    Pipe Size on Existing Drawings

    I'm guessing Snickster's answer is correct. Don't forget the pipe insulation. It could be 1.5" to 3" thick.

    Wafer check valve with half groove threaded holes of both flanges

    First obvious question: what is the brand and model number for the check valve?

    PUMP SELECTION

    The question seems to be, "Can I join together pipes of two different diameters with a reducer".

    How is AI being used in your Piping career?

    So, if a Large Language Model finds that the majority of resources scanned say that 2+2=7, the ChatGPT AI will report that 2+2=7?

    Filling a tank to 100% capacity

    "Ullage is the volume which is left empty in a tank so that there is space for the liquid in the tank to expand."

    CAESAR II : How to include piping files with relative path ?

    "TELETRAVAIL" translates to "distance work"; is it possible this file is on a remote server intended for work-from-home?

    Jump over piping

    From my refinery drawing office days many years ago a jumpover was a piping interconnection requested by operations in order to push product somewhere not originally intended.

    28 inch pipe is not seen in the chart

    "Buy a reducer" Yeah, not to mention availability of fittings and valves in 28", as 1503-44 mentioned.

    Ideal Piping Design, PSA, and BIM Software Set

    Keep in mind that PDMS and SmartPlant (or whatever they're being called these days, gotta keep rebranding so no one knows what you're talking about) are in a completely different league from the other two.

    Forged Branch Outlet Fitting vs. Standard Weldolet

    Are we all talking about the same terms or am I misunderstanding? This image shows a flanged 'pipet' that does save some welding: See http://wfi-intl.com/index.php?page=flanged-pipet-2

    Slip-on Flange to pipe engagement code requirement

    I've seen this specified as being equivalent to the pipe wall thickness.

    What symbols are these? (P&ID)

    Ah, yes, air vent makes more sense than angle valve if that is a pump suction.
  13. Gator

    What symbols are these? (P&ID)

    AV = Angle (control) Valve, I presume. Odd thing that now that P&IDs are always CAD you often find weird symbols. Is it because lesser-experienced people are now doing drawings or using only symbols that came in the box with the software?

    Machined Flanged Pipe Spool

    If the overall length of 11.5" is fixed it will be difficult to use off-the-shelf fittings unless maybe slip-on flanges welded to a reducer.

    Verifying Chilled Water Piping Size

    Are the flanged connections insulated?
  16. Gator

    Unusual Valve Identification

    That looks like a knife gate, often used in pulp and paper.

    P&ID Header / Branch configuration Schematically represented vs actual in the field?

    There are LOTS of things that are done differently now that CAD has taken over, the old timers are retired or gone and software often dictates how things get done.
