    Uploaded by

    Kevin Do
    This document provides definitions and explanations of various piping and pipeline terms: - It describes the differences between a pressure regulator and backpressure regulator, including their normal valve positions and locations. - It also outlines various pressure terms used in piping like MOP, MAOP, DP, and MAWP and provides examples of their usage. - Additionally, it defines common components and issues like deadlegs, the Joule-Thomson effect, and differences between seamless and electric resistance welded pipe.

     JATCO blowcase – condensate collector/auto drainer

     Pressure Regulator vs Back pressure regulator


    o https://blog.lesman.com/2016/01/18/regulators-101-pressure-vs-back-pressure/
    Pressure Regulator Backpressure Regulator
    Valve Position Normally Open Normally Closed
    Location START (before equipment) END (after equipment)
    Similar to Relief Valve
    Protect Downstream Upstream

     Pipe Schedule

    o
    o In addition to the schedule numbers, Standard (STD), Extra Strong (XS), and Double
    Extra Strong (XXS).
     MOP vs MAOP vs DP vs MAWP vs Hydrotest Pressure
    o MOP (Maximum Operating Pressure)
    o MAOP (Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure) – based on pipeline/vessel/tank
    parameters (for pipeline) and set by govn’t
    o DP (Design Pressure)
    o MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure) – based on the weakest point of vessel
    o Hydrostatic Test Pressure = 1.5*Design Pressure for ONSHORE PIPING (B31.3)
    o Conclusion: MOP <= MAOP < DP <= MAWP

     NDE (NonDestructive Evaluation) Requirement (%) and PWHT (Post Weld Heat Treatment)
     Piping Code http://allaboutpipelines.com/article/PipelineVsPiping
    o B31.3 (above ground – onshore piping)
    o B31.4, B31.8 (mostly underground – onshore pipeline)

     pipingdesigners.com/contents/tips-tools-training
     Deadlegs: pipe components that have little or stagnant flow (blinded/blanked flange, header
    piping) Causes localized corrosion, water frozen causing pipe rupture
     Joule-Thomson (JT) effect: Fluid expands from high P to low P during isenthalpic process
    (throttling valve), cooling the fluid causing hydrate formation (condensation). To avoid, preheat
    the fluid before the valve or injecting hydrate inhibitor (ex. Methanol/monoethylene glycol), or
    minimizing the pressure drop across the valve.
     Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) vs Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) vs Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
    o NGL is liquid at ambient temp, LNG is only liquid when chilled cryogenically
    o NGL quality: 7lb/MMSCF, wet ~12 lb/MMSCF

    o Y-Grade (mixed NGL/raw make): mixed stream to be split into purity product
    o Five(5) NGL Purity Products: Ethane (C2), Propane (C3), Normal Butane (nC4), Isobutane
    (iC4), and natural gasoline (C5+). Pure means at least 90% of one type.
    o E/P mix (Ethane/Propane mix): 80% ethane/20% propane, typically.
     Mercaptan – Odorizing Agent for gas (used to make gas easier detectable if leaked)
     Thermal relief requirement ~500 L liquid
     Tan-to-Tan (T/T) vs Seam-to-Seam (S/S)
    o (Unofficial) T/T=S/S+4” (2” straight portion each side)
     Seamless vs Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) Pipe: Seam along the pipe length & how
    manufactured
     Pipe Schedule 40/80 – refer to pipe wall thickness
     Spool vs Pup : short pipes
     Vent Backpressure Calc
    o Inlet pipe < 3% of psv set pressure
    o Outlet pipe < 10% of psv set pressure
     Pumps: API generally has higher standard than ANSI. Ex API 610
    o Centrifugal pump Types:
     Overhung – OH
     Between Bearings – BB
     Vertically Suspended – SS


     Full Bore (full port) vs reduced (standard) bore valve
    o Full bore: no pressure/speed change, debris distributed evenly along pipe
    o Reduced: pressure/speed change at pinch, debris not accumulated on seat area
     Gooseneck piping – 180 degree pipe fitting at the top of vertical pipe to prevent water entry
     JT (Joule-Thomson) effect – temperature change of a real gas or liquid
     Bypass / Equalization line for valve
    o https://www.tlv.com/global/TI/steam-theory/bypass-valves.html
     Bag port (unique to Williams) – used as a stand in for a double block and bleed - DBB
     Double Block and Bleed (DBB) / Double Positive Isolation (DPI) / Double Isolation and Bleed (DIB)
    o read API 6D
