Greetings to all.
I'm in a new project to install five natural gas compressor 120 mmscfd each.
In two of the possible installation sites, there are oil wells constructed in the 50s and nearly 30 years of being abandoned.
My question to you is: Is there a code or standard that indicates the...
Good Day to All.
According to ASME B31.3 parag 345.2.6, it's mandatory to retest piping that have additions after leak test. But there is an exception that allows the owner to avoid this requirement by taking extra precautions. In your experience, what should be those extra precautions? what...
hi everybody.
I am preparing a document of technical specifications for hydrostatic testing, and I doubt with tests in the lines made of tubing. Which standard applies for tubings? which test medium is used in the case of tubing for chemical injection or for CO2 supply.
If there is a related...
Because of a failure in the filling control system of the tank, the roof and the last shell course were plastically deformed, as you can see in the pictures of the attached file. Our Construction crew want to weld a thinner shell over deformed shell, but I am not agree with this solution. My...
Good morning,
want to ask the following: What considerations should be taken into account for welding pipelines API 5L X52 (OD Ø6,625", SCH STD e=0,280) with API 5L Grade B (OD Ø6,625", SCH STD e=0,280)?
if there is a post with the same question or similar, please send me the URL.
Regards.

inspecting a skid mounted pumps for condensed gas, we found that the reducer accesorie on suction, has a welded fitting (sockolet with valve for drain) attached to. The QA QC inspector says that is not correct, because it isn´t permited to weld on any suction or discharge reducer, but he is not...
At this moment we´re having some troubles with the procurement of pipes and pipe accesories, and we have in stock some that we want to use, but, with diferent especification. My question is:
Which considerations must be taken in the case of welding a 36"x30" swage ASTM A860 WPHY 70, (0.875" x...
We have a piping system designed under B31.3 (2", SCH 160, ASTM A106, Gr B, seamless, design pressure = 1370 psig, operating pressure = 1200 psig, hydrostatic test pressure 1.5 * design pressure = 2055 psig). The flanges selected for this system are 2" #600 ASTM A105, RF, SW, manufactured under...
We are planning to begin a group of hydrostatics test pressure on a natural gas compression plant. One part of the pipes were designed as per ASME B31.3, and another pipes, were designed as per ASME B31.8. The pipes were divided into "packages" depending on its operating pressure to make easier...
Dear friends...
we received a tubular heat exchanger to be instaled as a heater of fuel gas, designed in accordance with ASME VIII DIV / TEMA "R". The heater needs to be modified because one nozzel is interfering with a main process line. My questions are: Is it necessary to restamp the heater...
