WEB & BLOG FOR PIPING RECOMMENDED BY PUJANGGA PIPING

Untuk Belajar Piping Engineering dan Fenomenanya, ada beberapa Web dan Blog yang bisa dijadikan referensi agar bisa meengerti mengenai piping. Tapi memang pada umumnya link-link tersebut berbahasa Inggris, karena link tersebut bersifat universal banget.

Untuk kita orang Indonesia , apa salahnya belajar bahasa Inggris lebih baik lagi karena bilamana kita ingin berkecimpung di dalam bidang piping mau tidak mau harus belajar mengenai Bahasa Inggris ini, apalagi bila anda ingin bekerja di Oil & Gas Project.

Berikut Saya sampaikan beberapa Blog yang pernah saya tengok di internet dan menurut saya cukup banyak ilmunya yang dapat diperoleh di sana.:

1. http://www.migas-indonesia.com

2. http://www.azpiping.com

3. http://www.pipingguide.net

4. http://www.pipingdowloads.blogspot.com

5. http://piping-info.blogspot.com

6. http://www.pipingdesign.com

7. http://www.wermag.org

8. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com

9. http://www.pipingtech.com

10. http://www.eng-software.com

11. http://www.api.org  (bersifat specific/organisasi standard)

12. http://www.asme.org (bersifat specific/organisasi standard/code)

13. http://www.astm.org (bersifat specific/organisasi standard materials)

14.http://www.ansi.org (bersifat specific / organisasi standard)

Itulah di atas beberapa website yang bisa diajukan sebagai referensi untuk belajar piping menurut Pujangga Piping. Karena selama ini Blog Pujangga Piping banyak mengambil info-info mengenai piping dari sana.

Bila menurut anda beberapa link yang saya tampilkan di tulisan ini banyak yang belum dimasukkan. Tolong recomendasi saudara untuk menginfokan kepada saya melalui kolom komentar. Dan bilamana setelah Pujangga Piping review dan memang betul banyak info yang bisa diambil dari web/link, maka saya akan masukkan ke list yang ada di dalam tulisan ini.

Tulisan ini bisa diupdate berulang-ulang demi tercapainya masyarakat piping yang paham akan piping design engineering dan segala penomenanya.

ONLY THE BASIC - DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED

DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED SYSTEMS


The primary function of a double block and bleed system is for isolation and the secondary function is for intervention.

Under certain conditions double block and bleed systems are needed to prevent product contamination or where it is necessary to remove essential equipment from service for cleaning or repairs while the unit continues in operation.

Of course, such equipment must be provided with a spare or it must be possible to bypass it temporarily without shutting down the unit.

The nature of the fluid, its pressure and temperature, and many other factors must be considered when determining the need for double block and bleed systems.

Generally, block valves should be considered for the onstream isolation of equipment if the fluid is flammable or otherwise hazardous, or if the fluid is in high-pressure or high-temperature service. Where double block valves are used, a NPS ¾ or larger bleed valve should be installed between the block valves.

The purpose of the bleed valve is twofold. First, the bleed ensures that the upstream valve is in fact tight before slipping in a blind off the downstream block valve. The bleed connection also permits the safe withdrawal of moderate leakage from the upstream valve to again assure the tight shutoff of the downstream valve.

Depending on the service conditions, it may be possible to use a single block valve with a body bleed to provide double block and bleed provisions for onstream isolation of equipment.

Gate valves with flexible wedges and with body or bonnet bleed valve can serve this purpose if specifically tested in accordance with API-598 for double block and bleed quality valves.

Some ball valves and nonlubricated plug valves, when equipped with a valve body bleed between the seats, can also be satisfactory substitutes for double block valves.

Testing for double block and bleed quality valves requires the pressure-testing of each seat, with leakage measured through the valve body bleed as a means of substantiating the independent leak tightness of both the upstream and downstream seats of the valve.

DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED VALVES

The Double Block and Bleed Valve or a DBBV can perform the tasks of 3 separate valves (2 separate isolations and 1 drain valve) which apart from being hugely space saving can also save on weight and time due to installation and maintenance practices requiring much less work and the operator being able to locate and operate all 3 valves in one location.

