Piping
• Introduction
 Assembly of pipe and fittings such as Tees, Elbows, Flanges, Reducer,
Bolting Gaskets, Valves & Others components.

 Fertilizers, Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, Refineries, Thermal


Power Stations. These are the major areas we have to do lot of piping works.

 Today, most of the piping systems are fully welded.

 They are frequently operating under high pressure, high temperature and in
corrosive atmosphere.

 Serious Consideration as has to be given in the selection of grades and


sizes of materials, design, fabrication, erection, testing and
inspection.

CODES
As per The American National Standards Institute ( ANSI )

• Pressure Piping ( ANSI B31 ).


• Power Plants ( ANSI B31.1 ).
• Chemical Plant and Petroleum refinery piping ( ANSI B31.3 ).
• Liquid transportation system for hydrocarbons, liquid petroleum Gas (
ANSI B31.4 ).
• Gas Transmission and distribution piping ( ANSI B31.8 ).

Friday, April 26, 2019


To ensure satisfactory welding of piping installation, we have to
establish and qualify the procedure, such as base metal specifications,
filler metals, edge preparation joint fit-up, pipe position, welding
process, process parameters welding techniques, preheat, inter-pass
post heat treatment, final inspection and testing. It also necessary to
qualify the welders for the welding process adopted.
Welding procedures and welders are normally qualified as per
section IX of the ASME Boiler & pressure vessel code.

Piping Materials
• The Materials used for piping are carbon steels, wrought iron, carbon moly,
Chrome moly, Cry Organic Steels, Stainless Steels, Aluminum & Its
Alloys, Copper and its alloy, titanium and its alloy.

• Many materials looks similar, leading to the possibility of mix-ups. To


prevent this, They are to be identified at multiple locations.

• Re-marking of the remaining materials. The identification should be done


either by colour bands and or by transferring the quality of the material and
heat mark by HARD PUNCHING.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Material Preparation
• The Materials preparation includes sizing and shaping by thermal cutting,
machining or grinding.

• Thermal cutting like Oxy-acetylene cutting or plasma cutting can lead to


hardening of cut edges of some materials. In such cases if required pre-heating
should be done during cutting.

• The cut edges should be free of cracks, notches, to remove adherent slag etc.

• The edges may be checked by Dye-Penetrant test to ensure soundness of the


materials.

Friday, April 26, 2019


NDT
• Material Identification.
• Fit-Up Inspection.
• Visual Inspection
(Before & After Completion of Welding).
• Dye-Penetrant Examination.
• Radiography.
• Ultrasonic Testing.
• Magnetic Particle Examination

Friday, April 26, 2019


Pressure Test
• Prior to critical operation, each piping system
shall be pressure tested to ensure leak
tightness.
• The Pressure test should be maintained for a
sufficient time, not less than ten minutes, to
determine if there are any leaks.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Test Preparation
• All joints, including welds are to be left uninsulated and exposed for examination
during test.

• Piping designed for vapor or gas shall be provided with additional temporary
supports, if necessary to support the weight of the liquid.

• If a pressure test is to be maintained for a period of time and the test liquid in the
system is subjected to thermal expansion, precautions should be taken to avoid
excessive pressure.

• Pressure shall be increased gradually in steps providing sufficient time to allow the
piping to equalize strains during test and then check the leaks.

Piping Fabrication & Erection

• Fertilizers, Chemical and Petro-Chemical Plants


Refineries, Thermal Power Stations - These are the
major areas where we have to do lot of piping works.

• Piping, in these Projects can be broadly divided as in


plant piping and offsite piping.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Plant Piping
• Plant piping or unit piping are the piping within the plant battery
limits.

• Interconnection of pipe lines between various static and rotary


equipment's.

• Number of joints per pipe length are more in unit piping.

• These can be done with help of ISO metric drawing ( ISO drawing
).

Friday, April 26, 2019


Offsite Piping
• Offsite piping are generally on racks or sleepers outside the battery limit of the
plant.

• These pipe lines are generally carrying feed stock to the plant, final product
from the plant to the storage area and utility lines such as Steam, Water, Air,
Nitrogen etc.

• Number of joints are less when compare to unit piping since straight length and
less tapping.

• These can be done with help of general arrangement drawing ( GA drawing ) or


plan drawing.

