Dear friends,
I am just wondering if the procedure from design phase till fabrication completion is similar of what we have in Alberta Canada.
You register your design with ABSA and obtain a CRN and then fabricator builds the vessel and fill out the Form U1 or U1A and ultimately ABSA Inspector...
dear JStephen,
you exactly pointed to the part that i have problem with.
to my understanding the forces i can see are :
- weight of the pipe and its accessories like swivel joint, elboe
- wieght of the floats and their accessories
- buoyance force of the pipe due to its volume of the thickness...
also could yoy please tell me if this equation is correct:
volume of the floats* density of the liquid = weight of the suction pipe and accessories + weight of the floats
if the suystem is fully submerged.
The application is to suck the fluid which is Diluted Bitumen (Dilbit) from the highest level ina tank with 200 feet dia and 60 feet height as the fluid is highly contained water and sludges and client is trying not to suck those two useless contents.
Gent's,
thanks for the prompt reply.
i am looking for advise.
we have a client who has installed a floating suction in his tank amd the operation group at site are saying that the downstream punps are sucking gas'air and cavitate.
the existing system is 36" size and the floats are located...