Double block and bleed valves operate on the principle that isolation can be achieved from both the upstream and downstream process flow / pressures.

This is achieved by two ball, gate, globe, needle, etc. valves placed back to back, with a third "isolatable" valve in the centre cavity.

Once isolation has been achieved in one or more of the main process isolation valves, the cavity that is created between these isolations can be drained. This is useful for flow diverting, sampling or injection situations, and for maintenance and or integrity check situations where seat leakage can be monitored through the third "bleed" valve.

The image on the left gives you a good impression, how a DBB valve is constructed.

In this image example, three balls are mounted. 2 large balls that serve as a block (both are closed), and the small ball serve as the bleed (ball is in open position).

Image comes from www.habonim.com. It is a DBB valve in the dual-Safe series.

PIPING ISOMETRIC CHECK LIST SELAYANG PANDANG

Disini saya coba untuk membandingkan mengenai pengecekan terhadap isometric drawings.

3. ISOMETRIC CHECK LIST YANG BERLAKU DI PERUSAHAAN B

Di dalam perusahaan  B ini ada sedikit perbedaan dalam hal pengecekan isometric drawings tapi walaupun berbeda tapi tetap tujuannya agar drawings bisa dibaca dan menghasilkan sesuatu yang bisa dibaca dan dikerjakan pada sat konstruksi atau fabrikasi.

Berikut adalah  check list yang berlaku tersebut :
- Conformity with PID regarding:
· Piping class & Diameter
· Connections to other lines (qty, size & location)
· Connections to Valves and equipments (weld or flange)
· Instrumentation (type, quantity, location
· Flow direction, slope
· Checking of Material Specification w.r.t Pipe Class Manual
· Location with regard to the building Rows-Columns reference axes
· Orientation of bosses with required details (sectional view)
· Support Lugs welded on pipe with required position and orientation details, if applicable
· Spooling, assessment of Field / Shop welds, with regards to the transport gauge (11,5m* 2,5m*2.5m)
· Clear quotation of orientation for the vertical parts as requested for the slope (e.g. Drain leg to be vertical whatever the main piping slope)
- Conformity with material list MTO available in EPC’ystem (Qty/Size)
· Pipe Lengths
· Elbows (LR or SR, 90° or 45°)
· Tee’s (equal or reduced or tee + reducer)
· Reducer’s (concentric or eccentric)
· Branch connections (Piping class rules = GS140, tee or weldolet or pipe to pipe or reinforcement plate)
· Drain leg (pipe + cap BE + weldolet for LI or drain + half coupling + SW cap + boss for temperature)
· Flanges (type, face profile, size & rating, gasket, bolts)
· Special accessories (quick coupling, flow nozzle …)
· Boss identification / Instrumentation Stubs, GS040
· Valve type, connection and dimension

Dan setelah anda baca tentunya cukup aneh bukan? karena rada agak berbeda dengan seperti yang saya sampaikan di atas tadi. Tapi tujuannya tetap sama yaitu untuk menghasilkan gambar yang baik dan bisa pakai untuk fabrikasi.

Tapi yang perlu diingat adalah aturan perusahaan lah dimana kita bekerja yang harus kita ikuti walaupun apa yang dibuat sangat berbeda saat dimana kita bekerja sebelumnya.
Dan apa yang saya uraikan diatas mengenai isometric check list, ada lah yang saat ini berlaku di masing-masing company.
Dan bila ada kesamaan berarti itu adalah check list berdasarkan standard piping yang berlaku dan bila ada perbedaan anggap saja sebagai kemauan perusahaan untuk menerapkan hal-hal yang lebih baik dalam pengecekan drawing.

VALVE OPERATING CLERANCE:

Valves are best installed with the stem pointing staright-up (Vertical stem). Since this position greatly facilitates in-place maintenance (lubrication, inspection & repacking)

Valves may be rotated as far as the horizontal position with no great decrease in maintenance convenience. But should not be installed with the stem downward since the bonnet acts as a trap for acrasive sediment and water wich may freeze under extreme climatic conditions.

Safety (operation & maintenance ) requires that valves be placed over platforms, rather than adjacent to them. Valves can be placed over access area if they comply with horizontal stem limitations and area bove 2100 min head clearance.

