Notes:
General:
- In addition to the above criteria, risk of excessive noise and erosion shall be considered
when setting the maximum velocity
1. The above indicated line sizing criteria are va lid for continuous operation. For this case, the pressure drop in bar/km shall
be less than 5% of the static absolute pressure for long headers and 10 % for short headers. For intermittent operation,
these limits may be increased on a case-by-case analysis. Where sufficient pressure drop is available, the pressure drop limit
of 10% for short headers may be increased to 30% and the RhoV limit of 15 000 Pa may be increased to 25 000 Pa.
2. Same criteria as for Gases, General and allowable pressure drop between 0.2 and 0.7 bar/km.
3. Same criteria as for Gases, General and allowable pressure drop between 0.5 and 1.2bar/km. The exceptional temperatures
generated by a fire shall not be considered for mechanical design temperature selection.
For two-phase flow lines, the follo wing criteria shall be applied:
- Vm shall be less than 25 m/s (m for mean velocity) or ErosionalVelocity (Ve), whichever smaller
- (RhoV)m: 5 000 to 15 000 Pa (m for mean velocity and mean density) For all two phase lines, the flow regime shall be checked for
both horizontal and vertical flow. Slug and plug flow should be avoided.
2 phase gas liquid density may be calculated using following formula:
Where:
: density at flowing conditions, kg/m
G: mass flowrate, kg/hr
mixed phase
Subscript L: liquid phase
Subscript G: gas phase
Erosional velocity shall be defined based on API RP 14E 5th Edition (reaffirmed March 2007):
Where:
m: mixed phase density at flowing conditions, kg/m
C: empirical constant. C value will be 122 for continuous services and 152 for intermittent services.
As these constants are felt to give a conservative value they will be modified using the following
