To ensure that Electrical Conduit Installation is performing safely, efficiently and in accordance with good working practice, as per Saudi Aramco Job Specifications. The method statement is intended to provide general application guidance and establish controls during preparation and installation.
EMT shall be listed as meeting the requirements of ANSI C80.3. Free of Damage – Electrical materials shall be free of damage.
Circular cross section: Electrical metallic tubing shall have a circular cross section sufficiently accurate to permit the application of identified EMT fittings.
Protective coating for corrosion resistance: (1. The exterior surface shall be either thoroughly and evenly coated with metallic zinc or protected with an ACRC. 2. The interior surface shall be protected by a zinc or an organic coating. The interior coating shall have a smooth continuous surface. An occasional variation due to uneven flow of coating shall be acceptable.)
FAQ:
What is the NEC code for EMT conduit?
Covered by Article 358 of the NEC, EMT is available in trade sizes 1/2 through 4. The outside is galvanized for corrosion protection and the inside has an approved corrosion-resistant organic coating. EMT is installed by use of set-screw or compression-type couplings and connectors.
Where is EMT conduit used?
Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT):
Thin-walled and unthreaded, EMT is typically made of coated steel and used in place of GRC in commercial and industrial applications, though it is commonly found in residential applications as well.
How to secure EMT conduit?
Straps wrap around the EMT and attach to the mounting surface with screws. Hangers provide a hanging point for the EMT, useful in overhead installations. Clamps: Offer a secure way to hold EMT in place, especially where multiple conduit runs are parallel or where EMT is exposed to vibration.