KL Chow Kit,  4 August 2011 time : 5.55 AM.

VENT AND DRAIN FOR HYDROSTATIC TEST (GUIDELINES)

This post provides guidance for designing test vents and drains for piping systems subject to hydrostatic testing. Pneumatically tested systems do not require venting and draining for testing.
Test vents and drains are required only when the high and low points in the section of the line to be tested are not free venting and draining. The number of test vents and drains shall be minimized. They are to be provided only if there is no other means of venting and draining the line, such as process vents and drains or appropriate instrument connections.

Test vents are not required for lines 1 ½” and smaller. Test drains are required on all lines. Valves are normally not required.

Test vents and drains shall be installed at the piping high and low points respectively. The branch shall be as short as possible. The branch shall be braced if bracing is called in standard support drawing. Vents and drains shall be closed with a blind flange or a threaded cap/plug as provided in the relevant piping class.

Normally size of test vents and drains shall be:

- ½” for line size up to 14”
- 1 ½” for line size 16” and larger.

But it will be vary depends on the fluid, project and client.

Drain point location shall allow sufficient space underneath for temporary installation of draining facility to discharge testing liquid.

This guide states the minimum requirements to be met when developing piping design.

Preparation for Piping Testing

All joints in a test section shall be accessible during tests and shall not be painted, insulated, backfilled or otherwise covered until satisfactory completion of testing in accordance with this specification.

All vents and other connections which can serve as vents shall be open during filling so that all air is vented prior to applying test pressure to the system.Test vents shall be installed at high points.

Equipment which is not to be subjected to pressure test shall be either disconnected from the piping or blocked off during the test.Safety valve sand control valves shall not be included in site pressure testing.

Temporary spades and blanks installed for testing purposes shall be designed to withstand the test pressure without distortion.Presence of spades shall be clearly visible during testing.

All control valves shall be removed or replaced with temporary spools or
blinded off during pressure testing.

Check valves shall have the flap or piston removed for testing, where pressure can not be located on the upstream side of the valve.The locking device of the flap pivot pin shall be reinstated together with the flap and anew cover gasket shall be installed after completion of the test.

Spring supports shall be restrained or removed and expansion bellows
removed during hydrostatic testing.

Drain points for fluid disposal after testing, shall be provided.
Care shall be taken to avoid overloading any parts of the supporting
structures during hydrostatic testing.

Piping which is spring or counterweight supported shall be blocked up temporarily to a degree sufficient to sustain the weight of the test medium.Holding pins shall not be removed from spring supports until testing is completed and the system is drained.

Pressure in the system shall be introduced gradually until the pressure is the lesser of one-half of the test pressure or 170 kPa gauge.Maintain pressure for 10 minutes and then gradually increase pressure in steps of one tenth of the test pressure until the test pressure is attained.

PIPE SUPPORT DESIGN GUIDELINE

A piping system shall be adequately supported and restrained to prevent line overstress, equipment nozzle overload, excessive bending of flange joints, excessive pipe sagging, high vibration, excessive deflection / movement, etc.

Scope:
The purpose of this guideline is to simplify and standardise the approach to pipe support design and selection for common support applications with the aim to improve quality, efficiency and productivity. The document shall be read in conjunction with the office standard pipe support drawings and the office piping stress analysis guide.

Pipe Support Identification Tagging:
Each pipe support standard detail drawing contains a legend for support identification tagging
applicable to the supports in the drawing.

Normally all the supports, covers under Standard Piping supports will be STD Pipe Supports.
If the supports needs modification or above the STD pipe support range (e.g. max length, height, pipe range) then it should be considered as Special Pipe Support (SPS).

All SPS as designed and checked by Civil discipline.

Pipe Support Register:
Standard pipe supports, project specific pipe supports and temporary pipe supports will be listed in the project pipe support index drawing. Special pipe supports and temporary support frames are part of the Structural design and will be listed in the Structural discipline project deliverables.

