1. Tank Dyke: Tank Piping Routing

How should the Tank Piping in the tank dyke area be routed, and what factors should be considered?

A) Maximum pipes for redundancy
B) Longest route for flexibility
C) Minimum pipes, shortest practicable way, and allowance for expansion
D) Random routing for aesthetic appeal

Show Answer

Explanation: The piping in the tank dyke area should be routed with a minimum number of pipes, following the shortest practicable way to the main pipe rack outside the tank dyke, with adequate allowance for expansion.

2. Manifold Location in Tank Dyke

Where should manifolds be located in the tank dyke area for easy accessibility?

A) Buried underground
B) Inside the tank dyke
C) Outside the tank dyke and by the side of the roads
D) Inside each tank for direct connection

Show Answer

Explanation: Manifolds should be located outside the tank dyke and by the side of the roads for easy accessibility via walkways.

3. Tank Settlement Analysis

Why is analysis necessary to prevent damage to lines and tank connections in the context of tank settlement?

A) To speed up the settlement process
B) To ignore settlement effects
C) To enhance settlement effects for stability
D) To prevent damage caused by tank settlement during stress analysis

Show Answer

Explanation: Analysis is necessary to prevent damage caused by tank settlement, and if exceptionally high settlement is expected, it should be considered during stress analysis.

4. Special Item Installation

What special consideration should be given regarding nozzle spacing during the installation of special items like hammer blind, MOV, etc.?

A) Ignore nozzle spacing for special items
B) Consider standard spacing only
C) Follow the same spacing as regular nozzles
D) Provide special consideration for spacing while installing special items

Show Answer

Explanation: Special consideration should be given to spacing while installing special items like hammer blind, MOV, etc., and it may deviate from standard spacing for regular nozzles.

5. Tank Dyke Piping Expansion Allowance

Why should there be an adequate allowance for expansion in the tank dyke piping?

A) To limit the flexibility of pipes
B) To promote thermal stress
C) To accommodate thermal expansion
D) To encourage pipe movement

Show Answer

Explanation: Adequate allowance for expansion in the tank dyke piping is essential to accommodate thermal expansion and prevent issues related to thermal stress.

6. Tank Dyke Piping Routing Limitation

Why is it important to limit the number of pipes and route them in the shortest practicable way in the tank dyke area?

A) Aesthetics only
B) To increase the complexity of piping
C) For easy maintenance and expansion allowance
D) To maximize the number of pipes

Show Answer

Explanation: Limiting the number of pipes and routing them in the shortest practicable way in the tank dyke area is crucial for easy maintenance and providing adequate allowance for expansion.

7. Tank Dyke Piping Settlement Effects

Why should exceptionally high settlement be considered during stress analysis of tank dyke piping?

A) To ignore settlement effects
B) To enhance flexibility
C) To prevent damage caused by settlement
D) No specific consideration for settlement effects

Show Answer

Explanation: Exceptionally high settlement should be considered during stress analysis to prevent damage caused by settlement effects on tank dyke piping.
