This tabulation represents an overview of interacting fac tors that allows the specifying engineer to select the most ap- propriate preservative for a given situation. Indoor and fuldoor storage protection is addressed, but lubricants oF preservatives used for oil mist systems are not covered, 2. The severity of indoor storage is a function of such fac tors as dampness, poor air circulation, widely fluctuating temperatures, or presence of corrosive fumes. If conditions are moderately severe, product “C” will provide an adequate oily film and some abrasion resistance. It does not contain ‘water-displacing or fingerprint suppressing agents 13. Product “B” has a greasclike consistency and leaves a ‘hick film that wilt provide protection in the most severe in ‘door environments If stored parts are sheltered from direct texposure to sun, rain, and snow, effective outdoor rust pro- tection can be achieved with this product. Application of product “B" is preferably made by dipping ata temperature of T1=T7°C (160-170°F), For parts to large to dip, apptiea- tion ean be made by brush, This product forms a sof, thick, waxy coating on application, withthe surface coating grad- tually drying lo form a protective film or crust while the un- deslying material remains soft and plastic. This is an important characteristic because it fford a self-healing ef- fect. When a minor break occurs, the softer material will slowly flow together and reseal the damaged film. 4. The degree of protection obtained in exposed outdoor en- Vironments will pend to some extent onthe thickness and durability ofthe barir film provided by the rust preventive ‘material For relatively short-irm storage, product "B” will give effective protection, For longer periods, product “A” is Fecommended. It provides the toughest coating for a product Copyright bythe American Petroleum inetute Th Ju 22 14:28:43 1909 ‘of this type, and is more resistant to film rupture than prod uct “B" For dip application, product “A” should be heated to 85°C (1857 5, Product ‘D" isa solvent-cutback asphaltic material, This, product provides the best protection for long-term outdoor Storage, but must be removed before the part i put imo ser- vice. The preferred application method is by spray, although dipping and brush applications ae also stable. Product “‘D” dries to a thick, hard, durable, black film but may be re- ‘moved with a good quality mineral spirits solvent. 6. Although products “A” through "C do not require r= moval before the partis placed in service, care should be taken fo be sure thatthe coating has not absorbed abrasive dust 7. Many of the desirable attributes of premium preservatives are listed below: ‘© Dry to a mildly tacky film that should not collect ap- preciable amounts of airborne particulates, ‘Provide freedom from oxidation in indoor and out- oor storage for extended periods of time + Due to their polar nature, remove water from the pores of the metal replacing the water with the rust pre- ventive coat + In the form of films, have extremely low moisture transmission characteristics, even in contact with water. 4+ Have the ability to neutralize acid, making a suitable rust preventive for acidic atmospheres and where finger- prints may create a corrosive action on metal surface. # Are self-healing, ifin film form. Ifthe film is acci- entally ruptured, it should heal over the ruptured area, ‘+ Even as film, should be readily removed with solvent ‘or asolventemulsion cleaner when desired. + Are safe to apply over partially painted or conven- tional elastomeric parts APT RPxbSb 9b MM 0732290 DSS3965 65 APPENDIX B—MACHINERY RECEIVING AND PROTECTION CHECKLIST Project No. Equip.

A poorly designed foundation ‘or baseplate, or improper installation techniques, can result in chronic rotating equipment problems. These problems include high vibration, rotating assembly “rubs,” poor seal Jife, and mechanical failures. Therefore, a machinery in- stallation must be thought of as a system, nol as a con- iglomeration of pieces designed independently within their ‘own guidelines.

