Hi LittleInch,
I have a distributed impressed current cathodic protection system for underground (ductile iron) fire network for power plant, the terminal points with fire buildings networks haven't insulation kits between the U/G and A/G networks. I asked the cathodic supplier for this concern...
what is the minimum allowed distance to assemble 2 elbows 90 degree (bell and spigot), ductile iron, 12", underground, used for fire system, working pressure 10 bar.
For this case, i have a distribution chamber which is continuously filled with water with head 7m to feed a clarifier with head 6m. my concern is the pressure for point A in this drawing .
if it will be the difference between the two levels or will be the total head in the distribution...
It is mentioned in our company document to use electric-resistance welded pipe i indoor application for fire fighting, but when i use NFPA 13, i found that it is applicable but with ASTM A135 while my document say that it should be A53.
note:
the connection i grooved not welded for sizes larger...
