If there are several production sites, the manufacturer must name the intended site in the
offer. A change in production site needs to be approved by centrotherm SiTec in written
form. If the supplier assigns subcontractors for the production, he must proceed according
to section 3.2.

3.2 Subcontractor
If work shall be executed by any subcontractor, the supplier must keep supervision of the
product and make sure that the subcontractor receives all necessary information which is
important to fulfil his obligations according to PED.
Therefore the supplier must have assigned an explicit procedure (i.e. Quality
management system). He must ensure that the subcontractor is able to fulfil all quality
requirements. Sub-orders may only be forwarded, if the subcontractors are admitted by
centrotherm SiTec. All subcontractors must be named by the contractor in the offer and
must be approved by centrotherm SiTec in written form before placement of orders.
In case that the particular subcontractor is not admitted by centrotherm SiTec,
centrotherm SiTec will accomplish an on-site inspection at the subcontractor. The
resulting costs will be born by the contractor. The subcontractors chosen by the supplier
must also be named in the technical documentation for design assessment including
indication of scope of delivery and service. This specification does also oblige for the
subcontractor.

3.3 Monitoring of dates
centrotherm SiTec reserves its right to carry out monitoring of dates, building inspection
and inspection at the supplier and if necessary at its subcontractors according to the
existing manufacturing and material procurement. Therefore free access to all production
rooms and offices must be guaranteed after prior notice. If circumstances may be
recognised which may delay the date of delivery, the customer must be informed by
written form including detailed information about the reasons.

3.4 Correspondence / contact person
All questions (technical or commercial such as time of delivery, dispatch etc.) have to be
placed directly to the departments or persons named in the order. The centrotherm SiTec
order number must be indicated in each case.

3.5 Complete delivery
The delivery according to the order will be regarded as complete, if all necessary
documents arrived at centrotherm SiTec.

3.6 Acceptance
In each case, the final, contractual inspection takes place of receipt or after end of
installation at the production site at earliest.

4 General

4.1
Plant components must comply to the state of the art and with all centrotherm SiTec
specifications regarding material, calculation, production, inspection and equipment.
Deviations must be agreed by centrotherm SiTec in written form.

4.2
In case that commitments in the applicable specifications for the strength of the unit
components (general stress and stability check) are not sufficient, only calculation
methods may be used, which are approved as state of the art. Stress analysis and
stability checks have to be provided to centrotherm SiTec on demand.

lies above the normal atmospheric pressure (1013 mbar) by 0.5 bar at most. Fluids may
contain solid materials or gases according to their solubility (not by pressure dissolved
gases).

5.3 Instable gases
Instable are gases which may cause an exothermic reaction during storage or under
operation, caused by energy or catalytic impurity effects even under exclusion of
oxygen (currently instable classified gases see annex)

Page 7 of 14

6 Material selection and processing

In case that the material is presented in the technical specification, the
purchaser/consumer takes the responsibility for the stability of the used fluid. In this case,
a reference in the manual is necessary according to annex I, section 3.4 of PED. See also
AD 2000 data sheet HP 511, section 5.3.1, period 13.
The responsibility for special and professional processing of the material is with the
manufacturer.
Plates, forgings, flanges, pipes etc. needed for the production of the pressure devices
may only be purchased from manufacturers which are certified in the VdTV-data sheet
1253/1 to /4. Welding consumable materials may only be used of certified from VdTV.
Deviations are only permissible after written agreement and permission by centrotherm
SiTec.

7 Surface treatment

All surfaces of unalloyed and low-alloyed steel components must be derusted and painted
with a priming coat if not indicated differently before assembling according to centrotherm
SiTec specification.
Stainless steel must be treated according to centrotherm SiTec specification, if not
indicated differently.
For all other materials, the respective centrotherm SiTec specifications are valid.

Page 9 of 14

8 Examinations

Assessments have to be accomplished completely and according to manufacturing
process. Exceeding demands of other applicable legislation and set of rules to this
specification have to be considered. In case that theres no test specification indicated in
the order, the test extent must be made in accordance to the AD 2000 data sheets.
In case of a final inspection at printing devices respectively plant components by
centrotherm SiTec-representatives at the producers facilities, they have to be prepared
accordingly (vertical installation, for functional inspection supply of connections etc.).
All fees, i.e. for draft examination, acceptance (compression test, final examination,
examination of the safety devices) and documentation must be shown and included in the
purchase order price.

Page 10 of 14

9 Cleanness

9.1 General requirements
All instruments and plant components must be well-swept, dry and free from visible oil
and grease adhesions.

