SECTION I ACCESS FITTING INS TALLATION I. Introduction This procedure covers the positioning Flanges and welding of the Gloazure’s Flarweld, Buttweld, Socketweld and NPT access fitting to the wall of pipe or vessel. See fig 1. CAUTION READ THIS DOCUM ENT COM PLETELY BEFORE COM M ENCING THE W ORK This procedure is operating m anual for proper operate this product only, The operator m ust be oblique the national safety procedure as a com m on and or other local or com pany regulation as w ell. S om ething in doubt asking G loazure. All instruction in this procedure does not cover any installation procedure. 1. Proper installation and preparation for best protection the fitting a) Orientation of the Fitting 1) Set the fitting on vertical position with the top (ACM E thread end) up. Other axial orientations m ay be specified for the location, consult the project docum entation before installation. Ensure that there will be adequate clearance above the fitting to operate the retriever, as follows: Pipe size from 2” – 12” Pipe size from 24” – 36” 8’ (2.4 m ) clearance above the top of fitting. * 11’ (3.3 m ) clearance above the top of fitting. ** 2) Set the longitudinal orientation of corrosion m onitoring device, by m ark across the hex head of solid plug then install in access fitting to indicate the orientation of corrosion m onitoring device. Fluid flow m ust be across each corrosion-m onitoring device (this procedure not relevant for flush type coupon). 3) The clearances m ust be apply to all orientations. 4) A m inim um lateral clearance of 9” (230 m m ) is required between fitting and from other obstructions. The dim ension is from the fitting centerline, ideally a 4’ (1.2 m ) space should be allowed. 5) W hen the m ounting is placed vertically below the line or vessel, a 4’ (1.2 m ) m inim um diam eter working space must be provided. The fitting to be off center 1’ (300 m m ) from the edge of the area at the closest bottom point and 3’ (1 m) at the farthest point. IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 1 G loazure.co.,ltd. Fig.1.

It will resulting loss of bolts pressure. Bolts m ust be retightened after operating tem perature has been reached. 2 Fig.2. Flange B olts B. W elding of G loazure’s Access Fitting a. S afety Considerations Every welding process m ust be control by supervisor, who will responsible to any tasks as follows: 1. Determ ine contents of the system . Hot work on lines or vessels containing corrosive or toxic m aterials should be given special consideration. Certain m aterials m ay cause m etallurgical or chem ical changes in the heat zone. Exam ple, carbon steel is changed m etallurgically at elevated tem peratures in the presence of caustic or elem ental sulfur. W elding should never be perform ed on equipm ent which is operating above its rated working pressure and tem perature, IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 2 G LOAZURE.Co.,Ltd. nor on equipm ent which is operating at less than atm ospheric pressure; such as, in a vacuum . 2. Determ ine if air is present , especially com bination of vapors in equipm ent. The oxygen content should be, and should rem ain at a level, which precludes the form ation of a flam m ables m ixture. Heating com pressed air lines or vessels m ay cause detonation. Exam ple, if lubricating oil has been vaporized and distributed throughout the system by a com pressor. Pipeline or vessels subject to this possibility usually can be rem oved or isolated from service and purged prior to hot work. 3. Determ ine if the equipm ent is m etallurgically suitable for w elding . Exam ple, hydrogen em brittlem ent or attack would m ake it im possible to com plete the weld. Som e steels and thickness require stress relieving, special treatm ent is required for high tensile alloy steels and special welding rods m ust be used. 4. Determ ine conditions , under which welding m ay be done and establish a safe procedure. The job should be inspected by individual responsible for authoring the welding operations. Before granting authorization to proceed, the responsible supervisor should indicate definite safety precautions to be followed. A test of the hot work area for flamm ables gas presence m ay be desirable or required. An inspection of the parent m etal is a necessity. 5. Observe the operation , to m ake sure the foregoing conditions are followed during perform ance of the job operation. 6. If hot tapping , determ ine the capabilities of the hot tapping m achine. Hot tapping tools are limited to use within their pressure and tem perature ratings. b. Prelim inary Job Considerations In additions to safety considerations under which welding or hot tapping is to be done, the responsible supervisor in charge m ust be: 1. Ensure the correct equipm ent or line has been selected to be welded or hot tapped. 2. Obtain the necessary clearance or approvals. 3. Provide either a suitable fire extinguis her (dry chem ical) and/or a pressurized fire hose. 4. Determ ine by visual inspection, ham m er testing, ultrasonic thickness m easuring devices, radiography (X -ray), or other approved thickness m easuring devices that the equipm ent to be welded or hot tapping is sufficient for strength and thickness to receive the connection, a wall thickness is define by actual pressure and corrosion allowance of pipe m aterial. Previous inspection records and data on corrosion rates will be useful in making this determ ination. 