the system flushing circuits, direction of flow, volume scope, equipment
isolation and prime mover used.
b. Pre-commissioning test sheet for flushing is to be prepared prior to the starting
of the operation and approved by Contractor / Company. Notice to the pre-
commissioning team shall be sent together with test sheet and marked-up P&ID.
c. Conformity line check shall be performed to the piping network as per as-built
isometric and marked-up P&ID. All doubler plates and/or pipe supports shall be
checked to ensure that they are properly installed.
d. It shall also be notified where the location of permanent support hangers or
supplementary supports needed in order to withstand stress due to flushing.
e. During flushing the spring supports and spring hangers shall be blocked / locked
(See manufacturers instruction).
f. Any sensitive instrumentation (flow instrumentation, probes, orifices) to be fully
protected. All control valves shall be removed prior to flushing and then
replaced by appropriate spool piece or if possible to joint the connection
directly.
g. Flushing outlet nozzle area should be at largest nozzle at the low point.
h. Flushing pressure shall not exceed the piping design pressure, but flush rates and
flow must be high enough to remove heavy debris (below 7 bars)
i. Flushing of interconnecting pipe work should be in the direction of fall and from
smaller pipe work into larger pipe work ensuring no debris is left trapped in
dead legs. (Refer to GOC Mechanical - Pipe Testing).
