Definition:

Blasting - Removal of rust, scale or any foreign material by use of abrasives propelled through a nozzle.

Procedure:

1. The Welding should be continuous and the steel surface shall be ground such that there are no sharp corners, to achieve a radius 3 – 5 mm maximum. 2.

Any surface defects particularly surface laminations, scars, which are likely to affect the linings, shall be removed by dressing. All welds are to be inspected and repaired prior to the blasting.

3.

Cuttings / Heat application produces hard zones on the edges of plates, flanges, grinding is to be done in these areas. i.e. Where normal blasting is insufficient to obtain the required finish.

4.

All welding flux and waste must be removed and welds rounded to obtain a smooth radius.

5.

In case the item has damaged rubber linings the lining is removed first by either chipping / de-bonding application of heat on the external surface as to de-bond the rubber inside.

6.

All metal surfaces to be blasted shall be free from oil, grease or any other foreign matters. Cleaning of the surface should be done by washing with a solvent.

7.

Blasting media must be clean, new material or properly separated to remove fines to ensure a proper profile and clean surface.

8. The temperature of the substrate shall be minimum 3-5 ˚ C above the dew point during surface preparation. The relative humidity shall not exceed 85%. This shall be monitored at the beginning and every four hours during continuous blasting.

According to the JOC check whether the rubber sheet material is as per the requirement (compound code, thickness). The Ok sheet is put on the table and care should be taken to avoid any grinding/dusting operations near it. The un-vulcanized sheet is kept for shrinking. Individual sheets shall be tailored to fit the surface to be lined. The edges are prepared as per the t to be used The ing surface of the lining sheet shall be made tacky by either wiping with a solvent or the application of a coat of adhesive, the other surface is on the cloth or plastic film. The sheets are allowed to dry for 10-15 minutes for the solvent to evaporate. The tailored sheet is then taken carefully and positioned on the cemented metal and rolled with a stitcher and the cloth or the plastic film is removed gently. After the sheet is partially tacked in the place it should be rolled with a steady, firm over lapping stroke. The rolling or stitching should start at the center of the sheet and worked towards the edges. It is essential that the rubber lining be rolled tightly against the metal surface to remove any trapped air and assure a complete between rubber and the metal. Puncture any air blisters that are found with the help of a needle. Stretching or applying tension to rubber sheets is to be avoided. Special care is to be given to avoid stretching in corners of right angled junctions. Use a proper shape piece as a stock that can be filled in sharp inside corners where stretching is a concern. Rubber s shall be ed together by making skived lip of approximately 1 to 2 inches. The edge of the underlying is up skived at a slope of 45 ˚ and the over lapping is down skived at the same slope. Where ever possible it is to be seen that the over lap t made is in the direction of the product flow. For lining nozzles and pipes a tube of the rubber is made and inserted through the pipe or nozzle and is stitched to remove trapped air. At the end of the application of the rubber sheets a spark test is carried out at all places to ensure that the un vulcanized lining has no blisters or loose bonding. In case any spark is observed then the area is repaired by filling and again spark tested. All uneven edges and excess rubber shall be trimmed properly.

Purpose:

To ensure thorough inspection of Rubber Lining to avoid even a minor defect in the lining.

Scope:

The inspection practices of visual examination, spark testing for both before and after vulcanization and hardness check.

Responsibility:

QAM / QCO/ LIC / PRM / PF

Definitions:

Nil.

Procedure:

1.0

Visual Inspection:

2.0

On completion of the rubber lining operation, it is visually inspected with special attention to: 1.1 The linings shall be checked against the JOC to see that all areas conform to the requirements. The general appearance of the rubber surface is to be observed. The lining should be checked for wrinkles, blisters, depressions and de-laminations. 1.2 All ts shall be checked for looseness and uniformity. 1.3 Trapped air is detected by holding a light near the surface of the rubber and looking for shadow areas caused by the trapped air forming high spots. All trapped air should be removed before cure and repair to be made. Spark Testing: 2.1

3.0

Before and after the rubber lining is cured, it must be tested with a spark tester to determine the presence of pin hole leaks, punctures, cuts etc. and are to be repaired. 2.2 All surfaces must be free of moisture, dirt, grit or foreign matter at the time of testing. 2.3 No curing is done until the complete lining is inspected and repairs made are re-inspected and found O.K. Hardness: 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5

Related Documents: Distribution:

Hardness of the rubber after cure is an indication of proper cure. The readings are measured by the Durometer after the item is cooled to the ambient temperature. In case the hardness values are less than the required the item is re-cured to achieve the maximum hardness. The readings of the Durometer are taken by making a firm between the Durometer and the rubber surface making sure to record the initial highest reading. Record approximately five readings per 100 square ft. to ensure representative readings.
