FOREWARD
In order to carry out standard shipbuildingimprove the quality of shipbuildingshorten the
period of shipbuildingin year 2003Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Company Limited
following called as SWSStandard Committee organized the complication of SWS Building
Technological Usual Practice Manualfollowing called as Manualand revised its 2003
edition in October 2004
Since the publication of the Manualit has benefited the communication with the ship’s
owners and the classification societiesand it has also played an important role in normalizing
production technologies and improving the shipbuilding quality of SWS
With the development of the shipyard shipbuilding technology is improved continuously
Thereforein October 2007the SWS Standard Committee convened a meeting specific to
revising the manual and made the decision of revising the ManualWith the coordination ofall the departments concerned the revision work was finished in April2008
On the basis of the previous technological standards, three (3) new technological standards
including the Rudder Installation Technology Standard have been added in the Manual
And nowtotally 26 enterprise standards are selected consisting of 4 items for hull part, 5 items
for welding part, 3 items for hull outfitting , 5 items for machinery part, 3 items for painting part,
and 6 items for electrical partFor using conveniently, the Manual is written in both Chinese
and English
During revising the manual ,we got the huge support and coordination of all the branches
in the design department and also got the company responsible leaders’ and design department
leaders’ concern and helpWe express our thanks here
The Manual was planned and guided by Mr. Li Gaoxing in the design departmentMr.
Dai Xiaohu, Mr. Shen Zhiping, Ms. Xu Yuzhen, Ms. Wu Xin in the Standard Team of the design
department were in charge of compiling the Manual
When the Manual (2008 edition) is issued, the previous Manual (2004 edition) will
be invalid
The Standard Team of the design department is the permanent organization of the SWS
Standard Committee, which is in charge of the issue, implementation, maintenance and
amendment work of the ManualImproving ideas and suggestions from the Users of the
Manual are valuable and welcomed And please contact the Standard Team of the designdepartment in timeThe extension telephone number is 8755The liaison man is Mr. Dai

HULL STRENGTH STRUCTURE OPENING AND
REINFORCEMENT
Reference Standard
Q/SWS52-014-2006
1 SCOPEThis standard defines general opening principles, stress zone classification, opening and opening
reinforcement for hull strength structures.This standard applies to the detailed design and production design of hull structures.
2 HULL STRENGTH STRUCTUR GENERAL OPENING PRINCIPLES
In general, opening in stress concentration area of hull structure shall be avoided as practicable as possible.
Hull structure stress distribution is shown in Figure 1. The left figure shows the maximum bending momentappears at both ends of the beam, and there is no any stress at the locations that are 0.25L to both ends. The right
figure shows the maximum bending moment appears near the face plate, and there is no any stress in the middleof the web. Therefore, the opening for a transverse beam should try to be in the middle region of the beam web
and at a location that is 0.25L or 0.75L to the end of the beam.
Fig. 1 Hull structure stress distribution3 HULL STRENGTH STRUCTUR STRESS ZONE TYPE

