Notes:
Where one side of the steel product is austenitic stainless steel and the working temperature is
lower than 425, welding electrodes (welding wires) corresponding with the welded austenitic
stainless steel can be adopted.
For pressure-containing pieces like heat resisting alloy steel pipe and pipe fittings with working
temperature greater than 425, when repairing welding or joint welding is needed, if the
subsequent thermal treatment fails due to the limited condition, it is recommended to adopt
nickel-based electrode.
When argon arc welding is adopted for the precoating, argon arc welding wire a is
identical to electrode 1 and 2; b is identical to electrode 3; d is identical to electrode 3 and
4;d is identical to electrode 5 and 5; e can be matched with electrode 6 and 6 in
application.
Acid electrode inside the bracket is TIG cosmetic welding electrode.

Notes:
Arc welding or flash welding can be used in X20CrMoV121 steel, but weld preheating and
subsequent treatment are required. Preheating temperature shall be determined according to the
wall thickness of steel pipe.
For heavy wall pipe and rigorous welding conditions, the preheating temperature is required to
be 400. After the welding, it needs to be air-cooled to 100~ 150, and then stress relief
annealing or temper is required.

calculated as the equation below:

s cm =

pDo
2 RDo / 2 (C.1.1-1)
t
2[ ] 2Yp 2 RDo

The minimal wall thickness of angle pipe (connector bend) inner arc
equation below:

s im =

shall be calculated as the

pDo
2 RDo / 2 (C.1.1-2)
t
2[ ] 2Yp 2 RDo

Where:
R - Bending radius of the angle pipe ( connector bend), mm;
- reduction coefficient of the allowable stress; For seamless steeltube,

=1.0; According

to related manufacturing technology conditions, if the connector bend of longitudinal


seam welding is proved to be qualified then its value shall be adopted from Table 3.2.1;
P - Design pressure, MPa;
Do - External diameter of the pipe, mm;

[ ] t - Allowable stress of the steel products at design temperature, MPa;


Y - Reduction coefficient of temperature in the equation of calculating the pipe's wall
thickness; for ferrite steel with temperature under 482, Y = 0.4; when the temperature is
510, Y = 0.5; when it is 538 or above, Y = 0.7; for austenitic steel, if the temperature is
566 or below, Y = 0.4; if the temperature is 593, Y = 0.6; if the temperature is 621 or
above, Y = 0.7; Value of Y at medium temperature can be calculated according to interpolation
method;
- Affixed thickness for the consideration of erosion, mm, and the added value for
erosion can adopt 0.5mm; for some pipes with serious erosion, the value shall be properly raised.
Results of the aforesaid two equations are the minimal allowable wall thickness of the inner
side and outer side of angle pipe or connector bend respectively. It does not include the added
value for the loss during the bending process and negative deviation of the bent straight pipe.
C.1.2 Minimal wall thickness of any point of the angle pipe (connector bend) according to actual
measurement shall be no smaller than the calculated wall thickness of the corresponding point, and
the outside thickness shall be no smaller than the minimal allowable wall thickness of the attached
straight pipe sm.
C.2 Calculation of the tapered pipe wall thickness
C.2.1 The minimal wall thickness of tapered pipe (big end) shall be calculated as the equation
below:
152

sm =

pDm2[ ]t 2Yp
[2[ ]t 2 p(1Y )] cos

(C.2.1-1)

Or

2[ ]t 2Yp

(C.2.1-2)

The greater value will be adopted.


Where: Dm - Average diameter of tapered pipe. It shall be the average diameter of the circular
cone, the distance of which from the big end is l. In the practical calculation, the value can
calculated by Dm = Dos , l =

Dm s or l =

l
, and the smaller value between the two shall
2

be adopted, mm;

- Semicone angle, it shall be smaller than 15;


- The added value by considering the corrosive wall thickness. For steel pipe moulded
tapered pipe, in view of the production process, the wall thickness shall be increased to certain
degree, =0 can be adopted; For tapered pipe welded from steel plate or steel pipe, the adoption
value can refer to 3.2.1.

