  • in the design of RTRP pressure piping systems that are intended for long-term static loading.

    Appropriate Service Design Factor shall be applied for calculation / selection of the wall thickness (reinforced wall thickness) o f RTRP pipe andtor fitt ings.

    The Service Design Factor for RTRP piping under static loading shall be between 0.50 to 0.60 and shall be recommended / determined and approved by KOC. Also see Clause 3.1 .I 5 of this RP.

    Metallic valves and metallic flanges of appropriate type and size are permitted for use on RTRP piping. Such valves / flanges shall be directly supported to eliminate the stresses on RTRP piping. In case it is impractical, the RTRP pipe shall then be supported immediately adjacent t o the loads.

    The Manufacturer shall carryout the surge analysis of the piping systzm and shall submit calculations and result to KOC for review and approval. Manufacturer shall ensure that the designed RTRP piping syst3m is capable to withstand the anticipated maximum surge pressure, Also see Clause 8.6 of this RP.

    The Manufacturer shall carryout rigorous stress analysis of the RTRP piping system. Also see Clause I f .2.14 of this RP.

    Desiqn Considerations: Aboveground Piwhy

    The pipe support for the aboveground RTRP piping should be designed sucb that it shall be minimum 100 m m (4 in.) long or 1.5 times the diameter o f pipe being supported whichever is greater and embrace the pipe t o a minimum 120' circumferentially or as required by KOC.

    The aboveground RTRP piping should be designed such that the pipe experience minimum stresses due t o thermal expansion.

    Design Considerations: Underqround (Buried) Piping

    The underground RTRP piping shall be designed so as to have a minLnum soil cover of 1.0 meter (3 .28 f t ) as measured from the natural ground level or final graded ground level t o the top of RTRP pipe or as required by KOC.

    The underground (buried) RTRP piping system shall be designed t o withstand the maximum anticipated static loads due t o internal fluid pressure, soil load, weight o f pipe contents, adjacent heavy steel structure, heavy machine or heavy concrete building etc.

  • 1 REV. 7 DOC. NO. KOC-MP-0 7 7Pt. 2 The underground RTRP pipeline shall not have any flanged joint. In case it is inevitable, a suitable pit (similar to a valve pit) t o facilitate maintenance shall be provided as illustrated in KOC-L-002.

    Page 7t

    All ive, dead and impact loads shall be considered when designing sleeve / casing for the RTRP pipe crossing under the highway / road. For design, size and installation procedure of sleeve / casing pipe refer t o API RP 1 1 0 2 and ASTM F1668. Also see Clause 11.3 of this RP.

    A stainless steel strip (of suitable thickness and width) shall be wrapped spirally around the underground (buried) RTRP piping throughout in order t o facilitate detection of position or location when using metal detectors or as required by KOC. However care shall be taken that the metal strip does not interfere w i th the existing CP system (if any) in the proximity. The Manufacturer should also be consulted for appropriate advise.

    The design temperature of the RTRP piping system shall depend upon the type of RTRP pipe material (Epoxy, Polyester, or Vinyl ester)

  • specified/selected by KOC for the project, which in turn shall be governed by the KOC project requirements. (See CIrru?;e1.4)

    The design temperature of each component in the RTRP piping system shal be considered as the temperature at which under the coincident pressure, the maximum design thickness or the component highest ratirg is established.

    The design should take care of increase in the pressure due to the ther.mal expansion of the stagnant fluid within the piping system.

    The RTRP piping system shall be designed based upon the maximum anticipated operating temperature.

    b

    P~ge 77 of 6 7

    Piping shall be designed to withstand all effects, such as stress, strains and movements, that arise when thermal expansion and contraction of piping are restrained.

    REV. 7

    Dynamic Effects

    The RTRP piping system shall be designed t o take into account all impact forces due t o internal or external conditions such as sudden change in f low rate, hydraulic shock, and solid slugging.

    The effects of wind loading shall be taken into account for the RTRP piping system installed a t a height o f 9 m ( 3 0 ft .) or above from the ground level. (For Wind Data see clause 5.5 of KOC-G-007).

    The piping shall be designed and constructed so as t o eliminate the excessive and harmful effects of vibration induced due t o fluid f low and wind effects etc.

    The piping shall be designed, arranged and supported t o take care o f the reaction forces due to the discharge pressure o f the fluid.

    The piping shall be designed to cater for the dynamic loads such as due t o heavy rotating equipment or heavy machinery situated in the vicinity, by using metal sleeve / casing or by other means as approved by K-OC.

    The dynamic loads on RTRP piping may be eliminated or minimized by increasing the burial depth or by rerouting the piping or by providing a suitable metallic sleevelcasing or by other means as approved by KOC.

