CHAPTER 11 - PIPING
Chapter 11
PIPING
Section 1.0 Scope
This chapter provides general and _ specific
requirements not only for plant or building piping but
also for general piping installations. It includes Power
Piping System Design and pipe color coding for safety
and proper fluid identification in the system.
Section 2.0 Definitions
Pipe and Tube ~ The fundamental difference between
pipe and tube is the dimensional standard to which
each is manufactured. A pipe is a tube with a round
cross section conforming to the dimensional
requirements for nominal pipe size as tabulated in
table for Pipe Schedules.
‘A tube is a hollow product of round or any other cross
section having a continuous periphery. Round tube
size maybe specified with respect to any two, but not
all three of the following: outside diameter or bell at
‘one end into which the plain or spigot end of another
piece is inserted when laying. The joint is then made
tight by cement, oakum, lead, or rubber caulked into
the bell around the spigot.
Black Pipe — Stee! pipe that has not been galvanized.
Bell and Spigot Joint - The commonly used joint in
cast-iron pipe. Each piece is made with an enlarged
diameter or bell at one end into which the plain or
spigot end of another piece is inserted when laying,
The joint is then made tight by cement, oakum, lead,
cor rubber caulked into the bell around the spigot.
Bull Head Tee ~ A tee the branch of which is larger
than the run
Butt Weld Joint ~ A welded pipe joint made with the
ends of the two pipes butting each other, the weld
being around the periphery. (Refer to Chapter 14
Section 14.3.3.27 no. 6)
Carbon Steel Pipe - Steel pipe which owes its
properties chiefly to the carbon which it contains.
Check Valve — A valve designed to allow a fluid to
pass through in one direction only. A common type
2n1
has a plate so suspended that the reverse flow aids
gravity in forcing the plate against a seat, shutting off
reverse flow.
Compression Joint ~ A multi-piece joint with cus
shaped threaded nuts which, when tightened
‘compress tapered sleeves so that they form joint
the periphery of the tubing they connect.
Cross-Over - A small fitting with a double offset, or
shaped like the letter U with the ends turned out. It is
only made in small sizes and used to pass the flow of
one pipe past another when the pipes are in the same
plane.
Expansion Loop ~ A large radius bend in a pipe line
to absorb longitudinal expansion in the pipe line due to
heat.
Galvanized Pipe - Steel pipe costed with zinc to
resist corrosion,
Gate Valve - A valve employing a gate, often wedge-
shaped, allowing fluid to flow when the gate is lifted
from the seat. Such valves have less resistance to
flow than globe valves.
Globe Valve - One with a somewhat globe shaped
body with a manually raised or lowered disc which
when closed rests on a seat so as to prevent passage
ofa fluid
Header — A large pipe or drum inio which each of a
group of boilers is connected. Also used for a large
pipe from which a number of smaller ones are
connected in line and from the side ofthe large pipe.
Malleable Iron ~ Cast iron heat-treated to reduce its
brittleness. The process enables the materials to
stretch to some extent and to stand greater shock.
Manifold ~ A fitting with a number of branches in line
connecting to smaller pipes. Used largely as an
interchangeable term with header.
Medium Pressure — When applied to valves and
fitings, implies they are suitable for a working
pressure of from 862 to 1207 kPa, (125 to 175 psi).CHAPTER 11 - PIPING
Mill Length ~ Also known as random length. Run-of-
mill pipe is 4 880 mm to 6 000 mm in length. Some
pipe are made in double lengths of 9 150 to 10 675
mm,
Relief Valve ~ One designed to open automatically to
relieve excess pressure,
Run — A length of pipe made of more than one piece
of pipe; a portion of a fitting having its ends in line or
nearly so, in contradistinction to the branch or side
opening, as of a tee.
Saddle Flange ~ A flange curved to fit @ boiler or tank
and to be attached to a threaded pipe. The flange is
riveted or welded to the boiler or tank.
Screwed Flange — A flange screwed on the pipe
which itis connecting to an adjoining pipe.
Socket Weld ~ A joint made by use of a socket weld
fitting which has a prepared female end or socket for
insertion of the pipe to which it is welded.
Standard Pressure — Formerly used to designate
cast-iron flanges, fittings, valves, etc., suitable for a
maximum working steam pressure of 862 kPa.
Street Elbow — An elbow with male thread on one
end, and female thread on the other end,
Stress-Relieving ~ Uniform heating of a structure or
portion thereof to a sufficient temperature to relieve
the major portion of the residual stresses, followed by
uniform cooling
Wrought Iron — Iron refined to a plastic state in a
Puddling furnace, It is characterized by the presence
of about 3 percent of slag irregularly mixed with pure
iron and about 0.5 percent carbon
Wrought Pipe This term refers to both wrought steel
and wrought iron. Wrought in this sense means
worked, as in the process of forming furnace-welded
pipe from skelp, or seamless pipe from plates or
billets. The expression wrought pipe is thus used as a
distinction from cast pipe. When wrought-iron pipe is
referred to, it should be designated by its complete
name.