Planing
Piping Job Executing
 Find out the type of piping work to undertake - off site or unit piping. If both are
involved clearly identify these two and separate them out.
 Broadly divide them based on the materials ( i.e. Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel & Stainless
Steel ).
We may then further break it up based on the dia sizes and group them as
Up to and including - 1 1/2”.
2” - 6”
8” - 12”
14” and Above.
For the sizes up to 1 1/2” we consider them as small bore piping. In general this
piping has to be carried out as per site condition based on plan drawings and P & ID
diagrams.
Site sketches can be made prior to starting.
If the client insists we can get the ISO metric prepared at site and get approved.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Piping Job Executing
• 2” and above are known as big bore piping.

In plant piping about 60% of the joints can be welded at shop balance 40% to be
assembled and welded at site during erection, while doing this we may keep some
allowances in lengths for adjustment. Field joints are to be determined prior to shop
fabrication.
Now follow the norms(Refer Sheet No 25 to 30) and find out the number of joints in
each categories and the Labour required for the job.
We now have got a fairly good idea about the work volume and Labour strength
required for the job. These data's are good enough to find out the consumables
required, P&M to be deployed and the staff requirement.
Now based on the front availability, which can be obtained from the material delivery
schedule, we can make out an overall construction plan in consultation with client’s
engineer.

Major activities involved in Piping

• Pre-Fabrication
• Erection
• Alignment & Supporting
• Mechanical Clearance
• NDT Clearance
• Hydraulic Test / Pressure Testing
• Drying and Box-Up
Friday, April 26, 2019
Pre-Fabrication
• This can be generally at a pre-fabrication shop.
• We may have to fabricate some pipe specials also at Fab-Shop. These are
Miter Bends, Reducer, Tee branches etc.
• We have to keep erection allowances for field joints.
• As per as possible, flanges which are to be hooked up to equipment's, are not
to be welded. They can be kept on tacked condition.
• After the fabrication, keep the fabricated spools properly numbered and store
in place where it can be easily located for erection. These spools properly
stacked area wise or plant wise.
• Always keep the ends covered to avoid dirt and other particles to go inside.
• Field joints are to be selected in such a way to have easy accessibility for
welding.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Erection
• Rack Lines to be erected in advance.
• We must follow certain sequence of erection to avoid fouling.
• Start always with bigger pipes as per as possible.
• Avoid giving the load on equipment's while erecting the
pipelines. Give at least temporary support if not permanent one
so that the load is transferred.
• Start Small bore piping only when substantial amount of
pipelines and equipment's are in position.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Alignment & Supporting
• We have to always follow the specification for selection of
supports. Take at most care to follow what is specified in the
drawings and maintain elevation, slopes etc. as per drawings.
• It is very important that some time we may even have to do re-
work if the slopes are not coming alright.
• When we used spring support follow the instructions of the
manufactures carefully.
• For small bore piping in case required we may have to provide
additional support so that to keep the line straight.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Mechanical & NDT Clearance
• Final check to ensure whether that piping is laid as per the drawings,
specification and P&I diagrams. This is to be obtained and from the
inspection agency at site/clients.
• NDT clearance is to be obtained from the welding/quality control
department. This ensure completion of radiography, ultrasonic inspection on
all the required. Non-destructive test as per the code. This department ensure
the quality of the job. Weld joints details and SR details are also verified by
them prior to release of the job for hydraulic tests.

Hydro / Pressure Test


The test pressure generally is 1.5-2.0 times depends on the service
requirement as specified we have to follow the specification for test pressure.
Refer Page No. : 8

Friday, April 26, 2019


Box - Up
• After completion of hydraulic testing the lines for to be blown
with dry air and box it up to the right position.
• We might have put blind spades etc, in line or dropped control
valves during testing operation. This has to be re-installed to
the original position.
• We may have to replace if any temporary stud bolt, gaskets
were used.
• Box up is final operation and lines are to be handed over to
operation people subsequently.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Cost Control
• Efficient and systematic monitoring and control of costs is necessary for effective
management of any project.
• Stages of controls are :
1. Fixing of norms.
2. Estimating of the job.
3. Monitoring.
4. Feed back.