Any questions regarding mounting plate grouting design are to be referred to the owner's des- ignated representative before proceeding. 2.2 General/Special Purpose Equipment ‘This section is intended to address those grouting design requirements associated with all machinery. Additional spe~ cial-purpose machinery requirements are covered i the ap- pendixes atthe end of this chapter. 2.3 Drawing and Data Requirements “The designer shall produce detailed design drawings of the grout layout for special-purpose machinery. Grout lay ‘out drawings shall be completed during engineering design and shall be submitted to the purchaser for review. These Pracrce 6B6/PIP REIE 626 3.14.8 For special-purpose equipment, a grout sample shall be obtained for each batch mixture (polystyrene cup- ful) for compressive strength testing. All samples are 10 be Tabeled and their batch placement location noted, 3.14.6 A final check of soleplate elevation and level shall bbe made hefore the grout sets. 3.14.7 Aic bubbles rising to the surface of epoxy grout ‘may be removed by lightly spraying the bubble surface with the grout manufacturer's cleaning solvent. 3.14.8. If required, the exposed surface ofthe grout can be {roweled or broomed when itis ina tacky sate to provide a nonskid surface. Troweling and brooming may be fciitated by the use of grout solvent. Troweling and brooming shall be-caried out in a manner that precludes excessive blending, ‘of the grout solvent into the surface ofthe grout 3.18.9 Remove any grout head boxes after the grout has set sufficiently, Do not plug any baseplate il and vent holes ‘until the grout has set (this can cause base distortion de to rout expansion} 3.15 Post-Grouting Instructions 3.15.1 Typically, three days after the grout has been poured, the grout should be of sufficient hardness toremove jeckscrews and grout forms. This will ensure that the grout has obtained most ofits strength and hardness ‘Note:The gout of sutcent Madness fa sixpenny nabing nail cant be eriven nthe grot surface 3.15.2. Mounting plates that sete unevenly and/or beyond, the specified level tolerance shall be corrected. Correction of level may include removal and regrouting or field machin- ing ofthe equipment mounting surfaces. 3.15.3 Mounting plate jackscrew holes shall be filled with ’a flexible sealant materia (not grout) such as room temper- ‘ature vuleanizable (RTV) silicone rubber or with short cap screws that do not extend below the threaded holes in the mounting plate. 3.15.4 Check grout for softness. This can be done by plac ing a magnetic-based dial indicator on the soleplate (refer- enced to the concrete foundation) and checking for any ‘movement as each anchor bolt i loosened and retightened. Soleplate movement should not exceed 20 micrometers (0.001 inch), ‘Copyright bythe American Petroleum Insite Poa dul 2 145141 1090 3.45.5 Afier the grout has cured, expansion joints shall be ‘sealed with elastic epoxy seam sealant (liquid rubber) or sil- icone rubber (RTV). 3.15.6 The entire top of the machinery foundation shall then be painted with a grout-compatible nonskid protective coating to protect the foundation cap from oil and weather- ing. This coating shall extend down from the top ofthe foun- ‘dation a least 45 centimeters (18 inches), 3.18.7 Lubricate all anchor bolt threads liberally and torque anchor bolts in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, The Table A-1 in Appendix A may be used a a guide if manufacturer information is not available, 3.18.8 All anchor bolts shall have full penetration of the anchor bole nut and 27: threads protruding above the anchor bolt mut, 3.16 Filling Grout Voids 3.16.1 After the grout has cured, check for voids by tap- ping along the top deck of the mounting plat. Mark te void treas to allow for proper identification when filling. A solid thud indicates a good grout area while a drumlike hollow sound indicates a void requiring filling. 3.16.2 Void areas are tobe filled by drilling NPT "holes in ‘opposite comers of each void area. One hole in each void ist be tapped for installation of a NPT Ws grease fitting; the other holes serve as vents, Grout is then pumped into each void with ‘a grout gun until the grout emerges from the vent holes. 916-3 Care must be exercised in filling voids as high pres ‘sures created from the grout gun can lift or distort the base~ plate. Its therefore extremely important that the grout and ‘ent holes are in communication with each other. An air squeeze bottle may be used to test for communication by ‘lowing air ito the grout hole and noting its exit atthe vent hole (do not use high-pressure air). dial indicator shall also be used to monitor baseplate movement during void filling. Remove all grease fitings when finished. 3.16.4 Clean up any spilled grout with the grout manu- facturet’s approved solvent. 3.18.5 After the void grout has cured, recheck the base- plate to ensure that all voids ae filled with groat. If void ar- as still exist, repeat the drilling and pumping procedures as necessary.

Determine high end of baseplate. Then start leveling across pads on high end by adjusting leveling bolts dja- ‘cent to the pad that you are leveling. For example, when leveling driver pads A and B in crosswise direction, level a anchor points 1 and 2 (see Figure D-1) with level positioned as shown by Figure D-3. Continue leveling, ‘until baseplate i level in crosswise direction at places illustrated by Figures D-2 and D-3— pads A and B must bbe level across middles and across ends, particularly those ends nearest pump. ete: Use nly hae pads for determining Level.