pressure. The relief or safety valve shall be
located adjoining or as close as possible to
the reducing valve. Proper protection shall
be provided to prevent injury or damage
caused by escaping fluid from relief or
safety valves if vented to the atmosphere.
The vents shall be of ample size and as
short and direct as possible, The combined
discharge capacity of the relief valves shall
be such that the pressure rating of the lower
pressure piping and equipment will not be
exceeded if the reducing valves sticks open

a. Piping systems are subject to a diversity of
loadings creating stresses of different types
and pattems, of which only the followingCHAPTER 11 - PIPING
more significant ones need generally be
considered in piping stress analysis:
4. Pressure, internal or external
2. Weight of pipe, fitings and valves,
containing fluid and insulation, and
other external loadings such as
wind.
3. Thermal expansion of the line,
The first two loadings produce
sustained stresses which are
evaluated by conventional methods.
The stresses due to thermal
expansion on the other hand, if of
sufficient initial magnitude will be
relaxed as a result of local flow in
the form of yielding or in the form of
creep. The stress reduction which
has taken place will appear as a
stress or reversed sign in the cold
condition.
Materials. The thermal expansion range
shall be determined from the Table
11.6.16.2 as the difference between the unit
expansion shown for the maximum normal-
operating metal temperature and that for the
minimum normal-operating metal
temperature (for hot lines this may usually
be taken as the erection temperature). For
materials not included in this table,
reference shall be made to authority source
data, such as publication of the National
Bureau of Standards. The cold and hot
moduli of elasticity, Ec and Eh, and the
moduli of torsional rigidity, Go and Gh,
respectively, may be taken as the values
shown for the minimum and maximum
normal operating metal temperatures in
Table 11.6.16.2a for ferrous and Table
11.6.16.2b for non-ferrous materials.
For flexibility calculations, Poisson's ratio
may be taken as 0.3 a all temperatures for
all ferrous materials.
The S values, Sc and Sh at the minimum
and maximum operating metal
temperatures, respectively, to be used for
determining the allowable expansion stress
range SA shall be taken for the type of
piping system involved from the applicable
tables in the respective sections of the code.
In the case of welded pipe, the longitudinal-
225
joint efficiency maybe disregarded in
calculating expansion stresses.
6.17 General
a. Piping systems shall be designed to have
sufficient flexibility to prevent thermal
expansion from causing
1. Failure from over-stress of the
piping material or anchors
2. Leakage at joints
3. Detrimental distortion of connected
equipment resulting from excessive
thrusts and moments.
b Flexibility shall be provided by
changes of direction in the piping
through the use of bends, loops,
and off-sets; or provision shall be
made to absorb thermal strains by
expansion joints of the slip joints or
bellows type. If desirable, flexibility
may be provided by increasing or
corrugating portions or all of the
Pipe. in this case, anchors or ties of
sufficient strength and rigidity shall
be installed to provide for end forces
due to fluid pressure and other
causes.
c. Basic Assumptions and Requirements
4, Formal calculations or model tests
shall be required when reasonable
doubt exists as to the adequate
flexibility of a system. — Each
problem shall be analyzed by a
method appropriate tothe.
conditions.
No hard and fast rule can be given
as to when as analysis should be
made. However, in the absence of
better information the need for a
formal stress analysis for a two-
anchor system of uniform pipe size
is indicated when the folowing
approximate criterion isnot
satisfied:

