Screens/meshes shall be re- installed after flushing but before testing. During flushing temporary strainers shall be retained. These shall be removed, cleaned and reinstalled afte flushing, but, before testing. In case an equipment such as column, vessel, exchanger etc. forms part of piping circuit during flushing, this shall be done with the approval of Engineer- in - Charge. However equipment thus included in the circuit, shall be completely cleaned and dried with comprss4ed air, after flushing is completed. During flushing discharged water/air shall be drained at the place directed the Engineer- in - Charge. If necessary, proper temporary drainage shall be provided by the contractor.
