Flarweld, Buttweld, Socketweld and NPT access fitting to the wall of pipe or vessel. See

fig 1.

CAUTION

READ THIS DOCUM ENT COM PLETELY BEFORE COM M ENCING

THE W ORK

This procedure is operating m anual for proper operate this

product only, The operator m ust be oblique the national safety

procedure as a com m on and or other local or com pany regulation

as w ell. S om ething in doubt asking G loazure.

All instruction in this procedure does not cover any installation

procedure.

1. Proper installation and preparation for best protection the fitting

a) Orientation of the Fitting

1) Set the fitting on vertical position with the top (ACM E thread end) up. Other axial

orientations m ay be specified for the location, consult the project docum entation

before installation. Ensure that there will be adequate clearance above the fitting to

operate the retriever, as follows:

Pipe size from 2” – 12”

Pipe size from 24” – 36”

8’ (2.4 m ) clearance above the top of

fitting. *

B. W elding of G loazure’s Access Fitting

a. S afety Considerations

Every welding process m ust be control by supervisor, who will responsible to any

tasks as follows:

1.

Determ ine contents of the system . Hot work on lines or vessels containing

corrosive or toxic m aterials should be given special consideration. Certain

m aterials m ay cause m etallurgical or chem ical changes in the heat zone.

Exam ple, carbon steel is changed m etallurgically at elevated tem peratures in the

presence of caustic or elem ental sulfur. W elding should never be perform ed on

equipm ent which is operating above its rated working pressure and tem perature,


2

G LOAZURE.Co.,Ltd.

nor on equipm ent which is operating at less than atm ospheric pressure; such as,

in a vacuum .

2. Determ ine if air is present , especially com bination of vapors in equipm ent. The

oxygen content should be, and should rem ain at a level, which precludes the

form ation of a flam m ables m ixture. Heating com pressed air lines or vessels m ay

cause detonation. Exam ple, if lubricating oil has been vaporized and distributed

throughout the system by a com pressor. Pipeline or vessels subject to this

possibility usually can be rem oved or isolated from service and purged prior to

hot work.

3. Determ ine if the equipm ent is m etallurgically suitable for w elding . Exam ple,

hydrogen em brittlem ent or attack would m ake it im possible to com plete the weld.

Som e steels and thickness require stress relieving, special treatm ent is required

for high tensile alloy steels and special welding rods m ust be used.

4. Determ ine conditions , under which welding m ay be done and establish a safe

procedure. The job should be inspected by individual responsible for authoring

the welding operations. Before granting authorization to proceed, the responsible

supervisor should indicate definite safety precautions to be followed. A test of the

hot work area for flamm ables gas presence m ay be desirable or required. An

inspection of the parent m etal is a necessity.

5. Observe the operation , to m ake sure the foregoing conditions are followed

during perform ance of the job operation.

6. If hot tapping , determ ine the capabilities of the hot tapping m achine. Hot tapping

tools are limited to use within their pressure and tem perature ratings.

b. Prelim inary Job Considerations

In additions to safety considerations under which welding or hot tapping is to be

done, the responsible supervisor in charge m ust be:

1. Ensure the correct equipm ent or line has been selected to be welded or hot

tapped.

2. Obtain the necessary clearance or approvals.

3. Provide either a suitable fire extinguis her (dry chem ical) and/or a pressurized fire

hose.

4. Determ ine by visual inspection, ham m er testing, ultrasonic thickness m easuring

devices, radiography (X -ray), or other approved thickness m easuring devices

that the equipm ent to be welded or hot tapping is sufficient for strength and

thickness to receive the connection, a wall thickness is define by actual pressure

and corrosion allowance of pipe m aterial. Previous inspection records and data

on corrosion rates will be useful in making this determ ination.

5. Determ ine if preheating is required. Studies have indicated that m ost steels

should be preheated prior to welding (stainless steels with due to m oderate heat)

o o when the fluid or m etal tem perature is less than 50 F (10 C).

6. Determ ine the proper fitting for use in m aking the connection.G loazure

recom m ended use a Flarweld or Buttweld. Cause they only require only one

weld, thus reducing the changes of distortion and warpage. Also m ore efficient in

tim e and m oney.

7. Design the connection, according to the proper code ASM E Boiler and Pressure

Vessel Code or API Standard 650, W elded Steel Tanks for oil storage.

c. Protection Access Fitting during W elding

1. The G loazure plug m ust be rem oved from the fitting during welding and

stress relieving operations. The body m ust be inspected to ensure that there has

been no dam age to the external Acm e thread, the upper shoulder and lip of the

fitting, the internal thread or internal seal shoulder during its shipm ent. If dam age

is found the fitting m ust be replaced.

