Do you still see these tags on P&ID's or is this something that is no longer current. I understand that some clients require these tags, but I want to get a feel from the general piping population what is done in the 21st century. Especially with the use of intelligent P&ID's, it may sound easy, but it still take a bit of additional effort. What is the norm on your recent projects? valvetags.jpeg]]> Valves Anton Dooley https://pipingdesigners.com/community/valves/manual-valve-tags-on-pids/ Control Valve Assemblies https://pipingdesigners.com/community/valves/control-valve-assemblies/ Thu, 03 Mar 2016 12:46:45 +0000

  • How many tests were done?
  • What were the variable of the tests?
  • Did the actual testing cover the evaluation of all the different variables?
    • Beau-Guss has made his way to the Piping field on a number of occasions and has left his questionable foot prints. The results of these visits (and the invalid ideas) often leave people in a state of outright confusion which results in wasted time, effort and revisions to designs because of the miss-direction. The list of Beau-Gus Piping Ideas includes the following (along with my judgment of them):
    1. Two Fittings (2 elbows, an elbow and a Tee, an elbow and a Weld neck flange, etc) cannot be welded directly together, they must have a Pup Piece between them. (False)
    2. Pump Suction and Discharge lines (implied every pump suction & discharge line) should be fitted with a Flexible Connectors to reduce Forces on the Nozzles. (False)
    3. Pump Suction lines (implied every pump suction line) needs to have 10 pipe diameters of straight run between the reducer and the nozzle flange (5 diameters was later accepted as an alternative). (False)
    4. Pump Discharge lines (implied every pump discharge line) needs to have a minimum of 10 pipe diameters of straight run from the nozzle flange to the reducer or first elbow. (False)
    5. Pump Discharge lines (implied every pump discharge line) shall be fitted with two Check Valves (CkV). These CkV shall be different types and shall have a minimum of 10 pipe diameters straight run upstream of the first CkV, 10 pipe Diameters straight run upstream of the second CkV and 5 pipe diameters straight run down stream of the second CkV. (False)
    6. Strainers in pump suction lines and Steam Turbines supply lines should have a minimum of 10 diameters straight run upstream and down stream. (False)
    7. Pipe Racks (ISBL and OSBL) shall be sloped (graduated elevations) so Steam lines and Flare Lines will drain in the direction of flow. (False)
    I am sure there are others examples of Beau-Guss thinking out there. If you know of any others please feel free to add them to the list.
