cation.

marks for each Supplier valve mark used.
5.0 LINE SIZING
5.1 General
1. Lines shall be sized for the most economical overall design.
2. Effects of line loss, pump characteristics, equipment and control valve pressure drops shall be
considered.
3. Final design shall be based on largest total pressure drop consistent with economy, ease of
operation, and noise abatement.
5.2 Sizing Criteria

1. Unless limited otherwise, maximum line velocity shall be governed by such factors as erosion
and noise.
2. Apparent velocities of vapor-liquid mixtures shall not exceed:
C
V = ------- V = Velocity (fps) at flowing conditions
E
E = Density (lb/cf) at flowing conditions

Recommended values of C for steel pipelines are as follows:
Fluid Recommended C
Two Phase 100
Liquids 155
Liquids with sand 130
Liquids with silt 100
Liquids - Minimum 20
3. Surging in two-phase mixture (e.g., vapor-liquid) lines shall be prevented. Vertical risers shall
be avoided or minimized and shall not be pocketed.
4. Unless otherwise specified, line size shall be in accordance with API 14E.
5.3 Specific Services
5.3.1 Water Lines

1. Pressure drop in water lines may be computed on the basis of API 14E, with total pres-
sure drop consistent with available head.
2. Velocity of Suction Lines
a. Service conditions below 150°F and below 5000 gpm shall conform to general
criteria in API 14E.
b. For flow rates of 5000 to 30,000 gpm, individual pump or branch suction shall be
limited to 5 fps. Common suction header shall be limited to 3 fps.
c. For flow rates greater than 30,000 gpm, appropriate velocity shall be determined
by engineering analysis.
3. Velocity of Discharge Lines
a. Lines less NPS 18, except intermittent service, shall be limited to 7 fps.
b. Lines greater than or equal to NPS 18 shall be limited to 9 fps.
5.3.2 Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) Lines

1. Line Sizing
a. The upstream and downstream line shall be sized based on the rated capacity of
the PSV.
b. To avoid valve chattering the upstream line shall be sized such that the pressure
loss is below 3% of valve set pressure.
c. Pilot operated valves can tolerate a higher inlet-pipe pressure loss when the pilot
senses the system's pressure at a point that is not affected by inlet-pipe pressure
drop.
d. The upstream line size should be at least equal to the PSV inlet nozzle size.
2. Back Pressure

a. The maximum back pressure on PSVs should be determined by consulting API

520/521.
b. Normally the maximum back pressure on a spring loaded PSV is 10% of set point.
c. The backpressure on a bellows type conventional PSV may be limited by the bel-
lows design pressure.
d. If the backpressure on a PSV goes above 30-50% of set pressure the flow in the
PSV may become subsonic. This is normally not advisable, as the flow through
the PSV becomes unstable. For special applications it may be acceptable, but then
after due consideration of all aspects.
3. Velocity
a. Maximum flowing velocity in the lines downstream of the PSVs to the first sub-
header, shall in general be less than 0.7 Mach.
b. For the PSVs where the outlet velocity is higher, a reducer shall be installed as
close as possible to the PSV to increase line size and hence limit the velocity to
max 0.7 Mach downstream of the reducer.
c. Nevertheless, the actual back pressure at the PSV outlet and in the block valve
shall be checked to be consistent with back pressure limitations.

NOTES
01 Where "Calc" is shown, the pressure limit may be lower than full flange rating.
02 All Butt-welded component thickness shall match pipe thickness.
03 Threaded joints are permitted only at outlet of vent and drain valves, at hydrostatic connections, at outlet of instrument take -off valves and to
match equipment.
05 Integrally reinforced branch connections are permitted outside the sizes shown in the branch connection tables for special applications (e.g.,
hot tap connections, etc.). Designer shall check PWHT requirements.
06 T/SW valves shall be used only for vent, drain, and instrument connectio ns.
08 Full port valves shall be used when indicated on the P&ID.
09 Pressure and temperature may be limited. Refer to manufacturer's restrictions.
11 Provide flat face flanges adjacent to flat face equipment nozzles.
14 Use full-face gaskets at flat face flanges.
18 Sch 80 pipe and pipe nipples shall be used for threaded connections for sizes NPS 1/2 - 1-1/2.
26 To be used only when indicated on P&ID.
27 Pipe and pipe components thicker than 1/2 inch may require impact testing at minimum design temperatures less than 100 F.
61 Install in horizontal position with cover up.
62 Install in horizontal position with cover up or in vertical position with up ward flow.
63 Install in horizontal position with hinge pin vertical or in vertical position with upward flow.
