Half Pipe Coils Relief Protection
Half Pipe Coils Relief Protection
(OP)
Are you required to provide relief protection for fire exposure for half pipe coils welded to the outside of an ASME Sec VIII, Div 1 vessel? The coils would contain water as a coolant. Or, could you say the half pipe coils are no different than piping which typically doesn't require overpressure protection due to fire exposure?

So,how would you feel about having this item installed and operating where you live or work? What if you are the firefighter?
If you have a question about the possiable need for relief protection,perhaps you should install it.

With all due respect deanc, your comments are appreciated but I was hoping to hear from those that may have had actual experience with this. If it is just a safety philosophy issue, then I can leave it up to plant personnel to make the call but it would be interesting to know how others have addressed this issue.
That said, maybe I've not started the thread properly and should have asked if anyone has experience with providing relief protection for half pipe coils.
