AFETY

Hydraulic power tools enable the user to more easily accomplish bolting tasks with increased force, accuracy and efficiency.

Due to the nature of the tools, with large forces generated, and for hydraulic torque equipment from high-pressure fluid/air and electricity

strict safety issues are followed through the tools‟

proper design and documentation. However the user must accept the primary responsibility for safety when using torque tightening tools by carrying out site related risk assessments, and reading, understanding and complying with all operating instructions prior to and during operation.

This procedure is aimed to give proper instruction for use and care of hydraulic & manual tools and to play a major role in preventing accidents and increasing safety.

Only technicians trained and competent in the use of bolt tightening equipment, who have completed a recognized competence assessment programmed, shall carry out the controlled breakout and tightening of bolted joints.

Technician shall be fully conversant with the safe use of the tools and their operating procedures

4. GENERAL GUIDELINES

4.1.

Flange S

ystem

Structurally, the bolts in a flange system can be considered as heavy springs clamping the rings together in order to maintain a gasket seal. The design for bolted flange connections considers the proportioning of the bolting, ie. the number and size of bolts, as one of the most important factors. In assembling flanged joints, the gasket shall be uniformly compressed to the proper design loading. Special care shall be used in assembling flanged joints in which flanges have widely differing mechanical properties.

The combination of temperatures and thermal expansion coefficients of the flanges and bolts during service may provide a leaking joint as a result of bolts loosening or creep.

4.2.

Flange Elements

The three elements of the system, i.e. gasket, bolting and flange rings, are equally important as any one can cause a failure i.e. leakage (for example):

a. Choose the wrong gasket and you may never be able to get a tight joint.

b. Over strength bolts on an incorrect tightening procedure could lead to excessive flange rotation and thus leakage. The under strength bolts can easily be yielded without seating the gasket.

c. An incorrectly proportioned flange ring can give excessive rotation which evens a change of gasket may not be able to accommodate.

5. METHOD

In general, the selection of the torquing device used to assemble a flanged joint as well as the method of control. The methods depend either on using torque to produce the bolt end load, or a stretching technique. The accuracy of the torquing techniques depend largely upon the operator's experience and are more susceptible to the quality of the stud and nut surfaces, and the degree of lubrication. They must be considered a labour saving device the area not enters reliable as mean of achieving even bolt tension. However, evenness of bolt load can be considered to be at least as good as that achieved with a spanner and hammer. Therefore only an experienced and qualified crew should be employed.

5.1.

Hand Wrench / Manual Torque Wrench .

Manual torque wrench which is normally rated to a maximum output of 300 Nm and has a

½” square drive. The wrench contains a mechanism that clicks when the r

equired torque

value is achieved. D O C U M E N T U M |0 9 /1 6 /1 3 |P a p e r C o p ie s A re U

(7)

The manual method bolt tightening using Manual torque wrench or torque wrench will be applied for bolt nominal diameter below 25mm (1 Inch).

5.2.

Hydraulic Torque Wrench / Bolt Tension

The Hydraulic torque wrench or Bolt tension equipment will be used for bolt with nominal diameter 25 mm (1 Inch) and over.

Hydraulic torque wrench with interchangeable square drive and hexagon cassettes which are normally powered by an air or electric operated pump unit up to a maximum operating pressure of 10000 psi.

For flange connections with bolting of nominal diameter 25 mm (1 inch) and over, tightening shall be using Torque Wrench or Bolt Tension. For sequence bolt tightening shall have sufficient clearance and access to allow the use of hydraulic torque wrench equipment.

6. CALIBRATION

The Torque wrench must be in good working order and have a calibration certificate valid for the date of the task. If the wrench has no valid certificate, it shall be re-calibrated or changed. If the wrench is dropped or knocked during process then verify the calibration before proceeding, and for hydraulic Torque Wrenches The pump must have a calibration certificate valid for the date of the task. If the pump has no valid certificate, it shall be re-calibrated or changed.

7. PERS

ONNEL

Only technicians trained and competent in the use of bolt tightening equipment, who have completed a recognized competence assessment programmed, shall carry out the controlled breakout and tightening of bolted joints.

