DRAWINGS AND DATA FROM WHICH MATERIALS CAN BE PURCHASED,

REQUIREMENT OF THE PROCESS.
FUNCTION OF PIPING ENGINEERING
Plant Layout
Plant Layout
A Process plant, which consist of the various different sections such as raw material
storage, intermediate and finished product storage, process units, control rooms,
Flare system, Raw material loading and uploading facilities, utilities generation and
distribution etc. should be arranged so as to follow the general route of the raw
material to process, to Intermediate/Finished product storage, to dispatch.
Generally block concept is prevalent for the plant layout where in the entire plot area
is divided into blocks. The size of the blocks depends upon the facilities to be
accommodated.
Following points are to be considered while locating the blocks .
• Process unit block shall be centrally located with straight approach from the
main gate.
• The blocks shall be so arranged considering the prevalent wind direction that
flammable gases should not be carried by the wind on to source of ignition.
• Utility blocks shall be located adjacent to unit blocks.
• Flare shall be located upwind of process units so that the inflammable gas from
plant is not carried towards flare.
• Equipment requiring frequent maintenance shall have easy accessibility.

VALVE CLASSIFICATION BASED ON FUNCTION
In any plant various fluids flow through pipes
from one end to other.
Now let us start with a plant where we see
three tanks.
Tank-1, Tank-2 and Tank-3
We have to transfer the content of Tank no. 1
to the other two tanks.
We will need to connect pipes to transfer the
fluids from Tank-1 to Tank-2 and Tank-3
LET US BRING THE PIPES.
This is the plane white sheet we
start with
Let us start drawing a simple
piping system
We need some
branch
connections
We need some
bend connections
We need some
bend connections
To solve these
problems we need the
pipe components,
which are called
PIPE FITTINGS
We have just brought the
pipes, now we need to solve
some more problems.
Pipes are all straight pieces.
We need some
branch
connections
These are the pipe fittings,
There are various types of fittings for various
purposes, some common types are -
Elbows/Bends, Tees/Branches,
Reducers/Expanders, Couplings, Olets, etc.
Anyway, the pipes and
fittings are in place, but the
ends are yet to be joined
with the Tank nozzles.
We now have to complete the
end connections. These, in
piping term, we call
TERMINAL CONNECTIONS.
These are flanged
joints
So far this is a nice arrangement.
But there is no control over the flow from
Tank-1 to other tanks.
We need some arrangement to stop the
flow if needed
To control the flow in a pipe
line we need to fit a special
component.
That is called - VALVE
This is a welded joint
There are many types of valves, categorized
based on their construction and functionality,
Those are - Gate, Globe, Check, Butterfly, etc.
Other than valves another
important line component of pipe
line is a filter, which cleans out
derbies from the flowing fluid.
This is called a STRAINER
If this tank
nozzle expands,
when the tank is
hot.
Here we see a more or less functional piping
system, with valves and strainer installed.
Let us now investigate some aspects of pipe
flexibility.
In such case we need to fit a
flexible pipe component at that
location, which is called an
EXPANSION JOINT
When some fluid is flowing in a pipe we
may also like know the parameters like,
pressure, temperature, flow rate etc. of the
fluid.
To know these information we
need to install INSTRUMENTS in
the pipeline.
Next we shall
look into how to
SUPPORT the
pipe/and it’s
components.
There are various types instruments to measure various
parameters. Also there are specific criteria for
installation of various pipe line instruments.
Here are some of the pipe supporting
arrangements. There can be numerous variants. All
depend on piping designer’s preference and
judgement.
Let us see some OTHER types of supports
Stress Analysis
Objective
Pipe stress analysis provides the necessary techniques for
engineers to design piping systems without overstressing and
overloading the piping components & connected equipment.
The objective of stress analysis can be listed as follows:
A) To limit the stresses in the piping system to the limiting value.
B) To limit the deflection in the piping system to the limiting
value.
C) To limit the loads on nozzles of connected equipment.
D) To limit the loads on supports.
E) To check for leakage at flange joints.
F) Unintentional disengagement of pipes from supports.
G) Excessive displacement .
Requirements of supports in piping system are:
• To carry the weight of the pipe, fittings, valves with / without insulation,
with operating / test fluid.
• To provide adequate stiffness to the piping against external loads such
as wind load, ice, snow, seismic load etc.
• To avoid overstressing of the piping material.
• To avoid of sagging of pipe which creates draining problem.
• To control the thermal expansion / contraction in desired manner
• To withstand and dampen vibration produced by connected equipment
such as pump, compressor etc.

MATERIAL GROUP
Basis For Materials Selection
Materials of construction are selected and corrosion allowances are
determined on the basis of anticipated corrosion or material
degradation under the most severe combination of process variables
(e.g., stream composition, velocity, temperature and pressure) resulting
in sustained maximum normal operating conditions.
Appropriate temperature and pressure margins should be added to
the sustained maximum normal operating conditions to determine the
design conditions upon which the high temperature mechanical
design is based. Typically, these margins are up to +50F (28C) above
operating temperature and up to +10% of the operating pressure (up
to a maximum of 50 psi (0.35 MPa)).