5. Determ ine if preheating is required. Studies have indicated that m ost steels should be preheated prior to welding (stainless steels with due to m oderate heat) o o when the fluid or m etal tem perature is less than 50 F (10 C). 6. Determ ine the proper fitting for use in m aking the connection.G loazure recom m ended use a Flarweld or Buttweld. Cause they only require only one IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 3 G loazure.co.,ltd. weld, thus reducing the changes of distortion and warpage. Also m ore efficient in tim e and m oney. 7. Design the connection, according to the proper code ASM E Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code or API Standard 650, W elded Steel Tanks for oil storage. c. Protection Access Fitting during W elding 1. The G loazure plug m ust be rem oved from the fitting during welding and stress relieving operations. The body m ust be inspected to ensure that there has been no dam age to the external Acm e thread, the upper shoulder and lip of the fitting, the internal thread or internal seal shoulder during its shipm ent. If dam age is found the fitting m ust be replaced. 2. The external Acm e thread and upper shoulder of the fitting m ust be protected from weld spatter during welding. W rap heat resistance cloth around the external Acm e thread and stuff the bore of the fitting with a retrievable wad of heat resistant m aterial to a point just below the internal seat. This is to prevent weld spatter onto thread and seal areas. 3. The internal thread and internal bore below and the internal shoulder m ust be protected from weld spatter during welding. 4. The welding procedure should be designed so that the upper portion of the fitting tem perature does not exceed 1000 oF (540 o C) during welding. Higher tem peratures encountered during stress relieving are acceptable. Notice W elding procedures are the final responsibility of the user’s engineering authority and m ust be approved prior to use. d. W elding Process 1. Select welding rods appropriate to the fitting and line m aterial. 2. W eld G ap, G loazure Access Fitting body or connecting fitting m ust be raised off the surface of the pipe or vessel wall to establish a proper weld gap. This can be done by placing four (4 ea) 1/16” (1.6 m m ) spacers or rods under the fitting to provide the proper gap between the curvature of the pipeline or surface of the pressure vessel wall and root or base of the fitting. Norm al weld gap is 1/16” (1.6 m m ) per ANSI B31.1. 1973. 3. Arc welding should be used if at all possible for all grades and types of steel. Because this will m inim ize warpage and distortion of the Access Fitting body cause of its localization of concentrated heat. Care should be exercised so that the body is properly positioned to prevent m isalignm ent of the hot tapping tool is used at a right angle or perpendicular to the work area. Also, avoid excessive arcing because arc spots on the body can cause stress and consequently body warpage while cooling. Recom m ended procedures for welding and special hole cutting considerations for various m etals as follow: IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 4 G loazure.co., ltd. a. Carbon S teel o o 1) Tack W eld . Preheat the fitting to 600 F (315 C). Tack welds the fitting to the line between the spacers using 3 m m (1/8”) welding rods. Rem ove the spacers and weld slag from the tack welds. 2) Stringer Bead . Apply a stringer bead com pletely around the base of the fitting using 3 m m (1/8”) diam eter rod for 3 m m m axim um layer. Rem ove weld slag. 3) Cover Beads . Apply continuous cover beads to fill the bevel and provide a sm ooth tapered weld. b. Stainless S teel Do not preheat!, otherwise; use the sam e procedure as shown for carbon steel with the following considerations: 1) In the hole cutting procedure, a hollow drill or drill bit should be used to cut sm all size openings. Abrasive cutting wheels are generally used to m ake larger sized holes. 2) Arc cutting or injections of iron powder into an acetylene flam e are other m ethods used. If however, any of these flam e or arc m ethod are used, the hole should be cut under size ¼” (6.5 m m ) on the diam eter to allow for rem oving the heat affected areas by grinding before welding. 3) Either the heli-arc (electric arc) or m etallic (TIG and M IG ) m ethods m ay be use for welding. The sequence of welding passes for both alloy and stainless is the sam e as outlined for carbon steel. e. Post W elding Inspection After welding the following procedures m ust be followed: 1. The post-heat and cooling period m ust be in accordance with relevant welding procedures and engineering standards. CAUTION Do not install a solid or hollow plug into access fitting if the fitting still hot. It cause prim ary packing and o-ring m elting, cause stacking onto its internal surface. 2. Inspect the external ACM E thread to ensure it is free from weld spatter. If there is any weld spatter it m ust be carefully rem oved by chipping and filing. 