tickle,
thank you for your support. In my opinion you've described two possible ways to size up a hazardous area:
first based on API RP is design by formulae and graphical method, second (let me say smarter) is a design by analysis (e.g. using Phast software). That two methods should give us...
IGE/SR/25 is a technical document (safety recommendations) prepared by english Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers called "Hazardous area classification of Natural Gas installations". I'm from Poland, but I think this document is worldwide known (specially in british commonwealth) and...
I'm trying to find dimendions of hazardous area for vent stack according to IGE/SR/25. Vent stack has 300 mm diameter and is attached to natural gas transmission pipeline ID=1400 mm (conditions inside are: pressure p= 84 bar, temperature T=293 °K). Based on formula in 5.2.3.2 of IGE/SR/25...
Thanks for help 1969grad. Since start of November I've found some intresting informations on the internet sites on it how to monitor and eventualy lower a pipeline while in service. Ii'll be more helpful for me to know how to preserve a pipeline on the design stage? I've made also a strength...
Could anybody give me tip on where can I find any information about natural gas pipeline design, laying on mining area? How should I include existence of surface subsidences in strength calculation? How to protect such pipeline against damage?
Does It exist a simple way to find allowable level of vibration for gas piping systems with reciprocating compressors? Where should I look for any information?
