welded pipe
B36.19(SS)
• End : Plain End, Bevel End, Threaded
Electric-fusion welded pipe
• pipe having a longitudinal butt joint wherein coalescence is
produced in the preformed tube by manual or automatic electric-
arc welding.
• The weld may be single (welded from one side) or double
(welded from inside and outside) and may be made with or
without the addition of filler metal.
• Pipes material :- ASTM A691 (Gr 9 CR CL42 , Gr 1.25 CR CL42)
(AS),A672 Gr B60 (CL12 , CL22)(CS), A358 TP(316L CL1, 304 CL1)
(SS)
• Size Range: 10” NB to 54” NB, NB(As per PMS)
• Ends :Bevel End
Submerged arc Wielded pipe
• Submerged-arc welding (SAW) is a common arc welding
process that involves the formation of an arc between a continuously
fed electrode and the workpiece.
• A blanket of powdered flux generates a protective gas shield and a
slag (and may also be used to add alloying elements to the weld
pool) which protects the weld zone.
• Pipes material :- IS 3589 Gr 410
• Size Range: 16” NB to 80” NB, (As per PMS)
• Ends :Bevel End
Spiral wielded pipe
• pipe having a helical seam with a butt joint which is
welded using either an electrical resistance or electric
fusion
• The strength of the spiral welded pipe is generally
higher than that of the straight welded pipe.
• The spiral welded pipe can produce welded pipes with
different pipe diameters with the same width of
blanks,
• The production speed is low in comparison with the
straight pipe welded pipe of the same length because
the weld length is increased by 30 to 100.
• Therefore, the smaller diameter welded pipes are
mostly straight seam welded, while the large diameter
welded pipes are mostly spiral welded.
Flanges :-A flange is a method of connecting pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment
to form a piping system. It also provides easy access for cleaning, inspection or modification
Types of flanges :-
• Weld Neck Flange
• Slip On flange
• Socket Weld flange
• Lap Joint flange
• Threaded flange
• Blind flange
• Spectacle Blind Flange
• Spacer and Blind Flange
Weld Neck Flange
• Stock Finish: Gaskets get “squeezed” into the flange face surface and create a
very tight seal. 1000 µin AARH max.
Types of valves
• On - off Valve :- Gate Valve , Plug valve, Butterfly Valve, Diaphragm
• Flow regulation :- Globe Valve , Ball Valve , Needle Valve
• Non Return Type:- Check Valve
• Pressure Relief Valve
Gate Valve
• A gate valve is the most common type of valve in any
process plant. It is a linear motion valve used to start or stop
fluid flow
• In service, these valves are either in a fully open or fully
closed position
• Gate valves are used in almost all fluid services such as air,
fuel gas, feed water, steam, lube oil, hydrocarbon, and
almost any services.
• Pressure Class Rating :- 150 to 2500#
• Size Range: 1/2” NB to 42” NB
• Dimension Std – API 602 ,600, ISO 15761,ISO 10434
Globe valve
• Globe valve is used to stop, start, and regulate the fluid flow.
• Globe Valves are used in the systems where flow control is
required and leak tightness is also necessary.
• Globe valve provides better shut off as compared to the gate valve
and it is costlier than a gate valve.
• Pressure Class Rating :- 150 to 2500#
• Size Range: 1/2” NB to 16” NB
• Dimension Std – API 602/ISO 15761 , BS-1873
Plug Valve
• Plug valve is a Quarter-turn rotary motion Valve that uses a
tapered or cylindrical plug to stop or start the flow. The disk is
in plug shape, which has a passage to pass the flow.
• Plug valve used as on-off stop valves and capable of providing
bubble-tight shutoff.
• Plug valve can be used in a vacuum to high-pressure &
temperature applications.
• Pressure Class Rating :- 150 to 2500#
• Size Range: 1/2” NB to 12” NB
• Dimension Std – API 599 , BS-5353
Ball valve
• A Ball valve is a quarter-turn rotary motion valve that uses a
ball-shaped disk to stop or start the flow.
• Most ball valves are of the quick-acting type, which requires
a 90° turn of the valve handle to operate the valve.
• The ball valve is Smaller and lighter than a gate valve of the
same size and rating.
• Pressure Class Rating :- 150 to 1500#
• Size Range: 1/2” NB to 16” NB
• Dimension Std – API 6D , BS EN ISO 17292
Butterfly Valve
• A Butterfly valve is a quarter-turn rotary motion valve, that is used
to stop, regulate, and start the flow.
