Certificate Course on PIPING ENGINEERING May 7 - 20, 2008 DESIGN OF JACKETED PIPING T. N.

Thickness of Jacket Pipe: Jacket pipes have to be designed for internal pressure, which the jacket fluid exerts. The formula given in clause 319.4.1 of the code shall be followed with the standard procedure, 24 — Types of Jacketing: Depending upon the criticality of the requirement, the jacketing of the piping system can be done: (Only on straight pipe keeping all bends and flange welds exposed. eee Fig. 22a Gi) On straight pipes and elbows but keeping the flange size same as that of the core pipe Fig. 226 (ii) On straight pipes and elbows with flange size that of the jacket pipe. (Reducing flanges) JacketedPiping doc Fig. 22€ This type is used where jacketing requirements are critical. The slip on type flanges are modified to get a seating of the jacket pipe to achieve a proper welding joint. (Refer Fig. 2.7) 2.5 Jumper Pipes: To maintain the continuation of fluid flow in the jacket, jumper pipes are provided. The location of jumper pipes on the horizontal jacketed pipe is decided based on the type of fluid in the jacket pipe. There can be a single jumper ‘or two jumpers and these can be placed in one of the following pattems:PIPING ENGINEERING CELL k= pa cra os 7 | ha Fig. 23 When the heating fluid is in vapor form and no condensation is expected, arrangement as per Patter I ean be used. The arrangement in Pattern I makes the vapor phase as well as the liquid phase continuous and is ideal when steam is, used as a heating medium in the jacket. When the jacketing fluid is a liquid under sufficient pressure, arrangement as per Pattern IT or Pattern TV can be used The arrangement for connection as per Pattem IV is difficult to fabricate, as the hole on the jacket pipe has to be cut to profile. Patten =V— shows — the arrangement in a vertical pipeline. In all types of arrangements it should be censured that the jumper joins the jacket pipe at minimum distance from the breakout flange in order to avoid cold spots due to stagnancy. The jumper should also be provided with dismantling arrangement, cither flange joints or unions, flange joint being preferred.

These are done by welding flat or bar to the core pipe called spacers. These spacers will be stitch welded to the core pipe. Flats. are preferred as the restrictions in the jacket flow are minimum in this case. The arrangement shall be as shown in the sketch below “psrace pricxer “cone DIE psTCTH WELD Fig. 24 NOTES: - i) Material of spacers shall as that of the core pipe. ii) Spacers near to pipe bend should be located at least 1000 mm away from the centerline of bend,
