1. Axial Vibration Prevention in Compressors Piping Layout
How should the piping to and from reciprocating compressors be handled to prevent axial vibration in Compressors Piping Layout?
Explanation: The piping to and from reciprocating compressors should be clamped to prevent axial vibration.
2. Access for Cleaning and Inspection
What should the piping design provide access for concerning the intake piping from the outlet flange of the first major vessel to the compressor flanges?
Explanation: The piping design should provide access for chemical or mechanical cleaning and inspection of the intake piping from the outlet flange of the first major vessel to the compressor flanges.
3. Maintenance Access for Reciprocating Compressors
How should piping close to reciprocating compressors be arranged to facilitate maintenance access?
Explanation: Piping close to reciprocating compressors shall be arranged to allow maintenance access to both sides of all cylinders.
4. Location of Suction and Discharge Headers
Why should suction and discharge headers and branches be located properly?
Explanation: Suction and discharge headers and branches shall be located to permit installation of restraints.
5. Dead Ends in Compressor Headers
According to the Piping Layout Basis, what should be avoided in compressor discharge or suction headers?
Explanation: Dead ends of compressor discharge or suction headers should be avoided.
6. Support of Compressor Piping
What should not be used to support suction, interstage, and discharge headers and all piping between headers for compressors?
Explanation: The suction, interstage, and discharge headers and all piping between headers should not be supported, guided, or attached to any portion of the building or shelter for the compressors.
7. Atmospheric Air Compressor Intakes
What protection should atmospheric air compressor intakes have according to the Piping Layout Basis?
Explanation: Atmospheric air compressor intakes should have weather protection hoods, and the inlet opening shall be protected with a wire screen of 1/2 inch (13 mm) mesh size made of 1/8 inch (3 mm) wire.