7.4 Air testing of compartments (A)7.4.1 Air testing method is that the compressed air is filled into the closed compartment and the testing liquid(such as soap liquid etc.) is sprayed upon the surface of weld to be tested so as to check whether the leakageoccurs on the weld.7.4.2 Air is filled into the compartment to be tested through a specially fabricated manhole cover (on which theconnections of air filling pipe, pressure gauge, safety valve etc. are fitted).7.4.3 For big compartment such as deep tank etc., in order to prevent accident, pressure gauges and safety valuesshall be fitted in two places, the compressed air should be controlled by pressure regulator or reducing valve.7.4.4 Pressure for air testing is 0.02MPa, the air inlet valve shall be closed after the pressure reaches a requiredvalue, then observe whether the pressure drops quickly, if it is really true, it shall be checked whether there ismiss-welding or not tight closure. If the pressure is kept constant and there is no obvious leakage after holding the pressure for 60minutes, the pressure shall be decreased to 0.015MPa and the soap liquid shall be sprayed upon thewelds to check whether the leakage occurs.7.4.5 For the weld which is difficult to be visually checked, the spraying of the soap liquid shall be repeatedseveral times, if no air bubble occurs, the weld is referred as acceptable.7.4.6 During testing, the unfrozen soap liquid shall be used when environmental temperature is below 0.7.5 Fillet weld air testing (A)7.5.1 Fillet weld air testing method is that the root of unbevelled fillet weld of watertight hull member (such asfloor plate, bulkhead etc.) is filled with air and the testing liquid is sprayed upon the outside surface of fillet weldto check whether the leakage occurs.
7.5.2 The fillet joints to be air-tested shall be all fillet welded joints forming boundaries of the compartment.The assembling quality of fillet welded joints should conform to the requirements of Q/SWS 60-001.2-2003>.7.5.3 The complementary plate of longitudinal such as angle steel, bulb flat bar, T-steel etc. which penetrateswatertight members must be one-piece.7.5.4 Installing type of connecting plate for fillet weld air testing is as shown in Figure 1, the connection ofcompressed air inlet pipe is fitted on the connecting plate at one end of the fillet weld, the connection of the pressure gauge is fitted on the connecting plate at the other end of fillet weld, and the air stop holes are cut at twoends of the fillet weld and be welded up, so that the fillet weld to be tested is completely sealed.
Figure 1 Type of connecting plate
7.5.5 The pressure for fillet weld air testing is 0.015MPa ~ 0.02MPa.
7.5.6 Tightness testing and examination method of fillet welds7.5.6.1 Open the ball valve and fill the compressed air into the gaps of fillet weld root. When the indicated valueof pressure gauge exceeds 0.015MPa, close the ball valve and hold the pressure for 15 minutes.7.5.6.2 Check whether the indicated pressure of pressure gauge drops, if the pressure drops obviously within 15minutes, check whether leakage occurs on connection or weld and find out the cause of pressure drop. If the pressure is kept constant, coat the surface of fillet weld with the soap liquid and check whether the air bubblesoccur on the weld. When no air bubbles occur on the weld, the weld is referred as acceptable.7.5.7 During testing, if the leakage is found, it shall be marked by chalk and the weld is repaired afterdischarging the air, the length of repair weld shall be more than 50 mm, the vacuum testing shall be carried outafter weld repairing.7.5.8 After testing is completed, the connection of compressed air pipe and the connection of pressure gauge onthe connecting plates must be fully welded.7.6 Vacuum testing (V)
The fillet joint welds and butt welds to be vacuum-tested must be welds of watertight hull member forming
the boundaries of compartment.7.6.1 In order to see clearly the leakage on the weld, vacuum box must be transparent.7.6.2 Evacuation device is as shown in Figure 2.

7.6.3 The pressure for vacuum testing is 0.015MPa ~ 0.02MPa.7.6.4 The method of vacuum testing is that the weld is coated with soap liquid and covered by a vacuum box,then open the ball valve and check whether the bubbles occur on the weld. If no air bubbles occur, weld is referred
as acceptable.7.6.5 During testing, if the air bubbles are found, the weld shall be repaired. The length of repair weld shall bemore than 50mm. The re-testing shall be performed after weld repairing.7.7 Magnetic particle testing7.7.1 Magnetic particle testing method is that the magnetic medium is sprayed upon the surface of magnetizedweld and the nature, shape and size of defect are concluded through visually inspecting the distribution ofmagnetic particle on the weld.7.7.2 For partial deep and full penetration fillet welds on the boundaries of compartment which are required to be tightness-tested, the fillet weld air testing may not be adopted. The magnetic particle testing shall be used tocheck the tightness of welds.
7.7.3 Magnetic particle testing must be approved by Surveyors and Representatives of Owner.7. 8 Liquid penetration testing
7.8.1 Liquid penetration testing method is that the dye penetrant is sprayed upon the weld surface to demonstratethe nature, shape and size of weld defects.7.8.2 For the area where partial welds are required to be tightness-tested, in case it is unable to carry out thevacuum testing or fillet weld air testing, the liquid penetration testing may be adopted.7.8.3 Adoption of liquid penetration testing must be approved by Surveyors and Representatives of Owner.7.8.4 Filling water testing, hose testing, air testing of compartment, fillet weld air testing, vacuum testing,magnetic particle testing and dye penetration testing shall be carried out in accordance with the tightness testdrawings of each ship.8 INSPECTION8.1 After each tightness testing is completed, test department shall inform QC Department in written and QCDepartment shall notify Surveyors and Representatives of Owner to carry out the site-inspection. If no leakage isfound, this tightness testing is finished.8.2 If leakage is found in some location of weld during inspection by Representatives of Owner and Surveyors,
this weld shall be repaired, and tightness testing of this location shall be carried out again after repairing iscompleted, the repaired weld must be subjected to inspection by owner and surveyors.

