  • Facts About Insulation Requirements for Plastic Piping
    INSU L ATION Information from NAIMA: FACTS Facts About Insulation # Requirements for Plastic Piping 85 All current building energy codes and standards require pipe insulation on service hot water and HVAC piping. In this issue we discuss how much insulation is needed for domestic hot and cold service water systems and for HVAC systems in commercial and industrial buildings. While requirements vary, none of the model codes differentiates pipe insulation requirements based on pipe material. The amount of insulation needed depends on the design objectives of the system and the properties of the specific pipe material. Plastic piping for domestic hot and cold service water systems and for Common Plastic Piping HVAC systems in buildings is the Materials dominant piping material for residential construction, and is ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene also used routinely in commercial Styrene) and industrial applications.

  • Applications of Centrifugally-Cast Alloy Piping and Pipe Fittings in Onshore and Offshore Oil and Gas Production
    1 Applications of centrifugally-cast alloy piping and pipe fittings in onshore and offshore oil and gas production G. L. Swales ARSM, BSc, FIM, C.Eng. is a consultant to the Nickel Development Institute European Technical Information Centre, Birmingham, England INTRODUCTION The petrochemical and oil refining divisions of major oil companies have for many years been extensive users of centrifugally-cast alloy pipe and tube mainly, though by no means exclusively, for high-temperature furnace tubes in steam hydrocarbon reforming furnaces for production of hydrogen, ammonia, methanol synthesis gas and in stream cracking furnaces for olefin production. On the contrary, the oil and gas production sectors have until the last few years made very little use of centricast pipe and tube; notable exceptions are the fairly extensive use of centricast bodies in austenitic and duplex stainless steels for barrel pumps for water injection service and centricast aluminum bronze spools for rising mains for seawater pumps on offshore platforms. However, in recent years there have been cases where centricast heavy wall alloy tubes and pipes have been used with considerable economic benefit and in some cases have substantially eased heavy wall pipe availability/delivery problems, particularly where relatively small quantities of pipe are involved. Such applications have, to date, included onshore flowlines, stainless subsea manifolds in duplex stainless steel, Christmas tree flow loops in martensitic stainless steel and topside production and test manifolds, in medium nickel alloys. An important development emanating from pipe foundries is the production of internally-clad steel pipe using centrifugal casting techniques. Production of bimetallic pipe by centricasting is itself not a new technique, formerly having been applied to high-temperature petrochemical furnace tubes to obtain the best combination of external corrosion resistance and pressure-containing capability at high temperature.

To consistently make good solvent welded joints, the following should be clearly understood and adhered to: • The joining surfaces must be softened (dissolved) and made semi-fluid. • Sufficient solvent cement must be applied to fill the gap between pipe and fitting. • Assembly of pipe and fitting must be made while the surfaces are still wet and fluid. • Joint strength develops as the solvent cement dries. In the tight part of the joint, the surfaces will tend to fuse together; in the loose part, the solvent cement will bond to both surfaces. 2. Penetration and dissolving can be achieved by the solvent cement itself, a suitable primer, or by the use of both primer and solvent cement. A suitable primer will penetrate and dissolve the plastic more quickly than solvent cement alone.

  • Chapter 6 155 Design of PE Piping Systems
    Chapter 6 155 Design of PE Piping Systems Chapter 6 Design of PE Piping Systems Introduction Design of a PE piping system is essentially no different than the design undertaken with any ductile and flexible piping material. The design equations and relationships are well-established in the literature, and they can be employed in concert with the distinct performance properties of this material to create a piping system which will provide very many years of durable and reliable service for the intended application. In the pages which follow, the basic design methods covering the use of PE pipe in a variety of applications are discussed. The material is divided into four distinct sections as follows: Section 1 covers Design based on Working Pressure Requirements. Procedures are included for dealing with the effects of temperature, surge pressures, and the nature of the fluid being conveyed, on the sustained pressure capacity of the PE pipe. Section 2 deals with the hydraulic design of PE piping. It covers flow considerations for both pressure and non-pressure pipe. Section 3 focuses on burial design and flexible pipeline design theory. From this discussion, the designer will develop a clear understanding of the nature of pipe/soil interaction and the relative importance of trench design as it relates to the use of a flexible piping material. Finally, Section 4 deals with the response of PE pipe to temperature change. As with any construction material, PE expands and contracts in response to changes in temperature. Specific design methodologies will be presented in this section to address this very important aspect of pipeline design as it relates to the use of PE pipe.

Whitesides, P.E. Introduction Pipe, What is It? Without a doubt, one of the most efficient and natural simple machines has to be the pipe. By definition it is a hollow cylinder of metal, wood, or other material, used for the conveyance of water, gas, steam, petroleum, and so forth. The pipe, as a conduit and means to transfer mass from point to point, was not invented, it evolved; the standard circular cross sectional geometry is exhibited even in blood vessels. Pipe is a ubiquitous product in the industrial, commercial, and residential industries. It is fabricated from a wide variety of materials - steel, copper, cast iron, concrete, and various plastics such as ABS, PVC, CPVC, polyethylene, and polybutylene, among others. Pipes are identified by nominal or trade names that are proximately related to the actual diametral dimensions. It is common to identify pipes by inches using NPS or Nominal Pipe Size. Fortunately pipe size designation has been standardized. It is fabricated to nominal size with the outside diameter of a given size remaining constant while changing wall thickness is reflected in varying inside diameter. The outside diameter of sizes up to 12 inch NPS are fractionally larger than the stated nominal size.
