Spring Support Lock
Spring Support Lock
(OP)
Good Day!
I just want to ask regarding the spring support condition during revamp/recondition of a pipeline. Does the existing spring support needs to be locked again before doing the changes in the pipeline specially if the spring support is near the pump? This is for the purpose of avoiding the misalignment between pipeline and pump nozzle.
Thank you and hope for your idea.
Sincerely,
marchie

The above scenario probably doesn't apply much considering this is pipeline and pumping station related but the logic still stands. Chocking is probably recommended especially if this is a liquid line that you're about to deinventory. Ask yourself the question "If I do this work and don't chock it, what happens?"
Thanks,

Reanalyze the pipe thermals with the new configuration and make appropriate adjustments to your can and reconnect, minding that you do not change the pump alignment. Never the less check the pump alignment after reconnection and adjust as necessary.
