Mr. Sameer Bahri / 3. Mr. S. K. Chatterjee 1 GENERAL TECHANICAL SPECIFICATION FOR LPG GAS PIPE LIN} DESCRIPTION OF PARTS USED AND GENERAL LAYOUT (AS THE GAS FLOWS) OF PIPELINE SYSTEM FROM GAS SOURCE TO INDIVIDUAL KITCHENS 1 1.2 13 Cylinder Bank (manifold, click-on adaptor, cylinder pigtail, non-return valve): A cylinder bank consists of two sets of manifold. On each manifold the required numbers of cylinders which can meet the total gas demand of the Colony are connected, As stated earlier a bank consists of 2 batteries or sets of cylinders ( or 2 manifolds), one in active mode and the other reserve. A manifold is basically a seamless pipe of 1” diameter. Its length is determined by the number of cylinders which are connected to it (about 10”/per cylinder). Threaded nipples are welded on the manifold. Each point of connection of the cylinder to the manifold has got a click-on adaptor, a cylinder pigtail and a non-return valve. ‘An adaptor is like a pressure regulator which is fitted directly onto the cylinder. However, unlike the regulator, the adapter does not reduce the pressure. When adaptor is tumed on, gas starts flowing out of the cylinder at unreduced pressure thus coming out of the cylinder at full cylinder pressure. A cylinder pigtail is a flexible wire-braided rubber tube which has a brass nut on both ends. Its one end is screwed on the adaptor and the other end on the non-return valve. When a pigtail is damaged it can be easily replaced by unscrewing the old one & serewing in the new one. A non-return valve, whose one end is screwed on the cylinder pigtail and whose second end is screwed on the threaded manifold nipple, shuts off the gas supply coming out of an individual cylinder to the manifold in case the cylinder pigtail of that cylinder bursts. The non-return valve also shuts off supply if there is a fault in the adaptor or the connect loose. Thus, there is no interruption in the gas supply system & all other cylinders continue to supply the gas except the cylinder which has a defective adaptor or pigtail. In the meantime, the defective pigtail/adaptor is replaced. When we open the adaptor on cach cylinder, gas starts flowing from each cylinder to the common manifold & thus manifold gets a huge supply of gas which is sufficient to meet the demand of entire Colony. Pressure gauge, manifold isolation valve: A pressure gauge is installed in each manifold which measures the pressure in the manifold before the first stage regulator. This pressure is same as the full cylinder pressure. After the pressure gauge an isolation valve is installed on each manifold. If you shut off this-valve, the entire suy as from that manifold is stopped. fe LE NIP Automatic changeover valve cum regulator: Y/ 14 15 1.6 The system has got an Auto Changeover Device (Valve & Regulator) which is interconnected to both the cylinder manifolds (one Main & one Reserve). This is also called first stage regulator and it reduces the pressure from 50-70 psig to 10 psig. The same automatically changes over from the empty Bank to the full bank once the LPG gets exhausted in the active bank. Thus flat owners get uninterrupted LPG supply 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Over pressure shut off valve: To take care of excess pressure build-up in the pipeline after the first stage regulator, an Over Pressure Shut Off (OPSO) system coupled with the Regulator, is provided. The same closes the flow of LPG into all the households, once the pressure exceeds the settings of OPSO device. This is also called Slam Shut Off Valve. A similar system is provided on the second stage regulator which is fitted in the kitchen of each flat. Fire extinguishers: Fire extinguishers and sand buckets are kept near the cylinder bank system to ‘meet any fire hazards near the manifold as per the statutory requirements. Main pipeline isolation valve and pressure gauge: This valve is installed at the start of the main pipeline after the overpressure shut off valve (OPSO). If you shut off this valve then the gas supply to the entire colony is stopped, Before this valve, a pressure gauge is installed which indicates the pressure of gas in the main pipeline immediately after the first stage regulator. Pipeline and its branches: This is a long steel pipeline which runs throughout the colony right from the Jinder bank to each individual flat of the colony. It has many branches whose diameters and lengths depend on the number & location of flats. Although it is preferable to lay open pipeline, one has often to lay concealed or underground pipeline due to architectural or structural design considerations. When a pipeline is laid deep in the earth (3 feet deep) across a road, it is covered with a concrete hume pipe of larger diameter so that no big load of traveling vehicles comes on it directly. The pipes used in the system are ERW welded pipes conforming to heavy duty class of IS: 1239. In the case of multistoried apartments, it is a common practice to lay a vertical branch pipeline to feed the flats whose kitchens lie vertically one above the other. Such a pipeline is called Riser Pipeline. An isok pipeline. If you shut off this valve, the gas supply to that set of vertical flats stopped. Similar arrangement is done ore branch pipeline which feeds a few flats together & these flats may not lie vertically one above the other. This is done to take care of any emergency arising out of any