13. What should be the radius of long radius elbow?

Answer:

1.5D (Where “D” is the diameter of the pipe)

14. Normally where do we use the following?

i. Eccentric reducers ii)Concentric reducers

Answer:

i. Eccentric reducers = Pump suction to avoid Cavitation, To maintain elevation (BOP) in

rack.

ii. Concentric reducers = Pump discharge, vertical pipeline etc.

15.Concentric reducer is used in pump suction. (Yes / No). Explain.

Answer:

No. Air pockets may form if concentric reducer is used at pump suction, which results in

Cavitation, and cause damage to Pump. To avoid this problem, Eccentric Reducer with

Flat Side Up (FSU)is used in Pump Suction.

16. What do you mean by Cavitation in Pump?

A pump is designed to handle liquid, not vapour. Vapour forms if the pressure in the

pump falls below the liquid’s vapour pressure . The vapour pressure occurs right at the

impeller inlet where a sharp pressure drop occurs. The impeller rapidly builds up the

pressure which collapses vapour bubbles causing cavitation and damage . This is

avoided by maintaining sufficient NPSH.

(Cavitation implies cavities or holes in the fluid we are pumping. These holes can also

be described as bubbles, so cavitation is really about the formation of bubbles and their

collapse. Bubbles form when ever liquid boils. It can be avoided by providing sufficient

NPSH.)

17. What do you mean by NPSH? How do you calculate it?

W.P EL.“A”

W.P.EL –100.050

3 ∅Pipe

5000

50

Slope 1:100

NPSH: Net Positive Suction Head. NPSH is the pressure available at the pump suction

after vapour pressure is substarcted.

It is calculated as : Static head + surface pressure head - the vapor pressure of your

product - the friction losses in the piping, valves and fittings.

It thus reflects the amount of head loss that the pump can sustain internally before

vapour pressure is reached.

18. What is the ASTM code for the following?

20. What is the thumb rule to calculate Current required for Welding?

Answer:

Current (Amp) = [ Diameter of Electrode (mm) X 40] + 20

21. What is steam tracing? How do we decide the location of SSM & CRM.

Answer:

Steam Tracing is a process which is used to prevent the fluid passing through a

process line from freezing by keeping the temperature high enough for free flow of fluid

and thus maintaining pumpability.

SSM and CRM are generally located 38M max for open system and 24 M max for

closed system when we use LP Steam up to 3.5 kg/sq cm. as a heating media.

that of the mating face of flange.( Brinnel hardness for RTJ groove shall be 20-50 BHN

more than the corresponding gasket hardness)

31. From which side of pipe will you take a branch connection?

Ans:When Fluid is Gas, Air or Steam and Cryogenic Service – Topside.

When Fluid is Liquid – Bottom Side.

32. Why don’t we take a branch for Cryogenic Service from bottom side though the

fluid is in liquid state?

Ans:There is the chance of Ice formation during normal operation and since ice flows

from the bottom of the pipe it will block the branch pipe connection.

33. Why do we provide Drip Leg in Steam Line?

Ans:To remove Condensate when there is a rise in the pipe along the flow direction. If

we do not provide the drip leg in steam line, the condensate which forms inside the pipe

will result in Water Hammer effect causing damage to piping system.

25. What do you mean by Hoop Stresses and how do you calculate it?

Ans:Stresses which are generated circumferancially due to the action of Internal

pressure of pipe are called as Hoop Stress. It is calculated by

Hoop Stress (Sh) = Pdo / 4t

Where P = Force Acting from Inside.

Do = OD of Pipe.

t= Pipe Thickness.

26. How does Hoop Stress affect the system?

Ans: As per membrane theory for pressure design of cylinder, as long as hoop stress

is less than yield stress of Moc, the design is safe. Hoop stress induced by thermal

pressure is twice the axial stress (SL). This is widely used for pressure thickness

calculation for pressure vessel.

27. What is the design standard followed for the calculation of allowable forces /

Moments in nozzles of centrifugal compressor & Steam turbines nozzle?

loadings and moments in equipment within allowable limits furnished by respective

vendors or in absence of vendor data API 560/610/615/621/661 & NEMA SM23.

NEMA – SM 23 (Referred by API 617) is used for compressor & steam turbine nozzle.

28. What is the mill tolerence to be considered for the thickness of pipe during

Answer : iv

29. What is the purpose of providing Graphite Pads in supports below shoes?

Answer : To reduce the friction factor. The co-efficient of friction for Graphite Pads is

0.1

30. How is piping to Tank inlet nozzle is supported and why?

Ans: Piping to Tank Nozzle is supported with Spring type support (first support from

Nozzle) in order to make the Nozzle safe from the loads which occurs due to the

displacement of pipe (thermal expansion of pipe / tank material, tank settlement etc).

