dip pipe upside down
(OP)
Good afternoon collegeas,
Does somebody know what a dip pipe with entry from the bottom of a vessel (stops just below the top of the tank) is called?
Thanks in advance for Your replies.

Bottom entry fill pipe?
Doesn't sound right whatever it is - any drawings?

I am not sure what they are using it for. Possibly overflow; possibly some natural liquid separation in the vessel do to different densities and they want to pull a different composition of the vessel contents.

If the customer doesn't tell you what they are using it for, and your firm has not been engaged to verify the suitability of their design for what they are trying to do, you had better not ask them in any official way; just build what they are requesting on a supply-only basis, so as to shield yourselves from liability.
I hate being like that, but today's world sometimes demands it...

It could not be an overflow unless it is much bigger than the inlet nozzle size.
Is the vessel to be used for a cryogenic liquid ?
If so, there are advantages to add liquid in a "gentle manner" rather than dumping it in from the top.

Excuses for my late reaction.
It is a horizontal transporttank ~1m3 with nitrogen inlet- and vent- outletpipe inside till 4" below the top of the tank,
nozzles on the bottomside for easy access, pipe inside tank to prevent damage.
I was just wondering what name the pipe has, they call it a dippipe (doesn't sound right to me, I thought maybe it is called a riserpipe?).
Maybe Matt has it right (standpipe)
I'm not so sure about it.

Although it comes in from the top (at least until you stand on your head to rummage about in a hole), the short debris tube inside a diving cylinder serves a similar purpose.

The nitrogen pushes the liquid uot of the tank,
and the ventpipe is to depressurise.
What I want to know is the name, not a processdescription, because I know.
Greetings and thank You all.

I would term this an "internal vertical vent pipe" as this adequately describes its position and function.
It is a little odd to do it this way so has no normal name.