9.2 Addition requirements free of oil and grease execution
This must be agreed in the order/specification separately.
9.2.1 General
- The product touched surface may neither contain oil and grease nor oxygen grease or
other impurities.
- Medium touched interior zones may not be blasted respectively retreated with
anticorrosive agents.
- Every tool and adjuvant which is used for production and/or cleaning must be completely
free from non-ferrous metal (i.e. revising tools, mandrels, welding materials etc.).
9.2.2 Cleanness
As cleaning agent, fully demineralized water by means of a hot water high-pressure
device with non-ferrous injectors at 90 to 95 degree centigrade or vapour must be used.
In case of hard adhesive contaminations it may be pre-cleaned by the use of adequate
agents. After cleaning, the medium touched surfaces (machines inner surfaces, sealing
surfaces etc.) may only be touched with oil- and grease free gloves.
9.2.3 Drying and evacuating
If N2 or compressed air is used for pre-drying, it must be considered, that gas does not
contain any oil respectively residential moisture. Subsequently, all medium touched rooms
must be evacuated by means of a vacuum pump (equipment design for vacuum [-1 bar]
necessary).
Note: Seals, which have been used during the hydrostatic test, must NOT be used any
more during the evacuation. If the temperature lies less than 15 degree centigrade during
the drying procedure, the vacuum drying must occur in a heated room. The equipment
temperature must also not lie less than 15 degree centigrade. When pre-drying by means
of a compressor, the air must be aspirated via an air filter to avoid contaminations on the
inner surface. During the drying process, the equipment may be heated lightly (no open
fire). The following steps must be kept during evacuation/drying:

Page 11 of 14

Complete emptying of the apparatuses after high-pressure cleaning (attention to
dead spaces and undercuts)
When closing the notches, material conform flanges have to be used (steel type
steel flange, stainless steel stainless steel and/or plated steel flange)
Flushing by means of N2 or compressed air (free from humidity and oil) for pre-
drying
Ambient air temperature and object temperature must be detected and
documented directly before and after evacuation as well as after operating life (i.e.
at tube plates on WT). Evacuation to the absolute pressure indicated in the table in
addiction to the object temperature.

Drying process may only be finished if pressure in closed, evacuated room does
not rise more than 2mbar (in case of switched off vacuum pump and closed in-
between valve).
Test of this stable condition by means of a manometer and documentation with test
chart
Immediate filling of the device with dry nitrogen without opening any flanges
N2 overpressure must be adjusted at 0.5 bar (however, PS at maximum)
Do not demount charging and back pressure valves as well as manometer for the
transportation to centrotherm SiTec.

The correct cleaning and drying procedure must be certified by the contractor and sent to
centrotherm SiTec before delivery. The following advice is necessary on the container
drawings as well as on the delivered devices:

ATTENTION!
Danger of suffocation Nitrogen atmosphere!
Container under pressure!

NOTE: The adherence of the requirements will be examined by centrotherm SiTec during
the reception control. Each cleaning examination will take place by means of a wipe test
with a lint-free, white drapery. The drapery must not show any colour changes after the
wipe test.

Page 12 of 14

10 Preparation for delivery, transportation

All pressure devices and equipment components must be well cleaned and well dried. For
un- and low-alloyed steel, blank surfaces as i.e. shaft ends, seal contact surfaces etc.
must be covered with an easy removable corrosion protection.

Seal contacts must be protected against damages during the transportation.
All outside notches must be sealed i.e. with protective caps according to DIN 3444, DIN
EN 12351 or with blanking flanges according to DIN EN 1092-1.
Railroad railway cars must be equipped with leaded shock indicators for the transportation
of shock-sensitive pressure devices and plant components as i.e. glass, vitreous enamel
or graphite. Shock indicators may only be moved by railroad agents. Shock-sensitive
components must be offloaded according to defaults of the supplier.

In case that the actual transport- respectively installation weight deviates from the weight
indicated in the drawing, this must be communicated to the purchaser as soon as possible
still before arrival of the pressure device / the plant component.

ANNEXURE02 TO DOC. NO. PS14333G0000PDSPA40009

Page 2 of 10

1 Application area

This specification applies to the treatment of all surfaces including the welding seam
ranges of stainless austenitic steel of material groups 6, 7 or 8 according to AD-data
sheet HP 0, board 1.
Typically used materials of these groups are i.e. the German material numbers
W-No.: 1.4541, 1.4401, 1.4571, 1.4404, 1.4539 and 1.4462.

