ECS 3-3-10 ‘STRAINERS FOR MECHANICAL Esso) EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION 14 12 13 14 24 22 23 3.1.4 3.1.4 SCOPE This specification covers the design and application of temporary and permanent strainers for the protection of mechanical equipment, This specification does not cover metal screen or porous media filters with openings finer than 150 Fm. An astetisk (*) indicates that additional information is provided by ESSO in an addendum to this specification, ‘A pound sign (#) indicates that ESSO review/approval is required before design is finalized or equipment is purchased ‘SUMMARY OF ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: The design and application of strainers for mechanical equipment not specifically covered by other specifications shall be per the requirements given herein. ‘Strainers shall be located between the inlet flange and the equipment isolation block valve. ‘A valved pressure tap shall be provided both upstream and downstream of strainer to monitor differential pressure across the strainer during plant start-up. DESIGN Common Requirements for Temporary and Permanent Strainers ‘Selection of strainer type and orientation of the strainer element relative to process fiow shall ensure that collected solids of foreign material cannot fall back into the line. Strainers shall be designed and fabricated to prevent their damage due to vibration, differential pressure, pulsating flow or impact of objects. Screen of mesh size 20 of finer shall be reinforced with perforated plate, or heavier screen and stee! bars. Strainer bodies shall be suitable for the line service classification. Material for screen and pertorated plate shall be per par. 4.1. Mesh size of strainers shall be selected to stop all objects that could cause plugging ‘or mechanical damage.ESSO EXPLORATIONS PRODUCTION CHAD INC. ECS 3-3-10 STRAINERS FOR MECHANICAL Page 3 of EQUIPMENT ieee SPECIFICATION Rev.1 | Oct. 1995 3.1.5 On pumps with NPSH margin less that 0.3 m (1 ft.) do not install strainer with a mesh size less that 3 x 3. °3.1.6 Strainer open area shall be not less than two times the inlet pipe cross-sectional area. For suction lines to compressors in air service, this criteria shall be followed unless otherwise specified. 3.1.7. Cone or basket type strainers shall be provided with identification tabs that protrude from the holding pipe flanges. 3.1.8 For "TEE" type strainers, guide rods and shelf rods supporting the strainer element shall be sized per Table 1. TABLE 1 “TEE" Size, NPS, in. Rod Size, mm 26 10 <6 6 Additional Requirements for Temporary Strainers 3.2.1. Temporary strainers shall be used during line flushing and initial operating periods of new and revamped plants, unless: a. Permanent strainers are specified. b. Piping is accessible for internal visual inspection throughout its entire length and is clean and ree of foreign objects. 3.2.2 Temporary strainers shall be in accordance with Figure 1. 3.2.3 Piping layout shall permit insertion and removal of the temporary strainer without disturbing equipment alignment. Pipe fittings such as Tees, wyes or fabricated piping ‘spool pieces are acceptable for this purpose. Permanent Strainers 3.3.1. The design and location of permanent strainers shall permit cleaning without removing the strainer body.ESSO EXPLORATION & = PRODUCTION CHAD ING. ECS 3-3-10 STRAINERS FOR MECHANICAL Page 4 of 9 Esso) EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION Rev.1 | Oct. 1995 3.3.2. Strainers shall be either Y or a commercial basket type, depending on which is more economical. Fabricated strainers can be used if there is a significant cost or delivery advantage. 3.3.3. Arrangement of strainers shall permit cleaning without interrupting the pumping service. For installation equipped with a spare pump this shall be accomplished by providing @ permanent strainer in the suction line of each pump. For pumps without spares, twin strainers or self-cleaning strainers may be used, as applicable. 3.3.4 Positive displacement and turbine meters shall be provided with permanent strainers ‘on the upstream side. 3.3.5 Fuel oil supply lines shail be provided with suitable dual filters installed in parallel in the main supply line or the branch line. 3.3.6 Self-cleaning strainers (i.e., *Y" or "Tee" types) shall be provided with valved blowdown connections.SSO EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION CHAD INC.
