Hot tap standards/books, etc. 1

[hcjulien]

Hi,

I'm searching for good books or references about piping hot taping. Except the API standard RP 2201 (API Recommended Practice 2201, Safe Hot Tapping Practices in the Petroleum & Petrochemical Industries, Fifth Edition), do you have other recommendations?

Regards,

hcjulien

API 653 has a chapter on hot taps

 

[97S281]

This book (

http://www.amazon.com/Piping-Pipelines-Assessment-Stationary-Equipment/dp/0750678801)

has a chapter (chapter 7) discussing hot tapping.


You can go to google books (

http://books.google.com/)

and to a search for "piping and pipelines" and the first link that you see should be this book. You can scroll down to chapter 7 and review the chapter (the entire chapter isn't available, only portions of it).

PRCI has some good information and a computer program that deal with the in-service welding portion of the hot tap.

I has models for both branch and full encirclement type taps. Also allows models of both gas and liquid.
