Hello all..
This question is regarding steam tracing and jacketed Lines. We are using steam at 4.2 bar(g)and somewhat superheated with temp 163 C. for steam tracing and for jacketed lines.. now the jacketed lines are of NPD 2" with 1" jumpers. I am concern about the area of the core pipe where steam from jumper will enter. As the line size is changing from 2" to 1" there may be some change in velocity and may be some reinforcing pad be required for withstanding the erosion which otherwise would have happen. how the designing be approached for handling this type of situation.I have seen people do use reinforcing pad for core pipes .any guidelines regarding this would be appreciated. Also I would be thankful if anybody have the saved articles posted at pipingdesign regarding Process Tracing Lines, as the related topics are removed from the external sites.

bye.
