Compensation issues for torch pipelines
Thread Content
We are working on a DN600 flare main pipe, with a temperature of 280 degrees. There are requirements regarding slope; according to SH3009, natural compensation is preferred, and a horizontal U-shaped configuration is ideal. However, this makes it difficult to construct the pipe supports, so we want to use compensators. I wonder if anyone has used compensators for compensation? What type is it? Additionally, SH3009 specifies requirements regarding the horizontal thrust exerted by SH3009 on the supports of flammable gas discharge pipes with condensate; does this apply to all support points, including those in the middle? Thank you!
For the torches in our factory, we have only seen natural compensation with a horizontal U-shaped bend.
