Oversizing of bolt and pin holes to compensate for mis-alignment is not permitted.

5.5.2 All bolts shall be tightened securely with wrenches in a conventional manner, except for high 'strength connections which require special tightening.

5.5.3 High strength bolts shall be tightened to a bolt tension not less than the proof load given in the ASTM or Section II Material speci-fication for the bolt. Tightening shall be done by use of torque wrenches or the turn of the nut method as specified by AISC "Speci-fication for Structural Joints Using ASTM A-325 or A-490 Bolts".

5. 5.4 Double nut arrangement shall be utilized on all rods, bolts, etc.,

subject to vibration and/or loaded in tension unless indicated other-wise on the drawings.

5.6.1 , All anchor b'olts shall be Hilti Kwik Bolts.

5.6.2 Hilti Bolts shall be installed at the locations required by the support drawing at approximately the bolt hole center. If the bolt hole lo-cation is within 4 inches or 5 bolt diameters (whichever is greater) of the free edge of the concrete, the Owner shall be notified prior to drilling. If the support drawing shows the concrete free edge, Owner notification is not required.

5. 6.3 When drilling a hole for Hilti Bolt installation a minimum distance of 2 inches shall be maintained between the new hole and any existing holes measur'ed edge to,edge. If existing holes are grouted and allowed to reach 3000 psi, a new hole may be drilled less than 2 inches from the repaired hole.

Bolts shall not be installed and torqued if any other holes exist within 5 bolt diameters of the bolt hole measured from the bolt hole centerline to the edge of the abandoned hole. Bolts may however, be inserted in the bolt hole and tightened to seat and extend the bolt to achieve a grip in the concrete. "

Final torqueing of the nut shall be performed only after the grout has been placed in the surrounding holes and achieved a strength of 3000 psi.

5.4 All welded and flanged joints in the boundary of each test shall have been completed and, if required, non-destructive examined and stress relieved with satisfactory results prior to the performance of that test.

5.5 Before every test, the piping systems shall be visually inspected to assure that there are no visual defects and that all connections are tight, and that all supports are installed.

5.6 No repair welding shall be done on any section of piping that con-tains water, or is under pressure.

6.7 All in-line instruments, gauge glasses, flow meter pots, liquid level float gauges, and all other pressure parts of instruments shall be included in these tests, where feasible.

6.8 Test procedures shall be in accordance with ANSI N 45.2.8.

6.9 Initial service leak test, if specified on the "Piping Pressure Test" sheets, shall be conducted in the same manner as hydrostatic leak test except that the system need not be totally isolated as long as test pressure can be maintained.

7.0 TEST RE UIREMENTS 7.1 A test pump shall be available that is capable of at least 120%

of test pressure.

7.2 Test pumps shall be used and controlled such that no pump that was used to pressurize oil/hydraulic systems will be used on water sys-tems or vice versa. Prior to connecting the test pump to a system, the pump and any hoses associated with it shall be flushed to ensure that the pump discharge will meet the hydro cleanliness requirements of the applicable specification.

r 7.3 An "official" test pressure gauge shall be installed on the test pump discharge line. This gauge shall be calibrated prior to test and have a range between lg and 3 times the test pressure. This gauge shall be visible to the person controlling the pump.

7.4 Systems shall be vented during filling by use of vents provided for the purpose or by loosening flanged points or instrument connections.

Small lines may be cleared of air by flushing with water.

0 7.5 Prior to application 0

of pressure, water temperature shall be 60 F.

minimum and 100 F. maximum.

7.6 Demineralized water shall be used for testing.

7.7 Lines that are spring or counterweight supported and all gas and vapor lines shall be temporarily supported during test in order to support the hydrostatic load, "Piping Pressure Test" sheets.

if specified on the attached 7.8 System shall be brought up to test pressure slowly.

7.9 Test pressure shall be maintained a minimum of ten minutes before visual examination of )oints begins, and then shall be maintained until all )oints are examined.

By this procedure the test pressure shall be kept between 100% and '105% of its intended value.

7.11 Acce tance Criteria t

7.11.1 Following the application of the hydrostatic test pressure for a minimum of ten (10) minutes, visual examination for weeping or leaking shall be made of all 5oints and connections, and of all regions of high stress, such as regions around openings and thick-ness-transition section. The piping system exclusive of possible localized instances, such as at a pump or valve packing, shall show no visual evidence of weeping or leaking. Weeping or leaking at pump or valve packing shall be noted and evaluated after the test.

Wetting of a flanged )oint gasket is acceptable; however, if weep-ing or leaking persists to a point where the test medium contin-ually flows, the joint shall be rejected.

7.12 Joints found to be defective shall be repaired and retested.

7.13 Tested systems shall be vented and drained immediately upon success-ful completion of the test and shall be blown dry with clean, oil free, dry air or nitrogen.

8.0 UALITY ASSURANCE RE UIRI2KNTS 8.1 Testing of Seismic Category I piping systems (as indicated on drawings) shall be in accordance with the Quality Assurance re-quirements of Rochester Gas 6 Electric Corporation.
