PAGE 2 of 7

SECTION 8 MATERIAL CONTROL8.5 The Shipper/Receiver is responsible for receiving of all materials.

His duties include:

a) Checking all Code materials received against Purchase Order, packing slip, and MTR, Examining the material for visible damage, correct identification, Code required markings, ASME specification & grade and quantity.

b) Identifying all acceptable material ordered with the Purchase Order number.

c) Recording the Code required markings, material specification number, grade, thickness etc. on a Material Receiving Report (Exhibit 8.4). Heat and slab number shall also be recorded for all head, shell and plate material.d) Ensuring that all pipe material is color coded by a stripe over the full length. The Color Code Chart (Exhibit 8.3) shall be posted in the storage area and the shop area. Pipe material used for a vessel shells will be identified with a heat number and supported by a MTR.e) Ensuring that flanges and fittings are identified by Purchase Order number and stored by the job.

8.6The QCI responsible for identification and traceability of all materials.

His duties include:

a) Recording the material specification number, grade, and the code required material identification

markings verified thickness as listed on the Travel Sheet (Exhibit 9.1). When the materials are examined prior to fabrication. the QCI shall confirm that the material identification markings match the MTRs or Manufacturers Partial Data Reports and shall also ensure that all plate material used as a pressure retaining component and any other material for vessel, shells, heads or nozzle reinforcing pads, remain traceable to the material properties as described in MTR b) Examining all material for the purpose of detecting imperfections that would affect the safety of

the Code item and verifying that the material is as specified on the drawings and conforms to

Code requirements. If material defects are detected, if the material is not in full conformance

with Code requirements or if further material testing is required then the material shall be

identified as nonconforming and handled as described in Section 11.

c) Ensuring that in addition to the material tabulation on the Travel Sheet, Code required material identification markings are transferred before dividing any material so that each piece will be identified visibly on the completed vessel.QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL


PAGE 3 of 7

SECTION 8 MATERIAL CONTROL

d) Ensuring that all identification markings are transferred prior to dividing any plate or pipe material, so that each piece will be identified on the completed vessel. The identification will be stamped on carbon steel plate over 1/4 thick and written by water proof marker on other material and the information will also be recorded on a drawing of the vessel.

e) Verifying that the MTRS conform to ASME Code Section II same Edition and Addenda as on the drawing. If the MTRS conform to Section II, the QCI will sign and date the MTR and indicate the Code Edition and Addenda used.f) Ensuring that when pipe material, which will have a Heat # and Purchase Order # at each end and is color coded by a paint strip over the full length, is fabricated as a nozzle: that the marking is stamped on each nozzle as per color code chart (Exhibit 8.3).g) Maintain traceability to Code required identification markings for all pressure fittings used on a Code item. For product form such as couplings or threadolets, if the original fitting manufacturers markings will be obscured by construction then after the fitting is attached to the code item all of the original Code required identification markings will be recorded on the Material Sheet in the applicable row for the item.h) Ensuring that the color code and coded markings detailed in Exhibit 8.3 are posted in the storage area and the shop.

i) Alternate marking system shall be acceptable to the AI.8.7Material purchased for stock, customer supplied material, or excess material remaining from previous jobs may be used for construction of Code items providing the material is re- inspected and MTRS are verified to the Code Edition/Addenda specified on the construction drawing.

15.1This section describes the system for conducting all pressure tests including hydrostatic, pneumatic, services and leak. Pneumatic test procedures will be submitted to ABSA Design Survey Section for acceptance prior to testing. (See Exhibit 15.1 for guidelines for pneumatic test procedure).

15.2 The QCM is responsible for the implementation of this system in accordance with the following procedures:

a) All hydrostatic tests performed in the shop/field will be undertaken with maximum regard to personnel safety. All unauthorized personnel will stay clear of the area where the test is being performed.

b) The AI will witness the hydrostatic test.

c) Air will be vented from the vessel as it is filled.

d) The metal temperature should be at least 30 F above the MDMT but not exceed 120 F for ASME Code Section VIII Division 1 pressure vessels.

e) The pressure will be increased gradually to the test pressure as stated on the accepted drawings and held1) for a minimum of 15 minutes for an item without nozzle reinforcing pads, or

2) for a minimum of 60 minutes when the item has nozzle reinforcing pads.f) Following the application of the hydro test pressure an inspection shall be made of all joints and connections. This inspection shall be made at a pressure not less than required by the applicable construction Code. The pressure will be held for a sufficient time for the AI to complete the inspection

g) Two pressure gauges will be used. They will be graduated to no less than 1.5 times and no more than 4 times the test pressure.h) Results of all pressure tests, including a record of pressure gauges used, shall be documented on the Travel Sheet and the Hydrostatic Test Report (Exhibit 15.2)APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS/FORMS

Guidelines for The Preparation of Pneumatic Test Procedure, Exhibit 15.1 Hydrostatic Test Report

Exhibit 15.2



PAGE 2 OF 3 SECTION 15 EXHIBITS

EXHIBIT 15.1

GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF PNEUMATIC TEST PROCEDURE

Due to the large energy storage in compressed gas and hence the potential hazard of a sudden release of this energy, pneumatic testing should be avoided if at all possible.

The testing procedure has to be submitted to the ABSA for acceptance before any testing can be carried out.

The testing procedure must be accompanied by detailed justifications why a standard hydrostatic test is not feasible.

In addition to strict adherence to the respective Code Sections (e.g. ASME Section VIII Division 1, Para UG-100 or ASME B 31.3, Para 345.5), the testing procedure should contain as a minimum the following information:

1)List of all personnel within the testing area and designated personnel in charge of testing.

2)Test boundaries of the pressure system with specified maximum pressure x volume (PV) limits, including listings of piping and/or equipment to be included in the test.

3)Test site preparations and related precautions undertaken including removal of unauthorized personnel, isolation of test site, etc.

4)Test media, pressure source and pressure and temperature ranges of testing.

5)Provision of Safety Relief Valves which must be sized to handle the maximum output of the pressure source to avoid excessive testing pressure.

6)Material specification involved in the test. For materials whose resistance to brittle fracture at low temperature has not been enhanced, test temperature above 60 F (16 C) may be considered in reducing the risk of brittle fracture during a pneumatic testing.

7)Exposure of all joints including weld joints, threaded/flanged connections, etc. All post-weld heat treatment shall be completed. Should a piping system be tested, all equipment and pressure vessels shall be disconnected from the piping or isolated by blinds or other safe means.

8)Method of testing with details of pressure steps, holding time inspection methods etc.

9)Precautions taken to prevent gas expansion temperature drop and thermal stresses due to temperature gradients.

10)Reference should be made to the Canadian Registration Numbers (CRN) of the system/vessel to be

tested.
