(h) Other (Nonmaridalory) Considerations for Pressure/ Flow Control Facilities (1) Filtration of gas, particularly for instrumenta- tion, instrument regulators, etc, should be considered ‘where particulate contaminants are a present or poten- tial problem. (2) Installation of conical reducers immediately downstream of a regulator or control valve will allow a more gradual expansion of gas to larger piping and 4 reduce turbulence and pressure drop during gas expansion. (i) Electrical Facilities and Electronic Equipment for Pressure/Flow Contr! anc Metering Facilities (1) All electrical equipment and wiring installed in pressure/flow control facilities and metering facilities shall conform to the requirements of NEPA 70 and other applicable electrical codes. Additional API and AGA. references are listed in Nonmandalory Appendix C. (2) Electronic control, monitoring, and gas mea- surement equipment shall be properly grounded and isolated from piping to help prevent overpressure/ accidental shutoff situations caused by equipment fail- ture due to lightning strikes and electrical transients and to prevent safety hazards caused by fault currents. Elec- trical isolation equipment for corrosion control purposes, should not be installed in buildings unless specifically designed to be used in combustible atmospheres. (3) Uninterruptible power sources or redundant back-up systems should be considered to help prevent ‘overpressure/unintentional shutoff situations caused by power outages (2) A useful reference for electronic gas measure- ments is API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 21 — Flow Measurement Using Electronic Metering Systems, Section 1— Electronic Gas, Measurement. (p) Pipeline Installation by Directional Drilling (1) Qualifications. Drilling, contractors shall main- tain written design and installation procedures add crossings to be completed by the directional drilling method. Drilling equipment operators and per- sonnel responsible for establishing the location of the pilot head and reamer during drilling operations shall be qualified by training and experience in the implemen- {ation of the contractor's procedures. (2) Geotechnical Eoaluations. Geotechnical evalua- tions should be considered at the crossing location to ‘establish subsurface conditions. (3) Installation Forces and Stresses. Loads on, and stresses in, the pipe string during installation shall be ‘evaluated to ensure protection of the pipe against yield~ jing, buckling, collapse, and undesired movement of the pipe string due to the combined effects of external pres- sure, friction, axial forces, and bending. (See directional drilling references in Nonmandatory Appendix C.) (B) Protective Coating. The frictional and abrasive forces that may be exerted on the pipe coating during installation shallbe considered when specifying the type of coating system to be applied to the pipe and weld joints. During installation, care shall be taken to protect the quality and integrity of the external corrosion, coating. (5) Additional Evaluation Mensures. In addition to the minimum inspection and post-inspection testing requirements of this Code, consideration shall be given, ‘Copyright © 2013 by the American Society af Mechanical Engineers ‘No reproduction may be made of this material without written consent of ASME.