3. Inspect internal (UNF) thread, internal bore above seat and internal seat to ensure it is free from weld spatter. If there is any weld spatter it is recom m ended to use a thread tap assem bly to repair/clean the threads or use a seat ream er for ream ing the bore and seat. 4. Inspect the internal bore of the body below the seat, the interior surface of the weld area and the internal surface of the hole through the pipe or vessel wall. These surfaces shall be ground or ream ed as necessary to ensure a full ID of 1.377” (35.00 m m ). Care m ust be taken to elim inate any dam age to the internal thread, bore and shoulder during grinding operations. IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 5 GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd. 5. A hydrostatic test m ust be carried out. (Norm ally 1-1/2 tim e line pressure) 6. On com pletion of the inspection and after any subsequent stress relieving a G LO AZ U RE plug assem bly m ust be screwed into the access fitting and fully seated. The plug m ust be capable of insertion and full seating so that the top shoulder of plug (below the hex nut) is flush with top lip of the fitting (15 turns (360 o ) of plug), If the plug is tight, the fitting m ay have been distorted during the welding process and the internal threads m ust be chased with the correct thread chaser. After chasing, if the plug still cannot be inserted easily, the fitting m ust be blanked – off and a new access fitting point installed at another point. f. G eneral 1. W hen the installation has been com pleted and a hollow plug is to be installed, the probe or bore-sealing nut provides the pressure barrier. The use of a stainless steel ½” NPT plug is not recom m ended. 2. To determ ine the condition of the access fitting, periodic inspection m ust be perform ed. W hen under pressure, Ultra-Sonic and X-ray testing can be used. If shut down is possible, caliper can be used. If, after inspection it is considered that the access fitting m ust be blanked – off and a new access point installed at another point. C. Access Fitting M aintenance The interval tim e m aintenance of Access Fitting is the sam e tim e of scheduling tim e for rem ove – replace corrosion m onitoring devices. Base on NACE RP 0775-99. 3.5 for exposure tim e have been classified into Short term (1-45 days) and Long term (1-90 days). Access m aintenance consists of: 1. Cleaning and repair internal threads (UNF) by using a Thread Tap Assem bly (refer to section III. 3.6 Special Procedures for Access Fitting). 2. Cleaning internal threads (UNF) by using a thread brush (refer to section III. 3.6 Special Procedures for Access Fitting) 3. Grease external thread (ACM E) 4. Check access fitting face up end (O-ring seat Protective cover) for scratch, use a sm ooth s and paper and bastard to repair. IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 6 GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd.

Coupon Serial Number Rem ove the coupon out of the system carefully. Record the following item s: Coupon serial num ber Rem oval date Observation of any erosion or m echanical dam age Appearance of scale Appearance of corrosion product The coupon should be photograph im m ediately after rem oval, particularly if appearance of the corrosion product or scale is im portant. Record any changes of fluid flow rate during exposure tim e: - Any other pertinent data such as shut in tim e - Changes in velocity and inhibitor treatm ent, - Type or m aterials for corrosion inhibitor, - Dosing rate and dosing tim e of corrosion inhibitor, - Position injection chemical in the pipeline should also be recorded. Put the coupon into original envelope carefully and seal it (Avoid contam ination!) - Send the coupon im m ediately to laboratory for analysis. - Do not rem ove any scale or corrosion product in the field. Rem oval Date Note 3.3 Observation Mechanical Damage Appearance of scale & corrosion product Date of Photograph Date of Send to Laboratory Report of Analysis : Coupon m ust not be handled w ith the bare hand , and m axim um cleanliness m ust be m aintained during installation and rem oval process. The use of surgical or rubber glove is recom m ended while handling coupons. Exposure Tim e Exposure tim e m ust be considered when interpreting corrosion coupon data. Short-term exposure (15 to 45 days) provides quick answer but m ay give higher corrosion rate than long-term exposures. Aggravating conditions, such as bacterial fouling, m ay take tim e to develop on the coupon. Short exposure tim es m ay be advantageous when evaluating inhibitor effectiveness. Longer exposures (60 to 90 days) are often required to detect and define pitting attack. Because exposure tim e affects test results, exposure periods should be as consistent as practical. Tolerance of 7% allows a variation of 2 days on 30 days exposure. This is satisfactory for m ost applications. IV. Storage Maintenance o o Corrosion coupon should be storage in a clean, dry and warm (25 C – 32 C m ax) area. The coupon storage area should not be placed in that could increase hum idity. Norm al life tim e for coupon after shipm ent date is approx. 1 year, for best result after 1 year storage coupon should be blasting. IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 8 GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd. SECTION II RETRIEVAL TOOLS I.

