3.0 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

3.1 General

3.1.1 Heat Conservation

Piping, vessels, and equipment adjacent to platforms or other operating areas, that are operating at or above 60 °C (140 °F) and do not require heat conservation insulation, shall be insulated for personnel protection, except in non-congested areas where expanded-metal guards can be installed. The insulation shall be installed only on that portion which personnel might come in contact with while performing their normal duties. This shall include those areas of piping and equipment that are less than 2134 mm (7 feet) above either finished grade or a working platform, or within 914 mm (3 feet) horizontally of stairs, ladders, or working platforms.

3.1.3 Process Stability

The primary consideration for using process stability insulation shall be to control the process temperature, including impact because of sudden changes in ambient conditions. Design of process stability insulation shall be based on required process temperature and annual extremes in ambient conditions.

In cases where maintaining the process temperature between source equipment (e.g., regeneration heaters) and destination equipment (e.g., treatment beds) is critical, the insulation requirements, particularly for the interconnecting piping, shall be based on the exit temperature of the process fluid from the source equipment, and an allowable temperature drop as specified in the source equipment datasheet. In the absence of a defined allowable temperature drop, the insulation requirements shall be based on a temperature drop of no more than 28°C (82°F).

Thickness of process stability insulation for piping, vessels, and equipment shall be determined by the EPC contractor for all applicable cases.

3.1.4 Thickness of insulation (not including process stability insulation, PS) for piping and equipment shall be determined by reference to fluid operating temperatures and to the appropriate insulation thickness shown on Table IA, Table IB, Table IIA or Table IIB of this specification. Insulation thickness shall not be changed when heat tracing is applied unless otherwise noted on drawings.

3.1.5 Insulation supports for piping or equipment shall be attached in the shop whenever possible in accordance with Paragraph 4.2.5 or Paragraph 5.2.3. Studs, pins, clips, or other attachments shall not be field welded to post-weld heat-treated vessels (including tanks) or piping without written authorization by the Company.

3.1.6 All carbon steel or low alloy valve bodies, pipe flanges (refer to Table III), manways, and exchanger body flanges that operate at temperatures between 121°C (250°F) and 399°C (750°F) shall be insulated unless specified otherwise. Stainless steel flanges shall be insulated only if they will always remain cooler than 204°C (400°F). Permanent insulation shall be used for screwed and socket welded valves and fittings.

3.2 Materials Requirements

3.2.1 Acceptable Materials

The weather jacket shall be impaled on the laybar studs in the crown of a corrugation and shall extend under the laybar a minimum of one corrugation. Vertical seams in the weather jacket shall be secured with screws or pop rivets on 9-inch maximum centers. Two S-clips shall support each weather jacket sheet at each corner overlap and in the center between the overlaps.

7.1.3 Impalement System - prior to weatherjacketing, the insulation blocks shall be secured to the tank with cupped-head weld pins or 14 gage galvanized wire fastened to the impalement studs. The pins shall be spaced at a maximum of 24-inch centers and with a minimum of 4 per insulation block. The weather jacket shall be impaled on studs with each vertical seam having at least 3 studs spaced a maximum of 48 inches apart. These studs shall be impaled through the crown of a corrugation. Each corner stud shall retain the four sheet layers caused by the sheet overlaps. The top and bottom weather jacket shall have studs within 6 inches of the edge. The vertical seams shall be secured with gasketed and self-tapping screws, spaced between studs and at a maximum spacing of 9 inches. Two S-clips shall be used to support each weather jacket sheet and shall be equally spaced between vertical overlaps.

7.1.4 Both the laybar and impalement systems shall include the following details:

7.1.4.1 Welding studs shall be secured with a stud welding gun or by manual welding and shall be tested with a light hammer blow. Contractor shall use stud or manual welding procedures which provide a mechanically sound stud attachment without undercutting of the tank plate. No stud shall be closer than 6 inches to any nozzle, boss, vertical or horizontal weld, seam, reinforcing pad or rivet. After welding studs to the shell, contractor shall abrasive blast the stud weld attachment to an SSPC-SP6 finish and spot prime per project specifications JOP20-0000-PI-SPC-00001,Painting and Surface Preparation.

7.1.4.2 Insulation blocks shall be placed with long dimension vertical and with vertical joints staggered one-half the width of the block. The insulation shall have a 6-inch clearance from the tank bottom.

7.1.4.3 Insulation shall be fitted around manways and other appurtenances to allow room for bolt removal. These appurtenances shall not be insulated.

Insulation Style: A. Insulate the flange joint using the same thickness as the pipe insulation. B. Insulate the flange joint using the same thickness as the pipe insulation. Use a flange spray shield in hydrocarbon service. C. Use Expanded Metal Mesh Guards Notes: (1) Flanges and studs must be designed with ASME Code. In sour service, medium strength level studs shall be in accordance with ASTM A 193 Grade B7M (tempered to <225

Brinnell Hardness) with ASTM A194 Grade 2HM nuts. (2) Insulate all flanges on insulated piping operating over 60°C (140°F), except in cooling water service. (3) Use always the appropriate nuts to match the stud material (see ASTM A-194).
