Notes for Table D1.0:


1. The minimum inspection requirements specified herein are in accordance with DEP 31.38.01.31-Gen., Appendix 4 – Inspection Classes for Piping.
2. All piping classes are in accordance with ASME B31.3 unless specified otherwise. The Fluid Service Categories are defined in ASME B31.3, Section 300.2. The
identification of piping systems subject to Severe Cyclic Conditions (as defined in ASME B31.3) for Contractor’s implementation shall be the responsibility of the
Design Contractor (if different from the Construction Contractor). The industry code (ASME B31.4, etc) is identified for those systems not conforming to ASME
B31.3.
3. 100% visual examination of the completed weld is required for all metallic and non-metallic piping. Note: The 100% visual examination is more stringent than the
requirements in Appendix 4 of DEP 31.38.01.31, where no visual examination is specified for ASME Class 900 piping systems and lower.
4. Radiography is specified for butt-welds and when checking the gap (a nominal 1 - 2 mm gap) in the socket weld fittings between the butt end of the pipe and the
recessed shoulder of the fitting.
5. In addition to the Piping Classes listed in Table D1.0, use 100% radiography on welds as specified in this Appendix, Section D4.2.
6. The grading and acceptance criteria for radiography of welds shall be in accordance with ASME B31.3, Table 341.3.2A, unless specified otherwise herein.
7. Ultrasonic examination (UT) shall not be used in lieu of radiography (RT) unless approved by the Principal’s Representative. UT examinations shall be in accordance
with DEP 31.38.01.31 Section 4.3.4 and Appendix 4.
8. Liquid Penetrant (PT) or Magnetic Particle (MT) examinations shall apply only to branch-to-run pipe welds on branch connections, fillet welds of support clips, shoes,
bracings and attachments. PT and MT examinations shall be in accordance with DEP 31.38.01.31 Section 4.3.5 and Appendix 4.
9. Hardness testing shall apply to sour, wet hydrogen sulphide, very toxic services, and to severe cyclic conditions. Hardness examinations shall be in accordance with
Appendix E, and DEP 31.38.01.31 Section 4.4 and Appendix 4.
10. Ferrite Number (FN) examinations shall apply only to duplex, super-duplex and austenitic stainless steels. FN examinations shall be in accordance with DEP
31.38.01.31 Section 4.3.6 and Appendix 4.
11. Impact testing of welds shall be in accordance with this Appendix D, Section D8.0, and Appendix C for special services and alloys.
12. The grading and acceptance criteria for radiography of welds shall be in accordance with API 1104.
13. Applicable only to the topsides platform segments of the risers.
14. Pneumatic testing in accordance with Section 14.6 herein may be used for instrument air and start air systems to prevent contamination with water.
15. Leak testing shall use a static head of water. The Principal’s Representative shall specify the static head on a case-by-case basis.
16. The gas outlet piping (400 PG47111-11432GKT-WST) on the Produced Water Surge Drum (V-4711), the Glycol Flash Vessel (V-4212) and the Glycol Reflux
Condenser (ES-4211) may contain hydrogen sulphide at levels exceeding 500 ppm if the field sours. This finding was presented in SIEP’s Hydrogen Sulphide
Partitioning Study, GKA-300-PX-7180-0000005, Rev. 01R. and subsequent studies by the topsides design contractor. Since this fluid can be toxic, Category M Fluid
Service (toxic) must be applied to that piping system.
17. The fire water (Lloyd’s Piping Class II), instrument air (Lloyd’s Piping Class III), start air (Lloyd’s Piping Class III) and diesel fuel (Lloyd’s Piping Class II) systems are
subject to classification by the Class Society Lloyd’s Register. The inspection and testing of those systems shall be in accordance with the Lloyd’s Register requirements
as specified in their “Rules and Regulations for the Classification of a Floating Offshore Installation at a Fixed Location, 1999 Edition”. These shall include but not be
limited to Part 5, Chapter 11 – Piping Design Requirements, Section 8 – Hydraulic tests on pipes and fittings and Part 5, Chapter 16 - Requirements for Fusion Welding
of Pressure Vessels and Piping, Section 10 Welded pressure pipes. The requirements specified in ASME B31.3 and herein meet or exceed those of the Class Society;
therefore no additional inspection and testing are required. The Lloyd’s Inspector / Surveyor shall have access to classified piping systems.
Table D1 Page 7 of 11
F1.0
18. Framo hydraulic piping systems conform to DIN specifications. The inspection and testing of those systems shall be in accordance with the Framo requirements as
specified in Framo Catalogue No. 1401-0041-4 "Hydraulic Piping Fabrication and Installation" (ASSAI Document No. GKA-222651-H02-00014). The requirements
specified in ASME B31.3 and herein meet or exceed those of Framo; therefore no additional inspection and testing are required. The Framo representative shall have

