Many of the grades of pipe listed in ANSI B31.3 are suitable for non-corrosive hydrocarbon service. The followin

15、g types or grades of pipe are specificall excluded from hydrocarbon ser- vice by ANSI 531.3: (i) All grades of ASTM A120. (2) Furnace lap weid and furnace buttweld. (3) Fusion weld per ASTM A134 and A139. (4) Spiral weld, except API 5L spiral weld. b. Corrosive Hydrocarbon Service. Design for cor- r

16、osive hydrocarbon service should provide for one or more of the following corrosion mitigating practices: (1) chemical treatment: (2) corrosion re sistant allo ; (3) protective coatings (See Para- h 6.5.byOf these, chemical treatment of the in contact with carbon steels is by far the most common pra

17、ctice and is generally recom- mended. Corrosion resistant alloys which have proven successful in similar applications (or by suitable laboratory tests) may be used. If such alloys are used, careful consideration should be given to welding rocedures. Consideration should also be given to t!e possibil

18、ity of sulfide and.chlo- ride stress cracking (See Paragraphs 1.7.c and 1.7.d). Adequate provisions should be made for corrosion monitoring (coupons, probes, spools, etc.) and chemical treating. c. Sulfide Stress Cracking Service. The following guidelines should be used when selecting pipe if sulfid

19、e stress corrosion cracking is anticipated: (i) Only seamless pipe should be used unless quality control applicable to this service has been exercised in manufacturing ERW or SAW pipe. (2) Cold expanded pipe should not be used unless followed by normalizing, quenching and tempering, tempering, or he

(3) Carbon and alloy steels and other materials which meet the property, hardness, heat treatment and other re uirements of NACE MR-01-76 are acceptabpe for use in sulfide stress cracking service. (4) Materials not meeting the metallurgical re- quirements of

The most commonly used pipe grades which will meet the above guidelines are: ASTM A106, Grade B; ASTM A333, Grade 1; and API 5L. Grade B, seamless. API 5L X gr

23、ades are also acce table: however, welding presents s ecial YbLms. To enhance toughness and reduce Erittle racture tendencies, API 5L pipe should be nor- malized for service temperatures below 30“ F. ASTM A333. Grade 1. is a cold service DiDinP material and should have adequate notch Gu 6 ness in th

24、e temperature range covered by this ftP (-20“ to 650F). d. Utilities Service. Materials other than carbon steel are commonly used in utilities service. If, however, steel pipe is used that is of a type or grade not acceptable for hydrocarbon service in accordance with Paragraph 2.l.a, some defi- nit

25、e marking system should be established to prevent such pipe from accidentally being used in hydrocarbon service. One way to accomplish this would be to have all such pipe galvanized. e. Tubing. AISI 316 or AISI 316L stainless steel, seamless or electric resistance welded tubing is preferred for all

26、hydrocarbon service, and air service exposed to sunlight. Tubing used for air service not exposed to sunlight, or instrument tub- ing used for gas service contained in an enclosure, may be made of other materials. If used, synthetic tubing should be selected to withstand degradation caused by the co

27、ntained fluids and the tempera- ture ta which it may be subjected. 2.2 Sizing Criteria - General. In determining the diameter of pipe to be used in platform piping sys- tems, both the flow velocity and pressure drop should be considered. Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 present equa- tions for calculating

28、pipe diameters (and graphs for rapid approximation of pipe diameters) for liquid lines, single-phase gas lines, and gas/liquid two-phase lines, respectively. Many companies also use compu- ter programs to facilitate piping design. a. When determining line sizes, the maximum flow rate expected during

29、 the life of the facility should be considered rather than the initial flow rate. It is also usually advisable to add a surge factor of 20 to 50 percent to the antici- pated normal flow rate, unless surge expecta- tions have been more precisely determined by pulse pressure measurements in similar sy

30、stems or by specific fluid hammer calculation. Table 2.1 presents some typical surge factors that may be used if more definite information is not available. RP 14E: Offshore Production Platform Piping Systems 15 In large diameter flow lines producing liquid- vapor phase fluids between platforms thro

31、ugh riser systems, surge factors have been known to exceed 200% due to slug flow. Refer. to liquid-vapor slug flow programs generally available to Industry for evaluation of slug flow.

For lines transporting liquids in singlephase from one pres- sure vessel to another by pressure differential, the flow veloci should not

At these flow veEties. the overall ressure drop in the iping will usually be small. host of the pressure but the pump required NPSH is typi

36、cally higher than for a centrifugal pump because of pressure drop across the valves and pressure drop caused by pulsa- tion in the flow. Similarly, the available NPSH supplied to the pump suction must account for the acceleration in the suction piping caused by the pulsating flow, as well as the fri

37、ction, velocity and static head. (2) The necessary available pressure differen- tial over the pumped fluid vapor pressure may be defined as net positive suction head available ( NPSH.) . It is the total head in feet absolute determined at the suction nozzle, less the vapor pressure of the liquid in

38、feet absolute. Available NPSH should always equal or exceed the pumps required NPSH. Available NPSH for most pump applications may be calculated using Equation 2.4. divided by 1488. 16 American Petroleum Institute , t/s : a/v s O .- o1 pc .- o, 2/i = O/P */i =alp 2/i = a/v t/i: O/P no li3 OS RP 14E:

42、g, feet/ second. g = gravitational constant (usually 32.2 feet I secondz) . (3) For a centrifugal or rotary pump, the accel- eration head, hi, is zero. For reciprocating pumps, the acceleration head is critical and may be determined by the following equa- tion from the Hydraulics Institute: Eq. 2.5

43、where: h, = acceleration head, feet of liquid. L = length of suction line, feet (actual length, not equivalent length). Vi = average liquid velocity in suction line, feetisecond. Rp = pump speed, revolutionsiminute. C = empirical constant for the type of pump: = .200 for simplex double acting; = .20

NOTE: The constant C will vary from these values for unusual ratios of connecting rod length to cra

45、nk radius. K = a factor representing the reciprocal of the fraction of the theoretical acceleration head which must be provided to avoid a noticeable dis- turbance in the suction piping: = 1.4 for liquid with almost no eom- pressibility (deaerated water) ; = 1.6 for amine, glycol, water; = 2.0 for m

46、ost hydrocarbons; = 2.5 for relatively compressible liq- uid (hot oil or ethane). g = gravitational constant (usually 32.2 feet /secondz). It should be noted that there is not uni- versal acceptance of Equation 2.5 or of the effect of acceleration head (See References b, c and d, Section 2.10). Howe

47、ver, Equation 2.5 is believed to be a conservative basis which will assure adequate provision for acceleration head. - (4) When more than one reciprocating pump is operated simultaneously on a common feed line, at times all crankshafts are in phase and, to the feed system, the multiple pumps act as one pump of that type with a capacity equal to that of all pumps com- bined. In this case, the maximum instan- taneous ve
