PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:

Liquid- Density,viscosity,vapor pressure,critical pressure,Spgr @15C

Vapor- Density,viscosity,mol.wt,cp/cv,z-factor

two phase flow- densities and velocities for both liquid and vapor & surface tension

BASIC PRINCIPLE FOR LINE SIZING:

1.) Should be economical.

2.) Process requirements may take precedence over economical aspects (Eg. NPSH).

3.) In revamping projects of existing plants, fluid velocity is more likely to be increased than new plants.

PRESSURE DROP CALCULATION METHOD:

1.) Frictional pressure drop to be calculated using Moody's friction factor.

2.) Hazen and Williams empirical formula to be applied, taking H&W friction factor C=100 for following
services

-Sea water flowing in untreated surface pipe

-Oxygen contained and chemically untreated water such as drlnking water, industrial water etc

3.) For compressible gas flow with high pressure drop, ad~abatic flow formula should be applied as
shown in Appendq- 1 A 1.4. (

4.) For gaslliquid two phase flow, HTFS method shodd be applied as shown in Appendix-2 A2 1 or HTFS
Handbook TM4 (Aug., 1984).

STANDARD PIPE DATA:

 Use JGS 220-31 1-3-01E for JIS or JGS 220-3 11-3-03E for ANSI for pipe diameter when line
classification is available.

Minimum line size is DN3/4 except for instrument piping, auxiliary heating piping and pipe
connections.
