Position of the tower vessel nozzle
Thread Content
During the piping process of a distillation tower, how is the orientation of each pipe connection on the tower determined?
You need to ask the designer; it should be calculated based on the design
The orientation of the pipe outlet was suggested by the process engineering team to facilitate piping work
Typically, the process engineering department submits the pipe outlet layout diagram.
The installation construction drawings should be consulted; or the tower design drawings will indicate this information.
It seems that the setup is primarily based on the requirements of the tower equipment, with piping being secondary :)
The pipe outlet orientation diagram was proposed by the piping specialty, right?
It should be determined based on the layout plan of the entire system and the path of the pipes.
The pipe outlet orientation is a topic related to process engineering, and there are orientation diagrams available
I tried it once; by visual inspection on site, the difference was less than 5°, so I changed the position of the platform.
