METHOD All work shall be carried out as per GSPL specification, API 1104, ASME B 31.8 ASME Sec IIC and Approved WPS/PQR. 1. Tie In shall be made in such ways that, without including excessive stresses in the steel, small displacement necessary for perfect alignment and connection at the ends. 2. Bell Holes/weld pit with sufficient size shall be made to facilitate for welding and provide adequate clearance to the welders to make sound weld. 3. External line up clamp shall be released only after completion of 60% of root weld. Pipe pup piece length for Tie shall be Minimum 1m on either side of the each circle joint. In no case more than three (3) welds shall be permitted on a 10 meter length of pipeline. 4. For Tie In at already hydro tested sections, the pre tested pup pieces shall be used. Long seam orientation minimum 200 mm to 300mm to be maintained as per approved main line welding job procedure. 5. Welded joints which are welded using external clamps (e.g. tie in welds) shall be 100% tested by ultrasonic & Radiography and

The new Bevel shall be 100% visual and DP tested & report shall be prepared for all above test. 7. UT shall be checked on pipes which have been cut to an extent of 25 mm at the new bevel to ensure, it is free from laminations. 8. Before any pipe length is cut, the painted Pipe No,. Heat No., Shall be transferred to either side of the pup lengths of the cut pipe with relevant suffix A-B-C. Also recorded and painted with pipe no & Heat no. 9. Where different wall thickness pipe are to be welded 1:4 taper internal grinding on the higher thickness shall be done. 4.0
