    above ground painting systems for pipelines (Natural Gas)

    I think that I never specified about where I would use this. This is for natural gas, carbon steel pipe above ground.

    above ground painting systems for pipelines (Natural Gas)

    Thanks to everyone, I found an image in Spanish that I used to use in Mexico in my old work, but I would like to found something in English. I think that everything comes from ISO as BCD said. Thanks

    above ground painting systems for pipelines (Natural Gas)

    Maybe I saw a chart from my last company that was for example (no real): System Number: 1 / Application: If the environmental is salty and humidity with temperatures of 80 Celsius / Surface preparation: Near white blast cleaning / Primer coat: Polyamine/ Intermediate coat: None / Finish coat...

    above ground painting systems for pipelines (Natural Gas)

    Hello guys, good morning I hope you are well and had a great thanksgiving if you celebrated. I have a question about if you have seen a table where you could check the different types of environmental and you could check what is the best system of painting for above ground painting? I...

    Help please with Control Flow Valve + Ultrasonic Meter AGA 9

    Hi everyone I'm going to update this thread or issue quickly. I understand to everyone who said, that move the valve and the meter it would be quickly and better, yes I agree with you, but we didn't have time to do that because we needed to open the valve for our costumer. Our provider told...

    Help please with Control Flow Valve + Ultrasonic Meter AGA 9

    Thank you for your answers. I can't move mis package between them because everything is built. I only have the conditioner that is neccesary like AGA 9 says, betwen first and second spool, upstream of meter. So i need to answer that the control flow valve doesn't affect the measurement, but i...

    Help please with Control Flow Valve + Ultrasonic Meter AGA 9

    Hi everyone I have a question about if I have a Control flow valve and after I have your ultrasonic meter in a process of natural gas. A transporter of natural gas told us that if we have that configuration it's possible that poor measurement occur. I don't know if it's right, because i...

    Two different thickness Two different Materials (x65 - x70)

    @LittleInch Ohh yeah yeah, I got it. Yes i did the calculation and still if i reduce my thickness to 0.250'' I meet all parameters. This because i got a location class as 2. @1503-44 I didn't understand your comment.

    Two different thickness Two different Materials (x65 - x70)

    @LittleInch Thank you, but in a point you say: My design pressure is now a little reduced. But no, because my thickness 0.250'' is for material X70 and my thickness 0.432'' is for X65 so I'm okay with 0.250 and for 0.432'' I'm okay too because is a bigger thickness than 0.250''. I think that

    Hello, I need to choose the righ

    You need to calculate always with the critical minimum pressure and maximum flow. After that I don’t know a limit of velocity. For example I know that ultrasonic meters you need to have a velocity as minimum 3 ft/sec and maximum 85 ft/sec But for example in a main pipeline in Mexico our...

    Two different thickness Two different Materials (x65 - x70)

    Good night friends My friend to other department doesn’t buy a Flange because I don’t know why, but now we have a problem because we need to weld a spool Saturday and we have only the next materials: We have a 6 inches pipe with a thickness of 0.250'' and it’s API 5L X70, and he doesn’t buy...

    Difference Between API 5L / ASTM 53 / A106

    I've prefered to say no, but maybe I'm doing bad. But well, now in short words if someone offer me A105 instead of API 5L could be accepted but if someone offer me A53 instead of API 5L I'll say no. But if someone offer me a pipe that accomplish with specification A53/ A105/API 5L I'll accept, i...

    What is the difference between PSL 1 and PSL2?

    Good afternoon to all I have a question about Pipe PSL and PSL2, i work in a Natural Gas Company. Before that i enter to this company my coworkers requested the pipeline with specification PSL 1 and I don't know when they started to requested pipe with specification PSL2. I read about that and...

    Difference Between API 5L / ASTM 53 / A106

    Hello everyone, I'm here again because i have a question about differents types of pipe. Today a provider wanted to supply a pipe with a different specifications that i put in my request. I was requesting a pipe of 10 inches API 5L Grade B Sch 80 for my City Gate and Interconection with...

    Two different thickness Flange and Pipeline

    The type of material of my flange and my pipe its similar, everything is the same only different is the Thickness. I can't buy another Flange because the delivery time is very long and we need to finish the project on January so is more easy use those flanges. Thank you a lot

    Two different thickness Flange and Pipeline

    Good Afternoon Engineers I have a 16 inch flange with a thickness of 0.500'', is it possible to make a counter bevel and leave it up to 0.375'' which would be a decrease of 0.125'' (1/8''). If it is possible and I have my flange thickness at 0.375", can I weld to a 0.344" pipe? I read the ASME...
