All sections of pipes having dead ends shall be fitted with suitable pressure relief
devices designed to operate between 168 kg/sq.cm and 210 kg/sq.cm.
The pipes shall be of ASTM A-53 seamless or A-106 type (Seamless Carbon Steel
High Pressure Schedule 40/80 pipe).
Fittings shall be class 300 malleable or ductile iron fittings shall be used. Flanged
joints upstream of any stop valves shall be class 600. Flanged joints downstream
of stop valves or in system with no stop valves may be class 300. Stainless steel
fittings of type 304 or 316, forged (ASTM A-182) shall be used.
13.9 Lock off Device (Inhibitor)
Each system shall incorporate a suitable locking device to make the automatic
system inoperative before undertaking any repair/ maintenance within the
protected area. The system shall be capable of putting on normal operation
after completion of the repair/maintenance work.
13.10 Caution Sign

Page 9
PIPELINE PROJECT
Volume-II of V
Necessary caution displays in the form of Audio-Visual type indicating the

hazards of carbon dioxide flooding shall be installed at strategic places in and
outside the coolant rooms and hydraulic room and also near the mills.
The visual display shall be of flashing type and the audio hooter/siren shall be of
distinct tone and capable of being heard in the range of 500 m from the source.
13.11 Weight Monitoring System
The weight monitoring system should be designed to monitor the weight of the
Co2 gas filled in the Co2 cylinder. It shall consist of a load cell of high quality and
precision with associated electronics and a cylindrical ring for holding the Co2
cylinder in place. The load cell can operate in 5`C to 70`C range. The
temperature affect on the span shall be 0.06% and the effect on Tare be
0.008%. The safe over load provision is 200% of the rated capacity of 100kgs.
The protection class code shall be IP-68. The system shall use preferably beam
type load cell. The system shall monitor Co2 gas weight on continuous basis all
the time. In the event of reduction in the weight of the Co2 gas in the cylinder
(either due to leakage or release of Co2 gas) beyond the preset limit, the
electronic circuitry provided in the unit shall activate the respective audio-visual
alarm unit and annunciates the occurrence of fault or fire.
