    Gas Separator Liquid Dump Orifice

    It is common practice to use a flow limiting orifice downstream of the level control valve on gas separators. The purpose is to limit the gas flow rate in the event that the level control valve sticks open and blows gas. What is the rational for sizing this orifice as far as flow rate.

    Building Load Combinations

    I work in the oil and gas area and need to upgrade our specs for pre-engineered metal buildings used for compressor buildings, meter buildings, etc. If we specify IBC instead of UBC does this code specify the load combinations for design? Or do we need to reference the metal building specs for...