8.4 Piping of Pressure Relieving Devices
‘The most important design factor about
pressure relieving devices is the underlyingCHAPTER 11 - PIPING
principle of intrinsic safety. They must “fail safe”
OF not at al. Therefore, the solution to problems
in pressure relief piping must be based on
sound design practices. Because failure is
intolerable, simplicity and directness of design
should be encouraged as a mass to reliability
‘There are at least four good reasons why the
installation of pressure safety valves and disc
should be engineered with care:

a. The inlet and outlet piping can reduce the
capacity of the device below a safe value.
b. The operation of the device maybe
adversely affected to the point where the
‘opening or closing pressure is altered. In the
case of safety valves‘, premature leaking or
“simmering” may occur at pressures less
than the set pressure or chattering may
‘occur after the valve opens.
©. The reaction thrust at the same time the
device starts to discharge can cause
mechanical failure of the piping.
d. Good design saves maintenance peses.
Safety Valve Inlet Piping
In order to operate satisfactorily, a safely valve
‘must be mounted vertically. It should be directly
fon the vessel nozzle or on a short connection
fiting that provides direct and unobstructed flow
between the vessal and the valve. Safety valves
protecting piping systems should of course be
‘mounted in a similar manner. The device may
never be installed on a fitting having a smaller
inside diameter than the safety valve inlet
connection

Pressure Drop
The pressure drop between the vessel and
safety valve inlet flange should not be so large
that the valve is “starved” or chattering will
result. The following limitations are suggested:
a. The pressure drop due to friction should not
exceed 1 percent of the accumulated
relieving pressure.
b. The pressure drop due to velocity head loss
should not exceed 2 percent of the
accumulated relieving pressure.CHAPTER 11 - PIPING
‘Some safety valve manufacturers suggested
a maximum total pressure drop of 2 percent
of set pressure. In the absence of test data,
it is recommended that this more
conservative limit be used.
‘These recommendations are based on a
blowdown of a4 percent. Within this limits if
the blowdown setting is increased, the
pressure drop maybe _ increased
proportionately. Remember however, that
pressure lost in the inlet piping must be
taken into consideration when sizing the
safety valve. Pressure loss in the discharge
piping should be minimized by running the
line as directly as possible. Use long-radius
bends and avoid close-up fittings. In no case
may the cross-sectioned area of the
discharge pipe be less than that of the valve
outlet.
Piping Supports
Safety valves, although they may not be
included under heading of “delicate
instruments", nonetheless instruments. They are
required to measure within three percent and to
perform a specific control function. Excessive
strain on the valve body adversely affects its
ability to measure and control
Supports for discharge piping shouldbe
designed to keep the load on the valve to a
minimum. In high temperature service, high
loads will cause permanent distortion of the
valve because of creep in the metal. Even at low
temperature, vaive distortion will cause the valve
to leak at pressures lower than the set pressure
and result in fauity operation. The discharge
piping should be supported free of the valve and
Carefully aligned so that the forces acting on the
vaive will be at minimum wien the equipment is
under normal operating conditions. Expansion
joints or long radius bends of proper design and.
cold spring should be provided to prevent
excessive strain
The major stresses to which the discharge pipe
is subjected are usually due to thermal
expansion and discharge reaction forces. The
sudden release of compressible fluid into a
multi-directional discharge pipe produces an
impact load and bourdon effect at each charge
of direction. The piping must be adequately
anchored to prevent sway or vibration while the
valve is discharging,

due to vibration and seismic forces
and damage to pipe joints such as
cast iron pipe, soldered copper pipes
and others as required.
Reaction Forces
The total stress imposed on a safety valve or its
piping is caused by the sum of these forces:
a. Intemal pressure
b. Dead weight of piping
¢. Thermal expansion or contraction of either
the discharge line of the equipment upon
which the valve is mounted and 89
d. The bending moment cause by the reaction
thrust of the discharge.
All of these stresses except the latter are
‘common to practically every problem. in
Piping stress analysis,
The magnitude of the reaction force
resulting from the instantaneous release of a
compressible fluid maybe calculated from
the two simple formuias given below.
For safety valve:
Fi=(K+0.2) AP,

Compressor Piping
Piping in a compressor circult should connect
directly point to point: bends instead of elbows
give less friction loss and less vibration;
angular branch connections eliminate hard
tees and give a smoother flow double offsets
for directional change should be avoided;
closely integrated intercoolers with the
machine minimizes piping; pulsation.
dampeners should be located on the cylinders
without any. interconnecting pipe; knockout
drums. should be adjacent to the machine;
several aftercoolers or exchangers in. the
Gircuit should be stacked as much as possible
for a direct gas flow; and equipment in the
Circuit should be in process flow sequence.
Because of the ever present vibration
problems at reciprocating compressors, pipe
Supports have a very important role in piping
design. Supports independent of any other
foundation or structure is almost mandatory.
Pipe systems “nailed down” ciose to grade is a
much preferred arrangement. If badly
designed compressor piping has to be
corrected after start-up of the plant, it can
become very expensive
