Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to correct the deformed parts and to repair the distortion
parts of members/materials caused by welding, cutting, forming and handling for KINOA 4307
Project.
2.
Scope of Work
Incorporate heating and cooling equipment that shall be used for the particular method
employed during processing.
3.
4.
Reference Standard
ABS RULES
IACS No.47 Shipbuilding and Repair quality standard
Responsibility
Area Supervisors/Foreman shall be responsible for processing distorted of
members/materials in accordance with the requirements of this procedure and the material
specification for the project. He shall issue the notification to QC Inspector and welding
inspector prior to processing repair for approval selection of repair method.
The QA/QC Department shall ensure that the temperature are monitored and complied
with this requirement during heat straightening, temperature record is not necessary.
5.
Repair Procedure
5.1.
General.
When after welding it is found that the rotation of flange, width, depth, inclination etc.
are out of specified tolerance, heat/flame correction repair can be performed to rectify the
deviation.
The materials to be heated shall be free from grease, oily. The foreman shall mark the
heating pattern with chalk on the area to be heated.
Fuel Gas Heating equipment Oxy-Acetylene torches designed for heat application.
Cutting torches shall not be used.

The Temperature of heated areas in normal mild steel shall not exceed 850C in all
cases irrespective of whether cooling is done immediately by water or by air cooling.
The temperature of the heated areas in high tensile steel area shall not exceed:
a.
650C in case of cooling immediately by water
b. 850C in case of water cooling after a period of air cooling, the starting temperature of
water must be below 500C.
c. 850C in case of air cooling after heating
The temperature of heated steel shall be monitored using tempil-stick crayons for maximum
(not melt) temperature, to ensure adequate distribution of heat on material and prevent
excessive heating. No water quenching shall be applied during the flame heating. Cooling of
the heated area shall be in still air or may accelerate cooled with compressor air.
The proposed types of heat straightening method used largely depending on the situation type
and extend of distortion in steel structure. In case of beams and bulkhead straightening the
single flame is most commonly used. For straightening large areas such as deck plating, the
multi-flame line will be used to obtain effective straightening of plating.
The heating temperature given above does not apply to quenched and tempered steel and as
such can not be used for them.
5.2.
Tools and Equipment.
QC Inspector, Foreman, and Supervisor required having at least one of these following tools to
monitor the temperature during heat straightening.
a. Tempil-stick crayon with maximum temperature as mentioned in para 5.1
b. Thermometer with suitable temperature range.
c. Water for cooling process shall be fresh water.
Temporary strong back, wedge or bracing may consider applicable during heat
straightening process to avoid / control distortion exceeded.
6. Assessment after repair

Assessment after repair to ensure that dimension (after repair) has meet acceptance criteria or
still with in tolerance limit.
