Piping to purged vessels that cannot be disconnected during purging shall be designed with sufficient flexibility to accommodate the thermal displacement of the vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.2. The use of cold spring in piping, which connects to rotating equipment, is prohibited. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.3. If temperature, resulting in short term loading as those stated in Para. 3.2.2.2) is specified in the line list, thermal effect by this temperature shall also be considered in the analysis. However, the reaction loads at equipment shall not be taken from this alternate analysis case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.4.&nbsp;Flexibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1) The required flexibility of the piping shall be achieved by a suitable layout configuration without the need for expansion joints, first. Expansion joints shall be used only where bends, offsets or expansion loops are not deemed feasible. In this case, the stiffness of expansion joint shall be considered in any flexibility analysis. And, the destabilizing effects of unbalanced pressure thrusts shall be accounted for in the piping design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2) Expansion joints shall be used only with adequate guides and anchors and when the fluid plugging properties cannot make the expansion joint ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3) Bellows type expansion joints shall be avoided in services that cooking can occur. If a suitable piping configuration can not be designed to eliminate the joint, connections shall be provided to enable flushing of the area between bellows and liner to be carried out in a non-coking medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4) Torsional rotation of the bellows shall be avoided. This twisting generally produces extremely high shear stresses in the bellows so where torsional rotation cannot be avoided; special hardware shall be used to limit the amount of torsional shear stress in the bellows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5) The maximum, minimum and installation temperatures shall be accurately stated in data sheet to be prepared by the designer. Where the ambient temperature can vary significantly during pipeline construction, pre-positioning of the Expansion Joint at installation may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6) The Expansion joint manufacture shall be advised if the Expansion joint will be insulated and the manner by which the Expansion joint will be insulated in order to properly design the component parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7) The movements to be absorbed by the expansion joint shall include not only piping elongation or contraction, but also movement of attached vessels, anchors, etc. and the possibility of misalignment during installation. Unless included in the design requirements, misalignment of the Expansion joint shall be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8) Where movements are cyclic, the number of cycles expected shall be specified. As in the case of pressure, the movement specified shall be realistic. An excessive safety factor can result in an Expansion joint, which is unnecessarily flexible; thus its stability under pressure is unnecessarily reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9) If the flowing medium can pack or solidify, provisions shall be made to prevent entrapment or solidification of the material in the convolutions, which could result in damage to the Expansion joint or pipe line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10) The predicted amplitude and frequency of external mechanical vibrations to be imposed on the bellows, such as caused by reciprocating or pulsating machinery, shall be specified. A resonant condition in the bellows will result in a grossly reduced fatigue life and shall be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.5.&nbsp;The flexibility analysis shall be in accordance with ASME B31.3 and shall be based upon the total displacement strain imposed upon piping system including the effects of equipment settlement or anchor movement, if applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.6..&nbsp;The computed stress range shall be less than allowable stress range as defined in ASME B31.3 unless otherwise specified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.7.&nbsp;Thermal movements shall be limited to 300mm between anchors and to 100mm at pipe bends or turns. However, greater movements will be considered if the availability of space and the capacity of the anchorage to accept the incremental loads are confirmed.<strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.8. Start-up, shut-down and steam-out where applicable and upset conditions including short-term excursions to higher temperature or pressure as well as normal operating conditions, shall be considered in flexibility analysis. This is particularly pertinent to loads applied to connecting equipment. The effect of vibration from machinery on connecting piping shall also be assessed.<strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.9. Flare system piping shall be designed to take care of expansion, movement or vibration caused by the most severe operating or emergency conditions. Pipe shoes or saddles shall be furnished on the main flare header at all supports.<strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.10. Cold spring shall be used as much as practical to reduce forces on equipment nozzles and to prevent interference from expanding lines.<strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.11.&nbsp;The use of cold spring for piping systems, which connected to rotating equipment, is prohibited.<strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.12.
