pipeline drying acceptance criteria standard

pipeline drying acceptance criteria standard

pipeline drying acceptance criteria standard

(OP)
after hydro testing of pipeline , de-wattering and drying what is the required dew point value ? and what is the reference standard?
pipeline construction according ASME B31.8 for gas transportation.

RE: pipeline drying acceptance criteria standard

Dew point is whatever you want it to be. No set standard other than what the operator wants.

Dew point of minus 10 or 20 C is fairly common for natural gas, but if you're transporting well fluids don't bother.

If it's lng then you might need to go much lower or avoid water all together.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

RE: pipeline drying acceptance criteria standard

It is the rate of increase, not the value itself, of the dew point that is important. If dew point goes from -20 to -10 degC in pipe A, and dew point stays -5 degC in pipe B, all other factors being equal, most likely is that pipe B is drier that pipe A.
