SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HYDROGEN SERVICE

1.0 GENERAL

These requirements are applicable in addition to the requirements specified in the

Piping Material Specifications.

2.0 PIPES, FLANGES AND FITTINGS

2.1 Method of Manufacture

or used, except in the limited way permitted by a written consent given by the lender to the borrower for the intended use. EIL 1641-507. A4-210x297.

2.1.1 All carbon steel pipes, fittings and flanges having wall thickness 9.53
mm and above shall be normalised. Cold drawn pipes and fittings shall
be normalised after the final cold draw pass for all thicknesses. In
addition, fittings made from forgings shall have Carbon - 0.35% max.
and Silicon - 0.35% max. The normalising heat treatment shall be a
separate heating operation and not a part of the hot forming operation.

2.1.2 All alloy steel (Cr-Mo) pipes, forgings and fittings shall be normalised
and tempered. The normalising and tempering shall be a separate
heating operation and not a part of the hot forming operation. The
maximum room temperature tensile strength shall be 100,000 psi.

2.2 Post Weld Heat Treatment

2.2.1 All carbon steel pipes and fittings having wall thickness 19 mm and
above shall be post weld heat treated.

2.2.2 All alloy steel (Cr-Mo) pipes and fittings shall be post weld heat treated
irrespective of type or thickness of weld.

2.2.3 All austenitic stainless steel grades shall be solution annealed after
welding. 100% radiography of welded joints shall be done both before
and after PWHT.

2.3 Ferrite No. Test

2.3.1 For all austenitic stainless steels, the weld deposit shall be checked for
ferrite content. A Ferrite No. (FN) not less than 3% and not more than
10% is required to avoid sigma phase embrittlement during heat
treatment. FN shall be determined by Ferritescope or may be calculated
by using the schaffler or DeLong diagrams (DeLong diagram should be
used if FCAW is performed), prior to post weld heat treatment.

2.4 Impact Test

2.4.1 For all carbon steels and alloy steels pipes, flanges and fittings with
thickness over 19 mm, Charpy-V Notch impact testing shall be carried
out in accordance with paragraph UG-84 of ASME Section VIII, Div-1
for weld metal and base metal from the thickest item per heat of
material and per heat treating batch. Impact test specimen shall be in
complete heat treated condition and in accordance with ASTM A370.
Impact energies at 0EC shall average greater than 27J (20 ft-lb) per set
of 3 specimens, with a minimum of 19J (15 ft-lb).

2.4.2 If welding is used in manufacture, impact test of Heat Affected Zone

(HAZ) and weld metal shall also be carried out.
or used, except in the limited way permitted by a written consent given by the lender to the borrower for the intended use. EIL 1641-507. A4-210x297.

2.5 Hardness

2.5.1 For carbon steel pipes and fittings, hardness of weld and HAZ shall be
limited to 200 BHN (max.).

2.5.2 For alloy steel pipes and fittings, hardness of weld and HAZ shall be
limited to 225 BHN (max.).

2.6 Radiography

2.6.1 All girth welded joints (longitudinal and circumferential) shall be 100%
radiographed in accordance with UW-51 of ASME Section VIII, Div-1
and ASME Section V. Radiography shall be performed after post weld
heat treatment.

3.0 VALVES

3.1 All valve castings shall be of radiographic quality. The requirement of radiography
shall be as per Technical Notes for Valves and Valve Material Specifications.

3.2 All cast valve flanges & bodies with flange rating of Class 900 or greater shall be
examined in accordance with paragraphs 7.2 through 7.5 of Appendix-7 of ASME
SEC-VIII, DIV.1, regardless of casting quality factor.

3.3 Only Normalized and Tempered material shall be used in the following specifications:

Castings : A217Gr.WC1, A217Gr.WC4, A21Gr.WC5,

A217Gr.WC6, A217 Gr.WC9, A217 Gr.C5, A217 Gr.C12

Forgings : A182 Gr.F11 Cl.2, A182 Gr.F22 Cl.3, A182 Gr.F5, A182
Gr.F9

3.4 Body / bonnet / cover joints & stuffing box of all valves shall have low emission and
shall be helium leak tested as per ASME Sec.V, Subsection A, Article 10 (Detector
Probe Technique), Appendix IV at a minimum of 25% of the allowable (rated) cold
working pressure. Sampling for helium leak test shall be one valve selected at
random per item no.of the requisition. The failure of helium leak test shall call for
testing of remaining valves of that item at vendor’s cost. Test duration shall be as
follows :
Test Duration in Minutes
Pressure Class
Nominal Size
Upto 300 600 800 & 900 1500 2500
Upto 2" 3 6 9 12 12
or used, except in the limited way permitted by a written consent given by the lender to the borrower for the intended use. EIL 1641-507. A4-210x297.

8" to 16" 9 9 12 15 18
18" to 24" 9 12 15 18 21
The valve shall show no leakage. No leakage is defined as a total leakage rate of less
than 0.0001 ml/s of helium.

3.5 CS & AS Valves :

3.5.1 Bend test and Magnetic Particle inspection of the entire surface of body
and bonnet casting shall be in accordance with ASTM A217.

before repair starts. Repair method to be approved prior to welding.

3.5.4 Casting shall be preheated to a minimum of 400EF prior to welding and

all Chromium-Molybdenum alloys shall be postweld heat treated after
welding is complete. Stress relieving is essential for welds.

3.5.5 Carbon steel shall be normalised and alloy steels shall be normalised &
tempered.

3.5.6 Dye Penetrant test of welds shall be in accordance with ASTM B165
Procedure B-2. Interpretation as per Appendix-8 of ASME-VIII Div.1.