leakage it ection of pipeline which is feeding a cluster of flats. From the risef horizontal branch pipeline, a tapping is taken which goes to each individual kitchen 1.8 Set up inside the kitehen: Near the entrance of each kitchen (and sometimes outside the flat) an isolation valve is fitted. If you turn off this valve, gas supply to that flat is stopped. After the isolation valve (item 13) a second stage regulator with under-pressure shut off valve (UPSO) is fitted into each kitchen which reduces the pipeline pressure from about 10 psig to about 0.5 psig. This is the normal pressure at which cooking is done in households. The UPSO closes the flow of LPG into the kitchen, once the pressure falls below the settings of UPSO device due to any reason such as failure of the regulator or low pipeline pressure ete. Hence UPSO will close the flow of gas if there is a drop of pressure (below the settings) either at the inlet or at the outlet of 2" stage pressure regulator. After the second stage regulator a gas meter is installed inside each kitchen which measures the quantity of gas consumed by each flat. Each flat owner gets a monthly bill as per the gas meter reading just like electricity meter. After the gas meter and before the gas appliance a quarter turn ball valve is fitted which the housewife uses to close or open the gas supply to that appliance. The quarter turn valve is connected to the rubber tubing whose second end is connected to hotplate or any other cooking appliance. You can use many gas appliances such as hotplate, gas ‘oven, gas lantern etc. Each appliance will have a quarter tum valve which can be individually switched on or off. These quarter tum valves are in addition to the switch on/off knobs which are a part of the individual appliances. One can also install an LPG water heater in the bathroom or an LPG air heater in the drawing room by extending the pipeline, This can be done at the time of first installation or even later on, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF CRITICAL COMPONENTS, At present there are no technical specifications issued by Bureau of Indian Standards on components like click-on adaptors, flexible wire-braided cylinder pigtails, non-return valve, cylinder manifold, isolation valves, first stage pressure regulators, second stage pressure regulators, gas meters, quarter turn valves - used in commercial and industrial LPG installations. However, we are indicating below technical requirements of the components used in consultation with Oil Industry and foreign specifications. The pipeline contractor should furnish manufacturer's test certificate of the ‘components supplied. CLICK ON ADAPTOR: Function of adaptor: ‘An adaptor is like a pressure regulator which is fitted directly onto the cylinder, However, unlike the Tegutator, the adapter does not reduce the — pressure. Its one end is connected to the cylinder & second end to the cylinder pigtail. When adaptor is turned on, gas starts flowing out of the cylinder at unreduced pressure thus coming out of the-eytinder at full cylinder pressure. Thus normal gas pressure in an adaptor is from 3.5 kgf/cm? to 5 kgf/cm? (50 to 70 psig). Specification of adaptor: Body of adaptor is pressure die-cast from zine alloy, Brass parts used shall be made from free cutting brass bar. The rubber components such as O-rings (minimum 2 O-rings) shall be made from nitrile rubber and should satisfy the technical requirements of rubber specified in IS: 9798. The inlet of the adaptor shall have parallel left-hand male threads conforming to Systems International threads with a thread angle of 60 degrees & a pitch of 1.814 mm. (see Fig 5 of IS:8737). The outlet of the adaptor shall have left hand male taper threads conforming to MECV (Male European Cylinder Valve) so that it matches with the internal threads of the cylinder pigtail. The adaptor shall be marked with the manufacturer’s brand name & the words “unreduced pressure”. ‘Testing of adaptor: The body of adaptor shall be tested for a hydraulic pressure of 25.4 kgf/em2 (360 psig). After machining, the adaptor shall be tested at a pneumatic pressure of 0.5 kgf/cm? as well as at 17 kgf/em2 to check leakage at both low & high pressure, The minimum gas flow rate should be 7 kg/hr at 7 kgf/em2. The adaptor should work satisfactorily in the temperature range of -20 deg + 65 deg centigrade when tested in accordance with Annexure F of I$:9798. FLEXIBLE WIRE-BRAIDED CYLINDER PIGTAIL: Function: Specification: Testing: A cylinder pigtail is a flexible wire-braided rubber tube which has a brass nut on both ends. Its one end is screwed on the adaptor and the other end on the non-return valve. The gas passes through the cylinder at full cylinder pressure. The normal pressure is between 50 to 70 psig. When a pigtail is damaged it can be easily replaced by unscrewing the old one & screwing in the new one, The rubber used in the tube shall synthetic & acrilo nitrile butadiele rubber and resistant to LPG. The brass nuts used shall be preferably forged from wrought or extruded sections. Alternatively it could be made from free cutting brass. The nuts shall have left hand female threads conforming to FECV (Female European Cylinder Valve) and shall natch the-outlet-threads-of click -“on adaptor. ‘The nut shall be machined as per Fig 6 of IS: 8737:1995 Type tests: The raw tube shall be tested hydraulically at a pressure of 42 kgffem2 (600 psig).

