PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1  EXAMINATION

  1. Examine piping system for compliance with requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions affecting performance.
  2. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
  3. Examine valve interior for cleanliness, freedom from foreign matter, and corrosion. Remove special packing materials, such as blocks, used to prevent disc movement during shipping and handling.
  4. Operate valves in positions from fully open to fully closed. Examine guides and seats made accessible by such operations.
  5. Examine threads on valve and mating pipe for form and cleanliness.
  6. Examine mating flange faces for conditions that might cause leakage. Check bolting for proper size, length, and material. Verify that gasket is of proper size, that its material composition is suitable for service, and that it is free from defects and damage.
