not available in APC warehouses have been provided by the CONTRACTOR as per the
requirements and specifications of the project.
Material Procured by CONTRACTOR have been approved by the OWNER/ENGINEER
QA/QC Material Check
• Material quality and conformity check shall be carried out by QC engineer to ensure all
material are in good conditions in coordination with OWNER/ENGINEER
• In the event of any non-conformity of the material at the time of delivery, the
CONTRACTOR must immediately inform the OWNER/ENGINEER before accepting the

rainfalls or dust. For coated pipes and fittings, it shall be handled with care to avoid
scratching and coating damage, over stacking for more than 8 layers is not allowed.
• All pipes ends should be capped and protected, for beveled ends a proper protection of
mechanical loadings and impacts should be arranged
• Pipes should be stored horizontally leveled, supported by soft surface sections.
• Pipes should be supported on a flat grade to prevent rolling.

P a g e 11 OF 28
ARAB POTASH COMPANY
9.5.1 Cutting
Pipe fabricator shall measure and mark the pipes intended to be cut using proper marking tool
(paint marker pen). A line all around the circumference of the pipe shall be marked to insure
straight cut. Pipe should be fixed properly in horizontal position to avoid movement while
cutting using vices and supports.
Grinders shall be inspected prior to use and insure performance; valid cutting disk of the proper
thickness and application shall be used. Grinder guard shall not be removed in any case
Cutting speed should be slow and careful to insure no departure of marked line, pipe cutting
starts from the top of the surface then moving down slowly and insure the disk penetrates
completely, pipe shall be rolled over to face the uncut surface of the pipe and so on until the
pipe is completely teared. The two pipe pieces supposed to be heated due to friction. Cooling
with water or any other medium is not permitted.
9.5.2 Beveling
Proper beveling shall be applied to the pipe butt, forming the required type V shaped groove to
achieve the required weld profile. Power 5 inches grinder should be used to bevel the pipe butt
to the desired V angle specified in the approved WPS.
9.5.3 Pipes fit up and tack welding
For either shop or field welding, pipes shall be fitted properly in accordance to approved
drawings measurements, alignment and gap between the two edges shall be minded carefully.
P a g e 12 OF 28
ARAB POTASH COMPANY

match with groove angle. Joints with tack welds should not be hoisted or subjected to direct
mechanical loading may cause tack weld defects
Fit up shall be inspected prior to welding by QC personnel. Joints information shall be written
maximum 10 cm next on the pipe surface. Heat No, Welder No, Date and pipe size shall be
written
9.5.4 Welding

9.5.5.3 Process
P a g e 14 OF 28
ARAB POTASH COMPANY
Welding processes shall be implemented in compliance to the WPS and applicable codes and
standards mentioned in chapter 3. See Appendix E for PWPS
4 passes of welds are required for each joint for all material the PWPS took into account pipes
material and joints strength and flexibility in order to produce a successful weld, the four passes
are Root, Hot, Fill and Cover. Root pass basically intended to penetrate the original 2 plates
(pipes) materials and form the first bead. Root pass filler material usually differs than other
passes filler materials. In the scope of this method statements all root passes shall be done with
E70s filler material which is with the same characteristics for all passes, using Gas Tungsten Arc
Welding (GTAW).
After accomplishment of root pass, grinding may be applied to the root pass bead to remove
unwanted particulates, such as shields, coolants, dusts, and in order to smoothen the bead
surface for the next pass.
After grinding is accomplished and visually accepted, welder starts with the hot pass with E70s
GTAW process continuously all around the joint, grinding after hot pass may be required.
Summary for the welding processes to be implemented is explained in Table 9-1 and Figure 9-1
