GENERAL
All non-destructive examination shall be carried out in accordance with ASME Section
V as a minimum. All personnel involved in non-destructive testing shall be qualified to
a nationally recognized standard.
Inspection and testing shall be carried out at the manufacturers works and shall be
witnessed by the Companys authorized representatives and/or the certifying authority if
required.
The responsibility for inspection rests with the Contractor. However, the Company
reserves the right to inspect vessels at any time during fabrication to ensure that
materials and workmanship are in accordance with the specification, the vessel data
sheets and/or the approved drawings.
The contractor shall provide a projected shop schedule with appropriate fabrication
stages and the inspection activity schedule.
The approval of any work by the Company or their authroised representative and the
release of a vessel for shipment shall in no way relieve the contractor of any
responsibility for carrying out the provisions of this specification.
The contractor shall inform the company at the time of placing the order of any test,
which cannot be adequately performed.
Prior to testing, vessels shall be cleaned of all weld spatter, loose scale and foreign
matter. Liquids used for cleaning shall be completely drained. Vessels with shell
thickness greater than 20mm shall be cleaned externally by a commercial grit blast,
No 6 to SSPC SP 6 to ensure freedom from embedded foreign matter. Any defects
discovered during cleaning shall be repaired.