2 Purposes

The stainless austenitic materials according to section 1 provide a smooth, close
passive coat to air, thereby they are not attacked by certain media or the
atmosphere, and they are chemically resistant.
During treatment of those materials i.e. by welding, reshaping, drilling, turning or
milling, the passive layer may be damaged or destroyed by scale, tempering colors,
welding cinder residue, scoring etc. Thus, the material looses its corrosion resistance
and begins to corrode. In order to reconstruct the corrosion resistance after the
treatment, the materials must be treated subsequently with one of the procedures as
described in section 4.

Page 3 of 10

3 Different Treatments

3.1 Brushing
Brushing is no methodical treatment for the purpose of this specification and may be
used for cleaning purposes only. For brushing, austenitic steel brushes are
permissible only. Austenitic steel wire brushes must not be used for cleaning of other
ferrous materials.

3.2 Grinding
Grinding disks or rotor fan grinders are normally used for grinding. The selected grain
size has to be adapted stepwise and in adequate form to the grit of the final cut and
the cleaning effect. If no superior requirements are appointed to the surface finish, the
surface must be completed with an averaged roughness depth of Rz 4m. This
roughness depth can usually be obtained by grinding with a granulation of 240 or finer.
It must be pointed out, that no added or blunt abrasives are used and the material
surface is not strongly warmed up. Temper colors are not permissible. The abrasives
my only be used for austenitic materials.
The surface must be cleaned after grinding.

3.3 Blasting
Blasting as surface treatment for the purpose of this specification is permissible only
if its followed subsequently by acid cleaning according to section 3.4.3. For vapour-
blasting, the following points must be considered:
- For blasting of austenitic materials, fe-free abrasives may be used only.
- Abrasives, blasting pressure, blasting time and distance between nozzle head and
surface material have to be adapted to the material in an appropriate way and if
necessary be determined by preliminary tests.
- Via blasting, a surface roughness of Ry5 ) < 30m must be kept.
- The blasting material may not be contaminated, i.e. when working with pressure
blast plants, a dressing plant must be present; when working according to the
injection principle, only abrasives in mint conditions may be used.
If the material is provided with a corrosion-protective coating after blasting, a surface
roughness Ry5 of at least 30m up to maximum 60m must be obtained in order to
enable a sufficient adhesion for the corrosion-protective coating.

1) The roughness value Ry5 corresponds to the mean peak to valley height Rz as per DIN 4768

Page 4 of 10

3.4 Pickling
3.4.1 General
- The mixture of the pickling solution must be adapted to the chemical composition of
the working material, the desired working temperature and the effect desired by the
contractor.
- Chloride containing solutions are permissible for gap-free constructions only.
- The bath temperature must not exceed 50 degrees. In general, ambient
temperature is sufficient. The pickling time depends on bath composition and
temperature and has to be extended only until the desired effect has been reached.
- Moving the work- piece or the bath promotes the pickling process.
- The pickling process must be monitored
3.4.2 Cleaning
Before pickling, all materials which prevent a constant wetting of the surface as for
example oil, fat, glue or color must be removed by an adequate procedure.
3.4.3 Pickling as a Cleaning Method
During pickling-cleaning, no appreciable material strip will be occurred ( 3m).
This procedure is usually used with a previous mechanical procedure.
3.4.3.1 Cleaning with Pickling Solution
The following weak pickling solutions can, for example, be used to clean material
W-No. 1.4541 or 1.4571:

a) 5 volume parts nitric acid (1.39 g/cm3 65 mass-%),
0.5 volume parts hydrofluoric acid (1.23 g/cm3 70 mass-%),
94.5 volume parts water

b) 20 volume parts nitric acid (1.18 g/cm3 37 mass-%),
3 volume parts hydrofluoric acid (1.39 g/cm3 65 mass-%),
77 volume parts water

3.4.3.2 Cleaning with Pickling Paste
The etching solutions indicated in section 3.4.3.1 can be prepared to a brushable
paste by using an adequate, hydrofluoric acid resistant thickener as i.e. barium
sulfate or aluminium oxide.
3.4.4 Pickling as a Material Removal Method
Pickling is to be carried out such that from 3 to 5m material is removed.

