Dear Group,

Is there not a better way of receiving these digest mails. It is a jumble of questions repeated upteen number of times with everybody's answers. Can somebody devise a report format that will condense it into neat text excluding all those unwanted email trails.

Samuel

Thank you for your reply. The concern with the CO2 line is erosion rather than pressure losses.

I am somewhat confused by your formula, the units appear to be SQRT(m^3/kg) which I can't reconcile with a velocity (m/sec). Is there any more to this equation? If you have a reference for it, would you be kind enough to post details?

Thanks again for your help, and sorry to appear to be nit picking, but my client will want to see some sort of basis.

Barbara

If you get no other response, I suggest turning to Crane (Technical paper 410, Flow of Fluids). Pages 3-16 and 3-17 have a nomograph for velocities of compressible fluids in pipe.

Good morning all

Many thanks to those who gave me advice on finding the dimensions of reducers, I had to resort to measuring them in the end. The B and C indices in ASME NB are quite sensitive to the cone angle so it was a worthwhile exercise

Now, that I have finished the mechanical design, the client has decided to revisit the process design! There is some debate on what the maximum flow velocity should be, does anybody here know anywhere that I can find recommended maximum flow velocities? The fluid is CO2 at 250°C and 29barg.

Thanks

Thanks for the reference, the field I am working in is the nuclear industry. I can't find anything in ASME III NB regarding flow velocities. I'm not sure if it will be anywhere in ASME III and I don't recollect seeing it in B31.1 or B31.3, but I am ready to be corrected.

Thanks for finding the pages in Crane, I have checked our calculated velocities against the table of reasonable velocities for flow of steam on page 3-16, under most operating conditions the velocities fall into the recommended range. I hope that will be sufficient to satisfy the client...

If I can remember or interpret correctly... here you go

for expansion

Sa = f(1.25Sc + 0.25 Sh)......................1

which is the original of Sa=f((1.25(Sc +Sh) - Sl) ................2

i.e. add Sh - Sl to 0.25 Sh

So here it is:

The higest value for Sa is when Sh is it's greatest allowable, i.e. = Sc

Therefore

Sa = f(1.25Sc + 0.25 Sc) = f(1.5Sc)

max f = 1.0

Max Sa = 1.5Sc whcih is equal to the Specified minimum Yield strength

i.e. Sc is taken as 2/3 of Specified minimum Yield strength or a fraction of the Specified minimum Tensile strength

So basically the formula is designed to never produce a figure above the Specified minimum Yield strength of the material and takes into consideration the effects on the allowables due to temperature.

Now, this is just my interpretation

Piping code B31.3 gives value of expansion stress range as follows

                       Sa=f((1.25(Sc +Sh) - Sl)
where Sc ,Sh, Sl,f have their usal meaning as defined in code.   My query is
How the code has decided upon this value of 1.25 ? What is the physical significance of this value?
Views are invited from team members on the subject matter. Regards