Safe operation requires m inim um 2-trained operator. Do not use this retrieval equipm ent unless you have been trained in its safe operation. M ake sure you have com plied with all plant safety requirem ents and environm ental regulations. e. Identify the type m edia its pressure and tem perature. Review m aterial safety data inform ation on the m edia prior to operation. f. Ensure you have all the required safety equipm ent and used, i.e.: protective clothing, safety helm et, safety glasses, safety gloves, ear plug, safety shoes and breathing apparatus when toxic atm osphere exists. g. Any actions, which could vary system pressure such as surges, caused by opening and closing of valves and chokes should be delayed until com pletion of retrieval operations. h. Insure you have enough clearance for safe operation; there m ust be sufficient space available for head room as well as enough shoulder room to allow free m ovem ent of the equipm ent as well as of the operator. Clearance beyond the top of the access fitting body is required for m ovem ent and installation of the retriever and service valve. a. b. c. d. IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 9 GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd. i. III. For shoulder room above ground level requires 3 feet radius circle and below ground level a m inim um diam eter of 4 feet is required with the fitting located off to one side of the hole. Note: W ind direction prior to starting operations involving hazardous products. The Use of Diverter Hose Assem bly is recom m ended. Ensure you have scaffolding if the Access fitting that to be serviced is m ounted above the operator. Operation 3.1 Preparation Note : - Ensure by-pass service valve / ball (12) in “OPEN” position. - Ensure bleed valve retriever (6A) and service valve (22) in “CLOSE” position. a. Check condition of service valve . Inspect the O-ring (18) at the ham m er nut end (2) for nicks, cuts and abrading b. Check condition of retriever . Rotate the retriever handwheel (11) clockwise and counterclockwise to ensure it’s lubricated and operating properly; check all the thread connection parts & Oring especially O-ring (37) at thread adapter for nicks, cuts and abrading. c. Check pressure in pressure gauge on protective cover . Note : If there’s any indication pressure, release by opening bleed valve in protective cover. 3.2 Rem oving Procedure 1. Rem ove the access fitting cover (protective cover) by using a spanner wrench (“C” pin wrench). 2. Rem ove the pipe plug ½” NPT (1). Use a crescent wrench to rem ove pipe plug slightly counterclockwise. W arning : If for any reason there’s pressure behind the plug, after one or tw o m inutes has not been bleed – off. Loosen the steel pipe plug 1/8 turn m ore. If pressure bleeds – off, rem ove the pipe plug; if it has not re – tighten the plug and follow ing the procedure of overshoot adapter. 3. Connect the service valve to the fitting . Lift the service valve and place it on the access fitting body. Turn the ham m er nut (20) clockwise until the service valve is securely seated. Tap the ham m er nut (20) tight using a brass ham m er. The valve should be in full “OPEN” position. 4. The retrieval tool handwheel (11) should be at its stop in the full, run-out position, secured there by the lock-pin (10) placed in one of the lock holes on the inner diam eter of the handwheel. 5. Install the retrieval tool on the open service valve. CAUTION : See chapter 3.2 .13 for system s greater than 2000 psi. 6. W ith one hand on the retrieval tool handwheel, use the other to rem ove the handwheel lock-pin (10) and placed it in its keeper (storage) hole. IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 10 GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd. 7. Slowly rotate the handwheel (11) clockwise to m ove the spring (B5) loaded socket adaptor (1B) to the plug. Slowly turn the T-bar handle (28) clockwise until it com es in contact with the solid plug assem bly. Turn the T-bar (28) handle 3-5 turns to engage the landing screw (B1) in the plug. Check for engagem ent by attem pting to rotate the handwheel (11) counterclockwise. The handwheel (11) should not rotate. If it does rotate, repeat the start of this step. W ith slight clockwise pressure