Remarks<br />
Steam piping network comes under the purview <strong>of</strong> IBR and thickness calculation shall be<br />
carried-out as per stipulations indicated in IBR and approval <strong>of</strong> CIB shall be obtained.<br />
02.05. EXPANSION AND FLEXIBILITY.<br />
All Pipe work shall be designed to provide sufficient flexibility against thermal expansion<br />
to prevent development <strong>of</strong> undesirable forces and moments at points <strong>of</strong> connection to<br />
equipment, at anchorage or at guide points.<br />
As far as possible, flexibility shall be provided by planning route with change <strong>of</strong> direction<br />
or by the use <strong>of</strong> bends, loops or <strong>of</strong>f-sets.<br />
Whenever self-compensation can not be achieved by pipe routing, provision for thermal<br />
expansion shall be made by providing expansion loops or expansion joints as per<br />
following criteria:<br />
• U loops shall be provided for all low pressure fuel gas piping up to DN 300 size<br />
and high pressure piping for all sizes.<br />
• For high pressure piping, where U-loop is not possible, bellow type expansion<br />
joint shall be provided. Bellow type compensators shall also be provided in low<br />
pressure gas lines.<br />
While locating the expansion joints following guidelines should be followed:<br />
• Bellow compensators should be located preferably in the center <strong>of</strong> two fixed<br />
points.<br />
• U-Compensators should be located in between two fixed points with variation in<br />
pipe lengths in the ratio <strong>of</strong> 1:2 (max).<br />
• Gland Compensators should be located near the fixed supports to facilitate<br />
smooth functioning.<br />
• Bellow and gland compensators shall have flanged connection with pipes<br />