31. What are the two types of flexible spring hangers?

1. Constant Spring and 2. Variable Spring

32. What is the difference between Variable Spring Hanger and Constant Spring

Hanger?

Ans: Variables use coiled springs to support a load and allow movement. The

resistance of the coil to a load changes during compression, which is why these devices

are called "variables". Constant Spring Hanger provides constant support force for

pipes and equipment subjected to vertical movement due to thermal expansion at

locations where maintaining a constant stress is critical. This constant resistance is

achieved by having two moment arms pivoted about a common point. The load is

suspended from one of these arms, and a spring is attached to the other. With an

appropriate choice of moment arms and spring properties, a resisting force can be

provided that is nearly independent of position.

Constant support hangers are principally used to support pipes and equipment

subjected to vertical movement due to thermal expansion at locations where transfer of

stress to other supports or equipment can be critical. The maximum recommended

variation according to MSS standard from the operating load is 25% for variable spring

hangers. If the variation exceeds 25%, a constant support hanger should be used.

The constant resistance to a load is achieved by combining a spring coil with a cam

which rotates about a main pivot point. The cam is designed such that the distances

from the main pivot changes to compensate for the variable resistance during

compression of the coil. The MSS standard provides for a tolerance of 6% in the

constant load through the travel range. Constant support hangers are designed per

MSS, ANSI, and ASME standards.

The sizing of constants primarily depends on the total travel and load.

33. How much should be the difference between the load which will be taken by

Variable Spring Hanger during Cold and Hot condition of Pipe?

Ans: It should be Maximum 25% of Load for which Spring is designed.

34. Differentiate between static load and dynamic load.

Ans: A piping system may respond far differently to a dynamic load than it would to a

static

load of the same magnitude. Static loads are those which are applied slowly enough

that the system has time to react and internally distribute the loads, thus remaining in

equilibrium. In equilibrium, all forces and moments are resolved (i.e., the sum of the

forces and moments are zero), and the pipe does not move.

With a dynamic load—a load which changes quickly with time—the piping system may

not have time to internally distribute the loads, so forces and moments are not always

resolved—resulting in unbalanced loads, and therefore pipe movement. Since the sum

of forces and moments are not necessarily equal to zero, the internally induced loads

can be different—either higher or lower—than the applied loads.

35. Give different types of dynamic loads with example

Ans:

1.  Random – Wind, Earthquake

2.  Harmonic – Equipment Vibration, Pulsation, Acoustic Vibration

Impulse – Fluid Hammer, relief valve opening, slug flow

76.  What is Dynamic Analysis and why it is used?

Ans: Dynamic analysis is performed for all two phase lines in order to ensure that the

line supported is safe from vibrations loads which may occur during normal operation as

well as in start up or any upset condition.(Diesel mixed with hydrogen in DHDT process)

36. What is WRC 107 / WRC 297?

Ans:Localised stresses at Nozzle to Shell is calculated by WRC 107 / 297 and these

computed stress values shall be limited in accordance with ASME Sec VIII for Pressure

Vessels.

37. How to get the Foundation Loads?

Ans:Foundation Loads for pipe rack should include the loads of Pipes, Cable Trays

and Instrumentation duct at that location and also the design load for future tier shall be

full load of the most heavily loaded tier in addition to all other wind/seismic/fraction and

piping thermal loads for future pipes.

Load of pipes filled with water( Largest of 1

st

case– During hydrotesting dead

weight(wt/m X piperack spacing) of pipes + 2 –3 maximum size pipes filled with water

2

nd

case– Actual commissioned condition except the gas lines ) + Proportionate wt of

extra space required by client (normal 30%) + Load of 1 heavily loaded tier + Electrical

cables + Instrument duct + Guide load for 50% of lines

Guide Load = 0.3X(Dead wt of pipes at including water)

The maximum induced thermal loads on the Anchor at the battery limit shall be limited

to

F in kg <= 150 X NB of pipe in inches (It should be <2 tonnes)

M in Kgm <=75 X NB of pipe in inches.

Horizontal Load = 0.3 X (Dead wt of pipes including water)

This load is used for designing of foundation bolts.

Foundation loads for any vessel having agitator mounted on top should contain weight

of tank at operating or design condition (whichever is more) plus 20% of it for dynamic

loading.

