Safety Requirements
NONEProcedure
Refer to SPM TASK 70-35-24-300-501 for limitations.
Mark off section of tube to replaced.
SUBTASK 70-35-24-350-009 Prepare Damaged Tube
Allow to drain.
Coat the tube internal surfaces with a film of CoMat 10-042 OIL.
Melt the CoMat 02-347 METALLIC FILLER and allow it to flow gently into the tube.
If you will not use a bending mandrel in the tube when you bend the tube, do the subsequent procedure.
SUBTASK 70-35-24-350-010 Prepare Repair Part
Pre-heat the tube to 122 deg F (50 deg C).
As an alternative to a bending mandrel in the tube, it is permitted to use CoMat 02-347 METALLIC FILLER in the tube. Refer to Step.
Use suitable lubrication and bending mandrels or blocks.
Bend the tube to suit location, as necessary.
SUBTASK 70-35-24-350-011 Shape the Tube
Dilute to a concentration of 500 gms per litre.
Refer to SPM TASK 70-33-89-100-501.
Other brazed tube features that do not require to be replaced must be protected from acid attack.
Remove any residues of metallic filler which may remain in the tube by filling the tube with or immersing the tube in nitric acid solution.
If the tube is filled with metallic filler from Step, do the subsequent procedure.
SUBTASK 70-35-24-350-012 Remove the Metallic Filler
Refer to SPM TASK 70-31-02-310-501-001, SUBTASK 70-31-02-120-001.
Prepare the surfaces for weld.
Use chemical cleaning equipment.
Refer to SPM TASK 70-11-26-300-503.
Clean the repair area.
Thickness of Tee ring allows for weld shrinkage at each joint.
Assembly will therefore be oversize on length at this stage.
Refer to TASK 70-35-24-300-501 (REPAIR 001), for repair parts.
For orbital welding assemble the tube portions in the jig with the replacement section and two appropriate sized Tee rings in the correct position.
For manual welding assemble the tube portion in the jig with the replacement section in the correct position.
Refer to SPM TASK 70-31-02-310-501-001.
Tack weld the components.
CoMat 03-204 WELDING FILLER WIRE if required
Filler wire
NOTE
Refer also to SPM TASK 70-31-02-310-501-001.An orbital weld will give a neater result, but is not mandatory.Use orbital welding equipment. To be determined by a suitable test piece.
Torch, Electrode, Argon backing flow, Argon torch flow, and Current
SUBTASK 70-35-24-310-005 Weld the Components
Use CoMat 05-135 POLISHING BOB or similar.
Remove weld discoloration by lightly polishing.
SUBTASK 70-35-24-140-003 Clean the Repair Area
Refer to SPM TASK 70-31-02-310-501-001.
Visually examine and measure the dimension using the jig.
SUBTASK 70-35-24-220-004 Examine the Repair
Use CoMat 06-063 FLUORESCENT PENETRANT (POST-EMULSIFIED MEDIUM SENSITIVITY) or CoMat 06-064 FLUORESCENT PENETRANT (WATER WASHABLE MEDIUM SENSITIVITY), with penetrant crack test equipment.
Cracks are not permitted.
Refer to SPM TASK 70-23-05-230-501.
Do a local penetrant crack test on the weld.
SUBTASK 70-35-24-230-004 Do a Crack Test
Refer to SPM TASK 70-26-01-260-501 and SPM TASK 70-31-02-310-501-003, SUBTASK 70-31-02-260-003.
Radiographically examine the weld.
SUBTASK 70-35-24-260-003 Radiographically Examine the Weld
SUBTASK 70-35-24-780-004 Do an Air Leak Test on the Tube

WARNING
BLEED ALL THE AIR FROM THE TUBE BEFORE THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST IS STARTED.
WARNING
MAKE SURE THAT THE SAFETY GUARDS ARE IN POSITION AROUND THE TUBE BEFORE DOING THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST.
WARNING
STOP THE PRESSURE TEST IF A LEAK IS FOUND. DO NOT REPAIR THE LEAK, OR ADJUST THE ADPATERS OR THE BLANKS WHILST THE TUBE IS PRESSURIZED.
WARNING
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE COMPRESSED AIR. PUT ON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND GOGGLES.
CAUTION
DO NOT PRESSURIZE THE TUBE ABOVE THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE GIVEN. IT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUBE. IF THE PRESSURE IN THE TUBE GETS TO MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM GIVEN, REJECT THE TUBE.Connect the tube to the hydraulic pressure test rig.
SUBTASK 70-35-24-780-007 Do a Hydraulic Pressure Test (If Required)
Use electrolytic etch equipment.
Alternatively it is permitted to use vibro-engraving equipment on cast or forged surfaces only.
Refer to SPM TASK 70-09-00-400-501, SUBTASK 70-09-00-400-001.
Make a mark VRS7001/4 adjacent to the part number.
