2.3. Thickness of Jacket Pipe:
Jacket pipes have to be designed for
internal pressure, which the jacket fluid
exerts. The formula given in clause
319.4.1 of the code shall be followed
with the standard procedure,
24 — Types of Jacketing:
Depending upon the criticality of the
requirement, the jacketing of the piping
system can be done:
(Only on straight pipe keeping all
bends and flange welds exposed.

Fig. 22a
Gi) On straight pipes and elbows but
keeping the flange size same as that of
the core pipe
Fig. 226
(ii) On straight pipes and elbows
with flange size that of the jacket pipe.
(Reducing flanges)

This type is used where jacketing
requirements are critical. The slip on
type flanges are modified to get a seating
of the jacket pipe to achieve a proper
welding joint. (Refer Fig. 2.7)
2.5 Jumper Pipes:
To maintain the continuation of fluid
flow in the jacket, jumper pipes are
provided. The location of jumper pipes
on the horizontal jacketed pipe is
decided based on the type of fluid in the
jacket pipe. There can be a single jumper
‘or two jumpers and these can be placed
in one of the following pattems:PIPING ENGINEERING CELL

When the heating fluid is in vapor form
and no condensation is expected,
arrangement as per Patter I ean be used.
The arrangement in Pattern I makes the
vapor phase as well as the liquid phase
continuous and is ideal when steam is,
used as a heating medium in the jacket.
When the jacketing fluid is a liquid
under sufficient pressure, arrangement as
per Pattern IT or Pattern TV can be used
The arrangement for connection as per
Pattem IV is difficult to fabricate, as the
hole on the jacket pipe has to be cut to
profile. Patten =V— shows — the
arrangement in a vertical pipeline. In all
types of arrangements it should be
censured that the jumper joins the jacket
pipe at minimum distance from the
breakout flange in order to avoid cold
spots due to stagnancy. The jumper
should also be provided with
dismantling arrangement, cither flange
joints or unions, flange joint being
preferred.

2.6 Spacers:
In order to keep the core pipe
concentric with the jacket pipe, supports
are provided at definite intervals. These
are done by welding flat or bar to the
core pipe called spacers. These spacers
will be stitch welded to the core pipe.
Flats. are preferred as the restrictions in
the jacket flow are minimum in this case.
The arrangement shall be as shown in
the sketch below

NOTES: -
i) Material of spacers shall as that
of the core pipe.
ii) Spacers near to pipe bend should
be located at least 1000 mm
away from the centerline of
bend,