38. What is the maximum expansion absorbed in loops in normal design?

expansion of jacket pipe

The stress developed due to this should be within limits as per ANSI B31.3

(Also fabrication constraints)

40. What is the factor to be checked concerning the expansion of header attached

to air cooler piping?

Ans:Vendor drawing to be checked to see how much movement is permitted to

compensate line expansion. To accommodate the diff. Expansion between inlet and

outlet (The inlet temperature >The outlet temperature) offset can be built in to outlet

piping to compensate for diff.expansion.

Since the tubes are of floating design the nozzle flange is of 150# and loads transferred

are to be kept minimum.

Since the tubes are of floating design, the nozzle flange is 150#. Load of the nozzle to

be kept minimum.

41. What is the maximum no. of cell nozzles connected to a single header of air

cooler piping header in normal practice?

Ans: Six nos.

42. What is fluid hammer and how it is generated?

Ans:When the flow of fluid through a system is suddenly halted at one point, through

valve closure or a pump trip, the fluid in the remainder of the system cannot be stopped

instantaneously as well. As fluid continues to flow into the area of stoppage (upstream

of the valve or pump), the fluid compresses, causing a high pressure situation at that

point. Likewise, on the other side of the restriction, the fluid moves away from the

stoppage point, creating a low pressure (vacuum) situation at that location. Fluid at the

next elbow or closure along the pipeline is still at the original operating pressure,

resulting in an unbalanced pressure force acting on the valve seat or the elbow.

The fluid continues to flow, compressing (or decompressing) fluid further away from

the point of flow stoppage, thus causing the leading edge of the pressure pulse to move

through the line. As the pulse moves past the first elbow, the pressure is now equalized

at each end of the pipe run, leading to a balanced (i.e., zero) pressure load on the first

pipe leg. However the unbalanced pressure, by passing the elbow, has now shifted to

the second leg. The unbalanced pressure load will continue to rise and fall in sequential

legs as the pressure pulse travels back to the source (or forward to the sink). The ramp

up time of the profile roughly coincides with the elapsed time from full flow

to low flow, such as the closing time of the valve or trip time of the pump. Since the

leading edge of the pressure pulse is not expected to change as the pulse travels

through the system, the ramp down time is the same. The duration of the load from

initiation through the beginning of the down ramp is equal to the time required for the

pressure pulse to travel the length of the pipe leg.

43. What is the purpose of expansion bellows?

Ans:Expansion bellows are used absorb axial compression or extension, lateral shear

or angular torsion developed in the pipes (specially near nozzles)

44. You have to connect a 20” pipe to a manhole of existing tank , how will you

go about in carrying out the suitability of the manhole flange.

45. What should be the material of shoes for supporting AS pipes & why?

Ans:If CS shoes are used Pad in contact with the pipe to be of Alloy steel to avoid

dissimilar welding at pipe. To avoid alloy steel welding and dissimilar welding fabricated

clamps either of CS or SS can be used.

46. What is the allowable stress range for CS pipes.

Ans:2070 kg/cm

2

47. What are sway braces?

Ans:Sway Braces are essentially a double-acting spring, housed in a canister. Unlike

variable effort supports, Sway Braces are not intended to carry the weight of pipework;

their purpose is to limit undesirable movement. Sway Braces act like a rigid strut until a

small preload is reached, whereafter the restraining force increases in proportion to the

applied deflection.Fig. 1

Undesirable movement can occur due to many phenomena, such as wind loading,

sympathetic vibration, rapid valve closure, relief valves opening, two phase flow or

earthquake. It may be necessary to limit this type of deflection to prevent the

generation of unacceptable stresses and equipment loadings.

The Sway Brace is a cost-effective means of limiting pipework deflection. It should be

noted however that it does provide some resistance to the thermal movement of the

pipework and care should be taken when specifying to ensure that this is acceptable.

Installation of Sway Braces will have the effect of raising the fundamental frequency of

vibration of a pipework system; this is likely to reduce undesirable deflections. Sway

Braces are often used to solve unforeseen problems of resonant vibration. For

situations where the resistance to thermal movement provided by Sway Braces is

unacceptable, you are referred to Pipe Supports Limited’s range of hydraulic snubbers

and dampers.

50. In an offsite pipe rack change in direction during analysis it is found two

adjacent pipes are having unequal expansion with the inner pipe having 50 cm

thermal expansion. What can be done to eliminate collision during hot condition.

Ans: Use Cold Pull technique. Calculate the thermal expansion of the inside pipe, cut an

equal length form the elbow joint and then reweld with a shorter length to take care of

expansion in hot condition.

51. What are the Insulation material used for piping systems.