Page 5 of 10

3.4.4.1 Material Removal with Pickling Solution
The following pickling solutions can, for example, be used to remove materials
W-No. 1.4541 or 1.4571:

a) For W-No. 1.4541:
8 volume parts nitric acid (1.39 g/cm3 65 mass-%),
1.5 volume parts hydrofluoric acid (1.23 g/cm3 70 mass-%)
90.5 volume parts water
b) For W-No. 1.4571:
12 volume parts hydrofluoric (1.23 g/cm3 70 mass-%),

A pickling time of 30 minutes in the bath at room temperature is required in cases.

c) For W-No. 1.4541 or 1.4571:
10 volume parts hydrofluoric acid (1.39 g/cm3 65 mass-%),

The water used for the pickling solution must be drinking water (chlorine ion content
50ppm). If damages can be expected according to remaining chlorides (as for
example stress corrosion cracking), a chloride-free pickling solution has to be used
and prepared with demineralized water or clean condensate.
3.4.4.2 Material Removal with Pickling Paste
For the pickling with paste with acid mixtures according to section 3.4.4.1, for a
temperature of 20 degrees, an etching duration of 3 hours is necessary, in order to
clear away a surface layer from 3 to 5m. Lower temperatures require an extended
pickling time. According to the limited acid content in a paste, there will be no pickling
damages if the respective minimum pickling time is exceeded (i.e. appealing over
night).
3.4.5 Follow-up treatment
3.4.5.1 Rinsing
After etching, all parts must be cleaned with drinking water (chlorine ion content
50ppm) until no more acid can be determined at the etched parts. Neutrality has to
be proven by the use of indicator paper, if necessary.
For the support of the cleaning process, wire brushes may only be used if they are
consisting of austenitic material and if they are free from any impurities.
An additional passivation after cleaning is not necessary, since the desired passive
coating will be accumulated during cleaning and the effect of atmospheric oxygen

Coatings at temperatures of < -60 C must be adjust ed with centrotherm SiTec.
2) Coating thickness to be guaranteed after drying

3.4.5.2 Neutralization
Form-difficult parts with areas difficult to access whereby pickling remains cannot be
removed completely by flushing must be neutralized in a neutralization bath of at
least pH 8 (i.e. drinking water with soda).
Subsequently, it will be flushed with drinking water again, according to section 3.4.5.1.
3.5 Anti-Corrosion Coating
Before putting on the coating, a surface roughness Ry5 of at least 30m up to 60m
must be present.
The anti-corrosion coating must be executed according to table 1.
3.6 Special Methods
3.6.1 Pressure Shot Blasting with Austenitic Blasting Agent
During ball pressure blasting, defined compressive stresses are brought into the
material surface. Thus, danger of stress cracking can be reduced. The method may
be used with the agreement of centrotherm SiTec.
3.6.2 Blasting with Glass Shot for Compacting
The points noted under section 3.3 must be noted when blasting with glass shot. If
the angle is kept close to 90when blasting with g lass shot, this induces compressive
residual tension into the material surface. The residual compressive stress cannot be
induced as precisely as with pressure shot blasting, but it does also reduce the
danger of stress cracking. The method may only be used with the agreement of
centrotherm SiTec.
3.6.3 Electro-polishing
If there are highest demands on the corrosion resistance, purity or surface
roughness, the materials have to be polished electrochemically. The method may
only be used with the agreement of centrotherm SiTec.

Page 7 of 10

4 Selecting and Applying the Method

The executed procedure can be chosen by the client after the respective range of
application. The choice may be supported by centrotherm SiTec, if necessary.
If there are no additional agreements made within an application or order, for the
internal and external surface treatment, one of the methods characterized with in
table 2 or 3 has to be chosen. If other procedures are necessary due to the range of
application, they must be agreed separately by the client.

Ordering example 1:
Surface treatment according to centrotherm SiTec VA 08-008
That is, the contractor can select a method characterized with for internal and
external surface treatment according to section 4.2 and 4.3.

Ordering example 2:
Surface treatment according to centrotherm SiTec VA 08-008, outside procedure O
inside procedure G
That is, the contractor doesnt need to accomplish a surface treatment on the outside
(the atmosphere side); on the inside (the medium side), the surface treatment must
be glass shot blasting with a subsequent etch-cleaning.

4.1 Basic Surface Treatment Conditions
The materials have been treated according to the state of the art appropriate
procedure and show no inadmissible material damages.
Inadmissible material damages are in example:
- deep scratches or rough stress marks or
- material oxidation as can occur if not enough inert gas protection is used when
welding or tacking.

Machined sealing surface must generally be pickled (material removal) prior to use.
This also applies to sealing surfaces that have been cleaned with a spatula or wire
brush (damage to the passivated layer).