NON-RETURN VALVE, NRV: Funetion: Specification: ‘Testing: A non-retum valve, whose one end is serewed on the cylinder pigtail and hose second end is screwed on the threaded manifold nipple, shuts off the gas supply coming out of an individual cylinder to the manifold in case the cylinder pigtail of that cylinder bursts. The non-return valve also shuts off supply if there is a fault in the adaptor or the connection is loose. It does not allow the LPG to flow back from the manifold to the burst pigtail. Thus, there is no interruption in the gas supply system & all other cylinders continue to supply the gas except the cylinder which has a defective adaptor or pigtail, In the meantime, the defective pigtail/adaptor is replaced. The normal pressure in NRV is between 50 to 70 psig. ‘The non-return valve size is designated-as FECVxMECV. The FECV end is fitted on the steel nipple of cylinder manifold & the MECV end is fitted on the cylinder pigtail.

It has two arms one in the “Active” mode and the other “Reserve”. The manifolds are designated by the number of cylinders connected at a time. For example, a manifold size of 2x50 indicates that it consists of two sets of cylinders, both sets being suitable for connecting 50 cylinders at a time. The normal pressure in the manifold is between 50 to 70 psig. A manifold consists of a seamless pipe of nominal bore of 1” conforming to ASTM A-106, It is fabricated from a single length of a tube & has no joints in the running length. MS nipples equalling the number of cylinders used are welded on the seamless tube at regular intervals. The interval is 14” for cylinders upto 19 kg for standard manifold and 8” for staggered manifold. The respective values are 17” and 9” for 30 kg cylinders. The nipple end fits into the non retum valve end of FECV & hence its size is MECV. The manifold is painted red. One end of the manifold is blanked by welding forged or extruded mild steel blanking plate. The distance between the blanked end of the arm and the centre line of the nearest drilled hole(for fitting the steel nipple) shall be 3°( 76 mm) & the corresponding distance at the non-blanked end shall be 6”( 150 mm)including the manifold isolation valve.

If you turn off this valve, gas supply to that flat is stopped. This item is similar to item 12 except that the size is 15 NB nominal bore( 4”). Both the inlet and outlet have '4” BSP female threads which are screwed on to the male threads on pipeline. SECOND STAGE PRESSURE REGULATOR WITH UPS' Function: After the isolation valve (item 14) a second stage regulator with under- pressure shut off valve (UPSO) is fitted into each kitchen which reduces the pipeline pressure from about 10 psig to about 0.5 psig. This is the normal pressure at which cooking is done in houscholds. The UPSO closes the flow of LPG into the kitchen, once the pressure falls below the settings of UPSO device due to any reason such as failure of the regulator or low pipeline pressure etc. Hence UPSO will close the flow of gas if there is a drop of pressure (below the settings) either at the inlet or at the outlet of 2" stage pressure regulator. Specification: The inlet pressure range is-0.5 to-1-kgffem2-(-7 psig to-14 psig)-and-the outlet pressure range is 0.020 to 0.030 kgf/em2(=28 mb=0.3 psig to 0.45 psig). The flow rate is 0.5 Nm’/hr (=18 cfhr= 1 kg/hr). Techn GAS METRE: Function: Specification: As per IS: 9798 After the second stage regulator a gas meter is installed inside each kitchen, which measures the quantity of gas consumed by each flat. Each flat owner gets a monthly bill as per the gas meter reading just like electricity meter. It should conform to BS 4161 Part 5. The maximum working pressure(Ppax) ie outlet pressure is 0.1 kgflem2(=1.4 psig=100 mb). The normal working pressure range is 0.020 to 0.050 kgf/em? (0.3 psig to 0.7 psig).

