[Excel] Piping Slide Chart Notes

Be The First To Comment

Here's an excel file i found online which helps in finding dimensions of Butt welded, socket welded flanges, valves, olets and bolting. It also include Pipe thickness chart, pipe sizing chart and computed weights. It's quiet an old excel yet seems to be very useful for pipers. Here are some point about it:

1. Cells shaded in green denote component and piping weights. reducer weights are only for the size indicated.

2. Cells shaded in cyan relate to fig. 8/blank and spacer thicknesses. 

3. No responsibilty will be accepted for any errors occuring from the use of the data obtained from this spreadsheet. 

4. Future modifications/updates are planned such as inclusion of valve weights.

PDMS Video Tutorials (A Series of Videos to Learn PDMS from Scratch)

Be The First To Comment
Here are a series of videos of PDMS tutorials to watch and learn. Someone has done the 'job well done' work in making these videos well and here's my thumbs up for the video maker of these videos. These videos shall help you in gaining an expertise in equipment as well as pipe routing and modelling.

ASME B31.3 Nonmetallic Process Piping

Be The First To Comment

Nonmetallic Piping

  • General
  • Design, Fabrication, and Installation for
  • Thermoplastics
  • Reinforced thermosetting resins
  • Reinforced concrete
  • Vitrified clay
  • Borosilicate glass
  • Piping lined with nonmetals
  • Limitations

Trend toward the use of nonmetals is increasing

Nonmetals are used when the metallic alternative is judged to be too expensive

Allowances for variations of pressure and temperature described are not permitted for nonmetallic piping

Increased allowable stresses for occasional loads are not permitted

Thermoplastics

Materials that can be repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling

• Pipe is extruded
• Fittings are usually injection molded, but sometimes fabricated
• Valve parts are usually injection molded

Commonly used thermoplastics

ABS - Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
CPVC - Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride
FEP - Perfluoro ethylene propylene
(HD)PE (High density) polyethylene
PFA - Polyperfluoroalkoxy Alkane
PP - Polypropylene
PVC - Polyvinyl chloride
PVDF - Polyvinylidene fluoride
