CHECK VALVE (NON RETURN VALVE-NRV)

Check valve is used to stop back flow in a piping system. This is also called Non return Valve
(NRV)

Check valves are available in the following designs:

Swing Check Valves

Tilting Disk Check Valves
Wafer Check Valves
Disk Check
Piston Check
Ball Check
Duo-Check Valves

Non-Slam Check Valves

SWING CHECK VALVE:

Swing Check Valves are available in straight body design and y-pattern design. The disk is
suspended from the body by means of a hinge pin and seals against the seat which is integral
with the body. These valves are typically used in sizes 2 inches and over. Swing check valves
can be installed in both horizontal and vertical position. They are not suitable for pulsating
flow.

Closure response of swing check valve is slower compared to lift check valve due to longer
disc travel and inertia of disk.

TILTING DISK CHECK VALVE

Tilting Disk Check Valves fit between two flanges and provide a compact installation for
large diameter applications. These valves can be installed in horizontal and vertical lines.
They provide a quick closing response and are particularly suited for pulsating flows with
compressible fluids.
Face to Face: ANSI B 16.10

WAFER TYPE CHECK VALVE

Wafer Type Check Valve has short face-to-face dimensions and low weight allows a simple space saving
installation between the companion flanges. The valves are suitable to mounting between weld neck or slip
on type companion flanges of different standards.

They are specially developed for applications where a low-pressure loss is essential. Opening and closing
of the valve will take place at an extremely low-pressure difference over the valve disc. The eccentric disc
shaft combination with the disc seat guarantees a positive shut off returning media. Wafer check valves are
becoming the preferred type of check valve for most applications, due to their compact design and
relatively low cost.

Face to Face: ANSI B 16.10

DISC CHECK VALVE

The Single Disc Check Valve (Wafer Type Disc Check Valve) consists of four main components: the body, a
disc, a star guide and a spring. The Disc check valves are opened by the pressure of fluid and closed
through compression spring as soon as flow stops thus preventing reverse flow.
The design of Wafer Design, Sandwich Type Single Disc Spring Loaded Check Valves allows them to be
installed between any flanges of different standard and in any position; including vertical pipelines where
the fluid flows downwards.

PISTON CHECK VALVE

Piston Check valves are generally used to protect pumps or similar equipment, allowing the flow only in one
direction and preventing flow reversal due to back pressure. The piston check valves are designed with
globe valve bodies, producing an increased drop pressure in the pipeline. This design provides a tight seal
as well as a fast reaction to the closure impulse. Metal seated check valves may not provide drop tight
sealing when used in gas system or fluid system with low back flow pressure or fluids containing particles.
Face to Face: ANSI B 16.10

BALL CHECK VALVE

The ball check valve is one of the few check valves that works well in both water and wastewater
applications. Ball check valves are simple in operation and commonly used on small pumps and in low
head systems. Consider adding an optional roll-bar to the piping system for safety; ball check valves have
the highest tendency to slam due to the ball's high inertia long stroke. When ball check valves encounter
high pressures and dynamics, severe slamming may result.
Face to Face: ANSI B 16.10

DUAL PLATE WAFER CHECK VALVE

The Dual Plate, Wafer Check Valve employs two-spring-loaded plates hinged on a central hinge pin. When
the flow decreases, the plates close by the action of torsion spring before flow reversal takes place. All
features put together make the Dual Plate Check Valve as the most efficient & versatile design. It is also
referred to as SILENT CHECK VALVE. It is much easier to install between standard gaskets and line
flanges, and therefore is more cost effective to install and to maintain. Its design complies with API 594 and
API 6D, testing with API 598. It is also called as Butterfly Check Valve.

NON-SLAM CHECK VALVE

It is essential to see the closing characteristic of the valve with the dynamics of the pumping system.
The swing check valve closes abruptly because of gravity, and causes pressure surge resulting in
shock waves. These high pressure waves causes sever stress on the piping system. This problem
can be minimized by installing a Non-Slam type check valve. Non-Slam check valve do not rely on
gravity. As the upstream velocity of the fluid slows the spring assist on the valve start to close the
disc. By the time the upstream velocity comes to 0, the disc is completely closed. With the reverse
flow eliminated, the force necessary to produce water hammer on either side of the valve are
substantially reduced.

