    HYDROSTATIC TEST PRESSURE FOR PIPING

    Yes what u have taken is correct one. St/Sd is generally one As Hydrotest is generally room temperature only but chk this with ur boss may be he is suggesting you for difference in test temperature and design temperature. Sachin

    Selection of Branch fittings

    Hi For branching as far as I know ther are following are the options 1) Equal Ts 2) reducing Ts 3) Stub ins ( With or Without reinforcement pads) 4) Half coupling 5) -- lets and ts for U/G services having 45Deg branches ETC ETC But which to use when is there any criteria? I know for a...

    Thermal expansions and contraction

    Yes inshort I need a thermal expansion coefficient of CS and SS based on delta temp. Sachin

    Thermal expansions and contraction

    Is there any thumb rule available for knowing the thermal expansion or contraction (directly propprtional to length and delta T) of routed cs, ss pipes because in 31.3 tables are for mm/100 ft and that also as per temperatures. Sachin

    Spectacle Blind

    In a nut shell it is required for following purposes 1) With valve for double chk of isolation while doing maintenance 2) To cover up the mallfunction of the valve if any 3) To have mental satisfaction that even if by mistake some one opens the valve then the area should not get fluded. 4) Its a...

    Spectacle Blind

    Ok cost business is one thing but it is used in hydrocarbon service also which is most dangerous thing so why not to stop at valve only (e.g. aircoolers isolations) Sachin

    Loads on secondary pipe supports.

    For pipe loads i.e. dead wt loads which includs fluid plus insulation plus thermal stresses due to temp. and not for future loads Sachin

    Inch dia / meter

    Hi I heard that Inch Dia is the term used for welding of pipes. and Inch Meter is the term used in construction purpose Can any body explain those terms. Sachin

    Loads on secondary pipe supports.

    Is there any thumb rule, guide line, notings available for calculating the pipe loads on secondary pipe supports (like cantilever brackets, inverted L suppoets, Inverted goal post supports) so that it is sure that the members used for such a supports are safe for such loads (because in the load...

    Spectacle Blind

    What is the exact use of Spectacle Blind? Some times it is used with valves as spectcle blind gives same effect as that of isolation valves then why Spectacle blind is used? If the Spectacle blind is to be closed from open condition is there any spilage of the fluid ( in absence of Valve)? Sachin

    Vertical supporting of pipes

    Can we use same support spacing in vertical pipes as that of horizontal pipes? General guide line for horizantal lines is 2 rest suppots and a guide (on rack)so is there any guide line there for vertical spacing? Any thumb rule for vertical pipes supported from vertical vessel? as in vertical...

    Pipe support material

    Thanks a lot, ok it is concluded that cs shoes can't be directly welded to SS pipe but is it because of metallurgical reasons (chemical comp. of mats.) or differential thermal expansion coefficients or difficulty in welding process? Sachin

    Pipe support material

    Hi I a want to know that can we use same pipe shu material (Shu i.e. inverted T welded to pipe directly) for hot insulated carbon stell pipe and stainless stell pipe? Any criteria behind it? Sachin
