ISSUE 2
PMI testing shall be conducted using one of the following devices suitable for the elements to be determined as required in Appendix-1, having the sensitivity to detect these alloying elements in the above specified ranges.
a) Use of quantitative, portable X-ray fluorescence analyzers: It includes also instruments with advancements in XRF technology, such as 50KV, X-ray tubes, and silica drift detectors (SDD), which allow the user to detect light elements down to very low concentrations in steel substrates. For example, the latest generation of handheld X-ray fluorescence analyzers now measure light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, and S) to very low limits of detection and can provide for field measurement of silicon in steel down to very low concentrations. However, to get this near-laboratory-quality measurement, significant care regarding surface preparation and cleanliness is required, as contamination of the prepared surface can lead to inaccurate results. Most comports are exposed to environments that promote surface pollution and contamination, which can interfere with the analysis. Typically, a small test area is prepared with a portable grinding disk (60 to 80 grit, minimum zirconium aluminum oxide disposable abrasive disk) to properly clean the sample location prior to analysis. The inherent limitations of the technique mean it is not possible to detect all elements. XRF analyzers are capable of detecting elements from magnesium (Mg) to Uranium (U) in the periodic tables. This excludes some elements, such as carbon and boron. The user should be aware of potential radiation exposure hazards when operating an XRF device. The user is expected to observe local jurisdictional requirements that govern radiation safety, and consult the manufacturer’s instructions for safe operation.
b) Use of portable optical emission analyzers: These devices fall into two acceptable groups:
i. Field-portable, laboratory grade analyzers. These were originally difficult to use due to their size and weight; however, modern units are now available that can be considered lightweight, including the small argon cylinders required for operation. Some of these analyzers operate in a pure arc mode for routine PMI applications, while the more sophisticated units have a spark mode allowing laboratory quality analysis. The significant advantage of these instruments is the expansion of elements that can be analyzed, including carbon. Another advantage of these advanced instruments is that they are not subject to operator interpretation. As these techniques generate arcs and sparks, a potential ignition source occurs during their operation; therefore, prior to use of this technique in the field, a review shall be conducted in order to determine if gas testing and hot work permits are required. Evidence of Arc burn resulting from examination shall be removed by light grinding or abrasive paper. No permanent marks, which are injurious to the usage of product in service, are acceptable
ii. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), in which an atomic emission spectroscopy technique uses highly energetic laser pulses. The laser is focused to form plasma, which atomizes and excites samples. Plasma light emissions provide the spectral signature of chemical composition for practically any material. When calibrated for metal analysis, LIBS can provide quantitative information to determine which elements are present and in what quantity. Considerable progress has been made during the past few years in LIBS technology. Handheld LIBS metal analyzers are becoming available that can provide fast in situ chemical analysis with appropriate precision and detection limits. The significant advantage of LIBS technology is its wide element range. In principle, LIBS can detect all elements, limited by the power of the laser as well as the sensitivity and wavelength range of the spectrograph and detector. The LIBS technology also can provide low-level carbon analysis, which, in principle, enables LIBS to positively identify a wide range of ferrous alloys.

The surfaces to be examined shall be prepared and cleaned by suitable means before PMI so that surface be free from grease, oil, paint or oxides. Testing shall be done after proper surface cleaning and other requirements as outlined by the manufacturer of the portable alloy analyzer. Each analyzer shall be calibrated according to Manufacturer requirements. At the beginning and end of each shift, the instrument shall be checked at least three times against a Standard Reference Materials of the same alloy family to be inspected during the shift, using the method to be used during the shift. This check shall be performed under environmental conditions similar to the test location. Analytical laboratories using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, optical spectroscopy, or wet chemical analysis may be used for verification in cases where PMI testing using one of the above portable qualitative analysis methods leads to the potential rejection of a component.
8
NON-CONFORMANCES
If PMI/MVP result does not comply with acceptance criteria specified, the relevant item shall be rejected, and the following actions shall be taken by Vendor/Sub-Contactor (as applicable): a) a non-conformance report (NCR) per the project quality procedures shall be issued b) a corrective action plan shall be issued for the Contactor’s acceptance, and in particular,
i. Vendor/Sub-Contactor (as applicable) shall be responsible for replacing the weld with the
correct specified welds and for performing PMI on all replacement welds.
ii. Vendor shall be responsible for replacing the components with the correct specified material
and for performing PMI on all replacement components.
In addition to the above, if an item from a representative sample is rejected, the following additional testing shall be carried out by Vendor’s expense: ➢ Examine 100% of the remaining components/welds of the lot from which the sample was taken ➢ Examine 100% of next lot from the same Vendor ➢ Return the level of examination to the originally specified level if examination of the next lot does
not identify any similar non-conformance
c) Material rejected by PMI shall be marked to designate rejection using indelible ink or paint. The
rejected items shall be held in a designated area to prohibit their re-use.
d) If the PMI test results fall outside the acceptable range, using the instruments and method described in clause 7, Vendor/Sub-Contactor (as applicable) may obtain a quantitative check analysis performed by an independent testing laboratory, at his own expense. If no method is referenced in the applicable materials standard, an appropriate method of chemical analysis, as specified in API RP 578 para 6.5.1, shall be used. Results of this analysis shall govern.

IDENTIFICATION OF COMPONENTS FOR PMI VERIFICATION
Immediately following PMI examination, all items shall be clearly marked to show whether the analysis of the item is acceptable or is subject to rejection. As requested by sub-clauses 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4, upon satisfactory completion of PMI, Vendor/Sub-Contactor shall show the test result on appropriate drawing/map so that each test site and result can be traceable. Upon satisfactory completion of PMI, Vendor shall apply color coding on all components of relevant inspection lot. Identification by color coding is not a substitute for other permanent manufacturer’s marking, as is required by applicable ASTM or other piping material specifications. When heat treatment is performed, the identification marking and color coding shall be recognizable after such heat treatments.
Paints for color coding shall be selected such that: ➢ They shall not cause degradation to the base material (e.g., no zinc-containing paint/marker on stainless steel base material, no chloride-containing paint/marker on stainless steel base material) ➢ They shall not contain undesirable substances such as chlorides, fluorides, sulfur, and low melting
point metals
➢ They shall have a life of at least one year in exposed outdoor weather conditions Note: in case of component (e.g. bulk valves) are supplied/provided with primer coat, paint shall be compatible for the primer used
Appendix-2 provides the color code to be adopted. The color shall be applied as per following table:
Pipe
Fittings
Flanges
Each length of pipe shall be painted over the entire length with a 12 mm (0.5 in) to a 40 mm (1.6 in) wide stripe, depending on the pipe size.
a) Each socket weld fitting, swage or pipe nipple shall be dabbed with a spot of paint 12 mm (0.5 in) to 25 mm (1 in) in diameter. b) The entire length of each butt weld fitting shall be painted on the outside surface with a 12 mm (0.5 in) to 40 mm (1.6 in) wide stripe, depending on size.
The outer peripheral edge of each flange shall be painted with a spot of paint on the outer surface.

- For low and high carbon grade of SS, there must be a traceable mill certificate showing carbon content and carbon content shall be verified during PMI testing; in particular:
➢ For low carbon (“L”) grade material, measurement of carbon content is not necessary in case of exclusively use of dual grade material (e.g. 316/316L) and no high carbon (“H”) grade material is part of scope of work of Fabricator
➢ For high carbon (“H”) grade material, measurement of carbon content cannot be waived.
Testing of Ti will prevent unacceptable substitution with Grade 409.
