Revision: 10
6. Procedure
6.1 INSPECTION ROLE
The role of the Inspection Engineer is to:
To attend pre-fabrication – refer to appendix 1a/b for typical agenda of meeting.
Review all Welding, NDE and PWHT procedures, where necessary in consultation with the
Senior Materials/Corrosion Engineer.
Verify welders’ qualifications are current and qualified in the processes of the weld procedures
used.
Review and approve work/quality plans, including QA / QC and Inspection and Test Plans
(ITP) to ensure that Company requirements (e.g. DEPs) are incorporated and that the
contractor carrying out the work has a approved quality plan for the work to be conducted;
Where statutory equipment is involved, to liaise with Ministry of Manpower (MOM) (refer to
MNT_INTG-2005OP, Compliance with Workplace Safety and Health Act Requirements.);
Conduct inspection of welds;
Arrange for and review NDT results, where necessary – see section 6.8
Witness hydrostatic testing where applicable.
Retain all the appropriate documents, which are provided by the contractor or Maintenance
Section, and file into individual equipment record.
6.3 Documentations
The Contractor shall submit the following documents to the Inspection Engineer for review prior to
execution of work. Any documents or procedures not complying with company requirements shall
be returned to the contractor for revision.
Documents containing details of;
Contract No. / Title,
Welder Qualifications and ID No., plus PRIMOS qualification/certification
Weld Map and Joint No.,
Welding Procedure Specification No. plus revision and appropriate PQR.
Test Loops
Contractor’s quality and test plans, including an Inspection Test Plan, for approval by the
Inspection Engineer.
Note:
NDT, PMI, when necessary, and hydrostatic testing requirements are recorded by the
Inspection Engineer in the Inspection Test Plan
Shell approved sketches or isometrics/drawings
Materials mill certificates
Contract specifications, where applicable
Welders Procedure Qualification, where applicable
Where statutory equipment is involved, refer to MNT_INTG-2005OP, Compliance with Workplace
Safety and Health Act Requirements.
then proceed with inspection and arrange for NDT and PMI, if necessary, to be carried out. For
weld joints that are subjected to Radiographic Test, the Contractor shall input the test results into
their Welder Menu so that the performance of welders is being tracked. All NDT reports shall then
be incorporated in the test package, to be retained by the Inspection Engineer, for records.
6.5 Material:
For material colour coding, to refer to MNT_INTG-2013OP - Inward Goods Inspection Procedure.
The heat numbers shall be reflected onto the relevant shop fabrication isometric/weld map and

stress hard stamp or suitable permanent marker before materials are cut.
6.5.1 Consumables
i) Contractors shall have system to verify and demonstrate effective control of correct
consumables meeting specifications are used throughout the fabrication process. For filler
rods, sampling PMI to be done per box/tube
ii) Consumables requirement shall follow :
a) The relevant as built construction code for pressure static equipment or piping.
b) For HFA services - Alloy 400 welding,
i) Weld metal iron content shall be less than 5 wt%.
ii) Weld electrode titanium content should be less than 2.2 wt%.
6.7 Hardness
a) The extent of hardness testing shall follow DEP 31.38.01.31-Gen; Appendix 4
b) The acceptance criteria for hardness limit shall meet the appropriate code requirement as
outlined in
i) DEP 31.22.00.31-Gen UNFIRED PRESSURE VESSELS
ii) All weld procedures shall meet the hardness testing criteria and hardness limits for
carbon steel piping as outlined in DEP 31.38.01.31-Gen. “Shop and Field Fabrication of
Piping.”
6.8 NDT:
a) NDE procedures and technician competency are to be reviewed and approved by Inspection
Engineer.
b) For Extent of NDT, DEP 31.38.01.31-Gen; Appendix 4 shall be used plus the following
additional:
c) 100% PMI shall be done on each component including welds for all alloy steel. This shall
include valves body and all fittings. Writing PMI-OK beside the tested point is required.
i) For HF services - Low Temp Carbon Steel and Monel require PMI. For
acceptance criteria :
Low Temp Carbon steel -
For 0.18wt% <C <0.23wt%
Cu+Ni < 0.15wt%
For C< 0.18wt%
Cr+Cu+Ni <0.15%.

Alloy 400 welding, Weld metal iron content shall be less than 5 wt% and Ti
<2.2%
d) For all tie-ins, the following additional requirement is required for all Hydrocarbon service
pipes:
i) Penetrant Test (PT) or Magnetic Particle Test (MT) of existing pipe tie-in weld
preparation
ii) Spot Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging (UTG) on existing pipe; adjacent to the weld
preparation in the following breakdown:
Diameter <4” = 2 points
Diameter 4 to 12” = 4 points
Diameter >12” = 8 points
iii) 100% Radiography Test (RT) of tie-in.
Note; Ultrasonic Test (UT) maybe use inplace of RT for branch connections if RT is not
possible.
e) HFA services NDT requirement shall follow “Severe Cyclic Conditions” as indicated in
Appendix 2
f) Acceptance criteria
i) Acceptance criteria for the NDT shall follow the relevant original construction code for
the pressure static equipment or piping.
ii) For HFA services, the acceptance criteria for the Piping shall meet the weld acceptance
criteria for “Severe Cyclic Conditions” as outlined in ASME B31.3 “Process Piping.”
