FLANGE FITTERS HANDBOOK

OBJECTIVE To make leak-free flange connections SCOPE The process of making flange connections. Type of connections - pipe to pipe, pipe to equipment, instrument to pipe, and vessel trim flange connections including blind flange connections The items involved - gaskets, studs, stud bolts, nuts. Preparatory actions - cleaning, lubrication, alignment, tightening.

HEALTH AND SAFETY Minimize the risks of following activities which are typical for making flanged connections. Working at height Working under scaffolding Working on scaffolding Working with lifting tools Rigging pipe; supporting pipe, components and equipment Large/heavy tool handling Use of long handled or extended tools Working with cleaning agents and lubricants Foreign/falling objects, fragments, debris, and splinters Working in high temperatures, dry environment, wind and dust Working near energized electrical units. Working near hazardous substances (Hydrocarbons, chemicals) and near construction activities or commissioning activities Working under time pressure

REQUIRED PPE (MINIMUM) Safety shoes Cover all with long sleeve shirt Safety glasses/goggles Safety hard hat Working gloves Hearing protection, when applicable SAFETY GOAL Return home safe and sound. Supervisory staff have a special responsibility to ensure the site is a safe place to work and to ensure that everyone is working in a safe manner. TIGHTNESS GOAL To achieve leak-free joints, supervisor must ensure Fitters are qualified Adequate tools and materials are arranged Calibrated torque wrenches are provided Whether the flange requires hydraulic tensioning as per table Fitter completes the flange protocol

GENERAL CHECK POINTS BEFORE MAKING FLANGE CONNECTIONS

Line size correct Material correct Flange rating correct Stress relieving complete Welding complete Installation straight and plumb Line slopes as per drawing NDT complete Flange facings protected against mechanical damage and corrosion

FLANGES

Flange type, material, rating correct against ISOs and MTOs. Flange mating surfaces must be cleaned where required before installation of gasket. Remove previous gasket residue and substances such as dirt, oil, and grease. Also remove preservative coatings. Use a wire brush for cleaning. The brush must be compatible with the flange material, so do not use carbon steel brush on SS flanges. Brush gently in the direction of the serrated rings of the gasket contact area. Make sure the serrated rings profile is maintained.

FLANGES

Inspect flange gasket seating areas on scratches, dents, scoring, and other damage. Minor damage may be acceptable consult Field Engineering when in doubt. General guideline: Damage (scratch, pit, or pitted area) shall not be deeper than serration depth, and under 30% of the gasket contact area width, measured in radial direction. If the damages are outside above acceptance criteria, the flange has to be replaced or re-machined. The nut seating surface must be flat and must provide a low friction, full contact area.

GASKETS, BOLTS AND NUTS Gaskets have been selected to make a leak-free flange connection throughout the range of expected operating pressures and temperatures. Correct type, material check color code of gaskets Correct gasket thickness and pressure rating Check stud bolt: materials, length, diameter, against ISOs and MTOs. Check threads of bolts are undamaged. Threads of stud bolts and nuts must be cleaned with a suitable solvent. Threads of stud bolts and nuts must be coated with an approved lubricant before installation.
LUBRICANTS As lubricant only use Molykote 1000 Lubricate working surfaces liberally coat all internal and external thread surfaces and nut/washer faces
8

ATTENTION POINTS DURING FLANGE INSTALLATION

Follow the tightening sequence as below. Install 50% of the stud bolts and nuts, finger-tight and gently tighten the rest of the stud bolts Hand-tighten all nuts. Bolts shall be tightened in a controlled sequence as follows. 1st pass: 30% of Specified Torque Value 2nd pass: 60% of Specified Torque Value 3rd pass: 100% of Specified Torque Value Final pass: Check at 100% of Specified Torque Value Follow the tightening sequence as per table with bolts numbered clockwise around the flange.

ATTENTION POINTS DURING FLANGE INSTALLATION

Flange face alignment must be within 1.5 mm per 305 mm pipe diameter. On pipe to pipe flanges, loosen adjacent pipe supports and adjust to achieve proper alignment. Note: bolting hardware shall be installed and nuts tightened sufficiently to remove slack prior to measuring alignment.
10

ATTENTION POINTS DURING FLANGE INSTALLATION Never adjust the equipment to achieve flange alignment. Alignment of flange studs, bolts or holes must be within 1.5 mm as measured along the bolt circle. Generally, if the bolt/stud slips in the flange holes easily, the alignment is satisfactory. Measure gaps between the flanges around the circumference to verify parallelism. Measure at four equally spaced locations for flanges up to 8 bolts; at every other stud bolt for flanges with more than 8 bolts and at 16 equally spaced locations for flanges with more than 32 stud bolts.

11

ATTENTION POINTS DURING FLANGE INSTALLATION When performing pipe to equipment fit-up, only the pipe shall be adjusted. Never adjust the equipment. Stud bolts length must protrude two (2) to three (3) threads beyond the nut. Stud bolts with diameter over 1-1/8 must have one and a half (1.5) full stud diameter beyond the nut to allow tensioning (install stud bolt with the stud marking always visible). In case of equipment flanges the stud bolt must protrude 1.5 times full stud diameter at the end pointing away form the equipment.

12

ATTENTION POINTS DURING FLANGE INSTALLATION Never use tape to fix gasket except to centre large or vertically oriented gaskets, where an engineering approved adhesive (e.g. Super 77 by 3M) may be used Never re-use a gasket. Quarantine used gaskets immediately away from unused gaskets Check for presence of double and missing gaskets. Never cut or deform gasket to fit a flange. Only use stud bolts and nuts that are clearly marked with material grade. Use temporary gasket only for temporary joints that is joints for flushing and hydro testing. Temporary gaskets must be painted BLUE on the entire outer rim to ensure detection at MC punch.

13

ATTENTION POINTS AFTER FLANGE INSTALLATION

Stud bolts must protrude 2 threads each nut After hydraulic tensioning completion, protruding 1.5 D thread ends greased and covered by plastic caps. Make sure all stud bolts are in and tight and specified torque values have been achieved. Clear identification by means of Tag to indicate that torquing or tensioning has been completed. Flange Protocol is signed by Fitter, Supervisor and Inspector.

14

Gas lines and supports not designed for hydrotest may require temporary supports, or special permission for pneumatic test. Ensure small diameter take-offs like vents, drains are properly fixed/supported. Check lines at pumps and other (rotating) equipment carefully for undue stresses on equipment flanges

18

SCREWED CONNECTIONS AND SEAL WELDING Screwed connections are only allowed in certain utility services (e.g., cooling/service water, tool/instrument air). Seal welding is not permitted. Use of tape not permitted. Threading compound may be used when approved by procedure. Check for presence (strictly prohibited for process/hydrocarbon services) of screwed connections at package units and valves, etc. INSULATING GASKET KITS Parts of insulating kits must never be mixed. Ensure no conducting paths for the two mating flanges Never use pneumatic impact wrenches
