3.2 Current System Design

RIA-JMTC utilizes bulk gasses throughout the facility. The equipment described in this purchase description consists of the current Nitrogen and Oxygen supply in BLDG. 230 as well as a 6000 gallon bulk tank and trifecta that is currently being utilized in Bldg. 212. RIA-JMTC is in the process of relocating equipment and in doing so, will be removing weld operations from B230. As well as moving laser operations into the building. The current system in place does not allow for efficient supply of Oxygen and Nitrogen to the lasers being installed/ relocated. This project aims to move/ utilize onsite equipment where possible to provide bulk gasses for the laser operations moving into BLDG. 230. This will be a phased installation as some components cannot be completed until outside constraints are met.

3.3 Phase 1

3.3.1 PRE-EXISTING LOOP FOR OXYGEN: The contractor shall use the existing 0.75”

Argon/Oxygen shielding gas piping to service Oxygen supply to the lasers being installed.

There are already drops in place on this loop. This is dependent on the removal of the weld operation from BLDG. 230. It is the responsibility of the contractor to perform any necessary purging or cleaning of this line to prepare for service switchover.

3.3.2 PRE-EXISTING LOOP FOR NITROGEN: The contractor shall use the existing 0.75”

Argon/Helium shielding gas piping to service Nitrogen supply to the lasers being installed.

There are already drops in place on this loop. This is dependent on the removal of the weld operation from BLDG. 230. It is the responsibility of the contractor to perform any necessary purging or cleaning of this line to prepare for service switchover.

3.3.3 NEW OXYGEN PIPEWORK: In addition to utilizing the already existing piping loop, the contractor shall also install piping down the center columns of the building. This equates to approximately 450 ft. of pipe. The contractor shall be responsible for providing drops on the columns as well as connecting the newly installed pipe to the current loop and supply equipment. The inclusion of drops and supply line implementation equates to approximately

450 ft. of additional piping. It is the responsibility of the contractor to determine the accurate amount of piping needed to create a fully functioning system.

They shall be ¼ turn off ball valves of either brass, bronze, or stainless steel constructions and shall include copper tube extensions provided by the manufacturer. The ball valves shall permit in-line serviceability.

3.3.4 NEW NITROGEN PIPEWORK: In addition to utilizing the already existing piping loop, the contractor shall also install piping down the center columns of the building. This equates to approximately 450 ft. of pipe. The contractor shall be responsible for providing drops on the columns as well as connecting the newly installed pipe to the current loop and supply equipment. The inclusion of drops and supply line implementation equates to approximately

450 ft. of additional piping. It is the responsibility of the contractor to determine the accurate amount of piping needed to create a fully functioning system.

3.3.4.1 Piping shall be 0.75” Cu type “K” cleaned for nitrogen service and capped. “K” represents the tubing code for the copper tubing which signifies the thicker wall of tubing.

3.3.4.2 Ball Valves shall be installed at each drop. Ball valves shall have <0.5 dP at maximum flow. They shall be ¼ turn off ball valves of either brass, bronze, or stainless steel constructions and shall include copper tube extensions provided by the manufacturer. The ball valves shall permit in-line serviceability.

3.3.4.3 The contractor shall provide accumulators where needed to reduce pressure drop to ensure appropriate inlet pressures to the lasers.

3.3.5 FILTERS: The Oxygen and Nitrogen services supplied to the laser inlets must include filter assemblies made up of a pre-filter and a final filter. These filter assemblies must be included on every drop for the lasers.

3.3.5.1 Oxygen Filter: The pre-filter and final filter shall be the same filter installed in series to minimize any potential particulate contamination
