Figure 1: High Pressure Backup Nitrogen portion of the system and all high
pressure components and pressure ratings.
2) Design codes and evaluation criteria
This nitrogen portion of the system meets the requirements of
section 5031.1 of the Fermilab ES&H Manual. Section 5031.1 states the
system piping shall be designed according to ASME B319. The lower
pressure dry air portions of the system are also designed to ASME 31.9,
but are not thoroughly documented since not required according to
FESHM 5031.1.
4) Materials
The tubing in the nitrogen portion of the system is standard
OD x 0.035 wall 304 stainless steel tube purchased from Swagelok.
The lowest allowable stress for this material from Table A-1 of ASME
B31.3 is 16,700 psi. The piping will be operated at ambient indoor
temperatures.

6) Relief Valves
As there are no additional sources of overpressure other than
what has already been addressed by the relief valves on the cylinders
themselves, no additional relief valves are used on the nitrogen portion
of the system. The cylinder relief valves included on each of the
cylinders set to 3360 psi, which is below the pressure rating of every
component selected for the nitrogen portion of the tubing. The lower
pressure air side of the system contains a relief valve (PSV-44) in case
of failure of the primary pressure regulator, (PR-42). An orifice (FO-41)
is used after the primary regulator to limit the flow to the 64 SCFM
relief capacity of PSV-44. Detailed calculations are in APPENIX A:
