FABRICATION
6.1
General
Sections of monel sheathing shall be installed on steel pipe so that only the
extreme ends of the first and last section of monel sheathing are welded to the
carbon steel pipe. All intermediate sections of monel sheathing shall overlap and
be welded to adjoining sections of monel with a minimum overlap of 25 mm (1
inch). Monel sheathing shall be attached in accordance with Section 4.0 of this
Specification.

The general direction of overlap shall be such that the higher

elevation section overlaps on top of the adjacent lower section,
except for "fill-in" pieces at nodes, doubler plates, and so forth.
6.1.2
Each sheathing section shall be so installed that the sheathing

section longitudinal seam is diametrically opposite (180 degrees
staggered) to the adjacent section longitudinal seam and with at least
100 mm (4 inches) spacing between other adjacent seams and
sheathing joints. All monel sheathing fitment/installation shall be
subject to prior SAUDI ARAMCO approval before welding takes
place.
6.1.3
After wrapping each section of sheathing, the section shall be tack

welded at both ends (monel to monel on the bottom end and monel
to carbon steel on the top end) and the longitudinal joint. The tacks
shall be spaced at no more than 100mm (4 inches).
