Re: [MW:15072] RE: 15059] expansion joints

Dear Dr. Gendia
 
Many thanks for your kind response....
 
The problem is I do not have 100 meter distance to do my expansion loop. My client asks me every day to use the available expansion joint in Iraq, which is longitudinal only without lateral. That makes me think about using of an expansion loop to overcome the problem of lateral expansion...
 
Thanks again ....

Dear College

 

To have a proper answer we need to have the ISO of the inlet line with all dimensions and curbs angles , the fixed points and ends , the flow rates and pressure in order to calculate the required expansion joints required.

But if these data would be hard to get in the mean time. Practically least to have the line  diagram between last curb /or fixed joint before Tank inlet.

Any way if you are within 100 meters you could use one expansion Loop for safety.

 

 

Best rgrds

Dear Experts...

 

I need to minimize the number of expansion joints in 8 and 12 inch oil pipe used in feeding up a storage tank with 5000 cubic meters ..... I think the using of loop expansion can solve the problem...... Would you please help me in getting some criteria...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
