[MW:25997] RE: 25974] Re: 12688] Cross country pipeline hydro test

Hi,

 

Please note a small correction in my earlier mail…

As stated by you there is no restriction of length as per B31.8, - your statement and understanding is correct.

In one of my previous project we had a limitation of 50KM and the same I shared at here.

However in general doing 50KM at a single stretch is a big challenge and other parameters may not support too (particularly in INDIA)

If your project specs are permitting you can do the hydro test more than 50KM also, no code restrict' s you…

 

Thanks & Regards,

Lakshman Kumar B,

Dear Mr Kumar,

 

Would you please elaborate why 50 km is stipulated as the restriction according B31.8? Or did I get it wrong?

Correct me if I'm wrong, ASME B31.8 does not restrict the hydrotest length by number, does it?

 

Regards

Hi,

Good morning to all,

 

1.      Because of safety parameters HT will be done after back filling – as the pipe passes in public areas also, and keeping the excavated sections to open up to HT is also risk, so there is no other option except to do HT after back filling.

2.      Leakage water will come to ground and we can identify – however in water pipe lines – some extent of leakage is acceptable for small leakages (as per CODE), and heavy leakages will be identified by water on the ground.

For oil& Gas, LPG, other services lines so many other options are their to detect(75% of the cases it will be identified in pigging only)

 

3.      Maximum length depends up on service of the line, geographical conditions, site conditions, elevation differences, water availability and disposal situation however maximum length restriction are their in respect codes ex ASME B 31.8 – for oil & gas 50KM is maximum – and this will be given in client spec also.

 

Thanks and Regards................?

Dear All,

In Cross country pipeline

1) Why hydro test is carried out after covering / back filling the complete pipeline?

2) In case of seepage, we' ll get pressure drop on gauges,but how to detect the location of leak?

3) What is the maximum length of pipeline that can be hydro tested at a time?

Thanx & Regds,

PSP

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, ...

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...
