Reinforcing Pads or Sleeves (Use Checklists SAIC-A-2021 & SAIC-A-2023 and SATR-A-2010 with this checklist)
NOTE: Tapping holes & testing repads/reinforcement sleeves in HOT TAPs is strictly PROHIBITED. (SAEP-311, Para. 13.8.6) Re-inforcing pads that will require pneumatic* test are provided with at least a 1/4" tapped vent hole. Grind/deburr side against pipe *Refer to SAIC-A-2023 for Bubble Leak Test per ASME Section V. Note: When Contractor Procedures specify repad testing Use When API Tank Construction requires repad testing Use When Code Vessels require repad testing

Weld-Plus-Plus Ends (SAEP-312, Para 3.4.13 Application for Pipeline Repairs) NOTE: This Test does not require use of SAIC-A-2021 & SAIC-A-2023. Follow 6 Steps Below Precisely. Weld-Plus-Ends shall be subjected to pneumatic pressure test of 35 to 70 kPa (ga) (5 to 10 psig) in the annulus between the gasket and seal weld. It shall be examined for leaks using a soap solution. *Refer to SAIC-A-2023 for Bubble Leak Test (ASME V). The Weld+Ends shall be welded using the following steps: Step 1) Tack weld all of the end thrust screws. Cut them off flush with the coupling face using a grinder with a special cut-off disc. Refer to SAMS S/N 37-708-680. Hold a metal strip between the bolt and pipe to prevent damaging the pipe wall with the grinder. Some projection of the outer edge of the bolt is acceptable. Keep in mind, the reason for cutting screws off flush with the coupling face is to prevent lack of fusion and slag entrapment in the fillet girth welds. This has been associated to cause of leaking couplings in the past. Step 2) Depending on the position of the coupling, and the proximity of it's ends, both of the Weld+Ends girth welds should be made at the same time. Where possible, use two welders at each end of the coupling to weld on opposite quadrants simultaneously. All passes on girth fillet weld shall be in the following sequence: 1) Weld from 3:00 to 12:00 o'clock position. 2) Weld from 6:00 to 9:00 o'clock position. 3) Weld from 6:00 to 3:00 o'clock position. 4) Weld from 9:00 to 12:00 o'clock position. Commentary: All of the thrust screw ends shall be welded over. Step 4) Make a in. fillet weld, (at least two passes), around all of the clamping screws, except the ones used for venting and leak testing. After welding, either burn off or cold cut the remainder of the clamping screws just above the weld. Note: Step 3 = eliminated Step 5) Apply an air test (5 to 10 psi) at each end of the coupling through the top clamping screw holes. Put a soap solution* over all the welds and check for leaks. Any areas found leaking shall be ground out, re-welded and air tested as previous. *Snoop Step 6) Upon completion of the air test, replace the remaining clamp screws at each end of the coupling. Tighten the clamp screw as described in section 4.3. Weld and cut off the screw ends as described in Step 4. SAES-L-150, Para 10.2