Piping Fabrication Isometrics:
The Material section of the piping fabrication isometric will call up all standard pipe supports. The following information will be included:

· Pipe support identification tag and description / nominal pipe size / quantity
· Pipe support components that are welded to pipe, such as welded shoes and Trunnions, will be shown under “Fabrication Materials”.
· Pipe support components that are field fitted, such as U-bolts, guides, line stops, will be shown under “Erection Materials”.
· The Drawing section of the fabrication piping isometric will show all the above pipe supports and will also reference structural SPecial Supports (SPS).
· Pipe support position will be dimensioned on the isometric drawing. This position corresponds to the location point indicated on the pipe support detail drawing.
· Also shown in the Drawing section of the isometric will be clarification notes, such as “no gaps”, nonstandard gaps and support orientation if required.

Other Supports:
Use of spring hangers, snubbers and other such devices shall be specified by Stress Engineer. The project pipe support register will contain all design information required for procurement of these items.

Supports for extreme conditions, such as for very low operating temperature or acoustic vibration, shall be engineered, designed and procured from a reliable supplier.

These supports shall be designed for and installed in accordance with the Supplier’s instructions.

Small Bore Brace:
Small bore brace is typically used to protect a small size branch from damage.

Branch lines in sizes 2” and below are considered small bore and prone to fatigue failures in vibrating piping systems. They are also prone to mechanical damaged by an external force. The failure is usually at the branch weld to the main line or weldolet. Small bore branches are normally braced for that reason. Bracing shall be to the branch flange in preference to the branch pipe. Nipoflanges shall be used in preference to weldolets.

Small bore brace will not be required on small branches when:
· The branch is continuous and supported and there is no valve within the first span;
· Standard tees are used;
· The piping is used for utility services.

Shoes:
For carbon and stainless steel piping welded shoes shall be used instead of clamped shoes where the temperature limit for clamped shoes has been exceed or where specified / approved by Stress Engineer for strength purposes.

Welded shoes shall not be used on lined piping, piping in expensive material, piping PWHT before shoe installation and piping galvanized before shoe welding.

Long length shoes shall be used where specified by Stress Engineer, a line stop is required or
there is an excessive support movement in longitudinal direction.

On insulated lines the standard shoe height of 100mm can be increased to up to 150mm where the insulation thickness is greater than 75mm. If required, shoes higher than 150mm will be designed by the stress engineer.

Pipe shoes shall be installed centrally on the support steel unless noted otherwise on the piping fabrication isometric.

When the design requires a continuously sloping line, this shall be achieved with the use of variable height shoes in combinations with adjustments of supporting steelwork.

Lines having a design temperature above 120°C shall be supported on shoes because of the
temperature limitations of PTFE isolation pads used with uninsulated lines.

Lines having a design temperature below minus 29°C shall be supported on shoes to avoid cold temperature embritellment of the supporting structural steel.

Trunnions:
Use of trunnion supports will be minimised and approved by Stress Engineer.
Trunnion supports on elbows will be avoided, particularly when a reinforcing pad is required. The use of the trunnion on an elbow with a reinforcing pad shall be approved by the Lead Piping Engineer.

Guides and Line Stops:
Guides and line stops will be installed with the installation tolerance gap of maximum 3mm
on each side of the support unless noted otherwise on the isometric.

Hold down guides shall only be used when specified by Stress Engineer. Using these guides for guiding vertical pipes is not preferred.
Alternative line stops of high load capacity shall only be used when approved by Stress Engineer.

Guide span shall be as per CARBON STEEL & STAINLESS STEEL GUIDE SPACING

U-Bolts:
A U-bolt shall be installed in such a way that the dead weight of the piping is supported by the
structure and not the U-bolt itself.

U-bolts can be used on both horizontal and vertical lines.

Isolation Pads:
Isolation pad (PD-01) made of PTFE is used to support the line and reduce the risk of fretting
corrosion to the underside of the pipe. Isolation pads shall be bonded directly to the structural steel. Bonding / fixing of the isolation pad to the structural steel shall be suitable for the required service life of the support.

Pipe shoes shall be used instead of isolation pads if the temperature limit of the pad bonding
adhesive or material has been exceeded.

Isolation pads are not required under shoes, trunnions, reinforcing pads and on the facings of guides and line stops.

Reinforcing Pads:
Reinforcing pads are typically used to reduce stress level in the pipe wall from welded attachment or high bearing load. They can also be used to protect pipe wall from external corrosion.