Type of Valves and its Features

There are three basic functions of valves are

1. To stop flow

2. To keep a constant direction of flow

3. To regulate the flow rate and pressure.

To select the correct valve to accomplish these functions properly, an outline of the different types of valves and their features is

given below.
 Butterfly Valve:
Valve shaped like a butterfly.

Tight shut-off and can be used as a control valve.

Little resistance to flow (allows smooth flow).

Optimal for automated operation with a low operating torque and 90 degrees operating angle.

Lightweight and compact (large diameter models are also available).

Check Valve:
For use when flow is only in one direction.

Lightweight disc allows vertical installation.

High operating speed prevents water hammer

TYPES OF CHECK VALVES AND DESCRIPTION

Gate Valve:
Like its name implies, the gate is lowered to cut off the path of flow.

For use as an on/off valve (not suitable as a control valve).

Little resistance to flow when fully open (allows smooth flow).

Long stroke requires time to open and close; not suitable for quick operation.

Globe Valve:
The globe-shaped body controls the fluid into a S-shaped flow.

Tight shut-off and can be used as a control valve.

Large resistance to flow (does not allow smooth flow).

 Much power is required to open and close the valve (not suitable for large sizes)

Ball Valve:
Valve stopper is ball shaped.

For use as an on/off valve (not suitable as a control valve).

Little resistance to flow when fully open (allows smooth flow).

Optimal for automated operation with a 90 degrees operating angle.

Advanced technology is required to manufacture ball.

Valve Trim is collective name for the internal elements of the valve. The Valve Trims are directly
exposed to the process fluid except the body, bonnet, flanges and gaskets. As per API code Trim
is defined as the seating surfaces of the body, disc, disc to shaft connection hardware (e.g., keys,
pins, screws, etc.) and any internal fasteners that are in contact with the process fluid.

The Plug, seats, stem guides, bushing and cage are some of the parts we can say Valve trims.

PIPING JOINTS

Joint design and selection can have a major impact on the initial installed cost, the
long-range operating and maintenance cost, and the performance of the piping
system. Factors that must be considered in the joint selection phase of the project
design include material cost, installation labor cost, degree of leakage integrity
required, periodic maintenance requirements, and specific performance requirements.
In addition, since codes do impose some limitations on joint applications,
joint selection must meet the applicable code requirements. In the paragraphs that
follow, the above-mentioned considerations will be briefly discussed for a number
of common pipe joint configurations.
Butt-welded Joints

Butt Welded Joint

Butt-welding is the most common method of joining piping used in large commercial,
institutional, and industrial piping systems. Material costs are low, but labor costs
are moderate to high due to the need for specialized welders and fitters. Long term
leakage integrity is extremely good, as is structural and mechanical strength.
The interior surface of a butt-welded piping system is smooth and continuous which
results in low pressure drop. The system can be assembled with internal weld
backing rings to reduce fit-up and welding costs, but backing rings create internal
crevices, which can trap corrosion products. In the case of nuclear piping systems,
these crevices can cause a concentration of radioactive solids at the joints, which
can lead to operating and maintenance problems. Backing rings can also lead to
stress concentration effects, which may promote fatigue cracks under vibratory or
other cyclic loading conditions. Butt-welded joints made up without backing rings
are more expensive to construct, but the absence of interior crevices will effectively
minimize crud buildup and will also enhance the piping systems resistance to
fatigue failures. Most butt-welded piping installations are limited to NPS 21 (DN
65) or larger. There is no practical upper size limit in butt-welded construction.
Butt-welding fittings and pipe system accessories are available down to NPS 1 (DN
15). However, economic penalties associated with pipe end preparation and fit-up,
and special weld procedure qualifications normally preclude the use of butt-welded
construction in sizes NPS 2 (DN 50) and under, except for those special cases where
interior surface smoothness and the elimination of internal crevices are of paramount
importance. Smooth external surfaces give butt-welded construction high aesthetic
appeal.