2. The external Acm e thread and upper shoulder of the fitting m ust be protected

from weld spatter during welding. W rap heat resistance cloth around the external

Acm e thread and stuff the bore of the fitting with a retrievable wad of heat

resistant m aterial to a point just below the internal seat. This is to prevent weld

spatter onto thread and seal areas.

3. The internal thread and internal bore below and the internal shoulder m ust be

protected from weld spatter during welding.

4. The welding procedure should be designed so that the upper portion of the fitting

tem perature does not exceed 1000 oF (540 o C) during welding. Higher

tem peratures encountered during stress relieving are acceptable.

Notice

W elding procedures are the final responsibility of the

user’s engineering authority and m ust be approved prior

to use.

d. W elding Process

1. Select welding rods appropriate to the fitting and line m aterial.

2. W eld G ap, G loazure Access Fitting body or connecting fitting m ust be

raised off the surface of the pipe or vessel wall to establish a proper weld gap.

This can be done by placing four (4 ea) 1/16” (1.6 m m ) spacers or rods under the

fitting to provide the proper gap between the curvature of the pipeline or surface

of the pressure vessel wall and root or base of the fitting. Norm al weld gap is

1/16” (1.6 m m ) per ANSI B31.1. 1973.

3. Arc welding should be used if at all possible for all grades and types of steel.

Because this will m inim ize warpage and distortion of the Access Fitting body

cause of its localization of concentrated heat. Care should be exercised so that

the body is properly positioned to prevent m isalignm ent of the hot tapping tool is

used at a right angle or perpendicular to the work area. Also, avoid excessive

arcing because arc spots on the body can cause stress and consequently body

warpage while cooling. Recom m ended procedures for welding and special hole

cutting considerations for various m etals as follow:


4

G loazure.co., ltd.

a. Carbon S teel

o

o

1) Tack W eld . Preheat the fitting to 600 F (315 C). Tack welds the fitting to

the line between the spacers using 3 m m (1/8”) welding rods. Rem ove the

spacers and weld slag from the tack welds.

2) Stringer Bead . Apply a stringer bead com pletely around the base of the

fitting using 3 m m (1/8”) diam eter rod for 3 m m m axim um layer. Rem ove

weld slag.

3) Cover Beads . Apply continuous cover beads to fill the bevel and provide a

sm ooth tapered weld.

b. Stainless S teel

Do not preheat!, otherwise; use the sam e procedure as shown for carbon

steel with the following considerations:

1) In the hole cutting procedure, a hollow drill or drill bit should be used to cut

sm all size openings. Abrasive cutting wheels are generally used to m ake

larger sized holes.

2) Arc cutting or injections of iron powder into an acetylene flam e are other

m ethods used. If however, any of these flam e or arc m ethod are used, the

hole should be cut under size ¼” (6.5 m m ) on the diam eter to allow for

rem oving the heat affected areas by grinding before welding.

3) Either the heli-arc (electric arc) or m etallic (TIG and M IG ) m ethods m ay be

use for welding. The sequence of welding passes for both alloy and

stainless is the sam e as outlined for carbon steel.

e. Post W elding Inspection

After welding the following procedures m ust be followed:

1. The post-heat and cooling period m ust be in accordance with relevant welding

procedures and engineering standards.

CAUTION

Do not install a solid or hollow plug into access fitting if the

fitting still hot. It cause prim ary packing and o-ring m elting,

cause stacking onto its internal surface.

2. Inspect the external ACM E thread to ensure it is free from weld spatter. If there is

any weld spatter it m ust be carefully rem oved by chipping and filing.

3. Inspect internal (UNF) thread, internal bore above seat and internal seat to

ensure it is free from weld spatter. If there is any weld spatter it is recom m ended

to use a thread tap assem bly to repair/clean the threads or use a seat ream er for

ream ing the bore and seat.

4. Inspect the internal bore of the body below the seat, the interior surface of the

weld area and the internal surface of the hole through the pipe or vessel wall.

These surfaces shall be ground or ream ed as necessary to ensure a full ID of

1.377” (35.00 m m ). Care m ust be taken to elim inate any dam age to the internal

thread, bore and shoulder during grinding operations.


5

GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd.

5. A hydrostatic test m ust be carried out. (Norm ally 1-1/2 tim e line pressure)

6. On com pletion of the inspection and after any subsequent stress relieving a

G LO AZ U RE plug assem bly m ust be screwed into the access fitting and fully

seated. The plug m ust be capable of insertion and full seating so that the top

shoulder of plug (below the hex nut) is flush with top lip of the fitting (15 turns

(360 o ) of plug), If the plug is tight, the fitting m ay have been distorted during the

welding process and the internal threads m ust be chased with the correct thread

chaser. After chasing, if the plug still cannot be inserted easily, the fitting m ust be

blanked – off and a new access fitting point installed at another point.

f. G eneral

1. W hen the installation has been com pleted and a hollow plug is to be installed,

the probe or bore-sealing nut provides the pressure barrier. The use of a

stainless steel ½” NPT plug is not recom m ended.

