Hi everyone,
Does anyone know What table in B31.3 can the Material's Allowable Stress (Tensile & Yield) for 2" SA-178-A schedule 40 with design temperature 700 F is found?
Thanks in advance
Richard
Hello,
Does anyone know how long it takes to obtain US. Army Corps. of Engineers permit for a 10" one mile Nat Gas open trench pipeline in LaPorte Texas?
Thanks
The GTN tariff specifies a minimum gross heating value of 995 Btu/scf.
What is the temperature basis of this value? Is it the common US STP of 60°F?
thanks,
richard
Hello everyone,
I am working on a project to construct a pipeline that runs for 5 miles between two terminal to transport Natural Gasoline. The whole pipeline will be buried underground with certain bored sections (ie HDD bores under the river).
Can someone please advise what type of pipes is...
Hello everyone,
I was asked to add an RODI spec/requirements to a 150# Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy (RTR) specification. My client requested to prepare Piping Specification for FRP pipe specific to RO and DI water service.
Can someone please point me in the right direction, I was unable to...
Hi everyone,
Existing centrifugal pump is rated at 800 gpm.
The problem is that this pump have to go long distances to reach the tank and the measured flow rate is measured to be 25 - 400 gpm due to frictional losses in the fittings.
No datasheets or pump curve available - thus the question...
Hello everyone,
I am trying to increase to Maximum allowable working pressure provided in Appendix F.4.1.
F.4.1 says that the maximum design pressure for a tank that has been constructed can be calculated using the following formula but subject to the limitations of Pmax in F.4.2
F.4.2 says...
Hi,
The problem is that the MAWPs on API 650 Storage tanks are too low to be able to utilize conventional conservation/emergency vents.
It was suggested by the client to increase the allowable working pressure and lower the operating pressure of the flare/vapor combustor header.
Can anyone...

Hello everyone,
I am getting an extremely high number when trying to calculate the internal design pressure (in of water) as per API 650 Appendix F.4.1.
Per Appendix F.4.1 the internal design pressure shall be calculated using the following equation:
P=(0.962*A*Fy*tanO)/D2
where:
A = area...
Hi,
I am trying to calculate the wind moment applied on vertical tanks based on API 650.
Per API 650 sec 5.2.1.k ([18 lbf/ft2][V/120]2) on vertical projected areas of cylindrical surfaces and ([30 lbf/ft2][V/120]2) uplift on horizontal projected areas of conical or doubly curved surfaces...
Can anyone advise how to calculate the number of course shell required in a Tank design based on the 1 foot method described in API 650?
Thanks,
Richard
