I have had this problem from time to time. Jop's method of a secondary KO Drum is best and safest and should be the first choice. I have however had t...
Generally speaking you place a check valve where it is not desirable to have backflow. This is common in some instances like pumps where we don't want...
That is why you have a Plot Plan. You can then do a routing study or transposition. This can be complimented with some hand drawn Isos to establish a ...
Pipe rack modules would usually be spaced 6M apart. The field weld is on the overhanging pipe between modules of 3M. Sloping lines are not an issue as...
I notice you come from Calgary Flow8. As you are aware much of the work that we do is modularised which breaks out into module - shop and stick built ...
In some cases if the pipe spec allows it you may be able to insert the TI on an elbowlet.
Don't pocket the kicker line at the pig trap. Make sure there is enough barrel length for the pig including smart pigs. Set closure end at vehicle hei...
If the Condensate drains down the well then there is no danger. It is when condensate gathers and ponds that water hammer can occur. If the Condensate...
I have used them where I'm in a tight spot and put a drain on an eccentric reducer FOB. They were large diameter reducers.
11echo nailed it. The pipe basically has to be stress relieved due to the affected heat zone due to welding. This is safer to have that minmum pup len...
I have used both Pinch valves and kife gate valves in slurry service. The knife gates tend to work better with large pneumatic actuators for piping wh...
Very good description Jop and is still how we do it today with some minor adjustments as per individual client and project requirements. On some of th...
It also depends on your budget at FEED stage. I have been on large projects where we built a 3D model to do the MTO for the owners. If there are a lot...
A steam line can be buried for 500 feet or so in a sleeve but the stress must be calculated and handled within that sleeve. You may get uplift and req...
If the commodity is high pressure, high temp steam of say 320 degrees C then I agree there should be no flanges. A line like that would have all welde...
