Distance between U/G pipeline and train tracks
Distance between U/G pipeline and train tracks
(OP)
Good morning,
I have a pipeline 12'' diameter crosses the train tracks, my questions are as follows:
1) What is the distance between the train tracks and U/G pipeline diameter 12''?
2) Can I use a distance d = 1x External diameter (i.e. d. 12’’)?
3) Is that the code specifies this distance?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.

In future please state which dimension you are asking about, vertical, or horizontal distance. "Distance" used alone has more use for indicating horizontal dimensions, where height, or clear height, for vertical dimension, or better yet, post a diagram.

The project consists of design of a pipeline 12'' diameter to a ship loading installation (crude oil). This pipeline goes under a railway (the train carries usually oil citterns), for 3 m distance. This pipeline is located inside an industrial area.
Please note the pipe is installed horizontally with respect to ground level.
Is that the catholic protection is required for the small portion (3 m) of the pipe?
Thank you in advance

The railroad will also charge a fee for the crossing.
Stray currents and cathodic protection are two different things. Stray currents are typically mentioned as possible problems by persons who lack knowledgeable about electrical systems.

Too long didn't read? - 10 ft minimum for uncased crossings

Thank you for clarify my concern,
1)Bimr and Konman
In my case the railway is within an industrial area not for public services. The preliminary technical file is only approved by organization technical control.
For your information the pipe is completely underground and purchased with coating, the catholic protection, I speak only for the small section that crosses the railway.
Thank you for the links you have attached.
Konman
I do not understand your question; you speak of 10’’ diameter for the jacket? If this is the case, the diameter of the pipe is 12''?????? Your opinion please.

Really, I find it difficult to improve my English because my mother language is French. I know that English is an international language and it is very useful in the industry. My questions and my answers are always written in French and then translated into English are through Google translation.
Thank you for the advice.

Yes uncased option does not exist for underground piping to the passage of road and railway.
Thank you for your message.
Time is money, thank you again and good day