test schedules, error check and record The rule apply to the passenger ships and the cargo ship having a length, as defined in the International
Convention on Load Lines 1966, of 24m and upwards.2 TERMS AND DEFINITION
The following terms and definition apply to this rule.2.1 Lightship condition
A ship complete in all respects, but without consumables, stores, cargo, crew and effects, and without anyliquids on board except thatmachinery and piping fluids, such as lubricants and hydraulics,are at operating levels.3 TEST PURPOSE AND CALCULATION PRINCIPLE 3.1 Test purpose
The test is intended to determine the position of the center of gravity and light weight of the ship.
Prepare the inclining test report according to the inclining test record.
3.2 Calculation principle 3.2.1 Calculate the metacenter height according to formula1
GM=M/(·tgθ) 1 whereGM——Transverse metacenter height above vertical center of gravity (m)
M ——heeling moment t.m
——Displacementin water (t)
θ ——heeling angle (deg.) 3.2.2 Calculate the longitudinal center of gravity according to formula2:
XG=XB+ZG-ZBtgψ 2 whereXG ——longitudinal center of gravity from midshipm positive means forward midship
XB ——longitudinal center of buoyancy from midshipm positive means forward midship
ZG ——vertical center of gravity above baselinem ZB ——vertical center of buoyancy above baselinem
ψ ——trim angledeg. positive means trim by stern 3.2.3 Calculate the vertical center of gravity according to formula3:
ZG=KM-GM 3
whereZG ——vertical center of gravity above baselinem
KM——Transverse metacenter height above baselinem
GM——Transverse metacenter height above vertical center of gravity (m) 4 ENVIRONMENT CONDITION
4.1 The test should be carried out at weather with wind not exceeding Beaufort scale 3. Otherwise the test can be done if administration agrees.
4.2 The test should be done in outfitting quay. Pay attention to the wind direction and wave direction. Try todone at slack tide.
4.3 There should be enough space to ensure the ship be afloat freely and not touch any other things during the
process of the test.4.4 The ship should be moored in a manner to allow unrestricted heeling. The access ramps should be removed.Power lines, hoses, etc., connected to shore should be at a minimum, and kept slack at all times.
4.5 The mooring lines should be as long as practical. All lines are to be slack, with the ship floating and heeling
freely, when takereading during test.

5 PREPARATION BEFORE TEST
5.1 The test should be carried out after completing as far as possible. The ship should be lightship condition. Allshipyard tools and remainders should be removed from the ship.
5.2 If it is difficult to get to lightship condition, a few value of missing weights and surplus weights is allowed.
But the total value of both should not exceed 1% of the lightship displacement. This doesn’t include the testweights and necessary ballast.
5.3 The day before test, a preliminary survey should be done. The names, weights, vertical and longitudinalcenter of gravity of the surplus and missing weight should be recorded in the table respectively. Referred to the
Appendix A.4. Ship’s conditions should be checked by owner’s representative and Class’s surveyor for theirconformation before commencing of test.5.4 Decks should be free of water. Any rain, snow or ice accumulated on the ship should be removed prior to the
test. All equipments and other things which are liable to swing or moving should be lashed in proper positionsecurely, to prevent from moving or swinging during the test.
5.5 All water or oil in machinery, boiler, piping and system should be of the quantity equivalent to lightship
condition. Relevant valves should be kept closed to avoid the oil, water flowing or losing. Sea chest valves alsoshould be closed. The relative system is allowed to be in working condition if it is necessary for the generator towork during the test.
5.6 The ballast tanks involved in the test and oil tanks allowed to fill oil in should be full. The ballast tanks
should be filled several times to ensure it is full completely. The number of slack tanks should be kept to anabsolute minimum. Effect of the free surface of specific tanks not to be full should be determined.
5.7 Fortest’s accuracy, ballast tanks and oil tanks not involved in the test should be emptied completely tominimize the effect of free surface as far as possible.
5.8 Water or oil which accumulates in the space (including the cofferdam space) except ballast tanks and oiltanks should be removed.
5.9 The ship should be as upright as possible and have sufficient draft so that any abrupt changes in the water plane will be avoided when the ship is inclined from side to side. Ship floating condition can be adjusted by
ballast weight such as ballast water which has known weight and VCG (vertical center of gravity). When notrim or trim is very little, displacement, vertical center of transverse metacenter, longitudinal center of buoyancy
etc can be determined using hydrostatic data according to average corrected draft. A deviation from trim of up to1% of L is normally acceptable when using hydrostatic data. Otherwise, the hydrostatic data should be calculated
for the actual trim. For the ship has design trim, above-mentioned trim requirement base on design trim. 5.10 With inclining weight in the initial position, up to one-half degree of list is acceptable.
5.11 The total weight used should preferably be sufficient to provide a minimum inclination of two degrees anda maximum of four degrees of heel to each side. However, a minimum inclination of one degree to each side may
be accepted for large ships.
5.12 Test weight should be compact and of such a configuration that the VCG (vertical centre of gravity) of theweights can be accurately determined.5.13 Water ballast is generally not acceptable as inclining weight. However, water ballast transfer may be
permitted when it is absolutely impractical to incline using solid weights if acceptable to the administration.
Where water ballast is permitted, the following should be complied with:a) Inclining tanks should be wall-sided and free of large stringers (air pockets).
b) Tanks should be directly opposite to maintain ship’s trim.c) Pipe lines to inclining tanks should be full.
d) All ballast valves should be closed prior to the test. Strictly valve control should be maintained during thetest. If the water is transferred through manifolds or valve boxes, all valves to the branches not used
should be tagged or locked to prevent opening during the test.e) Inclining tanks initial weights and transfer weights should be satisfied with the requirement of maximum
inclining of heel to each side.5.14 Test weight should be divided into four groups with similar shift moments. Certification of the test weights
should be carried out prior to the inclining and be acceptable to the administration. Test weights location shouldavoid the deck to be overloaded and the location should be painted clearly on the deck.
5.15 The heeling angle of the ship to be measured by hanging pendulum. Three sets of hanging pendulum to belocated. They should each be located in an area protected from the wind and as far apart as practical. The
pendulum length (λ) is the perpendicular distance from the nail to the scale gauge. The pendulums should be longenough to give a measured deflection, to each side of upright, of at least 15cm. Generally, this will require a
pendulum length of at least 3m. The pendulum weight should be immersed into the liquid in the trough and nottouch the bottom and side each movement. Pendulum arrangement is simply shown in figure (1) .

