition of foam
pig behind the brush pig is recommended to minimize passing. After
insertion of the brush pig, water at least 10% of the total volume of the
pipe must be injected into the pipe in front of the brush pig.
4) Brush Pig will be launched by opening the compressor water injection
valve. Make sure to open the inlet valve gradually to avoid sudden
pressure spikes and the valve on the receiver will be left open.
5) Run the pig with the compressor, controlling the travel speed of the pig
meter at 0.5-1 m/s while maintaining the back channel pressure (by
opening and closing the vent valve on the temporary receiver).

unless it is agreed that several parts can be installed after the hydrotest and

check and punch list for the work carried out by the Subcontractor, the
Subcontractor must complete a punch list that is in the major category before the
hydrotest and dewatering is carried out. The punch list for the minor category can
be worked on after the hydrotest and dewatering work is carried out. Hydrotest and
dewatering will be carried out when the installed equipment is complete and the
equipment for the hydrotest and dewatering work is ready for use. Contractor will
send a formal invitation to COMPANY regarding the implementation of Hydrotest
and dewatering on the pipeline and specifically for hydrostatic testing work,
COMPANY will invite MIGAS to attend the hydrostatic testing.
SUBCONTRACTOR shall submit a notification of inspection hydrotest and dewatering to CONTRACTOR
and COMPANY. And for witnessed by TPIA/MIGAS notification of inspection shall submit at least fifteen (15)
calendar days prior to the schedule inspection date.
5.5.1. General
1) After the construction work is declared complete, the pipeline is tested
for leaks to ensure the quality of the pipeline.
2) Defects or damage that occurred during the test must be repaired and
retested.
3) If there are repairs or modifications to the pipeline system after testing,
the modified pipe must be retested. However, minor repairs can be tested
using radiographic testing, liquid penetrant or other methods if there is
COMPANY approval.
4) The contractor must provide sufficient water to fill the pipes to be tested
for pipe pressure. To avoid delayed filling which will result in air
entering the pipe, for this purpose the contractor must calculate the water
requirement including wasted water.
5) The test is carried out on each pipeline.

constant value throughout the test duration, except for change due to
temperature effects. Pressure changes due to temperature variation (from the
beginning of hold period to completion of hold period) shall be calculated from
the Hydrostatic Test calculation. After the completion of hold period, pressure
variation due to temperature fluctuation shall be accounted for and corrected.
The pressure test is acceptable, if the final recorded pressure after making
necessary correction due to temperature fluctuation is equal or more than the
test pressure. Accepted minimum pressure after correction is calculated as
follows.
Accepted minimum pressure after correction
P accept = (P - ∆P)
Where:
P = Test pressure
∆P = Pressure changes due to correction of change in temperature fluctuation.
Where:
∆P : Pressure change due to correction of change in temperature fluctuation.
B : Difference between thermal expansion of water and steel at Temp &
Pressure as measured
r1 : Nominal inner radius of pipe
t1 : Nominal Wall Thickness of pipe
∆T : Algebraic difference between water temp. At beginning and at the end of
the test (C)
A : Isothermal compressibility volume for water at the pressurization

temperature in the P range (bar-1) x 10-6
If final recorded pressure is less than the acceptable minimum pressure after
correction
P accept, the hold period shall be extended minimum 60 minutes until the
pressure reach or above P accept, Maximum extended holding period is 2
hours.
After obtaining written acceptance of test from Contractor preparation shall be
made for de-pressurization of the section.
On successful completion and acceptance of the hydrostatic test the pipeline
shall be slowly depressurized at a moderate and constant rate.
2) If any leakage is observed during pressurization or hold period, line shall be
depressurized for further remedial work.
5.11. Dewatering
Open the blind flange test header and install again temporary push the bid pig
temporary to the receiving air compressor.
1) Release pressure. Take the pig, move to launcher are, and insert the pig to
launcher.
2) Push the bidi pig at launching test header by air compressor.

5.12. Swabbing
The swabbing operation is intended to reduce the remaining water in the pipe for
dry conditions using a medium density foam pig. A swabbing operation must be
carried out to ensure that no water remains in the pipe.
Foam pig must be run continuously until the last foam pig does not carry water to
pass through the pig receiver. This process will continue until very little water
remains in the pipe and can be removed by drying activity. Swabbing operations
must be repeated until the results obtained are acceptable and must undergo
COMPANY approval.
The swabbing criterion is the weight of the foam pig that comes out ≤1.1 times the
weight of the pig before insertion.

5.14. Reinstatement
1) All equipment removed or not included in the leak test will be reinstalled
according to the approved drawing.
2) Installation of the equipment must be really in accordance with the position
and position it should be.
3) The gasket connection must be replaced if the flange connection is removed
during the test.
4) All bolt connection should be installed with correct gasket, bolt & nut and

5) After the installation work has been completed, a line check will be performed
again together with COMPANY and recorded in the punch list.
5.15. Record

Contractor must make a test report and prepare an official report approved by the
COMPANY. The test report must be included in the test package that has been
prepared.
