Radiography Procedures
Carry out hot bolting on one bolt at a time in accordance with the operator's correct
sequence. Remove, examine, clean and lubricate each bolt, complete with nuts, for
reuse. Any damaged bolts or nuts shall be disposed of and replaced with new items
to the correct piping specification. If there is any doubt, the materials shall be
replaced. All exposed flange surfaces must be cleaned. And the area under the nuts
lubricated.
Note: Bolt cutting by any hot methods, including burning and grinding, is not usually
permitted during hot bolting operations. Any cold bolt cutting, including hydraulic nut
splitting, is usually only permitted by specific approval of the relevant authority.
Ensure that the bolt has been correctly tightened before moving onto the next bolt in
the sequence. Initial retightening of refitted bolts shall not introduce additional local
compression of the gasket.
After all the bolts have been replaced, a final tightness check shall be carried out
again.
This work will be executed on flanges of live facilities, therefore in order to avoid potential
risk of water leakage rising through the flanges connection, the bolts shall be released
and reinstated one by one. Sequence of bolts tightening arranged as such way to
minimize the risk as defined in work steps hereafter.
Due to short length of existing bolt, torque wrench or hammer wrench will be used for
bolting / unbolting. Prior to unbolting a complete check of all new bolts nuts (number +
diameter + length + material) must be performed. Thread of existing bolts shall be
cleaned up first from any dirt, paint or corrosion by means of paints removal and to be
brushed by hand wire brush.
After one bolt has been released, then the all threads of bolt and nut shall be properly
greased prior to reinstatement.

Smear the bolt no. 1 until the last bolt by paint removal and leave it for about 15 minutes.
Clan up the bolt by hand wire brush from dirt, paint or corrosion.
Install torque wrench or hammer wrench on the bolt.
Loosen the bolts nut just a little bit, then check this flange connection if there is
water leakage, especially at the position of bolt being loosened.
If the condition is safe, then continue unbolting process while monitoring.
Grease all threads of bolt and nuts.
Reinstate the bolt and properly tighten it using torque wrench.
Mark the bolt that has been completed using marker.
For hot bolting work, the bolts shall be released & reinstated one by one.