Support Span:
Piping will be subject to internal and external loads during topside transportation and installation, environmental loads and operating and transient process loads. Piping movement shall be restrained on all three orthogonal directions allowing sufficient flexibility for thermal expansion and other imposed deflections, such as bridge and wellhead movements.

Small size piping in 2” and below shall be restrained with U-bolts wherever possible. Larger piping shall use guides and line stops with guides installed on every second support on a straight run.

Welded Attachments:
Non-pressure retaining pipe attachments that are enclosed, such as reinforcing pads and trunnions, shall have a vent/test hole to release the gas build up during welding and to provide an inspection point for any pipe leak. The hole shall be tapped with an NPT thread to allow low pressure pneumatic testing after welding.

Special Applications:
Control valve sets will typically be anchored with a line stop and hold-down guide on one side and guided on the other side.

Pig traps will typically be anchored with a line stop and hold-down guide at the pipeline end and guided at the closure end.

Manifolds will typically have guides at each end and a centrally located line stop.
Drain systems with rodding points shall be supported in such a way to withstand rodding loads.

The free pipe ends on Utility Stations shall be securely fixed. That may be accomplished with U-bolts either as guides or anchors.

For piping supported from a pressure vessel the pipe support details and loads will be issued to the Mechanical discipline for incorporation in the pressure vessel design by the vessel supplier.


SUPPORT MATERIAL:
Material for pipe supports can be generally divided into three categories:
1. Welded attachments to piping. The attachments shall be of the same material grade as the
run pipe.
2. Pipe supports or pipe support parts not welded to piping. ASTM A36 or equivalent material can be used unless noted otherwise.
3. Structural pipe supports. Frames fabricated from ASTM A36 or equivalent structural steel
sections and plates.

CORROSION UNDER INSULATION (CUI)

When you see in API 570 exam, you will find the question about the Corrosion Under Insulation.
Corrosion under insulation is difficult to find because of the insulation cover that masks the corrosion problem until it is too late.

Here I would like to share you the meaning of Corrosion under insulation that I got from http://www.wermac.org/.

WHAT IS CORROSION UNDER INSULATION (CUI) ?

CUI is a common problem shared by the refining, petrochemical, power, industrial, onshore and offshore industries.

The problem occurs on carbon steels and 300 series stainless steels. On carbon steels it manifests as generalized or localized wall loss. With the stainless pipes it is often pitting and corrosion induced stress corrosion cracking.

Though failure can occur in a broad band of temperatures, corrosion becomes a significant concern in steel at temperatures between 0 and 149°C and is most severe at about 93°C. Corrosion and corrosion induced stress corrosion cracking rarely occur when operating temperatures are constant above 149°C.

Corrosion under insulation is caused by the ingress of water into the insulation, which traps the water like a sponge in contact with the metal surface. The water can come from rain water, leakage, deluge system water, wash water, or sweating from temperature cycling or low temperature operation such as refrigeration units.

MAINTENANCE COSTS
It is also widely known that the results of CUI are costly. CUI can account for as much as 40 to 60 percent of a company′s piping maintenance costs, can result in repairs in the millions, and lead to significant downtime. Most studies on the topic involve all forms of corrosion and their associated costs without providing the individul cost of corrosion related to insulation.

A study completed in 2001 by a research team of corrosion specialists in the USA reported the direct cost of corrosion under insulation to be $276 billion per year, with that number potentially doubling when indirect costs are also considered.

SYSTEMS SUSCEPTIBLE TO CUI
The American Petroleum Institute code, API 570, Inspection, Repair, Alteration and iterating of In-service Piping Systems, the piping code first published in June 1993, identifies CUI as a special concern. Typically, as happened with API 653 and the Clean Water Act, the API codes become an industry standard, and the regulations demand that organizations maintain a program to meet that standard. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1910 is the rule with the teeth in this case.

API 570 specifies the following areas as susceptibleto CUI:

•Areas exposed to mist overspray from cooling water towers.
•Areas subject to process spills, ingress of moisture, or acid vapors.
•Areas exposed to deluge systems.
•Areas exposed to steam vents.
•Carbon steel piping systems, including those insulated for personnel protection, operating between -4°C and 120°C. CUI is particularly aggressive where operating temperatures cause frequent condensation and re-evaporation of atmospheric moisture.

