@SNORGY - Thanks for the inch of confidence!
@XL83NL - Thanks for the thought. To hydro test before cutting of hole is to test the olet welding. No way of hydro testing with the main pipe. I am safe external pressure in order not to collapse the main pipe area enclosed by the olet. 304.1.3...
Hi everyone!
Has anyone did hydro-testing of branch spool welded to the run pipe with weld-o-let, before cutting the hole from the main pipe?
Let me explain further:
1) 3" weld-o-let to be welded to a 10" run pipe.
2) Weld neck flange is welded to the weld-o-let. A valve will be fitted to the...
Thank you for your responses, they are all warming and thawing away the frost!
TBP: Yes, the minimum ambient temp. can be -34 deg C (-93.2 deg F).
Chris/MintJulep: I did consider the heat losses from the installed equipment and from the ore processing. I based the ACH to the least I can get...
Good day fellows,
I am currently involve in the engineering of an ore processing plant located in a sub-arctic region where the min/max temperature is -20/20C and the mean ambient year round is -1.7C. With chill factor, the ambient drops to -34C (as it was a couple of days back when I check...
The projections between two anchors being considered are:
x=2363 mm
y=3226 mm
z=1488 mm
This comes out after algebraically adding all the piping segments on the pipe spool roll being considered, done for each corresponding axis.
I simply assumed that U = SQRT(x^2+y^2+z^2)= 4227 mm
To be use...

I am not sure whether I have determined the correct anchor distance U in my calculations to check the requirement for Flexibility Analysis as per 319.4.
Question: In determining U (straight line distance from anchor to anchor), does it mean the diagonal distance between...
