1. GENERAL. The following safe practice rules will be followed when installing, maintaining or repairing pressure piping systems. The safe practice rules are the minimum requirements for a safe working condition.

a. SAFE PRACTICE RULES FOR COUPLINGS 1) CLAMP-ON TYPE COUPLINGS:

a) A foreman or supervisor familiar with the type of coupling being used will instruct installation, maintenance or service personnel in features of the coupling. b) Installation, maintenance or service personnel will verify that there is zero pressure on the pipe system prior to working on the couplings. c) Visually inspect all couplings to see that they are seated and tight prior to re- pressurization of the system.

2) MECHANICAL OR FLANGED COUPLINGS:

a) A foreman or supervisor familiar with the type of coupling being used will instruct installation, maintenance or service personnel in the features of the coupling being used. b) Installation, maintenance or service personnel will verify that there is zero pressure on the pipe system prior to working on the couplings. c) When using mechanical joint couplings, the installation, maintenance or service personnel will insure adequate pipe is in the coupling to ensure a good joint. When using flange connections, a visual inspection of the flange and flange weld will be made for cracks. If cracks are found, the flange is unsafe and must be changed.

01 06 10 - 25

d) Bolts in the joint being worked on and the adjacent joints will be manually and visually checked before re-pressurization.

3) PIPING

a) A foreman or supervisor familiar with the type of coupling being used will instruct installation, maintenance or service personnel in the features of the coupling being used. b) A foreman or supervisor familiar with the type of pipe and the system being worked will instruct installation, maintenance or service personnel in the features of the pipe and the system. c) Installation, maintenance or service personnel will verify that there is zero pressure on the pipe system prior to working on the pipe. d) Pipe repairs will be inspected before re-pressurization of the system.

B. PRESSURE TESTING 1. SAFE PRACTICES FOR PRESSURE SYSTEMS

a) Study the schematic diagram of any pressure system prior to pressurization.

b) Use only equipment which is designed, constructed and maintained for the pressure and fluid service of the pressurized system.

c) The burst pressure rating of all components of a pressure system shall meet ASME standard maximum operating pressures. d) Gages shall be equipped with blow- out plugs or safety cases. e) Never disable gage blow-out protection.

01 06 10 - 26

f) Gage scale shall be 1-1/2 to 2 times working pressure to be measured.

g) A certified safety relief valve shall be installed on all pressure vessels or in the piping system between the pressure source and the vessel.

h) Safety relief valves shall have

a discharge capacity greater than the maximum flow rate to which the protected item may be pressurized.

i) Relief valves shall be tested once

per year. j) All flexible hoses shall be

pressure proof tested prior to installation or as integrated into the system.

k) No repairs shall be performed on

pressurized systems. l) All accumulators in systems using

flammable fluids shall be charged with nitrogen or any inert gas that does not support combustion.

m) After using regulators, pressure

shall be bled off. Do not store dome regulators while pressurized.

n) When testing large volume

containers in order to reduce the effective volume, fill the container with relatively incompressible materials.

o) It is advisable to use liquids in

place of gasses for pressure testing whenever possible. Pneumatic tests shall be approved by NASA-MAF Safety before such testing begins.

p) All high pressure lines shall be

secured against whipping in case of failure.

q) High pressure hoses shall be

secured at both ends and every 6' throughout the length.

01 06 10 - 27

r) Employees engaged in pressure

testing shall be qualified and certified.

s) Test areas shall be controlled and

maintained. Access shall be limited to test personnel.

t) All vessels to be pressure

tested that do not meet ASME boiler and pressure vessel code must have the following information attached:

1) Material of construction 2) Design ultimate pressure 3) Maximum working pressure 4) Proof pressure 5) Date of last proof pressure test 6) Any special limitations or precautions

2. SAFE PRACTICES FOR PRESSURE SYSTEMS

a) The strength of many materials is degraded by significant temperature exposure. Before activation of any system that is to be pressurized, exposure to unusual heat or cold conditions must be evaluated. Exposure of flexible, metal or reinforced hydraulic lines to unusual heat such as welding, cutting or adjacent heating equipment, including sun-gun lamps used for illumination, has resulted in line ruptures, serious fires and/or explosion.

01 06 10 - 28

b) Vessels which do not meet ASME boiler and pressure vessel code shall be pressurized for the first time without personnel exposure. Adequate protection such as protective walls, block houses and natural terrain features must be provided. Not until a vessel is proof tested and its integrity verified, will personnel be exposed and then only those absolutely necessary for the efficient conduct of a test will be present. A test conductor shall require all unnecessary personnel to leave the test area. Subsequent pressurization must be considered hazardous and no personnel shall be exposed until desired pressure has stabilized, unless the reliability of the pressurization system and appropriate relief mechanisms are assured through redundancy and positive limiting devices. Unrestricted personnel exposure is permitted only around those vessels with a safe factor of at least 4 to 1 (maximum designed ultimate burst: maximum design working). The safety of personnel may be further assured around pressurized vessels by first exceeding the working or test pressure without exposing personnel, then reducing the pressure to the desired level.

c) The test supervisor shall

coordinate with NASA-MAF ll pressure testing. Written SOPs will be prepared for approval by NASA-MAF Safety.

01 06 10 - 29

3. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

a) The strength of many materials is degraded by significant temperature exposure. Before activation of any system that is to be pressurized, exposure to unusual heat or cold conditions must be evaluated. Exposure of flexible, metal or reinforced hydraulic lines to unusual heat such as welding, cutting or adjacent heating equipment, including sun-gun lamps used for illumination, has resulted in line ruptures, serious fires and/or explosion.

1) Pneumatic (requires prior written approval from

NASA-MAF Safety)

2) Hydrostatic a) Protect personnel against fluid jets or squirts when they are hydraulic pressure testing. This may be accomplished by remote testing, personal protective equipment, etc. b) When hydrostatic pressures are used, all air must be bled from the vessel being tested. c) Hydrostatic leak tests exceeding the operations pressure shall be considered hazardous. d) Hydrostatic proof test areas shall be considered as hazardous test areas. Controlled access shall be maintained. e) Control consoles and other equipment shall be located so that a failure of the test vessel would not deluge them with large volumes of liquid. f) Hydrostatic testing shall be performed with non-flammable liquids.

01 06 10 - 30

1.38 BREATHING AIR

A. Plant air shall never be used for breathing purposes

1.39 TETHERING OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENT AND LOOSE ITEMS
