SECTION 033000 - CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE

Sludge Treatment Project Engineered Container Retrieval and Transfer System January 2012
L. Follow the recommendations in ASME PCC-1-2010 for flange fit-up, bolt torques and bolt torque
sequence.
M. Make joints in threaded piping systems with joint lubricant specified. Apply lubricant to male
threads only.
N. Install piping to permit valve servicing.
O. Install piping free of sags and bends.
P. Install fittings for changes in direction and branch connections.
Q. Once fabrication has started, plug or cap ends of piping when installation is not in progress. Cap
or plug openings in fabricated pipe spool assemblies until installation in piping system.
R. Pressure-Leak test Normal Service Category piping system in accordance with ASME B31.3
Process Piping Code, paragraph 345 and sub-section 3.8.C of this section.
S. Pressure-Leak test High Pressure Service Category piping system in accordance with ASME
B31.3 Process Piping Code, paragraph K345 and sub-section 3.8.C of this section.
T. Sleeve and caulk pipes penetrating facility walls. Provide UL/FM approved through-penetration
firestop system when penetrating fire- rated barriers (i.e., walls, floors, etc.).
3.3 COLD BENDING OF PIPE OR TUBE
A. Fabricate pipe or tube bends in accordance with TPA-CBS-98.
B. Fabricator shall submit a detailed procedure for bending, specifying method used, inspection,
wall thickness measurement, and documentation.
C. The pipe or tube material to be cold bent shall comply with the specific piping class requirements.
For production bending, the fabricator may select the next higher schedule to offset anticipated
thinning as approved by the Buyer. Bending is restricted to bends having a minimum center-line
bend radius of 3 times the pipe nominal outside diameter.
D. Lubricants used for bending operations must be free of halogens, sulfur, and low-melting-point
metals.
E. Qualification Testing
1. Before any production bending is done, the following bend qualification testing shall be
done by the Fabricator as required by Purchase Order.
2. Stainless Steel — Following cold bending, samples shall be taken from Intrado and Extrado
for Stress-Corrosion Testing in accordance with ASTM G 123.