8. TOOL FITTING OPERATION

8.1.

Manual Torque Wrench

1. Square drive tools only: check that the correct size impact socket has been selected and that it has a retaining ring and pin.

2. Check that the square drive is in the correct position for tightening operations. 3. Attach the impact socket and secure it with the retaining ring and pin.

D O C U M E N T U M |0 9 /1 6 /1 3 |P a p e r C o p ie s A

(8)

4. Spigot drive tools only: check that the correct size of open end or ring attachment has been selected for the relevant wrench and that it is fitted correctly.

5. Adjust torque setting for the wrench by turning the handle or nut at the end of the wrench clockwise to increase the spring tension, which will increase the torque value. Turning the handle counter clockwise will reduce the spring tension, which will reduce the torque output.

6. The torque value selected will be visible either on a graduated scale inside a window of the handle on smaller click type wrenches or a graduated scale on the end of larger break back wrenches.

7. Fit the wrench via the socket or spigot fitting to the application.

8. Position feet apart with one foot in front of the other.

9. Prepare body for sudden movement in case of ratchet or wrench slippage or back nut turning.

10. When using larger manual torque wrenches, assistance may be required to pull the wrench safely. If assistance is not available or the activity cannot be completed safely then the hydraulic torque tightening method should be used.

11. Pull the wrench clockwise towards the body using both hands, applying a steady force and constant load.

12. Continue tightening operations by pulling the wrench clockwise until maximum travel or the torque value is achieved by activating the click or linkage mechanism.

13. Repeat steps 7 to 12 for all bolts/nut to be tightened.

14. After use, reset the torque setting to zero prior to storing the wrench, this helps to maintain the calibration of the wrench.

Note:

o

Do not activate the wrench by pulling erratically

o

Backing spanners must be secured to prevent accidental release by being tied off or

other methods. Backing spanners also introduce pinch points.

o

When using larger manual torque wrenches assistance may be required to pull the

wrench safely.

8.2.

Hydraulic Torque Wrench

1. Ensure that the power console is full of hydraulic oil and, if an air power console is being used, that the air lubricator has sufficient oil in it

2. Make sure that all air and hydraulic couplings are clean and free from dirt.

3. Square drive tools only: check that the correct size impact socket has been selected and that it has a retaining ring and pin.

4. Check that the square drive is in the correct position for tightening operations.

D O C U M E N T U M |0 9 /1 6 /1 3 |P a p e r C o p ie s A re U

(9)

5.

A

ttach the impact socket and secure it with the retaining „O‟ ring and pin.

6. Position the reaction arm for the best angle and safe operation. Then engage the retaining device.

7. Hex head tools only: check that the correct size hex head has been selected for the relevant power head and that it is fitted correctly.

8. With the tool removed from the flange and safely positioned on the ground, connect the hydraulic hoses to the tool and the power console via the quick release fittings ensuring that all locking collars/thumbscrews are fully tightened.

9. Connect the pump to an air supply with whip checks and pins at all connections. Switch on air supply and check system for leaks.

10. The torque wrench is operated via a remote control pendant which is connected to the pump unit. To extend the actuator depress the actuator extend control button until the actuator makes a complete stroke then release to allow the actuator to return.

11. Ensure that the torque tool is removed from the flange. Then proceed to set the pump

to the required pressure for tightening by turning the „torque control valve‟ clockwise to

increase pressure or counter clockwise to decrease pressure while actuating the tool until the required pressure is displayed on the pump calibrated pressure gauge.

Note:

o Always remove the tool from the flange and place on a surface where reaction will not be possible when setting/altering the pump pressure or adjusting reaction points!

o

For two-man operation, ensure the communication procedure is clear and understood before proceeding.

12. Fit the tool onto the bolt via the nut, ensuring that correct and safe reaction is achieved.

Note:

Pinch points are present around all reaction areas and in tight spaces. Hands and fingers must be kept clear from pinch points at all times.

13. To tighten the nut, depress the actuator extend control button until the actuator makes a complete stroke then release to allow the actuator to return. Continue to stroke the actuator for further strokes until the required torque load and pump pressure is achieved and the nut is tight.