For example, when leveling pad A, lev! at anchor points |, 3, and $, Figure D-, with level positioned as ‘showin by Figure D-4, Continue leveling uni both sides of baseplate (thai, pads A,B, and each side of pump) are level in lengthwite direction at places illustrated by D-4 and DS 3, Tighten foundation anchor bolts and pump feet hold-down bolts. As you tighten bolts, position level as ilus- trated in the four leveling figures and check leveling in both crosswise and lengthwise directions. If tightening bolts disturbs leveling, adjust leveling bolts until baseplate is level in both directions a place where leveling was. disturbed. Again tighten bolts and verify leveling in both directions, Continue this procedure until all bolts length- wise and crosswise directions ae tight.

[Lengths vary with the sizeof the pipe but range from 15 cen- timeters (6 inches) to 1 meter (3 feet). The purposes ofthis spool are to facilitate machinery installation, alow piping ‘modification o reduce pipe strain, isolate the machinery, f- tate commissioning activities such as flushing or blowing Tines, and allow removal of temporary inlet strainers: also known as a dropout spool. 1.3. condensing service: A gas sresm that contains a ‘vapor component that may condense to liquid during star- up. operation, or shut-down of a compressor or blower. This ‘may include pure vapors such as refrigerants as well as hy- Grocarbon gas streams. When condensate is present in the {gas stream, the term wet gas may be used; wet gas may also be used as a synonym to condensing service. 4.4 dead-leg: A length of piping with no flow. 1.5 designated machinery representative: |The person or organization designated by the ultimate owner of the equipment to speak on his behalf with regard to mac ety installation decisions, inspection requirements, and so forth. Ths representative may be an emplayee ofthe owner, a third party inspection company, or an engineering contrac- tor as delegated by the owner 4.6 drop point: A vertical section of oil mist distibu- tion piping that is usally smaller in diameter than the main cil mist header. Ths piping rises out ofa tee in the main oil mist header, turns horizontally, and extends downward othe ‘machinery being lubricated. 1.7. engineering designer; The person or organiza- tion charged with the project responsibility of supplying in- stallaion drawings and procedures for installing machinery in-a.user facility after machinery has been delivered. In gen- cecal, but not always, the engineering designer specifies ma- ‘chinery im the user facility 4.8 equipment installer: The person or organization charged with providing engineering services and labor re- ‘quired to install machinery ina user Facility after machinery has been delivered, In genera, bat not always, the installer is the project construction contractor. 4.9. equipment user: The organization charged with operation of the machinery. In general, but not always, the ‘equipment user owns and maintains the machinery after the project is complete. ‘Copyright by the American Petroleum insttute Thu Jo 22 1652-14 1960 6 1.10 final alignment: The aligning of two adjacent ‘machinery shafts after the measurement of piping-imposed strains on the machinery are veified as being within the specified tolerances. 4.11 general-purpose equipment trains: Those trains that have all general-purpose elements inthe tain, ‘They ae usually spared, relatively small in size (power), of are in noncritial service. They are intended for applica tions where process conditions will not exceed 48 bar ‘gauge (700 pounds per square inch gauge) pressure or 205°C (400°F) temperature (excluding steam turbines), or ‘both, and where speed will not exceed $000 revolutions per minute (RPM). ote: General purpose nuipment sina have al lent ta re ther Arumufacture' andar are covered by standards such ste ollwing: TANSUASME 6.73 tonaoal pumps, all APL Sadar 10 prs, fs ‘AP Slane 611 sear utes, APL Stbdard 672 ar compressors API ‘Slide 67 goer prpone gar AP Standard 674 recreating peng ‘AP Stundrd 676 oay pote dulacemert pups, APL Sundar 6 ‘Rpocntng a compresors and NEMA sundae motor 4.42 Isolation block valve: A valve used to isolate 8 ‘process machine preparatory to maintenance; also known as ‘block valve or isolation valve. 4.43 mechanical piping analysis: An analysis of the piping connected to a machine to determine the stresses and deflections ofthe piping resulting from dynamic load- ings such as pulsating flow.
