Note: For materials shown with 2 colors above, one stripe of each shall be applied for

identification purposes.

5. PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT Carbon steel and chrome steel pipe, fittings, and flanges, when not galvanized or prime

coated, shall be furnished with the 's standard protective mill coating on external surface only.

Austenitic stainless steel pipe, fittings, and flanges shall not be coated.

Austenitic stainless steel or nickel alloy pipe, fittings, and flanges shall be protected from

ferritic contamination and chloride attack such as might occur from exposure to salt water

spray or atmosphere during shipment, cleaning, fabrication, testing, or storage. Consideration

shall also be given to enclosing or wrapping in a vapor proof barrier material.

Piping components with beveled ends shall be palletized and shrink wrapped or banded with

steel or plastic strapping. Supplier shall submit their standard packing procedure for approval.

Threaded ends of pipe shall be fitted with plastic thread protectors. Threaded or socket weld

openings in fittings and flanges shall be fitted with plastic plugs. Pipe ends shall be supplied

with protective plugs or caps, to protect weld bevels.

Flanges shall be suitably shipped on pallets or in wooden crates and shrink-wrapped or tied

down and shall have cardboard, pressboard, rubber, or plastic face protectors between layers

of flanges in order to avoid any contact. Single loose flanges shall have high-impact plastic

protectors secured with lock plugs (integral or separate). Wood, cardboard or pressboard

protectors (that can absorb water) are not acceptable as flange face protectors.

Supplier shall be responsible for suitably shielding the open ends of pipes, and flanges to

protect weld

I threaded ends from damage during handling and shipment.

Each length of pipe shall be clear of debris, thoroughly clean inside and out, and free of any

dirt and foreign matter before shielding the ends.





Machined surfaces other than weld bevels (e.g. threads, flange faces, gasket seating surfaces)

shall be coated with a corrosion inhibitor.

Pipe and fittings shall not be transported as open above deck cargo without prior written

approval of the Purchaser.

6. PROTECTION AGAINST CORROSION AND MECHANICAL DAMAGE The Supplier shall ensure that all items are protected against corrosion, contamination and

mechanical damage in accordance with the Supplier's standard procedures that shall be

submitted to the Purchaser for approval.

A copy of the instructions for the renewal and/or removal of any rust preventatives shall be

supplied with the goods by the Supplier.

Threaded ends shall be greased and fitted with a plastic cap or plastic thread protector to

ensure adequate thread protection.

Pipe beveled ends shall be coated with a Purchaser approved corrosion preventative and

fitted with a plastic cap.

All carbon steel pipes shall have a Purchaser approved desiccant stapled inside the plastic

end cap at each end of the pipe.

Any strapping shall be stainless steel or plastic coated steel with a minimum thickness of

0.27mm.





7. DOCUMENTS SUBMITTALS

7.1 Certificate of Compliance Supplier shall furnish certification of material composition I chemistry, radiographic and

hydrostatic testing in compliance with ASTM, API, or ASME specification. Certification shall be

as follows. The certification levels shown shall also apply to all NDE.

- Hardness Report (Compliance with 18015156)

The certification shall state the Purchaser's PO Number, Item Code Numbers, name and

address of Supplier or Vendor, and shall be certified by Supplier's authorized agent.

7.2 Material Test Reports For impact tested steel, low alloy steel, chrome steel, stainless steel, or nickel alloy pipe,

fittings and flanges, Supplier shall furnish the Manufacturer MDRs (Manufacturers Data





Reports) showing actual results of chemical analysis and mechanical test in compliance with

the referenced ASTM specification. The test reports shall be originated by the primary

material and shall be traceable to each item or length of pipe through legible paint stenciled

heat numbers or equivalent. The documents shall be identified with Buyer's PO number and

Item Code number and shall be signed by the Vendor's authorized agent.

All chemical analysis shall be certified by product check analysis with the exception of

galvanized carbon steel for which ladle analysis will be acceptable.

Vendor's reports, etc., shall be kept available by the Supplier for examination by the Company

or his representative, for a minimum period of 5 years.

The actual temperature of all heat treatment shall be recorded on the material certificates.

The supplier shall ensure that appropriate certificates showing mill heat or batch markings, are

received I delivered for all furnished materials. Materials furnished without documentation are

unacceptable.

The Supplier shall be responsible for maintaining an effective Quality system and maintaining

records in accordance with the requirements of the relevant procedures I specifications

contained in Purchase Order

7.3 Welding and NDE Procedures The welding procedures and qualifications shall be in accordance with ASME Section IX. The

qualifications shall include hardness testing in accordance with ASTM A370. The hardness

testing shall be performed on the weld and the heat affected zone and after required heat

treatment.

The NDE procedures shall be in accordance with ASME Code Section V.

For all fabricated piping items, the welding procedures, procedure qualifications, and NDE

procedures for the following materials shall be submitted for authorization.
