Method of cleaning and flushing of piping spools and systems applicable

SAES-L-350,
A1 for every individual system category was approved/agreed upon by PMT,
Para. 15.1
Proponent and Inspection. (SAES-A-004, Para. 7.1.2 )

Visual verification of end limits covered by this inspection conformed with SAES-L-350,
A2
the QR (Quality Request for inspection) Para. 15.3

B Method 1: Progressive Internal inspection during assembly

Pipe spools are visually inspected for internal cleanliness (no presence of
loose particles/flakes or debris) prior to welding/bolting to the preceeding
and/or succeeding spools.
NOTES: SAES-L-350,
B1
a. Visual inspection includes the use of video inspection Para. 15.3.2
techniques, visual, scraping & positioning in vertical position.
b. Fine dust are acceptable, unless specified for critical
equipment.)

Ends of Piping spools or partially completed piping system that passed

visual inspection for internal cleanliness were covered and sealed
SAES-A-004,
B2 preventing entry of debris (moisture, water or other foreign materials).
Para. 7.1.2 c
(NOTE: Each section of cleaned spools or system shall be
recorded. )

End covers were not and cannot be removed by unauthorized personnel

prior to making the joint of the succeeding section of piping.
NOTES:
SAES-A-004,
B3 a. QA/QC and/or Aramco Project Inspection shall be notified
Para. 7.1.2 c
prior to removal of the end covers.
b. End covers removed without authorization shall make the
internal cleanliness null and void.

Partial cleanliness inspection certificate for each section of a completed

system are accounted for. SAES-L-350,
B4
(NOTE: Where cleanliness can not be fully verified, the system shall be Para. 14.2
cleaned by Method 2 or 3, whichever is applicable. )

C Method 2: Internal Cleaning by Water Flushing

Equipment sensitive to damage during water flushing are identified and SAES-L-350,
C1
isolated. (Ex: Flow meter, sight glass, soft-seated valves ) Appendix A
Equipment and in-line instruments that may interfere with the flow of
water and debris are removed. (Ex: check valve, control valve, sight SAES-A-004,
C2
glasses, venturies, positive displacement and turbine meters and other in- Para. 7.1.4
line equipment., etc. )
SAES-L-350,
C3 Full bore valves (ball & gate valves) are in full open position.

Flushing medium used are any of the following:
a. Plant/process water
SAES-L-350,
C4 b. Raw water (Fire water is acceptable where process water is
Appendix A
not applicable.)
(NOTE: Sea water is not acceptable. )

For stainless steel lines, the flushing medium shall have chloride ion
SAES-L-350,
C5 content less than 50 mg/L. (NOTE: After flushing, the piping systems
Appendix A
shall be completely drained, dried to a dew point below -1°C )

SAES-L-350,
C6 For lines below 4" dia., minimum velocity of water fushing is 3 m/s.
Appendix A
For lines 4" dia. and above, high pressure jet (rotating hose or nozzle) at SAES-L-350,
C7
a minimum pressure of 60.8 mPa (8.8 psi) is used. Appendix A

D Method 3: Pneumatic Flushing

Medium used for pneumatic flushing is dry air (dew point -1°C or less) or SAES-L-350,
D1
steam with a minimum exit velocity of 15 m/s. Appendix A
Flushing is repeated until cleanliness is verified by observing the SAES-L-350,
D2
absence of any solids impact on a polished metal target at the exit. Appendix A

E Method 4: Pressurized Air Shock Blowing (PASB)

PASB method is used for the following conditions:

a. For initial cleaning of instrument air, plant air
b. As an alternative method for initial cleaning of small bore pipe SAES-L-350,
E1
(less than 2 inch). Appendix A
c. Presence of trapped liquid in the piping, or if verification of
cleanliness using video inspection is not possible.

The air shocking pressure shall never exceed the working pressure of SAES-L-350,
E2
the system and shall never be more than 810 kPa (115 psi). Appendix A

Safety precautions are considered in consultation with Area Loss SAES-L-350,

E3
Prevention Division. Appendix A
PASB is repeated until cleanliness is verified by observing the absence SAES-L-350,
E4
of any solids impact on a polished metal target at the exit. Appendix A

F Method 5: Mechanical Scrapers

Mechanical scrapers are used on piping system that will not cause SAES-L-350,
F1
damage to the pipe interior surface (ie: piping with internal coating). Appendix A
Degree of cleanliness conforms with the approved internal cleaning SAESL-450,
F2
procedure. Para. 18.2

F3 Internal scrapers have full bore contact with the pipe diameter. Best Practice
Note: Additional checkpoint items or Acceptance Criteria shall be
* added to this checklist upon approval of the Piping Internal Cleaning
Procedure by scraping.