2. To determ ine the condition of the access fitting, periodic inspection m ust be

perform ed. W hen under pressure, Ultra-Sonic and X-ray testing can be used. If

shut down is possible, caliper can be used. If, after inspection it is considered

that the access fitting m ust be blanked – off and a new access point installed at

another point.

C. Access Fitting M aintenance

The interval tim e m aintenance of Access Fitting is the sam e tim e of scheduling tim e for

rem ove – replace corrosion m onitoring devices. Base on NACE RP 0775-99. 3.5 for

exposure tim e have been classified into Short term (1-45 days) and Long term (1-90

days). Access m aintenance consists of:

1.

Cleaning and repair internal threads (UNF) by using a Thread Tap Assem bly

(refer to section III. 3.6 Special Procedures for Access Fitting).

2.

Cleaning internal threads (UNF) by using a thread brush (refer to section III. 3.6

Special Procedures for Access Fitting)

3.

Grease external thread (ACM E)

4.

Check access fitting face up end (O-ring seat Protective cover) for scratch, use a

sm ooth s and paper and bastard to repair.

recom m ended while handling coupons.

Exposure Tim e

Exposure tim e m ust be considered when interpreting corrosion coupon data.

Short-term exposure (15 to 45 days) provides quick answer but m ay give

higher corrosion rate than long-term exposures. Aggravating conditions, such

as bacterial fouling, m ay take tim e to develop on the coupon. Short exposure

tim es m ay be advantageous when evaluating inhibitor effectiveness. Longer

exposures (60 to 90 days) are often required to detect and define pitting attack.

Because exposure tim e affects test results, exposure periods should be as

consistent as practical. Tolerance of 7% allows a variation of 2 days on 30

days exposure. This is satisfactory for m ost applications.

IV. Storage Maintenance

o

o

Corrosion coupon should be storage in a clean, dry and warm (25 C – 32 C m ax)

area. The coupon storage area should not be placed in that could increase

hum idity. Norm al life tim e for coupon after shipm ent date is approx. 1 year, for best

result after 1 year storage coupon should be blasting.

Operation

3.1

Preparation

Note :

- Ensure by-pass service valve / ball (12) in “OPEN” position.

- Ensure bleed valve retriever (6A) and service valve (22) in “CLOSE” position.

a. Check condition of service valve .

Inspect the O-ring (18) at the ham m er nut end (2) for nicks, cuts and abrading

b. Check condition of retriever .

Rotate the retriever handwheel (11) clockwise and counterclockwise to ensure

it’s lubricated and operating properly; check all the thread connection parts & Oring especially O-ring (37) at thread adapter for nicks, cuts and abrading.

c. Check pressure in pressure gauge on protective cover .

Note : If there’s any indication pressure, release by opening bleed valve in

protective cover.

3.2

Rem oving Procedure

1. Rem ove the access fitting cover (protective cover) by using a spanner

wrench (“C” pin wrench).

2. Rem ove the pipe plug ½” NPT (1). Use a crescent wrench to rem ove pipe plug

slightly counterclockwise.

W arning

: If for any reason there’s pressure behind the plug, after one or

tw o m inutes has not been bleed – off. Loosen the steel pipe

plug 1/8 turn m ore. If pressure bleeds – off, rem ove the pipe

plug; if it has not re – tighten the plug and follow ing the

procedure of overshoot adapter.

3. Connect the service valve to the fitting . Lift the service valve and place it on

the access fitting body. Turn the ham m er nut (20) clockwise until the service

valve is securely seated. Tap the ham m er nut (20) tight using a brass ham m er.

The valve should be in full “OPEN” position.

4. The retrieval tool handwheel (11) should be at its stop in the full, run-out position,

secured there by the lock-pin (10) placed in one of the lock holes on the inner

diam eter of the handwheel.

5. Install the retrieval tool on the open service valve. CAUTION : See chapter 3.2 .13

for system s greater than 2000 psi.

6. W ith one hand on the retrieval tool handwheel, use the other to rem ove the

handwheel lock-pin (10) and placed it in its keeper (storage) hole.


10

GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd.

7. Slowly rotate the handwheel (11) clockwise to m ove the spring (B5) loaded

socket adaptor (1B) to the plug. Slowly turn the T-bar handle (28) clockwise until

it com es in contact with the solid plug assem bly. Turn the T-bar (28) handle 3-5

turns to engage the landing screw (B1) in the plug. Check for engagem ent by

attem pting to rotate the handwheel (11) counterclockwise. The handwheel (11)

should not rotate. If it does rotate, repeat the start of this step. W ith slight

clockwise pressure on the handwheel (11) turn the T-bar handle (28) in the

clockwise direction until the spring (B5) loaded socket seats on the solid plug.