• The butterfly valve has a short circular body. Butterfly Valve is
suitable for large valve applications due to Compact, lightweight
design that requires considerably less space, as compared to other
valves.
• Pressure Class Rating :- 150 to 2500#
• Size Range: 3” NB to 48” NB
• Dimension Std – API 609, BS EN 593
Needle Valve
• Needle valves are similar to a globe valve in design with the
biggest difference is the sharp needle-like disk.
• It gives very accurate control of flow in small diameter piping
systems. They get their name from their sharp-pointed conical
disc and matching seat.
• Needle valves can be used as both on/off and throttle valves
• where precise adjustments of flow are required or where a small
flow rate is desired
• Size Range: 1/2” NB to 2” NB
Pressure Relief Valve
The cost of installation & maintenance is very low compared to other types.
Stop Check Valve :-Stop Check Valve is a combination of a lift check valve
and a globe valve. It can either be used as a check valve or as an isolation
(stop) valve like a globe valve.
These valves can be closed with the help of a stem that is not connected to
the valve disc during normal operation and make it possible to use these
valves as a regular NRV.
• Pressure Seal Bonnet :-Pressure seal construction is adopted for Valves for high pressure service, typically
in excess of above 170 bar.
• The unique feature about the pressure seal Bonnet is that the body-Bonnet joints seals improves as the internal pressure
in the Valve increases, compared to other constructions where the increase in internal pressure tends to create leaks in
the body-Bonnet joint.
• According to PMS
Upto 600# rating, 2" and larger size steel Gate, Globe & Check valves in Hydrocarbon and utility service shall have
bolted bonnets.
Pressure-seal bonnets or covers shall be used for Classes 900# and above to minimize bonnet leakage.
Bolted Bonnet vs Pressure seal Bonnets
PIPE FITTINGS
• Pipe Fittings are Piping component that helps in
Changes the direction of the flow. Changes the
size of pipe such as reducers, reducing tees.
• It is also used to Connect different components
such as couplings and stop the flows such as
Caps.
TYPES OF PIPE FITTING
PIPE FITTING USES
PIPE ELBOW • It provides flexibility to change the pipe direction. Elbow mainly
available in two standard types 90° and 45°.
• Available in two radius types, Short radius (1D) and Long Radius
(1.5D).
• Available Sizes : 1/2” NB to 48” NB
180° RETURNS • Make a 180º change in direction. Available in short & long pattern.
• Returns are used in the heating coil, heat exchanger, etc.
• Available Sizes :2” NB to 24” NB
PIPE TEES • Used for distributing the fluid from the run pipe .
• There are two types of Tee used in piping, Equal / Straight Tee, and
Reducing / Unequal Tee.
• Available Sizes :2” NB to 48” NB
WYE TEES • It is a type of Tee that has the branch at a 45° angle, or an angle
other than 90°. Wye tee allows one pipe to be joined to another
• Tee reduces friction and turbulence that could hamper the flow.

PIPE FITTING USES
Fittings Codes:-
Forged steel SW and threaded fittings:- ASME B16.11
If Not Covered under B16.11, BS 3799 may be used
BW Fittings :- ASME B16.9
Gaskets:-Gasket is sealing material placed between connecting flanges to create a static seal. This will maintain
the leakage proof sealing in all operating conditions.
Metallic gaskets Manufactured from a material such as Soft iron, Low
Carbon steel, Stainless Steel, Monel, and Inconel.
Octagonal Ring Gasket • Metallic gaskets are used in high-pressure class flanges,
Oval Ring Gasket normally above 900 Class, they can also be used for high-
temperature.
• High tension bolting is required when we used metallic
gaskets.
• They are very robust & most costly.
Non -Metallic gaskets Materials used for this type of gaskets are Graphite, Rubber,
Teflon, PTFE, and Compressed Non-Asbestos Fiber .
Cam profile Gaskets • Gasket is having a solid metal core with concentric grooves
• Filler material, either graphite or PTFE is layered on this
grooved metal ring
• Costlier than Spiral wound gasket but provides better
blowout resistance and easy to handle even in large
diameters.
Metal Jacketed Gasket • The Soft filler material is enclosed in a thin sheet of a metal
jacket.
• Jacketed gaskets are easily fabricated in a variety of sizes and
shapes.
• They are used in heat exchangers, shell, channel, and cover
flange joints.
Codes for Gaskets
• Non-metallic gaskets shall conform to B16.21 (corresponding to B16.5) upto 24", and B16.21 (corresponding
to B16.47B) beyond 24", unless otherwise specified.
• Spiral wound gaskets and Ring Joint gaskets shall conform to B16.20.
