The code below requires stations to be pressure tested to at least class 3 location requirements. What constitutes station piping? I'd assume everything downstream of the inlet valve, but I've seen nothing clearly defining that boundary.

I was fortunate and ran into the same piece of equipment while recently reviewing another site's photos. Mystery solved. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=64abe9c9-fb5f-434e-b0e2-59612822f83a&file=Example_3.JPG
I found a covered device while looking through some photos and I'm having a difficult time pinpointing what exactly it is. There appears to be a handle and potentially a bleed port. Based off location, a blowdown would make sense, but I've never seen this sort of equipment for that process. Any...
Thanks BigInch.
pennpiper,
You're right, there are important constraints that I'm not currently considering. I should have prefaced this by stating that at the moment this is only a feasibility study and there are many other variables that would have to be accounted for if this project were to...
pennpiper,
Thanks for the response.
There's a maximum operating temperature of 130 deg F and it will be low to the ground with horizontal single plane loops. The maximum expansion looks to be roughly 40' given maximum temperature and pressure.
There's many ways of handling this, but I'm more...
I'm a young engineer in an environment lacking of pipe stress experience. To this point I've been responsible for pipe stress analysis of O&G facilities. I've picked up all I currently know from these forums, textbooks recommended on here, and through pipe stress programs. I've gotten by fine...
