REFERENCE NOTES
A. GENERAL
A 1. The Piping Specification Selection Table lists the services to which this piping specification refers.
It also identifies the relevant piping specification at various pressure/ temperature ratings.
A 2. This piping specification utilizes socket weld fittings and socket weld valves in sizes 1½" and
smaller, except where otherwise indicated.
A 3. This piping specification utilizes socket weld fittings and threaded valves in sizes 1½" and smaller,
except where otherwise indicated.
A 4. This piping specification utilizes threaded pipe and threaded fittings in all sizes. Valves 1½" and
smaller are threaded, valves 2" and larger are flanged.
A 5. This piping specification utilises threaded pipe and threaded fittings in all sizes in conjunction with
stainless steel tubing and compression fittings.
A 6. This piping specification utilizes socket weld fittings and flanged valves in sizes 1½" and smaller
except where otherwise indicated.
A 7. This piping specification utilises threaded fittings and threaded valves in sizes 1½" and smaller.
A 8. The minimum permitted pipe size is ¾" except :
a) where indicated elsewhere in this specification.
b) for piping subject to vibration (e.g. reciprocating compressors etc.) or where the minimum
permitted size is 1" for connections other than line mounted vents and drains.
Page 38 of 42
BES-L001
Piping Specifications 27 October, 2004
A 24. Refer to vendor information for details of pipe and flange ratings, schedules and wall thicknesses
etc.
A 25. Smaller fibreglass reinforced plastic pipe and fittings may be used provided they are in accordance
with API 15L.
A 26. For above ground piping systems only.
A 27. Piping shall be designed to have sufficient flexibility to prevent expansion and contraction from
causing excessive stresses in the piping material. Flexibility shall be provided by the use of bends,
loops or offsets.
A 28. Thermowells are not to be placed in sections of pipelines that are to be pigged.
C. FITTINGS
Page 39 of 42
BES-L001
Piping Specifications 27 October, 2004
D. FLANGES
D 1. These flanges are not intended for general use, but only for use in conjunction with specialised
equipment and valves.
D 2. Generally, select only weldneck or slip-on flanges based on availability and economics of installed
costs. Slip-on flanges must be double welded. Weldneck flanges must be adjacent to butt weld
fittings.
D 3. Raised faced flanges are for wafer type valves.
D 4. Flanges shall be bored to suit pipe wall thickness.
D 5. The inner surface at the weld joint of pipe to flange shall be ground smooth.
D 6. For large diameter lines, 150# weldneck flanges and throat traps may be used. For throat traps use
½" threaded boss or thredolet and jig drill ½" diameter hole in pipe.
D 7. For sizes 1½" and smaller, use calibrated orifice pipe sections or integral orifice meters.
D 8. Thermowells, small relief valves, small control valves and unvalved vents shall be flanged where
any of the following conditions apply :
a) Design metal temperature is above 750ºF for carbon steel or 900ºF for alloy steel.
b) Flange rating is 900# or higher.
D 9. 900# flanges are identical to 1500# flanges up to and including 2½".
D 10. There may be interference between the hub and outer pipe if hubbed reducing slip-on flanges as
per ANSI/ASME B16.5 are used.
D 11. These flanges are for use with 250# flanged cast iron hydrants and 300# flanged bronze hose
valves.
Page 40 of 42
BES-L001
Piping Specifications 27 October, 2004
D 12. RTJ flange groove hardness should be compatible with the hardness of the octagonal ring (max.
BHN 90), to meet the requirements of ANSI B16.20.
D 13. Grade B7M bolts and grade 2HM nuts are required when the specification must comply with NACE.
D 14. 1½" WN flanges are to be used for thermowell connections, in accordance with drawing no. BN-LS-
051.
D 15. 1" WN flanges are only to be used for vents and drains, in accordance with drawing no. BN-LS-
053.
D 16. ANSI 150# flat faced flanges are for connecting carbon steel piping systems to fibreglass
reinforced plastic systems.
E. VALVES
E 4. Where located upstream of isolation valves, a spool piece may be required to avoid interference.
E 5. Dual plate check valves shall not be used with reciprocating pumps or compressors.
E 6. Generally, select either flanged or wafer check valves on the basis of availability or economics of
installed cost.
E 7. Where surge pressure may be a problem, consider the use of rapid closing valves.
E 8. 12" and larger check valves in liquid service shall be fitted with dash pots.
E 9. In viscous and/or heavy fouling service, consider the use of swing check valves.
E 10. Generally, select either flanged gate valves or wafer butterfly valves on the basis of availability or
economics of installed cost. A butterfly valve is to have priority if control of leakage emission, due
to the stem, is required.
E 11. Control valves shall be 1" minimum and flanged 300#. 8" and larger shall be flanged 150#.
E 12. In sour service use Stellite or Monel or 12% Cr trim with hardness as specified in NACE standards.
E 13. Up to 4" size, use a wrench operator. 6" and larger are to be gear operated.
E 14. Control valves shall be 1" minimum and flanged or suitable for insert on between flanges.
E 15. These valves with welded on flanges shall be supplied in a PWHT condition. Only bolted bonnet
valves are acceptable.
E 16. Globe valves are normally only required for control valve by passes.
E 17. Use only where valve replacement would involve extensive shutdown of units.
E 18. For ball valves the maximum temperature is limited to 250°F. For higher temperatures use special
ball valves.
E 19. Butterfly valves are to have 316SS trims. 10" and above are to be gear operated.
E 20. For details of fire hydrants refer to drg. no. BN-LS-071.
E 21. In certain situations when API 600 valves are not available, then and only then can they be
replaced with 2500# socket weld globe or 2500# socket weld gate valve and 6000# nipolet PE.
Valves are to comply with MSS-SP-84.

BES-L001
Piping Specifications 27 October, 2004
E 22. If corrosive water is used in fire water service then valves should be cast 5% Ni-Al bronze, flanged
FF, threaded or socket welded with Monel trim.