Socket-welded Joints
 Socket Welded Joint

Socket-welded construction is a good choice wherever the benefits of high leakage

integrity and great structural strength are important design considerations. Construction
costs are somewhat lower than with butt-welded joints due to the lack of
exacting fit-up requirements and elimination of special machining for butt weld end
preparation. The internal crevices left in socket-welded systems make them less
suitable for corrosive or radioactive applications where solids buildup at the joints
may cause operating or maintenance problems. Fatigue resistance is lower than
that in butt-welded construction due to the use of fillet welds and abrupt fitting
geometry, but it is still better than that of most mechanical joining methods. Aesthetic
appeal is good.

Brazed and Soldered Joints

Soldered Piping Joint

Brazing and soldering are most often used to join copper and copper-alloy piping
systems, although brazing of steel and aluminum pipe and tubing is possible. Brazing
and soldering both involve the addition of molten filler metal to a close-fitting
annular joint. The molten metal is drawn into the joint by capillary action and
solidifies to fuse the parts together. The parent metal does not melt in brazed or
soldered construction. The advantages of these joining methods are high leakage
integrity and installation productivity. Brazed and soldered joints can be made up
with a minimum of internal deposits. Pipe and tubing used for brazed and soldered
construction can be purchased with the interior surfaces cleaned and the ends
capped, making this joining method popular for medical gases and high-purity
pneumatic control installations.
Soldered joints are normally limited to near-ambient temperature systems and
domestic water supply. Brazed joints can be used at moderately elevated temperatures.
Most brazed and soldered installations are constructed using light-wall tubing;
consequently the mechanical strength of these systems is low.
Threaded or Screwed Joints

Threaded or screwed piping is commonly used in low-cost, noncritical applications

such as domestic water, fire protection, and industrial cooling water systems. Installation
productivity is moderately high, and specialized installation skill requirements
are not extensive. Leakage integrity is good for low-pressure, low-temperature
installations where vibration is not encountered. Rapid temperature changes may
lead to leaks due to differential thermal expansion between the pipe and fittings.
Vibration can result in fatigue failures of screwed pipe joints due to the high stress
intensification effects caused by the sharp notches at the base of the threads. Screwed
fittings are normally made of cast gray or malleable iron, cast brass or bronze, or
forged alloy and carbon steel. Screwed construction is commonly used with galvanized
pipe and fittings for domestic water and drainage applications. While certain
types of screwed fittings are available in up to NPS 12 (DN300), economic considerations
normally limit industrial applications to NPS 3 (DN 80). Screwed piping
systems are useful where disassembly and reassembly are necessary to accommodate
maintenance needs or process changes. Threaded or screwed joints must be used
within the limitations imposed by the rules and requirements of the applicable code.
Grooved Joints

The main advantages of the grooved joints are their ease of assembly, which results
in low labor cost, and generally good leakage integrity. They allow a moderate
amount of axial movement due to thermal expansion, and they can accommodate
some axial misalignment. The grooved construction prevents the joint from separating
under pressure. Among their disadvantages are the use of an elastomer seal,
which limits their high-temperature service, and their lack of resistance to torsional
loading. While typical applications involve machining the groove in standard wall
pipe, light wall pipe with rolled-in grooves may also be used. Grooved joints are
used extensively for fire protection, ambient temperature service water, and low pressure
drainage applications such as floor and equipment drain systems and roof
drainage conductors. They are a good choice where the piping system must be
disassembled and reassembled frequently for maintenance or process changes.
Flanged Joints