Figure C.2.1 Calculation drawing for the tapered pipe wall thickness
The result from the above equation refers to the minimal allowable wall thickness of the moulded
tapered pipe. It does not include the added value for negative deviation of straight pipe ingot.
C.2.2 reinforcement between the tapered pipe and pipe connection
Due to the local stress between the tapered pipe and pipe connection, local reinforcement is often
required. For the annular transitional area, when the bending radius r0.1D, provided that the
pipe's big end wall thickness can satisfy the equation (C.2.1 - 1) and equation (C.2.1 - 2), the
reinforcement is not necessary. For the small end, provided that it can satisfy the calculation
requirement of pressure-area method within the slash range in Figure C.2.2, reinforcement is not
necessary. Calculation method for pressure-area is as below:

C.9 Selection of control valve


C.9.1 Selection principle of control valve
The control valve shall be selected on the base of media, piping layout, application purpose,
adjustment mode, regulation range and control valve's flow characteristic (equal percentage,
linearity, square root, paracurve, etc.), and can satisfy the requirements on flow, pressure drop and
noise under any condition. In addition, the following conditions shall be considered:
C.9.1.1 After determining the regulating system, the influence of the pipefittings before and after
the control valve to the throttle parameter of control valve shall be considered.
C.9.1.2 As required, the flow coefficient value shall carry out low Reynolds-number correction or
pipe fitting shape correction.
C.9.1.3 The control valve shall control its noise, flashing and cavitation corrosion, which shall be
considered in the design procedure.
C.9.2 Interpretation of control valve-related terms
C.9.2.F flow coefficient
C - It refers to the hourly cubic meter quantity of 5-40 water passing through the control valve
170

under 1kgf/cm2 pressure drop. It is a flow coefficient in the engineering unit system.
Cv - It refers to the US gallon quantity per minute of 60F water passing through the control valve
under 1lb/m2 pressure drop. It is a flow coefficient in the imperial unit system.
Kv - It refers to the hourly cubic meter quantity of 5-40 water passing through the control valve
under 105Pa pressure drop. It is a flow coefficient in the International system of units.
C.9.2.2 Reynolds number coefficient
FR - With the same device, the flow coefficient of the control valve can be respectively measured
under turbulence and non-turbulence conditions, Kv and K v , its ratio Kv/ K v is FR.
C.9.2.3 Flash evaporation
When the liquid flow passing through the control valve, because of the pressure dropping to the
saturated vapor pressure, some bubbles are generated. When the downstream pressure is at or
below the saturated vapor pressure corresponding to the population temperature, the steam bubble
fails to be broken but flow out with the liquid to the control valve. This process is named as flash
evaporation.
C.9.3 Calculation method of control valve
The control valve shall satisfy the adjustment quality, process engineering safety, economy and
stability of the control system. Since the calculation method of control valve is so complicated,
and the important data are derived from testing, so the calculation method of different
manufacturers are not identical essentially. According to the provisions of GB 10869 Control
Valves for Power Station and GB/T4213-1992 Pneumatic Control Valve, the flow coefficient can
adopt Kv, when the control valves are adopted from different manufacturers home and abroad, the
adopted flow coefficient and corresponding calculation shall be satisfied with the requirements of
the manufacturers.

D.1.1 Between two ends of the pipe, there is no limited hanger and support points on the branch,
whether its self-compensation capability can meet the challenge or not can be preliminarily
discriminated according to u and v worked out according to the following formula as well as
Figure D.1.1:

v=nDo/L (D.1.1-2)
Where L - The developed length of the pipe between fixed points, m;
a - Linear distance between fixed points, m;
Do - Outside diameter of pipe, mm;
n - Strength property of pipe,

Where t - Design temperature,;
ter - Design installation temperature,;
Et - Metallic elastic modulus of the pipe under design temperature,kN/mm2;

t - The linear expansion coefficient of the pipe under design temperature, 10 6 / .


