6.0 DESCRIPTION

This document gives the guidelines

guideline of piping engineering for detailed design & engi
engineering
where company standard for jacketed piping is not available. This document shall be
updated and issued as project document after incorporating project specific requirements.
There
here are two methods of jacketing, fully jacketed and partial jacketed. SSelection of
jacket type is as per P&ID, based on process requirement.
Fully jacketed lines are used when it is critical to maintain the process fluid within a
narrow temperature range. Fully jacketed lines are used for very waxy process fluids,
liquid sulphur
phur lines, when rapid scaling (even on valves/flanges) can be expected, and for
slurry lines in polymerisation units, etc. The core pipe (process pipe)) shall have oversize
(reducing type) flanges, allowing the jacket to run from flange to flange. The valv
valves shall
also be jacketed and have flanges of a size corresponding to the jacket size.
Partial jacketed lines are used when there is still a high heat input demand but it is less
critical to maintain the process fluid within a narrow temperature range. Typ Typical
applications are viscous slurry suction lines, drain collecting lines in trenches, gaseous
service etc. The jacket shall be swaged to the core pipe (process pipe) as close as possible
to the process line flanges. The valves are traced and are the same size as the process line
flanges. The jacket is provided only for the straight portion of pipe. The jacket swages
near the fittings hence in case of partial jacketing, reducing flanges are not required for
core pipe.

a) The steam supply piping to the jackets.
jackets
b) The individual steam jacket circuits.
circuits
c) The condensate outlet piping to condensate header or to the next jacket
jacket.

6.1.1 Steam supply to jacket

j

a) The steam supply for the jackets shall generally be low pressure steam as specified
in P&IDs.

b) The steam supply to each jacketed circuit shall be taken from steam supply

6.1.2 Individual Jacket Circuits-Layouts

Circuits and connection

a) A steam jacket circuit is formed by a number of jacket sections (pipe, fittings,

valves, etc) which are connected in series by jump overs. Each jacket circuit shall
receive steam from steam manifold through an isolation valve. At the end of steam
circuit, the condensate shall be connected to a condensate manifold or h header
through a steam trap.
b) Steam inlet to jacket shall be provided from top of the pipe in case of horizontal
lines. The jump overs and condensate outlets shall be from the bottom. In case of
vertical lines steam inlet shall be provided at the topmost pointnt and condensate
outlet shall be from the lowest possible points. For vertical pipe two consecutive
jump overs shall be 1800 apart.
c) A wear plate of 3mm thick shall be welded on core pipe (process pipe
pipe) in front of
steam entry into the jacket to avoid erosion of pipe.
d) Jump over shall be provided with flanges to facilitate the removal of jack
jacketed pipe
spool. Jump over shall be arranged to provide adequate clearance for installation &
removal of flange insulation covers in the jacketed
jack line.

e) The maximum number of jacketed sections included in one circuit depends on

layout, type of fittings or valves, size etc. Usually one circuit shall not have more
than six (6) sections.
f) Straight run of pipe shall have break-up flange joints at every 6m for liquid lines
and 12m (max) for gas lines.
lines
g) The total length of one circuit shall not exceed 20 m in case
ase of full jacketing and
25m in case of partial jacketing.
h) For change in direction, cross/split cross shall be e used for liquid ssulphur lines.
Clear space of 1200mm shall be considered for roding at every change in direction.
However, for other services, elbows may be used. Elbows shall have R = 1.5D (Long
radius) for core pipe (process pipe) and R = 1D (Short radius) for jacket pipe.
i) Although each circuit shall be arranged such that the flow of condensate is
generally downwards, a small vertical rise due to layout is permitted. The total of
individual vertical pipe rise per circuit shall not be more than 1 meters.
j) Use of eccentric reducer in fully jacketed lines shall be avoided as far as possible
due to installation difficulties.
difficulties For the size reduction in a line preferably
concentric reducers shall be used. However if eccentric reducer
reducers are unavoidable
and with the use of standard reducers there is a offset in the centrelines of jacket
and core pipe at any one of the ends following options may be applied
applied:

 Use eccentric reducers with partial jacketing at reducers

reducers. This shall be
checked and confirmed with Process.

 Use fabricated
abricated eccentric reducer in the jacket pipe to match the centre
lines of core pipe and jacket pipe. This shall be approved by client.
k) The layout of piping and equipment must be such to avoid congealing.
l) For branch connection weldolet shall be avoided for core pipe as it may ffoul with
branch jacketed pipe ID.

6.1.3 Condensate outlet Piping

P to condensate header

a) At the end of each circuit, the steam condensate is to be drained from lowest point
in the circuit. Each condensate line shall have an individual steam trap assembly
before joining
oining the condensate manifold.
manifold
b) The condensate drain shall be ¾” NB size.
c) Condensate drain lines from each circuit shall be routed up to the condensate
collection manifold. The condensate collection manifold shall have ¾” connections
with minimum one connection
connection per manifold as spare. This manifold can be common
for the condensate lines from the jacket piping as well as condensate tracer lead

anifolds shall be located on grade or on platform preferably in
vertical position.

6.1.4 Standard Jacketed Pipe assemblies

configuration, dimensions may vary and these shall be shown on the isometric drawings,
and the same shall take precedence over the standard dimension.

6.3 Fabrication

a) Core pipe (process pipe) spool shall be assembled and welded, the outer pipe

by splitting short sections of jacket pipe or fitting longitudinally. (Refer Detail – A).
b) Core pipe shall be welded to the bore of the end flangess and the outer jacket shall
be welded to the back of flanges or to the end of plate.
pla
c) Use of weldolets for branch connections of the core pipe should be avoided. In
case weldolets are used, then a higher size jacket branch fitting shall be chosen so
that there is sufficient annular space between the outer diameter of the core
branch fitting and the inner diameter of the jacket branch fitting.
d) After fabrication inspection and hydro testing of core pipe spool, the outer loose
pipe, split pipes and fittings shall
s be assembled and welding to be completed to
form the closed jacket. Final attachment welds to the terminal flanges shall be
made after all steam inlet/outlet and instrument connections have been co
completed
on the jacket pipe. (Refer Detail – B)