Note:

(10)

o If the back nut begins to move while tightening a backing spanner must be fitted to

the nut reacting off the next adjacent nut to prevent turning. Backing spanners must be secured to prevent accidental release by being tied off or other methods. Backing spanners also introduce pinch points.

8.3.

Hydraulic Bolt Tension

1. All flanges and bolts shall be prepared and preassemble prior to tensioning as specified as section 10.

2. The tension device must engage the threads on the stud bolt for a length equal to a minimum of 80% of the stud diameter.

3. On the application where several bolts are tensioned simultaneously, all tensioning equipment shall be connected to the same hydraulic pump.

4. When bolts need to be stressed near their yield point, torquing methods shall be considered since tensioning requires overtensioning to compensate for short term relaxation.

5. Stud bolt tensioner shall be used simultaneously in sets of four in the order indicated in figure 2 through figure 13,(e.g tensioners shall be attached to stud bolts 1 thru 4, tensioner, then moved to stud bolts 5 thru 8,etc) Sets of two may be used only on flanges with fours bolts.

6. Bolt tensioning often requires two different pressure settings. The first pass is generally performed at a pressure designed to overtension the bolts in order to account for bolt relaxation. Subsequent passes are conducted at a lower pressure, calculated to produce the required minimum residual bolt stress when the joint is tight. Additional passes should be performed at this lower pressure until the nuts remain tight when this pressure is applied to the tensioning equipment.

8.3.1. Tensioner Attachment (Vertical)

a. Center the stud bolt tensioner on the stud bolt. Lower the tensioner over the stud and nut assembly. Align the nut socket (on tensioner) with assembly nut by turning the drive gear. Lower the tensioner until the base rests squarely on the flange surface.

b. Thr

ead the puller bar onto the stud bolt until it “bottoms out” on the

tensioner piston

c. Back the puller bar off one quarter (1/4) turn.

d. Stud bolt tensioners shall not be pressurized until attachment procedure is complete for tensioners and extensiometer

D O C U M E N T U M |0 9 /1 6 /1 3 |P a p e r C o p ie s A re U

(11)

8.3.2. Tensioner Attachment (Horizontal)

a. Align the tensioner axially with the stud and nut assembly to prevent side stressing of the puller bar and the stud. Align the nut socket (on tensioner) with the assembly nut by turning the drive gear. Place the tensioner on the stud and nut assembly until the base rests squarely on the flange surface. b. Support weight of the tensioner by hand or slings. Do not force wedges for

support.

c.

Thread the puller bar onto the stud bolt until it “bottoms out” on the

tensioner piston.

d. Back the puller bar off one quarter (1/4) turn.

e. Stud bolt tensioners shall not be pressurized until the attachment procedure is complete for both tensioners and the extensiometer

9. ELONGATION MEAS

UREMENT

The amount of elongation of the stud required to achieve the desired tension in the stud is determined by using of the following formula:

D =

σ

LE / E

Where : D= Elongation of the stud in inches

σ =

Target Bolt stress

LE= Effective bolt length in inches E = Modulus of Elasticity

Figure 2 Bolt Tension Equipment

Horizontal Vertical D O C U M E N T U M |0 9 /1 6 /1 3 |P a p e r C o p ie s A

(12)

1. Determine the lengths L and H as shown in Figure 3

2. Calculate the effective bolt length, LE

LE = L + (Ft x H)

Where : Ft =2/3 when new bolts are used And Ft = 1 when old bolts are reused

3. Elongation is determined by measuring the length of the stud before and againt after the tensile load is applied to the studs.

4. A log of the measurements taken for the initial lengths and any subsequent elongations shall be recorded.

5. For the second to last torquing / tensioning setting , the elongations shall be checked to determine if the final torque or tension setting is appropriate. Adjustments to the final setting may required depending on the elongation measured.

6. The acceptance criteria for final elongation measurements shall be ± 15% of the targeted elongation, unless otherwise specified by company. If the average measured value is close to the targeted value but the scatter is not within the ± 15% limit, additional passes are required at the same load setting.

