In bitumen storage tank seismic design (for SUG III) we have to consider a large freeboard.
this area will increase the explosion risk of the tank.
how can we fulfill the api code without increasing the freeboard.
Can anybody share some information about suction heater for diesel oil storage tanks, drawing and details such as power density, temperature control,...
Thank you all in advance
I am involved in design of a BITUMEN storage tank complex.
In API 650, we have only some strength consideration related to hot operating temperature.
Where can find more details for hot service storage tanks, because for example stress due to expanding and contracting of the tank (during...
I've recently integrated a new pump at a boiler feed water plant that is in addition to three existing pumps.
Three old pumps are identical(2 motor driven and one steam turbine driven pumps) with 73m shut off head.
The new pump (Steam turbine driven) is smaller and have 58m shut off head.
When...
We are looking for a procedure for hot tapping a 4" branch on a 12" run pipe superheated steam 430C and 50Bar.
The line is 25 years old.
Cn anybody help me?
Hi, we have a steam line supplying steam for some steam turbines,
we are going to take a new branch and supply 7000kg/h for a new installed steam turbine.
how can I check if the size of main line is enough or not?
the main line is 12inch
pressure is 48 bar.
the temperature is 430 deg C.
how can...
Hi!, I am not so familiar with Caesar II, But I have some questions:
1-after running the program how can we change the supports to reduce the nozzle loads.
2-when we assign the friction coefficient to +y restrictions, then the program will start nonlinear solution and it will take long time, is...
I am involved in designing a steam turbine piping system.
the inlet flange is 4" and outlet is 8"
as per NEMA SM-23 page 45:
the allowable load for nozzle are: Fx=447 lb, Fy=1118 lb, Fz=894 lb, Mx=2236 lb-ft, My=1118 lb-ft, Mz=1118 lb-ft
I used Caesar II to model the system, the forces are less...
I am going to design a steam driven pump piping.
is that possible to install the safety valve after the gate valve in turbine exhaust?
We have not enough area to install it before gate valve.
Thank you!
Hi,
i have to add some piping spool to an existing piping system, then I must manufacture a 28" slip on flange with 40 holes 22mm dia.
can anybody tell me how can I find standard dimensions for Plate Flanges 28" manufactured as per JPI standard 7s-43.
I need BCD, OD, ID, NO. & DIA. OF HOLES...
can anybody advise me how can I solve the pump overheating.
I have a flowserve DMX pump, the pump bearings has failure due to overheating. Overheating is due to low flow, can I use an ARC valve to increase the flow and modify the pump working piont?