• Cost is classified as direct cost and indirect cost, direct cost comprises of direct
Labour, consumables, supervision and P&M and is related to quantum of work
included.
• Indirect cost is related to volume of work and time span.
• In normal case, direct cost is directly proportional to the work quantum. Due to site
conditions the Labour, supervision cost shall increase, but consumable cost cab be
controlled by monitoring.
Friday, April 26, 2019
Cost Control - Tips
• Prior to start the actual execution of the job, the total cost must be calculated.
• Labour details are to be worked out.
• Right type of the plant and machinery's required for piping quantity and the
period at which these are to be deployed are to be decided.
• Consumable required for the job are to be established. The monthly requirement
of consumable can be detailed out.
• Proper persons to be earmarked for key posts like planning, materials, billing,
quality control & site supervision. The roll of each staff is to be clearly
identified.
• The quantity to be pre-fabricated is to be established. Welding expenses at shop
will be always less, so we should try to do maximum shop fabrication.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Cost Control -Tips
• The planning dept. has play key-roll. The labour strength, machineries & tool
required and the inventory at stores for consumables and spares are to be closely
monitored based on the planning schedule.
• The material stores are to be well organised so that locating a materials will be
easier and there will not be any time loss. Also material control system has to be
fool-proof to avoid last minute running around.
• If we establish the required quality standard at the beginning of the job itself, the
work will go smoothly without any problems in repairs or rectification at latter
stage. Each individual at site will be aware of what is the required quality
standard and they will be streamlined automatically, If we are strict at the initial
days.
• Always productivity norms and consumables norms are to be monitored so that
we can easily correct if the job turns in the wrong direction.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Cost Control - Tips
• It is always important to use the right type of machines for the right job.
For small job, using high capacity machines should be avoided.
• The site supervisor must be always alert to control any wastage of materials
or misuse of tools and machinery's.
• As for as possible, the work distribution to piping supervisors should be
made area wise. The job should clearly defined and supervisors should be
aware of their responsibility.
• To help effective cost control all field supervisors should involve
themselves in monitoring the consumable consumption. It is necessary to
have periodically review of the cost at regular intervals where all site staff
can participate.

Boiler
• “ Boiler ” means any closed vessel exceeding 22.75 Ltrs ( 5 Gallons ) in
capacity which is used expressly for generating steam under pressure and
includes any mounting of other fittings attach to such vessel which is wholly
or partly under pressure when steam is shut off. ( 1 Gallon = 4.55 Ltrs ).

• “ Steam Pipe ” means any pipe through which steam passes from a boiler to a
prime-mover or other user of both if

1. The pressure at which steam passes through such pipe exceeds


3.5 Kg/Cm2. Above atmospheric pressure or
2. Such pipe exceeds 254 mm in internal diameter, and includes in
either case any connected fittings of steam pipe.

Materials
Stainless Steel :
Fe + Cr, Iron + Chromium 11.5 % or more Simply, it is an alloy
composed iron ( Fe ) and Chromium ( Cr ). Iron is the main
element off all stainless steels. To make iron “Stainless”,
however, chromium must add at least 11.5% of alloy.
What is effect of Chromium ?
When 11.5% or more chromium is added to iron, a thin, silvery,
tightly adherent film of chromium-oxide forms spontaneously
on the surfaces exposed to air. In short, the steel cannot easily be
stained, hence the name STAINLESS STEEL.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Materials
Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steels :
1. Increases Corrosion Resistance.
2. Reduces Heat Conductivity.
3. Increases Impact Values.
4. Increases Ductility.
5. Increases Fatigue Resistance.
6. Increases Electrical Resistance.
7. Improves Weldability.
Friday, April 26, 2019
Materials
Effect of Molybdenum :
1. Increases creep resistance at elevated temperatures.
2. Increases resistance to pitting in corrosion applications. Pitting
can occur in type 304 when certain corrosive liquids ( sea
water for example ) slosh about alternately wetting and exposing
the surface to air.

Classification of stainless electrodes :


The American Welding Society and the American Society for
Testing Materials have established series designation which is used as
a standard method of identifying stainless electrodes. The first three
digits indicate the composition of the electrode and the last two,
separated by a dash, indicate the type of coating.
Friday, April 26, 2019
Materials
Coating Designations :
The final two numbers indicating type of coating automatically
determine the type of welding current to use. The suffice “16 ” designates
the electrodes as titania-coated and these rods can deposited AC or DC
reverse polarity. Lime-type coatings are indicated by the suffice “ 15 ”
and these rods must be welded DC, reverse polarity.

Function of the Coating :


1. Its shields the arc. As the coating melts it also forms a gas
( Co2 ) which surrounds and insulates the molten puddle from the air
which prevents the formation of oxides and the detrimental pick-
up of hydrogen and nitrogen.

Friday, April 26, 2019


Materials
Function of the Coating :

2. It forms a slag to protect the weld surface from oxide


formations during cooling.
3. It improves arc smoothness and promotes stability.
Properly- designed coatings melt just a shade slower than
the electrode itself, forming a small crucible to facilitate arc
control and direction.
4. It controls the form of the ripples, the shape of the bead
and the length of the arc.
5. It indicates to some extent the current range of the
electrode as well as the deposition rate.