  • DOC. NO. KOC-MP-0 7 7Pt. 2 1 Page 18 of 6 7 REV. 7 Vacuum Effects

    The piping system shall not be subjected to vacuum or external pressure unless it has been designed to withstand it. The piping system shall be designed to incorporate air-intake valve to break the anticipated vacuum liable to arise due to sudden change/drop in the piping elevation in the full flowing gravity line or otherwise.

    The RTRP piping shall be used for the service of only those fluids to which it is generally resistant (compatible). The manufacturer should also be consulted for suitability of service.(see ~ ~ ~ e n d h - ~ )

    The service temperature and level of concentration of the chemicals shall be carefully evaluated for compatibility before introducing into the RTR3 piping system. The manufacturer should also be consulted for suitz bility of the service. (SeeAppendk-I)

    The RTRP piping system shall not be used to transport strong oxidizing agerts such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, liquid chlorine and low molecular weight hydrocarbons as well as aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and xylene unless proven to be suitable by the Manufacturer and approved by KOC. (Also see Appendix-1)

    The Manufacturer should be consulted to advise on the suitability of the RTRP pipe for the intended service.

    Appropriate pipe sizing calculations should be carried out, based upon the project and operating requirements, to achieve a safe and reliable system with optimum performance. The following systematic procedure is recommended to achieve optimum RTRP pipe size:

    a) Determine the pipe wall thickness to meet the project's pressure requirements.

    b) If required, enhance the pipe thickness based on system's operating conditions such as pressure surges.

    c) Evaluate the system's flow requirements to determine the appropriate pipe size.

  • -

    DOC. NO. KOCMP-0 1 I P t . 2 I Page 19 of 6 1 I REV. 7 d) Verify the pipe's capability to perform or operate under intended

    installation conditions.

    a) The Contractor shall adhere to the requirement of the KOC Fire & Safety Regulations chapter 1 8 "Excavations" besides meeting the requirements specified in this RP and the standards referenced herein while carrying-out trench excavation for underground piping,

    b) For additional details of trench etc. refer t o Figure-1 t o Figure-3 of Appendix-4 o f this RP.

    C) Proper attention shall be given when excavating the trench so that the sidewalls remain stable under all working conditions. If required and to avoid collapsing of the trench wall in the unstable soil, the trench walls shall be given a suitable slope to achieve the stability or as required by KOC.

  • The trench should not be left open for long time unnecessarily to avoid the risk of pedestrian safety and traffic disruption.

    When the trench traverses a muddy or marshy terrain the sidewalls in addition to providing appropriate slope should be adequately and firmly supported by sheeting or shielding.

    When supports such as trench sheeting, shoring or bracings are used, it should be ensured that the pipe support and the compacted soil around the pipe are maintained throughout the installation.

    It should be ensured that the sheeting is sufficiently tight to prevent washing the soil out of the trench wall from behind the sheeting.

    All sheeting used to preclude caving-in or sliding-in of the trench soil should be left in the place unless otherwise instructed by KOC or its authorized representative.

    All sheeting left in-place shalt be cut-off at a height 0.5 meter or more above the top of the pipe.

    The material of sheeting intended to remain in the trench should be such that it shall not corrode or degenerate.

    a) dewatered to attain and maintain the stability of native, in-situ or of imported backfill material;

    b) maintain the water level below the pipe bedding by using appropriate sump pumps, well points, deep wells, geo-textiles etc. to remove and control the water in the trench;

    C) curtail and control the water from flooding the trench before, during and after the pipe installation and until the embedment is complete!y installed and sufficient backfill has been placed in- place to prevent floatation of the RTRP pipe.

    If the ground water accumulates in the trench because of high water table or other reasons, the water level shall be kept below the pipe invert level for safe and proper installation, by using deep well pumps or by other suitable means.

    The pipeline at any point on its route shall not be given a sharp curvelbend that renders the pipeline to exceed the minimum recommended bend radius. The manufacturer should be consulted to provide the minimum recommended radius for RTRP piping.

    When the RTRP pipe is warmer than the trench soil, a slightly longer pipe length should be used to compensate for the contraction of the pipe when it cools to ground temperature.

    When ledge, rock, hardpan, cobbles, rubble, boulders, or stones larger than 38 mm (1.5 in.) are encountered in the trench bottom, excavate a minimum depth of 150 mm (6 in.) below the pipe bottom to get rid of Lnnecessary objects or as required by KOC. Also see Clause 11.2.10 (g) of this RP.

    Procedure for Hvdrostatic Testing!

    1 The hydrostatic testing of RTRP piping system shall be carried out in accordance w i t h IS0 14692-4, BS 71 59 and this RP.

    14.2.2 The Manufacturer / Contractor shall submit complete hydrostatic testing procedure i n advance t o KOC for review and approval.

  • The test liquid shall be water unless there is a possibility of adverse effects of water on subsequent service. In that case another suitable non-toxic liquid may be used.

