Re: [MW:3985] RE: 3981] RE: 3979] Need confirmation as per code

Hi,

Code does not permit  any hot work during hydrotest or water filled condition.

If the owner permits you in writing you can do the welding. I think it will affect the  structure of the material  if you weld.

You try to convince the client and you can do the hydrotest and after drain the water you can do pneumatic test for the pad and LPT or MPI for the weld joint.

Thanks 

With Best Regards.

John.

Hi,

 

I understand, you mention system is filled by water for hydro test, but hydro test not yet done.

And if Owner is allowing you to perform the welding, you should go ahead; regarding welding point of view, welding is allowable in piping when system is filled,

Even with hydro carbon and under pressure during HOT TAPPING WORK.

 

Sorry I right now I am not in position to find any code for you, for welding applicable, you should contact your QA/QC manager.

 

Thanks

 

With regards.

Hi

I never see in any standard or code to allow in this regard. So I think your Hydro test was rejected . you should release the water & weld the pad & again do the test.
