This two-volume set on Process Piping Design has been written to supple-
ment my first book, Process Piping Drafting. | have purposely used a very
practical writing style for both of these efforts, a/:slying my personal practical
experience rather than trying to present the technical aspects of piping. In
Process Piping Design 1 have elected to have each chapter self-sustaining. £
have reproduced some charts and tables but only those required in learning the
basics of piping design
To become a competent piping designer requires many years of experience
plus a talent for creative thinking. Piping designers must call on their
knowledge for each design job but also must apply their owa ingenuity daily. I
like to call that horse sense.
Many piping designers have told me that their job is 25% knowledge, 25%
experience and 50% horse sense, This book will try to deal with the first 25%
and touch on the last 50%
Fluor Corporation has been very. farsighted by sastigating piping drafting
and piping design training classes and they have been very generous in allow-
ing me to reproduce some of their instructional material. 1 wish to take this
opportunity to thank Fluor for its assistance.

FOsgalten 345 Gr]Introduction
In a refining or petrochemical complex, piping constitutes the major expen
diture of all the design disciplines. Piping consumes abaut SO% of the desiga
engineering manhours, 35% of the material cost of the plant and about 30% of
the labor cost in the field, Inept piping design in the office can increase the cost
of @ plant.
The design engineering department of a contractor designing refinery or
petrochemical complexes consists of four main functions: piping, structural,
electrical and vessels. The piping section encompasses flow diagrams, model
making, insulation and painting. piping material take-off, piping material
control, instrument design and piping design itself,
Experienced piping designers know the functions of all of these groups.
-They also must have a broad knowledge of the structural, electrical and vessel
sections, And they must know the many pieces of equipment that they must
pipe up, the numerous details of piping, the materials necessary for various
services, piping flexibility basics and field construction practices. Then comes
4 general knowledge of plant operation and maintenance. When all of this is
considered, it is easy to see why there is always a shortage of experienced,
competent piping designers.
Ironically, piping design is the one subject that has been neglected in the
school systems. This is largely duc to the fact that adequate textbooks were
not available. No book can teach a person to become a piping designer but it
can teach the fundamentals and how to apply thems. lo become a designer1 General Piping
The dictionary desciibes pipe as a Tong tube of
clay, concrete, metal, wood, etc., for conveying
water, gas, oil or other fluids. A fluid is defined as
any substance that can flow-liquid or gas.
Pipe has been with us for over S000 years
Each year introduces new purposes for piping
which create demands for new and improved mate-
rial specifications and ingenuity on the part of the
piping designer. Piping has advanced from its ear-
lior function of transporting-water through wooden
conduits from the mountains’ melting snow to the
village below. Today piping can be found almost
any place one looks, from the piping in an automo:
bile to the complicated maze of piping in a process
plant
A piping designer is one who designs piping
systems, Since piping is so widely used, the piping
ers cannot learn the complete field of piping
intly they have become more special:
into the fields of pracess piping, pipe
line piping, steam power plant piping or one of the
many other eategories.
Process piping design is, in the author's estima-
tion, the most interesting specialization in the
piping field. Each process piping unit presents 2
how challenge to the designer. Each plant is custom
and while there is -some similarity be-
nit of $0,000 barrels a day und one
designed,
tween a crude
of 75,000 barrels a day, there is no duplication. A
piping designer may work on two or three crude
units in his entire carcer. These are fiterally hun-
dreds of different types of units in a refinery or
petrochemical complex. Each type of onit presents
its own piping challenges.
How, then, can one learn process pipin
from a bork? It can’t be done. A book can present
the basic similarities that exist in many’ types of
units and introduce guidelines for competent de-

Seamless pipe is made from hot, round solid
billets of steel. A mandrel is centered and pene=

consequently, the 124% tolerance is imposed.