7. The project engineer / project coordinator and inspector shall sign of on the report flange joint records to show acceptance of the joint.

10. FLANGE FIT-UP AND BOLT PREPARATION

10.1.

Preparation for Bolt-up

1. Flange faces shall be thoroughly cleaned using a wire or power brush. All rust and burrs shall be completely removed. Particular attention shall be paid to the seating surfaces for metal gaskets such as the grooves in ring joint flanges.

2. Gasket surfaces on flange faces shall be thoroughly inspected. Any scratches or indications extending 50% of the width of the seating surface shall be removed by methods approved by the

Owner‟s Engineer. Nubbins on flange fa

ces shall be inspected and repaired, if necessary. The Inspector or designated representative shall accept or reject all flange surfaces in accordance with the above criteria

3. Bolts shall be checked for proper size, length, conformance to specifications, cleanliness, and absence of burrs. Bolting materials shall be in accordance with company specification. When using bolts that have been in service, all thread surfaces shall be cleaned using a wire or power brush. Bolts that are bent or have damaged threads shall not be re-used

4. The surface of the flanges where contact is made with the nuts shall be wire or power brushed.

5. Gaskets shall be checked for size, conformance to specification, and cleanliness. Metal gaskets shall have grease, rust, and burrs completely removed. All gaskets shall be fitted against each flange gasket seating surface to check alignment with the surface. 6. Spiral wound, metal jacketed or sheet gaskets shall not be reused. Ring Joint type

gaskets shall not be reused without the Owner‟s Engineer‟s approval.

7. Thread lubricants shall be suitable for the operating temperature of the system and

shall require the approval of the Owner‟s Engineer. Thread lubricants for bolting shall

not contain lead. Thread lubricants for austenitic bolting shall not contain chlorides.

Unless otherwise specified by the Owner‟s Engineer, one of the anti

-seize thread

compounds in shall be used.

8. Proper thread lubrication shall be applied to every friction surface of the bolt assembly. This includes the threads, and all bearing surfaces of the nut, washer and bolt head. Lubrication on the bolt threads shall be applied prior to putting the nuts on.

9. When ultrasonic elongation control is required, bolting shall have smooth and parallel ends to assure accurate measurements. In some cases, particularly small diameter bolting, stud bolt ends will need to be shop machined

10. Never draw up tight on one or two bolt only. This will cause local gasket crushing or pinching, which will result in leak. Always tighten up gradually, using th

e “criss

-

cross”

(14)

pattern. After each round of tightening, the alignment may be checked by measuring the distance between the flange faces.

10.2.

Pre-Assembly of Flanges

1. Only technicians trained and competent in the use of bolt tightening equipment, who have completed a recognized competence assessment program, shall carry out the controlled breakout and tightening of bolted joints

2. Two bolts shall be installed diametrically opposite each other, and one bolt half way between the previously installed bolts (for flanged joints in horizontal lines, on the underside) for retaining the gasket (e.g. bolts 2, 3 and 4 in Table 1). The nuts shall then be engaged.

3. The gasket shall be inserted, and centered between the flanges. Nuts shall be hand tightened to hold the gasket in place. When flanged joints are in horizontal lines, gaskets without centering devices such as ring joint gaskets shall be lowered to the bolts for retention and then raised into position.

4.

Specially for Installation of Gasket for flange over Ø 24”, ensu

re the centered Gasket

between the flanges raise face area shall be match.

5. Gaskets shall not be held in place with tape during flange alignment. A heavy grease or gasket cement can be used, if necessary.

6. Alignment tolerances for flange faces prior to bolt-up shall be in accordance with company specification. If these tolerances are not met, the Engineer or Inspector shall be consulted to determine the remedial actions required.

7. Check flange alignment, pipeworks flanges are often limited to a maximum out-of alignment of 0.75mm (0.03in).

8. The use of graphite tape or any other foreign material to hide gasket seating surface imperfections is strictly prohibited.

9. All flanged joints shall be snuggled up squarely so that the entire flange face bears uniformly on the gasket. Four pointing and eight pointing procedures are acceptable for the initial alignment of joints, provided torque values less than 1/3rd(a third) of the final torque value.