Testing: ‘The meter shall be tested for conformity to flow rate. QUARTER TURN BALL VALVE : Function: Afier the gas meter and before the gas appliance a quarter turn ball valve is fitted which the housewife uses to close or open the gas supply to that appliance. The quarter turn valve is connected to the rubber tubing whose second end is connected to hotplate or any other cooking appliance. One can use many gas appliances such as hotplate, gas oven, gas lantern ete, Each appliance will have a quarter turn valve which can be individually switched on or off. These quarter turn valves are in addition to the switch on/off knobs which are a part of the individual appliances. Specification and testing: It is same as item no. 14 except that its outlet does not have threads but a brass nipple on which the rubber tubing is slipped on. STEEL PIPES OF VARYING DIAMETERS: Function: Specification: A series of pipes of different diameters & having various branches including risers (vertical pipes) carry the gas from the manifold system to the kitchen of each flat, All the pipes used in the system are ERW welded pipes conforming to heavy duty class (Class C) of IS: a pg ild steel tubes, CPR 4 tubular and other wrought fittings. Part 1 Mild Steel Tubes. The dimensions are given in Table 3 of this specification. The testing is also as per IS:1239 (Part 1). It is to be noted that Nominal Bore(NB) represents neither the outside nor the inside diameter of pipe. It is merely a reference denoting the approximate bore of the pipe. For each size of pipe, the outside diameter is fixed by the corresponding screw thread dimensions of IS: 554;1985(-ISO 7-1), and therefore the actual bore of each size of tube will vary according to thickness. Three classes of pipes are there depending on thickness. These are light(=class A), medium (=class B) and heavy (class C). All screwed pipes are supplied with pipe threads conforming to IS:354:1985. The threads in IS:554 are taper male threads or parallel female threads. The basic form of taper threads is taper of | in 16 measured on diameter, The angle between the flanks, measured in an axial plane section is 55°. The parallel threads also have an angle of 55°. ‘The sizes in accordance with IS:1239 (Part 1) used are as follows: 40 NB nominal bore pipe ( 1”)- This runs from outlet of the First Stage Regulator(Item No. 8) to the vertical risers. The max outside dia is 48.8 mm and minimum 47.9 mm. The thickness is 4.0 mm. The permitted tolerance on thickness is -10% with no limit on plus tolerance. © 25 NB pipe (1") ~This runs from start of risers to upto isolation valve in kitchen ie Item No. 14. The maximum OD is 34.2 mm and minimum 33.3. mm. The thickness is 4.0 mm. The permitted tolerance on thickness is -10% with no limit on plus tolerance. © 15 NB pipe (4”) ~ This runs in the kitchen. The max OD is 21.8 mm. and minimum 21.0 mm, The thickness is 3.2 mm. The permitted tolerance on thickness is -10% with no limit on plus tolerance. 3. CODE OF PRACTICE FOR LAYING AND PRESSURE TESTING OF PIPELINE: Lay g of Pipeline: The pipeline shall be laid as per IS:6044 (Part 1): 2004 ~ Code of Practice for liquefied petroleum gas storage installations (Part 1) Commercial and Industrial Cylinder Installations. When a pipeline is laid deep in the earth (3 feet deep) across a road, itis covered with a concrete ume pipe of larger diameter so that no big load of traveling vehicles comes on it directly. Two coats of red oxide will be applied on piping above ground. 16 Suitable insulation tape or coating will be applied on the surface of that portion of pipeline which is laid underground so as to prevent its corrosion due to soil conditions. Suitable electric welding machine will be used such as single phase or 3 phase transformer type. The welding will be done by an experienced welder. The electrodes used will be Advani Ocrlikon brand, Pressure testing of pipeline: Manifold - 25 kg/em2 hydraulically for 1 hour. The normal gas pressure in this section is about 7 kgf/em2. The maximum attainable pressure in this section at 65 deg centigrade is 16.87 kgflem2. Piping after Ist stage regulator & before 2nd stage regulator - Pneumatically for 30 minutes at 2 kgf/em2. The normal gas pressure in this section is about 0.7 kgflem2(10 psig). Note: The test duration will be 30 minutes for each 500 cubic feet (or 14,159 cubic metre ie 14,159 litres of pipe volume (based on inner dia of pipe) or fraction thereof. Kitchen piping beyond the gas meter - Pneumatically at 150 gf/em2 ( 2 psig) for 10 minutes, The normal gas pressure in this section is 0.030 kgfiem2 (=30 gficm2 = 28 mb= 0.4 psig). Hence, the test pressure here is 5 times the working pressure. The regulator and gas meter shall not be a part of this pressure testing. Note: The test pressure of | kgf/em2 specified by BPCL in its document is very high & needs to be modified. By testing at 150 gf/em2, we are also eliminating the possibility of connecting inadvertently the 2"! stage regulator & gas meter in the pressure testing process & subject them also to a high test pressure of I kgf/em2. This will damage both the gas meter & the regulator. Many inexperienced workers of contractors who took instructions from equally ignorant officers of gas supply agencies have caused damages to gas meter and PRS-2. Subjecting a low pressure pipeline (of 0.028 kgicm2) to a high pressure of 1 kg/em2 pressure is dangerous. Even IS:6044 (part 1) mentions a test pressure of 150 gf/em2. 17 MATERIAL SPECIFICATION & MAKE, Material Specification Make Manifold Pipes Seamless Pipes Maharashtra SL ‘Non Return Valves a Standrad (IS Marked) | Cylinder Pigtail Sureksha Compact Valve Adaptor United / Vanaz.
