3.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Design Considerations
3.1.1 Unless otherwise noted in the specifications, all pressures and temperatures referred to shall
be considered Design Conditions. Design Conditions shall be as defined in Doc. No....
3.1.2 Piping component wall thicknesses are based on pressure design thickness, taking into
account the specified corrosion allowance and any permitted manufacturer under tolerance.
Piping component wall thickness does not include additional thickness that may be required to
compensate for design considerations such as thermal loads due to restraints, live loads,
hydraulic shock, loads on underground pipe, or loads or forces from other sources. Additional
loads will need to be considered in the design of piping systems.
3.1.3 Unless otherwise indicated in the specifications, piping components are specified to be
adequate for the full flange rating of the pressure class.
3.2 Line Class Notes
3.2.1 Each pipe specification contains specific numbered notes (in parenthesis) that pertain to
one individual component or to a group of components, as well as a list of additional
requirements that pertain to the entire specification.
3.2.2 Line class notes are provided in page 4 of this Standard. The information contained in these
notes shall be read and adhered to ensure compliance with the line class specification.
3.3 Item Descriptions
3.3.1 The item descriptions on the individual line class are abbreviated, and may be used for
purchasing the item with the exception of Valves. Abbreviations are contained in page 4 of this
Standard.
3.2.2 The complete purchase description for Valves is contained in the Valve specifications, and
shall be followed to ensure compliance with the pipe specifications.
4.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Pipe
4.1.1 Welded pipe shall not be substituted for seamless pipe. Seamless pipe may be substituted
for welded pipe in all services, sizes and materials.
4.1.2 Where "CALC" is specified for piping material wall thickness, the wall thickness shall be
calculated in accordance with the applicable ASME B31 Code.
4.1.3 Stainless steel, electric fusion welded (EFW) pipe (ASTM A 358) may be substituted for
ASTM A 312 EFW pipe for sizes 14 in. NPS and above.
4.1.4 Carbon steel seamless pipe, ASTM A 106B, may be substituted for ASTM A 53B, Type S,
and seamless pipe in all sizes.
4.1.5 Where joint factors are specified for pipe, these factors shall be taken as minimum values.
Use of pipe with joint factors in excess of these values is acceptable. If pipe manufactured with a
higher joint factor than listed on the specification is used, the minimum joint factor listed on the
specification shall be used when calculating wall thicknesses of the pipe.
4.1.6 Double Submerged Arc Welded (DSAW) pipe shall be used for all EFW stainless steel
pipes. If DSAW pipe is not available, EFW pipe with a single butt joint having a joint factor of
0.80 shall be used for 8 in. NPS and smaller.
4.2 Fittings
4.2.1 Welded fittings shall not be substituted for seamless fittings. Seamless fittings may be
substituted for welded fittings in all services, sizes and materials.
4.2.2 Dimensions of all fittings shall be in accordance with the industry standard referenced on
the individual specification.
4.2.3 Buttweld fittings shall have a wall thickness to match the wall thickness of the adjoining
pipe. Fittings of commercially available wall thickness shall be used even though the fitting may
have a slightly larger wall thickness than the adjoining pipe. The ends of the fitting shall be taper
bored if the thickness of the fittings exceeds that of the pipe by more than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm).
Taper boring shall not result in an infringement on the minimum wall thickness.
4.2.4 Long radius elbows are required for all buttweld elbows. Short radius elbows shall only be
used with "Client" approval.
4.2.5 Use of Lokring Fittings
LOKRING fittings are generally recognized in the industry as a robust pressure containing
device that can be easily and quickly installed without a hot work permit. These features can be
highly attractive when considering the installation cost. However, there is limited experience
within "Client" on the overall long term performance for these fittings, so the potential for long

term reliability and maintenance issues must be considered, such as inspection limitations and
the potential for crevice corrosion, water freeze damage and stress corrosion cracking due to the
inherent crevice between components and the high sealing stresses. For these reasons LOKRING
fittings are considered an acceptable alternative for use in pipe specifications provided all the
limitations described below have been met:
1. Must be approved for the intended service by the local jurisdiction or governing body for
pressure equipment. (Note: ASME B31 proof testing requirements have been satisfied.)
2. The fittings are used in Category D (as defined in Doc. No...) or utility services as
follows:
Air, Water, Nitrogen (Outdoor Service Only) and Low pressure steam and condensate
service with a maximum design pressure of 200 PSIG.
3. The applicable pipe specification allows the use of Socket Weld construction for the
services described in item 2 above.
4. Installation shall be only for Carbon Steel piping systems up to 500F (260C) and
Stainless Steel piping systems up to 120F (49C).
5. Sizes up to and including 3 in. NPS.
6. Manufacturer trained and certified personnel must perform the installation utilizing
manufacturer approved tool kits and installation procedures. Consult LOKRING for
guidance: www.lokring.com.
7. These fittings shall not be installed in piping systems which historically have shown
susceptibility to crevice corrosion.
8. No installations shall be made in service applications with high pulsation or vibration
forces.
9. No installation in any piping systems that require post weld heat treatment.
10. Fittings shall be grit blasted and painted in accordance to Doc. No....
11. Fittings operating below 300F (149C) shall be sealed with a temperature resistant
silicone caulking to prevent the ingress of water.
12. After installation, perform 100% visual inspection to verify the NOGO gage markings are
indicating proper installation (marking partially covered), the fitting body protrudes from
underneath the swage ring, and remaining gaps are acceptable per the LOKRING
installation procedure.
4.3 Flanges

4.3.1 Dimensions and surface finishes of all flanges shall be in accordance with the industry
standard referenced on the individual specification.
4.3.2 Buttweld flanges shall have a wall thickness to match the wall thickness of the adjoining
pipe. Flanges of commercially available wall thickness shall be used even though the flange may
have a slightly larger wall thickness than the adjoining pipe. The end of the flange shall be
tapering bored if the thickness of the flange exceeds that of the pipe by more than 1/16 in. (1.6
mm). Taper boring shall not result in an infringement on the minimum wall thickness.
4.3.3 Orifice flanges shall be Class 300 minimum. Orifice flanges shall be ordered in pairs and
shall have Socketweld taps. Class 150 utility services, specifications PLC... and PLC..., may use
threaded orifice taps.

full-face gasket shall be used. Full-face gasket material shall be compatible with process stream
and shall be in accordance with Doc. No... requirements.
4.3.5 When mating to cast steel flat-face flanges is required; a raised-face flange shall be used.
The gasket shall be of a type and material that meets the requirements of the piping specification.
4.3.6 Flanges installed in acid/caustic service (as defined in Doc. No...) or other hazardous
material shall be protected with a flange safety shield when a potential for exposure to personnel
and/or equipment exists.
4.4 Branch Connections
4.4.1 ASME B16.9 welding tees shall be used when branch connections are size on size.
Reducing tees shall be used when the branch run is one nominal size less than the header run.
4.4.2 Except where indicated on the individual line classes, integrally reinforced branch
connections shall be used for branch runs NPS 8 and smaller.
4.4.3 Full area replacement shall be used for branch connections above NPS 8. The reinforcing
pad thickness shall equal the header thickness, and the reinforcing pad width shall equal 1/2 the
outside diameter of the branch. The material of the reinforcing pad shall match the material of
the header.
4.4.4 Reserved
