    Low pressure alarms in pipelines

    How to determine low pressure value settings in pipelines ? Say for instance, that the design pressure of a pipeline is 1100 psig, and the normal operating pressure is 850 psig. At what pressure should I set a low & low-low pressure alarm that'd warn me of an irregular condition ? Thanks.

    Hot tapping in low pressure tank

    I d like to hot tap (install two- 2 inch nozzels) a small tank that contains crude oil. This tank was designed under API 650. I was checking this standard, but since this code governs design, does not indicate me how to hot tap it. What standard can I look for guiding me thru ?