on the handwheel (11) turn the T-bar handle (28) in the clockwise direction until the spring (B5) loaded socket seats on the solid plug. W ith continued pressure on the handwheel (11), turn the T-bar handle (28) in the counterclockwise direction 2-5 turns. Note: You should notice system pressure equalizing past the plug assem bly into the retrieval tool body after approxim ately two (2) turns of the T-bar handle (28). CAUTION : Do not rotate the T-bar handle (28) m ore than five (5) tim es without equalization occurring. If pressure does not equalize, you m ust have the tool back pressured to equal or to slightly exceed system pressure to successfully accom plish plug retrieval. Equalization m ay be verified by checking the pressure gage on the retrieval tool. As you rotate the T-bar handle (28), you will notice the handwheel (11) is rotating in the run-out direction. 8. W hen the handwheel (11) stops rotating, the plug assem bly has reached the end of its threads (approxim ately 15-16 turns). Rotate (run-out) the handwheel (11) to its stop to retrieve the plug into the tool body. 9. Lock the handwheel (11) in the full run-out position to prevent possible dam age to the service valve or plugs should it gravitate downward. 10. Close the service valve / ball (12). 11. The retrieval tool m ay now be bleed down to atm ospheric pressure. (See 3.2.14 for venting hazardous products). In liquid service, a bleed hose m ay be connected from the tool to a container to catch the drain product. Open the retrieval tool bleed valve(s) (6A). Leave the bleed valve(s) (6A) open. Check the retrieval tool pressure gage (6) for zero reading. Note: If a bleed hose is connected to the auxiliary bleed valve (6A), be certain personnel at the discharge end are aware of the bleed-off. W hen the tools is being used in liquid service, a splash pan or container having approxim ately two (2) gallons (16 inch tool) capacity should be used to contain the liquid which will drain from the tool during bleed-off. Approxim ately ½ cup of liquid will rem ain in the tool below the bleed valve after bleed-off. A splash pan will contain this residual product. 12. M anipulate the plug assem bly out of the tool body for service or inspection. 13. W here the retrieval tool is being operated on system over 2000 psi, it is recom m ended the operator back pressure the tool to equal system pressure after installing the tool on the service valve, (see back pressure Procedure below). Since the pressure differential across the plug is decrease, thread life in the plug/fitting assem blies is prolonged. Torsional requirem ents on the spline rack (32) are also reduced and the plug will be m ore easily rem oved. IOM RETRIEVER TKS RP 11 GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd. Back Pressure Procedure 1. To back pressure the retriever, attach the ¼” fem ale quick connect to the retriever bleed valve (6A). Either retriever bleed valve m ay be used. Suggestion: Attach the back pressure pum p hose to whichever retriever bleed valve (6A) (quick connect) is lower so that the upper retriever bleed valve (6A) m ay be used to bleed off air as the retriever is filled. 2. Connect the back pressure pum p hose fem ale quick connect to the m ale quick connect. 3. Open the retriever bleed valve (6A) and pressurize the retriever to the system pressure. Operate the back pressure pum p in accordance with the Enerpac tech m anual or other pum p brand m anual. Note: The back pressure pum p reservoir m ay need to be filled several tim es to com pletely fill the retriever. 4. Pressurize the retriever to slightly less than system pressure. Shut the retriever bleed valve, depressurize the back pressure pum p, and rem ove the pum p from the retriever. 5. Return to step 6. 14. An optional diverter hose assem bly is recom m ended when bleeding off retriever pressure; fluids can be collected in a container or diverter to a safe area away from the operator. The hose is attached by quick-connect to either the retriever bleed valve or the open port in the service valve. Optional diverter hose (P/N. TKS-A-DH) assem blies are: Diverter hose assy 10 ft (3.0 m ) Diverter hose assy 25 ft (7.6 m ) Diverter hose assy 50 ft (15.2 m ) 3.3 Fitting Corrosion Coupon Holders and Coupons 1.