•Carbon steel piping systems that normally operate in-service above 120°C but are intermittent service.
•Deadlegs and attachments that protrude from insulated piping and operate at a temperature different than the active line.
•Austenitic stainless steel piping systems that operate between 60°C and 204°C. These systems are susceptible to chloride stress corrosion cracking.
•Vibrating piping systems that have a tendency to inflict damage to insulation jacketing providing a path for water ingress.
•Piping systems with deteriorated coatings and/or wrappings.
•Steam traced piping systems that may experience tracing leaks, especially at the tubing fittings beneath the insulation.
•Locations where insulation plugs have been removed to permit thickness measurements on insulated piping should receive particular attentions.

METHODS TO INSPECT CORROSION UNDER INSULATION

There are a number of methods used today to inspect for corrosion under insulation. The main ones are profile radiography, ultrasonic spot readings, and insulation removal.

The other method is real-time X-ray. Real-time X-ray has proven to be a safe, fast and effective method of inspecting pipe in plant operations.

LONG LASTING AND (ALMOST) MAINTENANCE-FREE COATING SYSTEMS
In recent years, the CUI prevention philosophy of many large petrochemical companies has been an inspection-free, maintenance-free concept. Insulated systems particularly piping systems are expected to have a service life of 25 to 30 years. Evaluation of life-cycle savings has led to consideration of new, simple approaches to preventing CUI.

Two of the techniques are:
•Applying thermal spray aluminum (TSA) on carbon steel to prevent general corrosion, and on austenitic stainless steel to prevent stress corrosion cracking.

All thermal spraying processes rely on the same principle of heating a feedstock, accelerating it to a high velocity, and then allowing the particles to strike the substrate. The particles will deform and freeze onto the substrate. The coating is formed when millions of particles are deposited on top of each other. With TSA, these particles are bonded to the substrate mechanically.

The first step of any coating process is surface preparation. This is done by cleaning and white metal grit blasting the surface to be coated. Masking techniques may be adopted for components that only need specific areas coated. The second step is to atomize the aluminum, which is done by introducing the feedstock material into the heat source. The heat source may be produced by either chemical reaction (combustion) or electrical power (twin wire arc spray). Next, the particles are accelerated to the substrate by the gas stream and deform on impact to make a coating. Finally, the coatings are inspected and assessed for quality by either mechanical or microstructural evaluation.

The two common thermal spray techniques used to apply TSA to components are wire flame spray and twin wire electric arc spray. Adhesion to the substrate is considered largely mechanical and is dependent on the work piece being very clean and suitably rough. Roughening is carried out by grit blasting to a white metal condition with a sharp, angular profile in the 50-to-100 micron (2-to-4 mil) range. Flame and arc spraying require relatively low capital investment and are portable; they are often applied in open workshops and on site. Consumables used for TSA with these processes are more than 99-percent purity aluminum wires.

•Using aluminum foil wrapping on austenitic stainless steel pipe to prevent stress corrosion cracking.

Aluminum foil wrapping of austenitic stainless steel has been used successfully for more than 30 years by chemical companies in Europe to prevent ESCC. (This technique has not been widely accepted in the United States.) The aluminum foil provides a moisture barrier and electrochemical protection by preferentially undergoing corrosion and maintaining a safe potential for stainless steel. The system relies on good weatherproofing and the prevention of immersion conditions. It can be applied by the insulation contractor, takes less time to apply than a coating, and requires minimal substrate preparation.

Wrapping pipe with 46 SWG (wire gauge) 0.1-millimeter (mm) aluminum foil can prevent CISCC of stainless steel pipe operating continuously between 60°C and 175°C. The pipe should be wrapped with 50-mm overlap, formed to shed water on the vertical line, and held with aluminum or stainless wire. The foil should be molded around flanges and fittings. Steam-traced lines should be double wrapped, with the first layer applied directly onto the pipe, followed by the steam tracing, and then more foil over the top. On vessels, the aluminum foil is applied in bands held by insulation clips and insulation support rings.