    The pipe-section intended for testing shall be slowly filled-in with water. Make sure that all air from the pipe section has been purged out through the vents as the water is filled in.

    When filling the line with test water, two (2) soft foam pigs, one ahead of water and the other in the water shall be run in order to totally purge-out air from the test section.

    The water filling velocity shall not exceed the capacity of the air- release devices to help discharge the entrapped air completely from the piping system.

    The water filling velocity shall not exceed the design velocity of the piping system in order to prevent 1 minimize the generation of pressure surge(s).

    The test-section, when completely filled with the test-water, shall be allowed to remain filled for a minimum six (6) and maximum twenty four (24) hours (depending on the test-section size) so as to reach to a common and homogeneous temperature.

    After the system has attained uniform temperature, a strength-test shall be carried out at a pressure equal to '1.5 times the design pressure.

    The system shall be upheld at the above test pressure (1.5 times the design pressure) for a minimum period of thirty (30) minutes or as required by KOC.

    The rate of pressurization of the system shall not exceed 2 bar (29 psi) per minute.

    The piping system should be checked thoroughly for any visible leakage during the strength-test.

    Note: IJtest-pres.~tn.e cannot be omciitled, or Fit tokes on ~ilo-eo.wnab1 long time to reach the tist-pressure, tlrere m q be some fault(s) such as e,ucessive leokuge, entruppd uir, q e r r vnlve, or imdequacy of pressuring eqrriprnent. IJsuch fuult(i) exist, discontinue /he pressurizing and red r f i the faulf be fore continuing the fesf.

    If the strength test is successful, the system should then be approved for a full hydrostatic leak detection test.

  • I -- 1 DOC. NO. KOC-MP-OI 1PI.Z [ Page 42 af 6 7 REV. I 14.2.14 The full hydrostatic test shall be carried out at a pressure equal to 1.33

    times the design pressure.

    14.2.1 5 The hydrostatic pressure shall be maintained for a period of minimum eight (8) hours during which no water shall be added to or removed from the piping system or as required by KOC.

    14.2.16 During the test, the line pressure shall be recorded at every 30 minutes.

    14.2.1 7 When the system shows a pressure drop, a step-test should be performed as follows:

    a) The system shall be re-pressurized to 1.33 times design pressure and after each hour pressure should be recorded. This should continue for minimum 8 hours;

    b) The quantity of water required to bring the system back to test- pressure should be recorded; '

    C) If the quantity of water added each hour shows a decreasing trend, then the system should be considered as tight;

    d) If the quantity of water added remains same or more in the subsequent hours, the system is not tight and should be checked for leakage after depressurization.

    14.2.18 Pass (Acceptance) 1 Fail Criteria

    a) If no visible leakage is observed in the test-section, or if the water added each hour shows a decreasing trend until no more water is required to be added, the test indicates as "Passed.

    b} If the test-section fails then the fault should be located and subsequently the system should be depressurized for necessary repair or fixing.

    C) After the necessary repair or fixing is done, the system shall be tested once again.

    14.2.1 9 All temporary closures, gauges and supports etc used on the piping system for hydrostatic testing shall be removed when the test is over.

    SURGE PRESSURE: PREVENTION / CONTROL

    Since the RTRP pipe is lightweight and also has relatively low bending modulus and modulus of elasticity, therefore the piping system would experience excessive and perilous movement whenever the surge pressure developed ir the system is of high intensity.

    One of the best methods to avoid occurrence of such severe water hammers is to eliminate the cause of emanating of the water hammer i.e. quick closing of valves or sudden pump start-up. If this is not possible then the magnitude of the pressure peak should be curtailed by using accumulators and / or similar devices in the RTRP piping system.

    In the RTRP pipe system, as with other piping materials, the peak pressure (due to surge) should not exceed the pressure rating of the piping system. Even after -:aking the suggested precautionary measures if the piping still undergoes excessive movements due to pressure surges, the piping should be appropriately and securely anchored at suitable points.

    The calculatsd maximum surge pressure in the RTRP piping shall be added to the maximurn working or operating pressure to select appropriate pipe class.

  • STA T/C EL EC TR/C/TY CHARGE ON RTW P/PE

    CA UTIONA R Z.' NOTE:

    The static eiectricity charge is a Safety Hazard, particularly in hazardous areas where there is leaking gas or explosive atmosphere. RTRP pipe is a non- conductor of electricity and therefore the static electric charge developed on it remains in piace until some grounding device comes close enough to allow it to discharge. The ground wire installed on the pipe will only discharge static charge of thz small area. The most effective method to minimize the hazard of static electricity is to apply a film of water with 5% soap solution on the pipe surface to drain away the static charge. Also the pipe Manufacturer should be consulted fo i such requirement.
