PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE
A. This specification covers 304L stainless steel piping. Some applications are: corrosive gas or
liquid processes, process air, process water, Acetate Tow Dope before final filtration (4th stage
filter press).
B. Design Limits based on 316 stainless steel ASME B16.34 Class 150 valves and ASME B16.5
Class 150 ASTM A182 – F316/F316L stainless steel flanges, except NPS 18" - 24" based on
pipe. Also based on Eastman's temperature limit on PTFE. See notes 7 and 7a for reduced
ratings for 316L and 304/304L flanges:

1.4 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
A. WARNING - Excessive pressure will build up in steam traced piping that has fluid blocked
between valves without relief. Refer to Technical Report 95-5200-019 "Investigation of
Extrusion Failures of PTFE Based Gaskets in Pipe Line Flanges."
B. See 15480.S108 for similar specification with graphite-filled spiral wound gaskets.
C. See specification 15480.S155, which has graphite packing and gaskets, for Acetate Tow Dope
piping beyond the 4th stage filter press (final filtration).
D. Acetate tow manufacturing prohibits the use of any fluoropolymers, such as PTFE and PTFE
materials using trade names such as "Teflon" and "Viton", to be in direct contact with the acetate
tow dope and tow fibers as restricted per Specification 15480.0001, Para. 1.6(G).
E. cGMP Requirements - Pharmaceutical, Food and Feed Grade piping shall comply with Current
Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) guidelines. Pipe and piping components, including
gaskets, shall not contain materials that are hazardous for human consumption. Design safety,
hazards and cross contamination issues shall be addressed with regards to proper piping materials,
systems design/layout and cleaning. For cGMP guidelines and piping requirements, see cGMP
Piping Requirements Policy and Guidelines: SOP Number: EAST-GMP-DIV-21.
F. Alloy Blinds vs. Lined Carbon Steel Blind Flanges - The designer shall consider the cost
advantage of using alloy blind flanges in favor of alloy lined carbon steel blind flanges in the
smaller sizes. For stainless steel, NPS ≤ 8 are typical cost effective sizes. Larger size stainless
steel blind flanges are not normally considered economical. Caution: The pressure rating is
limited by certain alloy blind flanges permitted by this specification. See notes 7 and 7a for
reduced ratings for 316L and 304/304L stainless steel flanges.

in place of using welding elbows, unless otherwise stated in project instructions. See Specification
15480.0101, “Piping, Cold Bending” for requirements that shall be followed.
03 Use with old sch 5S pipe (used prior to 1993).
04 Stainless steel blind flanges in the smaller sizes typically have a cost advantage of over the lined
carbon steel flanges. Larger size stainless steel blind flanges are not normally considered
economical. Sizes outside those listed may be used. See Para. 1.4(F).
05 Sheet gasket is for site cutting, specials and odd connections.
06 Threaded items should be limited for use after terminal valves at vent and drain assemblies, pressure
and temperature connections, connections to equipment, etc. Primary runs of piping are to be
welded so that schedule 10S pipe can be used rather than sch 40S. Thread cutting tools must be

bonnets, or raised operating handles with lockout capabilities which will allow full insulation plus
hand clearance of approximately 3-inches (76 mm).
V35 Check valves shall be sized according to operating/process conditions - not line size. Critical
applications include turbulent flow, flow fluctuation and flow rates that result in a less than a fully
open valve disk. Consult manufacturer’s specifications for correct sizing.
V37 Pressure and temperature rating limited by certain components permitted by this specification.
Valves must comply with pressure/temperature limitations listed in the Eastman valve purchase
description.
V41 The straight through bore of valves shall be checked to ensure sufficient clearance prior to being
selected for applications such as hot tapping, component insertion, etc. Valve manufacturers vary
bore configurations and sizes. Consult manufacturer’s specifications for specific bore
configuration, dimensions and clearance.
V42 Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation of valves including cautions on
weld end assembly, orientation, and disassembly.
V52 Valve should only be used in applications requiring fire safe components.
V53 Designed for Diketene Service.
V54 For services where trapped fluid can expand between the valve seats generating excessive
pressure that can damage a valve and prevent operation.