5.16 Interphones are provided for communication between central control and each pendulum station and between central control and the test weight position. One person at a central control station should have complete
control over all personnel involved in the test.6 TEST PROCEDURE
6.1 The test should be carried out in presence of administration representative and owner. The test commanderorganizes shipyard, administrationowner and other delegates to check the ship’s status completely together and to
confirm whichhas been satisfied with the test requirement.6.2 During the test, one person as commander in chief should plan the test procedure, give orders to start
reading pendulum gauge and to superintend personnel in place. Furthermore, meet with administrationrepresentative and relative delegates to survey the wind direction, the wind velocity, current, the status of river
surface around and to confirm which is satisfied with the test required condition and mooring status.6.3 The personnel who take part in the inclining test should be in right place and their weights and position
should be recorded. Excess personnel should be away from the ship.
6.4 To get accurate test displacement and buoyancy center, all draft marks (forward, mid ship, and aft) on eachside of the ship should be read accurately. At the same time, the measurement of the density of test area’s watershould be carried out. The data recorded in appendix A.1.
6.5 If the test weight is solid weight, test procedure is showed as fig 2. If the test weight is ballast water, test
procedure is showed as fig 3 (a example of 175k bulk carrier).

Fig. 36.6 When everything and personnel is in place, the test should commence immediately. After the ship is stable,
observers should start reading under the instructions of commander in chief and record the data in appendix A.2.Hereafter, reading and recording should be made for each weight movement. For each movement, the pendulum
gauge reading should be repeated recordedten times when the pendulum is swing by right and left, then theaverage value should be calculated and recorded. At the same time, the incline liquid tanks’ sounding should be
repeated and recorded three times in appendix A.3. Then the average value should be calculated and recorded.
6.7 After each weight movement and prior to each reading, the following should be checked:
athe mooring arrangement should be checked to ensure that the ship is afloat freely.
bwhen the ship heels, the wire for pendulums should be perpendicular and should not touch the scale gauge.
call personnel are in place.6.8 The heeling angle is calculated by the following formula:
tgθ=a/λ 4 where θ ——heeling angle°.
a——the average value of swing of pendulum (m).
λ ——the value of perpendicular distance of pendulum wire from nail to scale gauge (m).

7 TEST ERROR CHECK
7.1 A error check plot should be plot during the test to ensure that acceptable data is being obtained. Theabscissa of the plot will be heeling moment and the ordinate will be the tangent of the heel angle. The error check
plot refer to figure 4
Fig.4
7.2 Plotting the average of the readings after each weight movement. Once any deviation is found, analyze the
reason and determine if part or the entire test to be redone.8 TEST RECORDS
During inclining test, relevant data should be recorded, the records format refer to the Appendix A.
