4.2 Equipment and Consumables

Descriptions of all welding equipment, type of machinery, welding materials to be used,
tools, and all other required items shall be submitted to the CLIENT for approval.
This equipment shall consist of, but not limited to, DC welding machines, welding
generators, equipment and machinery for cutting, bevelling, pre-heating, post weld heat
treating (PWHT), internal and external line-up clamps, welding consumables, welder
tools, tents, testing equipment and insulations blankets for weather protection.
All welding consumables shall be controlled during site condition.

4.3 Marking
Before materials are cut, permanent identification (head pipe numbers) shall be
transferred.
Each weld shall be marked with the identification symbol of the welder or welding
operator next to the weld area or records shall be maintained to identify the work of each
welder, i.e. weld numbers, shift, passes, left of right side of pipe, etc. Failure to use the
symbol or maintain adequate records shall be cause for rejection of the work and
removal of the weld.
For all welds, weld identification numbers shall be painted on the pipe coating using
contrasting colour. A reference between weld numbers and pipe numbers shall be
maintained. The width of each letter or number shall not be less than 19 mm (3/4).
Weld identification must be legible using sequential numbers or combination of
English block letters and numbers.

4.4 Non Ferrous Metal

Whenever possible, only stainless steel tools or grinding disks dedicated to stainless
steel shall be used. Material supports, internal purge dams, alignment clamps, and other
tools may be coated with a compatible material approved by the CLIENT.

4.5 Pressure Containing Welds

All pressure containing welds shall be made with a minimum two passes with overlap of
starts and stops.
4.6 Spacing of Welds
The spacing of welds shall meet the requirements of the following based on the type of
weld and attachment.
The maximum possible distance shall separate circumferential butt weld. However,
between piping fitting and tie-ins, etc., short pipe length may be required. In this situation,
Date : February 22, 2019 Specification Pipeline Welding

Rev : 0 EHK-P.ET-FDPJ-PL-SPC-006 Page : 10 of 15

butt weld shall be done >1.5 OD or greater. For pipe with nominal size less than 3 in,
butt welds should be separated from adjacent weld with minimum 1,5 OD.
Circumferential butt welds closer than the above limits shall not remain without CLIENT
approval.
Branch I nozzle and other pressure attachment welds shall not be loser than 3 in (75
mm) (measured toe to toe) to adjacent pressure welds. Any cases that fail to meet this
criterion shall be approved by the CLIENT representative before commencement of
fabrication.
Attachment welds that are not pressure containing, such as pipe support welds, are
generally not allowed on the surface of the pipeline. If such welds are part of the
approved design, then each shall be a minimum of 2 in (50 mm) from any other pressure
containing welds (measured toe to toe).

clamp.
Lined clamps shall not be removed until the root and hot pass have been completed.
In specific instances where it is not possible or practical to use the internal I external line
up equipment, the CLIENT representative may accept alternate method. This
requirement is to minimize the possibility of high low due to misalignment and to permit
continuous welding of the root pass for the full circumference of the pipe.
Internal grinding or machining may be conducted to improve root alignment if
misalignment is equal to or less than 1/8 in (3.2 mm). However, the taper shall not
exceed 1 in 4 and the minimum wall thickness shall be maintained.
Maximum permissible offset of pipe ends of the same wall thickness shall be 1/32 in.
Longitudinal welds of adjacent pipes shall be staggered b at least 30° or 3 in (75 mm),
whichever is less and by not more than forty-five degrees (45°).
Welded sections of single lengths shall be assembled and lowered into the ditch so that
the longitudinal seams shall remain on the top half of the pipe. An exception to this is on
bend joints where the pipe seams are to be at right angles to the bend, on the neutral
axis of the bend. Longitudinal weld seams shall have a minimum 4 in offset between
abutting joints, measured along the circumference of the pipe.

cool to ambient temperature. The stage at which line up clamps are removed.
Immediately after the weld joint is prepared and the pipe ends properly aligned and
spaced, the root pass shall be run for the full circumference of the pipe. The root pass
shall be ground, it is not sufficient to only brush the weld, to remove all slag and leave a
smooth and uniform contour for the next pass, and in no circumstance should more time
elapse between the root and hot passes than that permitted by the welding procedure.
All slag and rough or uneven areas between passes shall be removed by using brushing
or grinding, as required, prior to commencing the subsequent pass.
All pieces of welding rod shall be collected in a suitable container and properly disposed
of. In no circumstance is any welding rod to be left on the ground or disposed of in the
trench.
When welding valves into the line, gate, globe, and check valves shall be in the closed
position and ball valves shall be in the open position.

specification requirements or modifications required by this specification. Current copies
of all pertinent documentation, such as specifications and approved Welding
