    Welding L-80 Type-1 Tubing to AISI 4130 Hammer Union

    Dear All, We need to weld an L-80 Type-1 tubing to an AISI 4130 Hammer Union. This assembly will be used on a well testing package vent/flare line. We already have the WPS and supporting PQR for base metal AISI 4130 or its equivalent. Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) will be carried out, and...

    Heater Burner Ex Rating Requirements.

    Hello All, Would you agree with the below: In an oil and gas plant, the decision to use an explosion-proof (Ex) rated dual-fuel burner (for gas and diesel) depends on the classification of the hazardous area where the burner will be located. The Ex rating is often required for equipment in...

    Category M (ASME B31.3)

    Dear All, Is it correct to assume that a wet sour gas with 20% H₂S and 40% CO₂ could potentially fall under Category M (ASME B31.3) due to the high hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) content?

    Fired Heaters - Purge Steam

    Dear All, According to Section 15.3 of API Standard 560, for forced-draft systems, the forced-draft fan can be used to purge the firebox in lieu of purge steam. Does the API text refer to diesel fuel or gaseous fuel?

    H2S Partial Pressure.

    Thank you, Pierre. Hello George, The mole fraction of H2S in the gas is 10% - this is based on the gas composition / samples. So, as mentioned above. Multiphase flowline: 6-inch flowline System pressure (Flowing wellhead pressure: 500 Psi) GOR: 1500 SCF/BBL Crude oil flowrate: 5,000 barrels...

    H2S Partial Pressure.

    Hi Pierre, I really need your help on this: I calculated the partial pressure of H2S for systems with a gas phase. I now want the calculation for the following: 6-inch flowline System pressure (Flowing wellhead pressure: 500 Psi) GOR: 1500 SCF/BBL Crude oil flowrate: 5,000 barrels per day H2S...

    H2S Partial Pressure.

    Dear All, We have a 6-inch flow line, oil flow rate is 5,000 bopd and GOR 1500 SCF/BBL. The flowing wellhead pressure is 500 P.s.i.g. what is the H2S partial pressure if the H2S is 20%?
