Threaded connection nozzles on tower equipment
Thread Content
Some of the instruments installed horizontally on the tower equipment of this project are connected to the equipment using NPT threads. Now, the owner intends to add valves (3000#) between the nozzles and these instruments; considering the additional weight, it is necessary to know what torque the threaded connections can withstand. Have the experts encountered this situation before? It weighs less than 1 Kg.M now
I hadn’t paid attention to the issue of torque before. In those I’ve encountered, there are control valves at the base of the instruments for isolation; I’ve never seen any direct connections.