10. Measurements of the gap between flanges shall be taken around the circumference to assure that the flanges are being brought evenly together.

11. Heavy covers of horizontal equipment shall be provided with external supports and guides which shall be maintained until the joint is tightened.

D O C U M E N T U M |0 9 /1 6 /1 3 |P a p e r C o p ie s A re U

(15)

12. After the initial alignment has been completed, the remaining bolts and nuts shall be installed and hand tightened. All bolts shall extend completely through their nuts. At least three complete threads shall be visible from the backside of each nut. With the approval of Engineer, the three complete thread requirements can be waived but the bolt must be at least flush with the back side of the nut assuring full thread engagement. When tensioning will be used for final tightening of the joint, at least one bolt diameter of thread length shall extend through the nut on the side that the bolt tension will be used.

Note:

o

Never draw up tight on one or two bolts only. This will cause local gasket crushing

or pinching, which will result in leaks. Always tighten up gradually, using the "cr iss-cross" pattern. After each round of tightening, the alignment may be checked by measuring the distance between the flange faces.

11. FLANGE BOLT TIGHTENING S

EQUENCE

1. Confirm that Joint Integrity Certificate JI1 has been prepared for the job

2. Hand tighten the nuts first, ensuring that the correct face of the nut will seat squarely onto the flange surface

3. Measure the flange gap at a minimum of four points around the flange (larger flanges should be at eight points)

4. The bolt tightening sequence should begin at the point of the largest gap!

5. Mark the correct tightening sequence on the studs in a clockwise direction with chalk as per diagram (Reference ASME-PCC-1-2000).

o

Correct numbering of bolts should result in all odd numbered bolts around one

side of the flange and all even numbered bolts around the other side.

6. Second tightening stage should be limited to a maximum of 60% of the final torque setting.

7. Third tightening stage should be carried out at the 100% torque setting.

8. On the Fourth and Final tightening stage, change from criss-cross tightening to adjacent bolt-to-bolt tightening clockwise using the 100% torque setting and chase around flange until nuts finally stop rotating.

Note:

o

First, second and third stages should be tightened using the criss-cross tightening

sequence and the fourth stage should be tightened using the adjacent clockwise bolt to bolt sequence as shown in the diagrams above

9. Using a small hammer tap test each bolt to check the sound of the bolt rings true, dull or vibrating bolts should be retightened to the correct value.

10. Ensure that the work area is left in a safe and tidy condition and that the Permit to Work has been signed off.

11. Record all tightening information on the Joint Integrity Certificate JI1 part A. D O C U M E N T U M |0 9 /1 6 /1 3 |P a p e r C o p ie s A re U

b. Do not draw the joint up tight on one or two bolts, as this will cause local gasket crushing or pinching of the gasket.

c. Do not over tighten bolts; take particul

ar care with small bolts, i.e. less than 1”

diameter.

d. Never pull the manual torque wrench any further once the click or linkage has activated.

e. Never use a wrench that has been dropped or knocked without checking the calibration.

f. Never pressurize unconnected hydraulic couplings.

g. Never stand in line with the bolt axis when tools are pressurized.

h. Never hold hydraulic wrenches at their pinch/reaction points when energizing.

i. Do not draw the flange up tight on one or two bolts, as this will cause local gasket crushing or pinching of the gasket

Do’s and Don’ts

1.

Do’s

a. Ensure that you are fully conversant with the safe use of the tools and their operating procedures.

b. Check that the pressures stated are applicable for the tools being used and for the flange being tightened.

c. Make sure that the full thread engagement of puller has been achieved.

d. Hand-tighten the nuts first, ensuring that the correct face of the nut will seat squarely onto the flange surface.

e. Wear suitable PPE as stated within the Permit to Work.

2.

Don’ts

a. Never pressurize unconnected hydraulic couplings. b. Never tension damaged or corroded bolts.

c. Never stand in line with the bolt axis. D O C U M E N T U M |0 9 /1 6 /1 3 |P a p e r C o p ie s A re U