Flanged connections are used extensively in modern piping systems due to their
ease of assembly and disassembly; however, they are costly. Contributing to the
high cost are the material costs of the flanges themselves and the labor costs for
attaching the flanges to the pipe and then bolting the flanges to each other. Flanges
are normally attached to the pipe by threading or welding, although in some special
cases a flange-type joint known as a lap joint may be made by forging and machining
the pipe end. Flanged joints are prone to leakage in services that experience rapid
temperature fluctuations. These fluctuations cause high-temperature differentials
between the flange body and bolting, which eventually causes the bolt stress to
relax, allowing the joint to open up. Leakage is also a concern in high-temperature
installations where bolt stress relaxation due to creep is experienced. Periodic
retorquing of the bolted connections to reestablish the required seating pressure
on the gasket face can minimize these problems. Creep-damaged bolts in hightemperature
installations must be periodically replaced to reestablish the required
gasket seating pressure. Flanged joints are commonly used to join dissimilar materials,
e.g., steel pipe to cast-iron valves and in systems that require frequent maintenance
disassembly and reassembly. Flanged construction is also used extensively
in lined piping systems.
Compression Joints

Compression sleeve-type joints are used to join plain end pipe without special end
preparations. These joints require very little installation labor and as such result
in an economical overall installation. Advantages include the ability to absorb a
limited amount of thermal expansion and angular misalignment and the ability to
join dissimilar piping materials, even if their outside diameters are slightly different.

Disadvantages include the use of rubber or other elastomer seals, which limits their
high-temperature application, and the need for a separate external thrust-resisting
system at all turns and dead ends to keep the line from separating under pressure.
Compression joints are frequently used for temporary piping systems or systems
that must be dismantled frequently for maintenance. When equipped with the
proper gaskets and seals, they may be used for piping systems containing air, other
gases, water, and oil; in both aboveground and underground service. Small-diameter
compression fittings with all-metal sleeves may be used at elevated temperatures
and pressures, when permitted by the rules and requirements of the applicable
code. They are common in instrument and control tubing installations and other
applications where high seal integrity and easy assembly and disassembly are desirable
attributes.
Minimum Length of Straight Pipe for metering Run (Orifice)
In order to maintain the accuracy for every metering runs the upstream and downstream of the flow orifice
or flow meter should have straight pipe length. The following sketch illustrate the minimum straight length
requirements.

orifice flow meter straight run, upstream pipe run of flow meter, liquid flow measurement, meter runs

Pipe Flanges DOs and DONTs

DOs:
a) Always visually inspect the surface finish of the flange for injurious defects. It should be clean, degreased
and free of any defects, nicks or burrs. The permissible imperfections in flange surface finish specified in
ASME B16.5, Table 3 are not allowed for critical applications. Raised Face and Flat Face flanges should
also be checked for flatness with a straight edge.

b) All rust and burrs must be removed, small scratches should be removed by polishing, other defects may
mean component replacement.

c) Check the phonographic or concentric groove on the face of Raised Face and Flat Face flanges. Any
radial defects for example will be virtually impossible to seal against.

d) RTJ grooves must be kept scrupulously clean, corrosion free and undamaged.

DON'Ts:
a) When cleaning a flange face, never use a tool which may damage the surface finish. A soft wire brush is
recommended.
b) Do not use unnecessary force; say by tirforing or pulling, to bring flanges which are clearly misaligned
together. This may overstress adjacent pipework and will make sealing of the flanged joint difficult and
unreliable. Instead, report the situation.

c) Do not mate flanges manufactured to different unless specified in an approved design.

PLANT PIPE RACK GUIDELINES FOR PLOT PLAN

1. In general, pipe racks for process Units and pipe sleepers for the off-site facilities shall be considered as the principals support of

the pipe way. Run pipe lines overhead should be grouped in pipe racks in a systematic manner.

2. Pipe rack runs oriented in the same direction shall be at consistent elevations. Pipe rack runs oriented opposite to these runs

shall be at other elevations to accommodate crossing of lines at pipe racks junctions and to accommodate branch line

intersections.

3. Single level pipe racks are preferred, if more than one level is required, the distance between levels oriented in the same

direction shall be adequate for maintenance but not less than 1.25 meters.

4. Maximum pipe rack widths shall be 10 m. If widths larger than 10 m are required, the pipe rack shall be designed to be of two

stages. Actual widths shall be 110% of the required widths or the required widths plus 1m. In cases where air fin coolers are to be

placed on the pipe racks, the pipe rack widths shall be adjusted based on the length of the air coolers.