Storage Tank Design
In snany companies the design of atmospheric
storage tanks rests with the piping designer since it
is 9 nonpsessure vessel. It Hhen becomes his task
not only to orient the nozzles but to specify the
tank materials and. sizes, To do this he must have
more than a passing knowledge of tank design and
matgrial specifications.
Tank materials for hydrocarbon service are di-
vided into three busic types: intermediate strength
steels such as ASTM A285-C for general service
(also ASTM A516 for atmospheric and low-temper
ature service and ASTM ASUS for intermediate aad
higher temperature service), high-yield strength
slvels used for harger and taller tanks (0 keep shetl
ihbeknesses 10 mininitum (ASTM ASI and A517)
and the low-temperature steels used for pressure
containing tak (ASTM AS37). Water tanks are
specified usually as A283-C, a low grade stetlp
Before specifying the mutterial, the designer
must consider that the higher strength steels will
cost move per pound, Freight avill be less but how
uch fess will depend on the phant location. By
utilizing the higher wllowable stresses. the shell wall

Equipment Setting
The plot plan designer will come in contact
with many different kinds of equipment, depend.
ing on the type of unit he must lay out. Each
subsequent chapter in this book will go into detil
about most of these ites but, in general, the de-
signer must Know how to locate equipment for
plot plan purposes and the following is offered asa
guide to this.

rough sketch of the shop spool, The sketch is
checked by a “take-off checker.” Then itis passed
to the detail draftsman who produces a finished
drawing, the shop spool, Take-off men sometimes
make a line isometric to pass on to draftsmen.
When isometries ate furnished to the shop. the
take-off man is usually by-passed and the line iso-
metric goes to the draftsman. He makes the deci-
sion of where to locste shop piece break points and
completes the detail drawing. The drawing is then
checked by a “break-down checker.” Some comr
panies have spools checked twice to ensure acura
vy.
Shop spools are drawn orthographically and as
isometrics. Some shops do single ine spools while
some do double line. Texas Pipe Bending Co. in
Houston has done all kinds and now does single
line spools in isometric except for single plane
spools, which are drawn orthographically
Figure 6-2. orthographic pipe sposl, is drawn
orthographically because the pipe is in one plane.
Figure 6-3, isometric pipe spool, shows how
shop spools are drawa to show more than one
plane.
Figure 6-4, isometric spool with miters, shows
detail miter dimensioning, Note that the pipe’s to-
tal length is shown in the material list

um, the four-weld miter is used. Two-weld 90°
* miters are_used for maximam economy, but they
cause the greatest pressure drop, The three-weld
jniter is a compromise. Table 6-8, miter welding
dimensions, gives Tull details on miters. For angles
of 45° or less the one-weld miter is common.
‘Small Fittings .
‘The pipe fabricator is concesned with dimen-
sions that affect the length of pipe he must supply.
Table 6-9, screwed and socketweld fittings, gives
dimensions of interest 10 pipe fabricators. Normal
thread engagement is also shown.
The Triangle
Piping designers run pipe vertically, horizsvtal
ly and at angles. The most common angles formed
30° and 45°. By construction, piping draftsinen
make 90° triangles and apply their math back
ground to solve triangles formed by these angles.
Pipe shops have developed triangle tables to aid in
quick solutions. Tables 6-10 and 6-11, 30° offsets,
supply solutions for 30° triangles. Tables 6-12 and.
6-13. 45° offsets. show 45° triangle solutions
‘The Cutback
A cutback is the dimension from the header
centerline to The nomk's nearest point Cutback
Gimensfons are needed t@ determine the exact
length of the nozzle pipe, Table 6-154. 90° cutback
for standard weight pipe and Table 6-15. 90°

rieation OF piping, the joming together of weldable
pipe and fittings, is done by field personnel at the
Job site and by “shop fabricators,” a shop located
dt a metropolitan area with access to qualified pe
sonnel and all materials on a lage scale, Shop fabsi-
cation is Usually less costly than field fabrication.

shops use. However, for customers who do not fur
