What are the specifications for pump piping? What should I be careful about?
Thread Content
I currently need to install piping for some pumps, which are located in a pump room. I would like to ask everyone what considerations I should keep in mind, or what the piping specifications are. Please give me lots of advice.
Look up some information; there are many books on the topic. The key is to determine what type of medium the pump is designed for
I’m a beginner and don’t know where to look for information? I hope an expert can give some guidance. When it comes to pumps, flexibility means that they cannot be connected directly from a high place, right? :o
Generally, several elbows are needed to create a pie-shaped structure. Since centrifugal pumps are typically used as the driving equipment for large pipelines, a flexible design is necessary. In simpler terms, this means making two bends, but not too many, as it is also important to keep the length as short as possible
By the way, taking a look at Sinopec’s “Red Book” will be helpful
For pumps installed indoors, it is necessary to first ensure there is sufficient space for maintenance; second, a proper piping design is required, including the correct design of reducers, exhaust valves, pressure gauges, check valves, etc.; third, if toxic or harmful substances are being transported, attention must also be paid to ventilation and matters related to maintenance and discharge
Thank you all for your advice. But I have multiple valves at the exits and entrances, so the operating height of the handwheel is a bit high. Unless the valves are installed after a turn, which option is better? Because it is said that the pump’s valves are not operated frequently?
