6.0 DETAIL PROCEDURE FOR PIPELINE CLEANNING, FILLING, HYDROTESTING, DEWATERING WORKS
6.1 Pre-Test Preparation Works
6.1.1 Fabricated all temporary spool, water filling line, test blind, and others related accessories needed for water filling, testing, dewatering. All drawings for for temporary line will submit to Client for approval.
6.1.2 Check and verify the completeness of NDE for pipeline weld joint to assure that all field joint had been Radiography Tested and accepted before the test. 6.1.3 Check the completeness of field Wrapping inspection or Holiday test
completed with Test Report.
6.1.4 Prepare all equipment and device for testing to assure all equipments and devices have up-date certification and calibration.
6.1.5 Prepare all other materials and devices such as test gaskets, vent and drain valves and water hose for filling and draining.
6.1.6 After satisfactory cleaning the pipeline will fill the water for hydrostatic testing. Provide shelter at the test start and end point to ensuring that the test heads & test devices are protected from direct exposure to sun ray.
6.1.7 Install barricades, signboards and warning tags at test start and end points. 6.2 Water Filling
6.2.1 Install and set-up water filling line and equipment as shown in Attachement 08 B.
Pressure gauge should be placed on STA 0+000 and STA 1+293.
6.2.2 Fill water from 1+293 (road to Sorowako) and close drain at STA 1+293 (road to Sorowako)
6.2.3 Open vent valve in STA 0+000 (road to Malili)
6.2.4 After water comes out through from vent valve at STA 0+000 (makesure no air trap), vent valves in STA 0+000 shall be closed before shutting off the fill pump.
6.2.5 If that much air is allowed to enter the pipe, re-start the filling pump until water comes out through vent valves.
6.3 Pressurization, Pressure Testing and Holding Time
6.3.1 Open all valves in pressure injection line and start the pressure pump. When water comes out through the bleed valve, re-set water meter to zero (0). Open the injection line to start pressurization.
6.3.2 Record the ambient temperature.
6.3.3 Raise the pressure up to 25% of test pressure then shut off the pump and close the valve in injection line. Hold for 30 minutes to allow some degree of pressure and temperature stability, and also check for leaks on all above ground connection. Eliminate if any leaks at flange and treaded connections. If no leakage detected, raise the pressure up to 50% of test pressure. Hold for 30 minutes & check again.
6.3.4 After the hold period, re-start the pressure pump and continue pumping up to 90% of pressure test. Hold for 30 minutes to allow the pressure and temperature fully stabilize.
6.3.5 Check for leaks at all above ground connections.
6.3.6 Note and record every 30 minutes reading of ambient temperature, water temperature and line pressure both at STA 0+000 (road to malili) and STA 1+293 (road to sorowako) end of test section.
6.3.7 If needed, water to be added to achieve stability at 90% at test pressure. 6.3.8 After the hold period, when pressure and temperature in the line have
stabilized, re-start the pressure pump and gradually increase the pressure up to test pressure (Plus 1%, Minus 0%). Pumping shall stop when the test pressure have been reached.
6.3.9 After a hold period of 6 hours will start pressure have stabilized. Holding time period 4 hours, with the first of 2 hours the pressure is stable, no pressure drop then it will continue for another 4 hours for total 6 hours. If any leaks that cause pressure drop, re-test may require for another 6 hours. If any leak detected on welding joint or pipe material, pressure shall be refused for repair work and test shall be carried out from the first step. (mention part 6.4.1)
6.3.10 Variations in pressure reading shall be justified in accordance with Project Specification.
6.3.11 Pressure drop during test shall be limited to and proportional to any drop in temperature of the test water during holding time period or presence of visible leaks on above ground connection where in any effort in tightening cold not eliminate such leak.
6.3.12 Uncountable loss in pressure points to presence of leak in the pipeline and if this condition is encountered, the leak shall be located and when found test shall be aborted.
6.3.13 Test is successfully completed when pressure holds for 6 (six) hours achieved.
6.4 Dewatering and Drying.
6.5.2 After the test is completed and accepted by Client/Owner/third Party Inspector, the pressure will be relieved through dedicated vent valve. It is
not allowed to bleed the pressure off at very fast rate as this might cause the pipeline to callapse. Safe rate suggested is 2~3 psi per second is to be carried out.
6.4.1 The test equipment, pressure injection and measuring devices shall be disconnected.
6.4.2 Inject the Compressed air and gradually increase the pressure up to 450 psig.
6.4.3 Continue run compressore to ensure that the line is dry. Completion of dewatering operation will be determined when no significant water out. 6.4.4 When pipeline dewatering is deemed acceptable, dismantled the temporary
connection.
7.0 INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE, DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS
7.1 The testing, dewatering and drying works shall be witnessed, inspected and accepted by PT. DGI, KHEPP, third party representative.
7.2 Purpose for certification, Third Party Representatives shall witness the pressure testing from start until successful completion and sign the test record.
7.3 The following documents and records will be prepared by PT. DGI for review and signed by all inspecting and accepting parties.
7.3.1 Calibration certificates of Pressure test gauge.
7.3.2 Using the “As-built” Survey, the maximum, minimum and end elevation of each line test section shall be determined in order to calculate the hydrostatic head pressure.
7.3.3 Acceptance criteria for test shown on Diagram – Pressurization, Holding period and De-pessurization.
7.3.4 Record of water volume added or subtracted to stabilized pressure during hold period and at the end of testing including the calculation to justify variations. 7.3.5 Temperature and pressure readings at start of test, during hold period and at
end of test including calculations to justify variations. 7.3.6 Pressure test certificate for the successfully completed test. 7.3.7 Pipeline dewatering inspection and acceptance report.
7.3.8 Sample blank forms of inspection, monitoring and acceptance report are presented in – Attachment 10.
7.4 Sign off the documents shall be completed and copies submitted to all involved parties. The original documents shall be submitted to pipeline certification Company to use in obtaining Third Party Certificate for use the pipeline.

REFER TO ASME 31.4 PARAGRAPH 437.4.1 FORMULAS FOR DETERMINE HYDROSTATIC TESTING PRESSURE AND HOLDING TIMES.
Hoop Stress at Highest Test Point (SH = Hoop Stress) > 0.2 x SMYS SH = PD/2T
Where ; P = Allowable Operating Pressure (refer to ASME 31.4 paragraph 401.2.2)
D = Diameter Pipe
T = Pipe Wall Thickness
Calculation Hydrostatic Testing of Internal Pressure
• Hoop Stress test pressure (highest point of pipeline) Allowable stress at test pressure :
SH = Hoop Stress < 0.2 x SMYS
SH = PD / 2T Where : P = 2000 psi D = 12“ T = 0,344” SMYS = 52000 psi (12”)(2000 psi) > 0,2 x 52000 2(0.344”) 34883.72 psi > 10400 psi
From above calculation:
Accordance with ASME 31.4-2002 paragraph 437.4.1, pipeline shallbe subjected at any point to ahydrostatic test equivalent to not less than 1.25 times allowable design pressure for not less than 4 hours