W ith continued pressure on the handwheel (11), turn the T-bar handle (28) in the

counterclockwise direction 2-5 turns.

Note: You should notice system pressure equalizing past the plug assem bly into

the retrieval tool body after approxim ately two (2) turns of the T-bar

handle (28).

CAUTION : Do not rotate the T-bar handle (28) m ore than five (5) tim es without

equalization occurring. If pressure does not equalize, you m ust have the tool

back pressured to equal or to slightly exceed system pressure to successfully

accom plish plug retrieval. Equalization m ay be verified by checking the pressure

gage on the retrieval tool. As you rotate the T-bar handle (28), you will notice the

handwheel (11) is rotating in the run-out direction.

8. W hen the handwheel (11) stops rotating, the plug assem bly has reached the end

of its threads (approxim ately 15-16 turns). Rotate (run-out) the handwheel (11) to

its stop to retrieve the plug into the tool body.

9. Lock the handwheel (11) in the full run-out position to prevent possible dam age

to the service valve or plugs should it gravitate downward.

10. Close the service valve / ball (12).

11. The retrieval tool m ay now be bleed down to atm ospheric pressure. (See 3.2.14

for venting hazardous products). In liquid service, a bleed hose m ay be

connected from the tool to a container to catch the drain product. Open the

retrieval tool bleed valve(s) (6A). Leave the bleed valve(s) (6A) open. Check the

retrieval tool pressure gage (6) for zero reading.

Note: If a bleed hose is connected to the auxiliary bleed valve (6A), be certain

personnel at the discharge end are aware of the bleed-off. W hen the tools

is being used in liquid service, a splash pan or container having

approxim ately two (2) gallons (16 inch tool) capacity should be used to

contain the liquid which will drain from the tool during bleed-off.

Approxim ately ½ cup of liquid will rem ain in the tool below the bleed valve

after bleed-off. A splash pan will contain this residual product.

12. M anipulate the plug assem bly out of the tool body for service or inspection.

13. W here the retrieval tool is being operated on system over 2000 psi, it is

recom m ended the operator back pressure the tool to equal system pressure after

installing the tool on the service valve, (see back pressure Procedure below).

Since the pressure differential across the plug is decrease, thread life in the

plug/fitting assem blies is prolonged. Torsional requirem ents on the spline rack

(32) are also reduced and the plug will be m ore easily rem oved.

GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd.

Back Pressure Procedure

1. To back pressure the retriever, attach the ¼” fem ale quick connect to the

retriever bleed valve (6A). Either retriever bleed valve m ay be used.

Suggestion: Attach the back pressure pum p hose to whichever retriever

bleed valve (6A) (quick connect) is lower so that the upper retriever bleed

valve (6A) m ay be used to bleed off air as the retriever is filled.

2. Connect the back pressure pum p hose fem ale quick connect to the m ale

quick connect.

3. Open the retriever bleed valve (6A) and pressurize the retriever to the system

pressure. Operate the back pressure pum p in accordance with the Enerpac

tech m anual or other pum p brand m anual.

Note: The back pressure pum p reservoir m ay need to be filled several tim es to

com pletely fill the retriever.

4. Pressurize the retriever to slightly less than system pressure. Shut the

retriever bleed valve, depressurize the back pressure pum p, and rem ove the

pum p from the retriever.

5. Return to step 6.

14. An optional diverter hose assem bly is recom m ended when bleeding off retriever

pressure; fluids can be collected in a container or diverter to a safe area away

IV.

M aintenance

4.1

Retriever TKS RP

The m aintenance interval required by either the TKS RP retriever will vary depending

upon the service to which it is subjected. Certain fluids will wash out all lubricant from

the retriever after one retrieval; others will deposit debris in the retriever m aking

operation difficult.

If the retriever has been in use and it is anticipated not being used for a period longer

than one day, it should be com pletely disassem bled, cleaned and lubricated. Also, if

in a days operation (because of adverse retrieval environm ent conditions) the

retriever becom es difficult to operate, feels gritty and does not rotate easily

(handwheel), it should first be cleaned and lubricating without disassem bly does not

relieve the difficulties in the retriever operation, it should be com pletely

disassem bled, cleaned and lubricated as indicated in either point A and B of this

Section.

Lubricant choices are m any. For a particular service, som e experim entation m ay be

necessary. Recom m ended lubricants are:

1. M otor Oil – (SAE 30 weight or equivalent).

2. Lubricate (m ulti-purpose) – A lithium base grease; usually the best choice for

m ost service since it is thin and applies easily. Use for service tem peratures of 0 o

o o o to +350 F (-18 to +177 C).

3. Synthetic lubricant – m olybdenum disulfide grease containing rust and oxidation

inhibitors. It is recom m ended for use in extrem e pressures and tem peratures (40 o to +600 o F, -40 o to +316 o C).