When the coordinates (u, v) values can be found out in the Figure D.1.1, once the corresponding
point is located in Zone A, then the pipe can satisfy self-compensation; when the corresponding
point is located in Zone B, refined calculation shall be carried out for determination; when it is
located in Zone C, the pipe cannot satisfy the self-compensation requirements.
If the cross section of a length of pipe is variable, then the converted developed length L' can be
used to replace the actually developed length to determine the developed length of the pipe. If the
big end duct line length can be converted into little end duct line length, it can be calculated
according to the following formula:

r
L = L b

E.2.2.4 General provisions


(1) On the pipe with specific calculation diameter, dp, when a certain pipe fitting or valve of throughflow diameter di is installed, its necessary to convert the
resistance coefficient of the section flow to calculate the resistance coefficient of a diameter, dp:
4

dp
p = 1 (E.2.2-25)
di
where

p - Resistance coefficient of converting into the pipe fittings of calculation diameter;


i - Resistance coefficient of pipe accessories or valves.

(2) The coefficient of local resistance of flow measurement device


The pressure loss of the flow measurement device can be selected from the calculation data of the measurement device, then,the resistance coefficient can be
calculated according to the following formula:

w = p1 / p d1 (E.2.2-26)
Where p1 - Pressure loss of the flow measurement device under the calculated flow rate, Pa;

p d1 - Dynamical pressure under the calculated flow rate, Pa.


When the actual delivery is not compliant to the calculated flow rate, the resistance coefficient of the flow measurement device can be converted according to the
following formula:

w / w = (G / G ) 2 (E.2.2-27)
Where

w , w - Resistance coefficient of the calculated flow rate and actual delivery;


G , G - Calculated flow rate and actual delivery, t/h.

232

When there is lack of the calculation data of the flow measurement device, the pressure loss can be selected from 0.029mpa- 0.049MPa, at this time, the resistance
coefficient can be converted according to the following formula:

w =

p 2
10 6 (E.2.2-28)
pd 2

Where: l - Length of accessory, m;

Ffp - Distributed load, kN;


L - Interval of supporter and hanger, m;

L1 - Interval of neighboring supporter and hanger, m;


q- gravity per unit length of pipe, kN/m;
Q- gravity of accessory, kN;

K fp - coefficient of accessory load distribution, determined according to the following method;


For rack A:

c 2d 2
according to Figure F.2.1-2(F.2.1-3)
L

For rack B:

K fpB = 1K fpA (F.2.1-4)


F.2.2 For the pipe section with pipe reducers, a half of the gross gravity in the interval pipe section shall be distributed to the supporters and hangers on both sides.

Figure F.2.1-1 Horizontal straight pipe


Figure F.2.1-2 Horizontal bent pipe

F.2.3 For horizontal three-way pipe, the calculation of branch pipe is generally made on the base that the T joint section is used as supposed supporting point; the
calculation of the main pipe can use the load of the supposed supporting points of the branch pipes as concentrated load, distributing according to the principles of
F.2.1.
F.2.4 For the normal bend pipe section, the gravity of the horizontal pipe is distributed as: when the horizontal section is relatively long, 50%; relatively short, 100%.

241

F.2.5 according to the previously mentioned methods, the distributed load can be calculated; this distributed load multiplies with 1.4 (load compensation factor) to
generate the structural load.

1) Words denoting a very strict or mandatory requirement:
"Must" is used for affirmation; "must not" for negation.
2) Words denoting a strict requirement under normal conditions:
"Shall" is used for affirmation; "shall not" for negation.
3) Words denoting a permission of as light choice or/and indication of the most suitable choice when conditions permit:
Should "is used for affirmation; should not for negation.
4) May is used to express the option available, sometimes with the conditional permit.
2. "Shall comply with" or "shall meet the requirements of" is used in this code to indicate that it is necessary to comply with the requirements stipulated in other