5. Avoid flat turns. When changing directions, change elevation.

6. Allow ample space for routing instrument lines and electrical conduit. Provide 25% additional space for future instrument lines

and electrical conduit adjacent to that required.

7. Provide 20% additional space on the pipe rack for future piping. This space shall be continued and clear on each level for the full

length of the rack. The width allocation may be split in two sections but not more than two.

8. Allow a continuous clear area of 4 meters high by 4 meters wide below main racks in process Units for maintenance access

ways.

9. Pipe racks outside process areas shall have the following minimum overhead refinery/plant clearances: main roadway: 5 meters,

access roads: 4.5 meters, railroads: 6.7 meters above top of rail.

10. Typical layout of pipe rack, for process plants depending on the number of process Units incorporated and the process

complexities are given in Figs. 1 through 4 with reference descriptions as follow:

a. "Single Rack Type" layout, in Fig.1 is suitable for small scale process complex consisting of two-three process Units. It is

economical without requiring any large area.

b. "Comb Type" layout shown in Fig. 2, is recommended for use in process, complex consisting of three or more process Units.

"Single Rack Type" in this case will not be suitable since separate maintenance and utility administration in normal operation will

be difficult because of the utility and flare line which are placed on the common rack.

c. "Double Comb Type" layout is an expansion of the "Comb Type" which is recommended for the use in large scale process

complexes where five to ten process Units are to be arranged. This layout as shown below in Fig. 3, can be conveniently utilized.

d. "U Type" layout shown in Fig. 4 is recommended to be used in case of process Units whose maintenance cannot be conducted

separately, within the complex. This type can be regarded as an expansion of the "Single Rack Type". Even process complexes of

this nature, can be regarded as one process Unit in the planning of their layout.

11. Location of pipe racks shall be in general agreement with the plot plan.

12. Overhead racks may contain more than one level. For steel pipe racks, the height of levels shall have one of the following

elevations:

a. Main pipe racks: 4.60, 6.20, 7.80 m

b. Individual or secondary pipe rack: 3.80, 5.40, 7.00 m. In special cases for large size pipes or concrete pipe racks, the distance

between the various floors may be increased.

13. Except for special cases, minimum width of pipe rack shall be 6 m. The width of pipe rack shall be designed to accommodate

all pipes involved plus 20% space for future expansion or modification. Where the pipe rack supports air coolers, the preferred

width shall be the width of air coolers.

14. In multi-level pipe racks, pipe carrying corrosive fluids shall be on the lower level, and utility lines should be at the upper floor.

Large size or heavy weight pipes shall be located at the lower level and on extreme sides.

What is Shut-off pressure in a Pump?

It is better to know Pump Performance Curve before understanding the shut-off pressure of the
pump.

Pump Performance Curve is a mapping or graphing of the Pumps ability to produce head and
flow.

Flow rate is on the X-axis (Gallons per min)

Head is on the Y-axis (Feet)

Mapping Flow rate to the head give the Performance curve.

Shut-off pressure is the maximum pressure or head the pump can produce. While pumps Shut-
off Pressure, no flow is produced.
Maximum Flow is the largest flow the pump can produce while while no head is produced.
So now back to the question.
What is actually meant by Shut-off Pressure in Pumps?
The Maximum pressure developed by a Pump when the delivery valve is FULLY CLOSED,
and NO-DISCHARGE of the fluid is produced.

How to measure the Shut-off pressure of a pump?

Using the suction and discharge pressure gauge we can measure the Shut-off pressure.
Start the pump and close the discharge isolation valve (Caution: Extreme Caution to be taken
while closing the isolation valve of a running pump) This will create Shut-off head condition
since the flow is restricted to 0 GPM. (The pump should not operate at shut-off head for a
more than a minute or it will damage the pump or piping)
Note down the suction and discharge pressure.

Shut-off Head = Dynamic Discharge pressure Dynamic Suction pressure
