MEC/S/05/62/03 REVISION A<br />

- Calliper pigs with gauge plate diameter equal to 95% <strong>of</strong> the heavy wall<br />

pipe in the pipe sections. Gauging pig fitted with gauge plate.<br />

The CONTRACTOR shall provide sufficient number <strong>of</strong> pigs including spares.<br />

b) Fill pumps : The CONTRACTOR shall determine the type and number <strong>of</strong> fill<br />

pumps in order to guarantee the following :<br />

Differential head 20% greater than the maximum required.<br />

Flow rate : 400m3 min. ; 1000m3 max.<br />

If a single pump is used, a standby unit must be available.<br />

c) Variable speed positive displacement pumps equipped with a stroke counter to<br />

pressurise the line with a known stroke and capable <strong>of</strong> exceeding the maximum<br />

test pressure by at least 20 bar.<br />

d) Two positive displacement meters to measure the volume <strong>of</strong> water used for<br />

filling the line. These meters shall be provided with a callibration certificate not<br />

older than one month.<br />

e) Portable tanks <strong>of</strong> sufficient size to provide a continuous supply <strong>of</strong> water to the<br />

pump during pressurizing.<br />

f) Bourdon pressure gauges <strong>of</strong> suitable pressure range and accuracy.<br />

g) Dead weight testers with an accuracy <strong>of</strong> 0.01 bar measuring in increments <strong>of</strong><br />

0.05 bar provided with a calibration certificate not older than one month.<br />

h) Two 48 hours recording pressure gauges tested with charts and ink gauges<br />

tested with dead weight tester prior to use. These shall be installed atp the test<br />

heads.<br />

i) Pressure recording charts.<br />

j) Two temperature recorders for fill water.<br />

k) Thermocouples for measuring the pipe wall temperature.<br />

l) Two laboratory thermometers 0°C to 60°C range, accuracy ± 0.1 degree to be<br />

used in thermowells.<br />
