The supervisor should also carry out a visual assessment of the joint. Hot
bolting should not be carried out on joints which show significant signs of
corrosion or necking, or which have worn or cracked threads on the
fasteners

Hot bolting should only be attempted under operating conditions when the
history of the flange assembly is known, i.e. records exist for the bolt load

The consequences of joint leakage during hot bolting should be considered

(for example, toxicity, flammability and temperature of escaping fluids) and
all necessary precautions taken. Contingency plans should also be put in
place for an escape or emergency, e.g. means of communications and
provision of standby equipment

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 gas 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.
Monitoring gas leakage by gas detector shall be continuously conducted on the
flanges during unbolting process, In case of gas detection, re-tighten
immediately the concerned bolt and inform operators.
Unbolting and bolting shall be done according to the following steps :
1.

Using gas detector, ensure there is no gas leakage on flange connection

on where hot bolting will be applied as well as existing facilities located
close to the bolting area

2.

Smear the bolt no. 1 until the last bolt by paint removal and leave it for
about 15 minutes

3.

Clean up the bolt by hand wire brush from dirt, paint or corrosion

4.

Install torque wrench or hammer wrench on the bolt

5.

Loosen the bolts nut just a little bit, then check this flange connection by
gas detector if there is gas leakage ,especially at the position of bolt being
loosened

6.

If the condition is safe, then continue unbolting process while monitoring

by gas detector

7.

Grease all threads of bolt and nuts

8.

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
