I will make sure the pump meets NFPA requirements. I don't think they have a loop, but again I won't know until I get there and obtain all data. The water supply is a tank, so I'll also make sure to get the last tank inspection.
Thanks for the valuable information and I'll let you know!
LCREP,
Thank you.
I checked out the FM data sheets and they have some very good information on fire protection/prevention design.
I was also reading API 2510A and it has some good hydraulic requirements. Really, I am more concerned with the hydraulic design of the system and making sure...
Hello all,
I am in charge of reviewing a firewater system for a
propane marine loading terminal. I will be making a field trip to the terminal next week where I will gather all the information necessary for me to properly analyze the system. This includes obtaining the ISO's, P&ID's, fire and...
Yes, you bring up another good point. I am already familiar with the COADE ball-joint article talking about static friction torques. I am trying to obtain the break away torque from the manufacturer. I already modeled them as rigid pieces with cnodes; I will have to put stiffnesses in later.
I...
Thanks KernOily,
You make a good point and I already had these things in mind. Maintenance is definitely an issue. Accesibility is a problem because this line will be below the bridge connecting the wellhead to the platform. But like I mentioned, we expect the thermal growth only during...
Hi,
I am currently designing a "special" expansion loop for the well kill line of an offshore platform. Well kill line comes off wellhead and is about 30' away from platform. According to a wind load analysis made by our civil department, we can expect wellhead displacements of up to 2.5" and...
