3.0 PRESERVATION
3.1 All painted details shall be protected with one coat of transparent rust preventive.
3.2 Other than stainless steel, all tubes and pipes shall be applied with rust preventive coating on
the outside and either with a rust preventive coating or rust inhibitor on the inside  to provide
protection against corrosion for a period of 3 months for out door storage in marine /
industrial atmospheres.  For heat exchanger tubes, rust preventive coating shall given dry or
wet type as specified in BHEL order.
3.3 The ends of the tubes/pipes shall be closed with end caps made of PVC /plastic which should
be securely held so that it will not fall off during transit.
Note: The supplier must specify the type of rust preventive at the time of supply and also the
          method of its easy removal.
4.0 PACKING
4.1 a) Tubes and pipes upto and including 33.4 mm OD and smaller shall be supplied in 
bundles.
b) Tubes and pipes above 33.4 to 114.3 OD shall also be supplied in bundles, whenever 
the wall thickness is less than 6.0 mm.
c) Tubes and pipes of OD above 33.4 mm and wall thickness above 6.0 mm shall be 
supplied loose.
4.2 a) Weight of each bundle shall not exceed 1 metric ton.
b) No wooden pellets should be used to cover the tubes.
c) The bundle must be fastened by using galvanized wire / metal straps.
d) Two straps must be fastened one at each end of the bundle at one metre from the ends.
For the balance length, there shall be a wire bundling at reasonable intervals.
4.3 All the tubes of wall thickness 3.2 mm and below shall be properly packed in wooden crates to
avoid any dent formation and other transit damages to the tubes.
4.4 A packing list, sealed in a thick polythene cover, shall be sent along with each consignment
with the following details:
1.  BHEL order number:
2.  Number of bundles (including serial number also):
3.  Material specification No. and grade:
4.  Size of tube/pipe