APPENDIX E - HARDNESS TESTING


E1.0 Scope
Hardness testing shall be performed in accordance with DEP 31.38.01.31, Section 4.4 –
Hardness Testing, ISO 15156, ASME B31.3, Table 331.1.1 and as specified herein.
In the event of conflicts, the more stringent of the requirements shall be used.
Note: The requirements in DEP 31.38.01.31, Section 4.4 have been included herein in their
entirety for the convenience of the users.
Hardness testing shall be performed in all Sour Service applications and on the following
materials in all services.
a. AISI 4130 and 4140
b. API 60K and 75K materials used for API 6A flanges
Hardness testing shall be conducted on base materials, production welds and for weld procedure
qualifications.
E2.0 Hardness Testing
E2.1 General
Hardness testing shall be performed to assure adequate material toughness or materials conform
to the piping code requirements, suitability for the designated service conditions and to verify
satisfactory heat treatment.
The hardness shall not exceed 248 HV10 unless ASME B31.3 table 331.1.1 specifies a lower
hardness limit. Brinell hardness limits in ASME B31.3 may be converted to Vickers hardness
using ASTM E140.
E2.2 Base Materials
Hardness testing shall be performed on, or documented for, 100% of the raw stock. Given that
hardness testing and documentation is normally available from suppliers when specified, the
Contractor shall pay all costs associated with hardness testing of raw stock, including
replacements as required, but excluding materials provided by the Principal.
Contractor should expect the Principal’s Inspector to conduct 5% minimum random hardness
tests on each lot of pipe to be used for Sour Service.
E2.3 Weld Procedure Qualifications
Macro-hardness traverse testing shall be conducted on a test specimen from the Welding
Procedure Qualification test, except as noted in Section 2 of this Appendix to fulfil the
requirements of ISO 15156. The hardness tests shall be conducted using the Rockwell B or C
scale, in accordance with ASTM E-18, Rockwell Hardness and Rockwell Superficial Hardness of
Metallic Materials.
The macro-hardness tests shall consist of a minimum of readings at locations specified in ISO
15156-2:2003, Section 7.3.3, Welds, Figures 2, 3 and 4 therein.
E2.4 Production Welds
Appendix D, Table D1.0 specifies the percentage of production welds to be hardness tested.
Those welds shall be hardness tested as follows:
 At least one reading per weld shall be taken on piping of size DN 100 and smaller
 At least two readings per weld shall be taken on piping of size DN 125 through DN 300

Table D1 Pa
F1.0

 At least one reading every 400 mm of weld length shall be taken on piping over size DN300
Each check shall consist of one hardness point in the weld metal and one in each HAZ. A
hardness point will consist of the number of indentations per test recommended by the
instrument manufacturer.
The Principal’s Inspector will select welds to be hardness checked using the following criteria:
If a hardness point fails to meet the specified criteria, two additional tests may be made adjacent
to the failing checkpoint and, if both pass, no further action is necessary.
Testing shall be performed on unpainted metal surfaces after all required heat treatments.
Hardness testing shall be 100% in lethal gas service (e.g., >500 ppm H2S) and any weld exposed
to vibration from any reciprocating equipment (e.g., pumps, compressors, or other high
vibration source).
The highest hardness for each weld shall be recorded on the spool sheets for the Principal's
review and record.
E2.5 Hardness measurement method
Hardness measurements for welding procedure qualification shall be performed by the Vickers
method, with hardness traverses in accordance with EN 1043-1. The series of readings shall
extend from unaffected base material on one side, across the weld to unaffected base metal on
the other side. Three traverses shall be made: one 2 mm below the outer surface, one 2 mm
below the inner surface and one across the centre. The distance between measurements across
the weld shall not exceed 2 mm.
Transverse weld hardness testing of production welds shall be carried out by means of a portable
Vickers or Rockwell tester in accordance with ASTM E 110 or, if approved by the Principal, by
another method capable of detecting a hard HAZ in a reliable and repeatable manner. Hardness
tests shall be made on properly ground surfaces. For each set of hardness measurements
required, the average and maximum of three measurements on the weld and on each HAZ shall
be reported.
Hardness measurements shall be carried out after PWHT (if any).
E2.6 Testing Equipment
Testing shall be performed using any non-destructive, non-stress inducing hardness test
verifiable and certifiable per ASTM E-18 and E-110 and acceptable to the Principal’s
Representative [Note: Weight, hydraulic, Equotip, and (Break) Pin-Brinell type testers are
acceptable; New Age testers are being considered; Telebrinellers are not acceptable].
E2.7 Failure to Pass Tests
If the hardness tests fail to meet the specified criteria, then the raw stock shall be retested. As
applicable, the raw stock will then be rejected or all welding between failing hardness checks will
be removed and repaired. In either case, progressive examination shall apply. Repairs shall be
performed as indicated by the Principal’s Inspector for repair welding. The Contractor shall pay
for hardness testing or retesting for defective welds.
