In Process Piping Design 1 have elected to have each chapter self-sustaining. £ have reproduced some charts and tables but only those required in learning the basics of piping design To become a competent piping designer requires many years of experience plus a talent for creative thinking. Piping designers must call on their knowledge for each design job but also must apply their owa ingenuity daily. I like to call that horse sense. Many piping designers have told me that their job is 25% knowledge, 25% experience and 50% horse sense, This book will try to deal with the first 25% and touch on the last 50% Fluor Corporation has been very. farsighted by sastigating piping drafting and piping design training classes and they have been very generous in allow- ing me to reproduce some of their instructional material. 1 wish to take this opportunity to thank Fluor for its assistance.

Piping consumes abaut SO% of the desiga engineering manhours, 35% of the material cost of the plant and about 30% of the labor cost in the field, Inept piping design in the office can increase the cost of @ plant. The design engineering department of a contractor designing refinery or petrochemical complexes consists of four main functions: piping, structural, electrical and vessels. The piping section encompasses flow diagrams, model making, insulation and painting. piping material take-off, piping material control, instrument design and piping design itself, Experienced piping designers know the functions of all of these groups. -They also must have a broad knowledge of the structural, electrical and vessel sections, And they must know the many pieces of equipment that they must pipe up, the numerous details of piping, the materials necessary for various services, piping flexibility basics and field construction practices. Then comes 4 general knowledge of plant operation and maintenance. When all of this is considered, it is easy to see why there is always a shortage of experienced, competent piping designers. Ironically, piping design is the one subject that has been neglected in the school systems. This is largely duc to the fact that adequate textbooks were not available. No book can teach a person to become a piping designer but it can teach the fundamentals and how to apply thems. lo become a designer1 General Piping The dictionary desciibes pipe as a Tong tube of clay, concrete, metal, wood, etc., for conveying water, gas, oil or other fluids. A fluid is defined as any substance that can flow-liquid or gas. Pipe has been with us for over S000 years Each year introduces new purposes for piping which create demands for new and improved mate- rial specifications and ingenuity on the part of the piping designer. Piping has advanced from its ear- lior function of transporting-water through wooden conduits from the mountains’ melting snow to the village below. Today piping can be found almost any place one looks, from the piping in an automo: bile to the complicated maze of piping in a process plant A piping designer is one who designs piping systems, Since piping is so widely used, the piping ers cannot learn the complete field of piping intly they have become more special: into the fields of pracess piping, pipe line piping, steam power plant piping or one of the many other eategories. Process piping design is, in the author's estima- tion, the most interesting specialization in the piping field. Each process piping unit presents 2 how challenge to the designer. Each plant is custom and while there is -some similarity be- nit of $0,000 barrels a day und one designed, tween a crude of 75,000 barrels a day, there is no duplication. A piping designer may work on two or three crude units in his entire carcer. These are fiterally hun- dreds of different types of units in a refinery or petrochemical complex. Each type of onit presents its own piping challenges. How, then, can one learn process pipin from a bork? It can’t be done. A book can present the basic similarities that exist in many’ types of units and introduce guidelines for competent de- From there on, the process piping designer adgment. design must ize his persdnal Piping Materials ‘The term piping means not only pipe but the fittings, flanges, valves and other ttems which form part of the overall piping system, Piping materia je classes. mictallic and wom Jat be glass, eeram= ain divided: ‘ous.

It Hhen becomes his task not only to orient the nozzles but to specify the tank materials and. sizes, To do this he must have more than a passing knowledge of tank design and matgrial specifications. Tank materials for hydrocarbon service are di- vided into three busic types: intermediate strength steels such as ASTM A285-C for general service (also ASTM A516 for atmospheric and low-temper ature service and ASTM ASUS for intermediate aad higher temperature service), high-yield strength slvels used for harger and taller tanks (0 keep shetl ihbeknesses 10 mininitum (ASTM ASI and A517) and the low-temperature steels used for pressure containing tak (ASTM AS37).

When isometries ate furnished to the shop. the take-off man is usually by-passed and the line iso- metric goes to the draftsman. He makes the deci- sion of where to locste shop piece break points and completes the detail drawing. The drawing is then checked by a “break-down checker.” Some comr panies have spools checked twice to ensure acura vy. Shop spools are drawn orthographically and as isometrics. Some shops do single ine spools while some do double line. Texas Pipe Bending Co. in Houston has done all kinds and now does single line spools in isometric except for single plane spools, which are drawn orthographically Figure 6-2. orthographic pipe sposl, is drawn orthographically because the pipe is in one plane. Figure 6-3, isometric pipe spool, shows how shop spools are drawa to show more than one plane. Figure 6-4, isometric spool with miters, shows detail miter dimensioning, Note that the pipe’s to- tal length is shown in the material list Figure 6-5. shop spool with bends, is drawn orthographically bec: < it is in one plane, Alb bend date is shown in the boxes at the drawing’ top.

Tables 6-3 and 6-4. 45" bend data. supply the same information for 45° bends. Tables 0-5 and 6-6, 60° bend data, supply dimensions for 60" bends. Table 6-7, 90° bend data, shows 90° bend dimensions.

Two-weld 90° * miters are_used for maximam economy, but they cause the greatest pressure drop, The three-weld jniter is a compromise. Table 6-8, miter welding dimensions, gives Tull details on miters. For angles of 45° or less the one-weld miter is common. ‘Small Fittings . ‘The pipe fabricator is concesned with dimen- sions that affect the length of pipe he must supply. Table 6-9, screwed and socketweld fittings, gives dimensions of interest 10 pipe fabricators. Normal thread engagement is also shown. The Triangle Piping designers run pipe vertically, horizsvtal ly and at angles. The most common angles formed 30° and 45°. By construction, piping draftsinen make 90° triangles and apply their math back ground to solve triangles formed by these angles. Pipe shops have developed triangle tables to aid in quick solutions. Tables 6-10 and 6-11, 30° offsets, supply solutions for 30° triangles. Tables 6-12 and. 6-13. 45° offsets. show 45° triangle solutions ‘The Cutback A cutback is the dimension from the header centerline to The nomk's nearest point Cutback Gimensfons are needed t@ determine the exact length of the nozzle pipe, Table 6-154. 90° cutback for standard weight pipe and Table 6-15. 90° citback for extra heavy pipe, give the cutback dimensions when the nozzie's ID rests on the hiealer’s OD.
