PROCEDURE Responsibility The Hydro test Engineer shall be responsible for preparation of the test procedure, delivery of the approved test package to job site The Site Piping Engineer shall ensure the completeness of the piping system before testing through pre-test punch listing. Dodsal RTR QC Inspector to check the system, verify all QC documents, clears the system for Gravity leak testing and co - ordination with the inspection group. The Asst. Piping Engineer and / or Piping Foremen shall prepare the system for leak test. DODSAL RTR piping QC Inspector to check the system and he shall issue RFI to SNAMP and SAUDI ARAMCO for witness of the gravity leak test.

5.2 SAFETY 5.2.1 5.3 The piping system to be tested shall be properly supported and restrained from movements.

MATERIALS All preparatory materials PLUGS or balloon of various Sizes and vent pipe etc

5.4

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 5.4.1 5.4.2 Prior to the conduct of b leak test, the pre-test punch lists YES ITEMS if any shall be cleared. Sewers that have not been back filled shall be watertight for a period of 4 hours. Sewers that have been back filled shall be watertight for a period of 24 hours.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 5.5.1 The system may be separated into sub-system for testing. The Under Ground services lay-out Drawing shall show the limit and method of isolation for system or sub- system shall be prepared prior to testing. Fill the system / sub system with approved test fluid (Raw Water) All openings not included in the test shall be isolated by stopper/ plug/ balloon. Air venting shall be provided during filling the sewer pipes. The test water will be filled to the rim of man hole as per SAES- S 070 Para. 18.8. (f). If any leakage is found the system shall be dewatered. Leaks shall be repaired. Test fluid (Raw Water) shall be refilled and test will be continued.

5.5. 2

5.5. 3 5.5.4

5.5.5 Test shall be considered satisfactory if there is no evidence of leakage or loss of WATER LEVEL after the specified test period of 4 Hours / 24 Hours (FULLY BURIED LINES) 5.5.6 5.5.7 Upon completion, the system shall be drained fully. The drained water will be disposed off safely into the sewer drains/ Filled for testing other system( Re use) or safer destinations, which are acceptable to Saudi Aramco. The test result will be documented on the Pressure Test Information Sheet (2462-1-ENG).
