From the two calculations above, the smaller value of gauging plate
diameter is 736.3mm and this, therefore, becomes our gauge plate
diameter for the gauging of this section of pipeline.
6. The recommended gauging pig speed should be not less than 0.5 m/s
and not more than 2.5m/s and a constant back pressure should be
maintained by suitable adjustment of a throttling valve (e.g. set at 3
bar (ga) depending on the driving medium) installed at the receiving
test head.
7. Gauging plate measurement, introduction of the gauging pig into in
the test section, and removal from the test section shall be carried out
in the presence of SHELL. A photographic record shall be taken of the
condition of each gauging plate after use.
8. In cases where the test section to be filled with line-fill water is a
combination of two or more cleaning and/or gauging sections, the
second filling pig shall be a gauging pig which shall be inspected by
the SHELL upon removal of the test head.
