13 MECHANICAL WORKS
13.1 GeneraI
This chapter describes the main construction requirements for mechanical works at all stations of
the pipeline systems.
As a general rule the design of the mechanical components, mechanical systems and materials
shall be identical for all Stations, if not specified otherwise.
13.2 Design Criteria for MechanicaI Works
At least the following design criteria documents for mechanical works shall be prepared and
submitted for approval:
a) Pressure Design of Piping and Equipment
This document shall summarize the design criteria regarding the determination of internal
design pressures of all pressure containments such as piping, fittings and equipment including
the determination of hydrostatic test pressures.
b) Piping and Arrangement Design
This document shall summarize the principles to be considered for the design of the piping
and the arrangement of equipment. t shall address topics like safety distances, accessibility,
required distances between installations in piping (e.g. free lengths after control valves,
straight lengths on both sides of flow meters, etc.), support requirements, design criteria for
provision of dismantling joints, expansion joints, drains, vents, safety valves, etc.
c) Corrosion Prevention
This shall include a Contractors detailed strategy for the prevention of all kinds of corrosion
and shall cover all piping and equipment installed into and onto the product water system. t
shall address the principles of material selection and the corrosion control measures to be
taken by the equipment vendors including all internal parts coming in contact with the
conveyed water. The strategy shall also include in detail the philosophy of the materials and
execution of flange connections.
The document shall be prepared or at least endorsed by a corrosion expert or expert
organization which shall be subject to approval by the Employer/Engineer.
13.3 Station Piping
13.3.1 Sizing of Station Piping System
The pipe sizes to be used are indicated in the P&Ds of the transmission system and shall be
considered as minimum requirements.
n general the flow velocities shall not exceed:
2 m/s for pumps taking suction from tanks, for tank drain lines and overflows,
4.5 m/s for main pump discharge pipes,

3.5 m/s for all other station water pipes.
Higher velocities are acceptable at special sections only, such as control valves, flow meters, etc.
The Contractor shall carefully check the suction requirements of the pumps with respect to NPSH
(Net Positive Suction Head) and flow pattern and if necessary lower velocities shall be selected.
For the pressure design of the piping system Contractor shall calculate the highest possible
pressures occurring in the individual piping sections, taking into account all steady and unsteady
state conditions.
The required minimum wall thickness for the station piping shall be calculated using the equation
stated in the design code ASME B 31.4. Because the station piping is internally protected by lining,
no corrosion allowance is required.
After the minimum wall thickness has been determined, the appropriate nominal wall thickness
from standard ASME B 36.10 M shall be selected. The standard manufacturing tolerances shall be
checked to confirm that the tolerance will not reduce the nominal wall thickness below the
minimum required as calculated.
The internal design pressure of equipment as well as for flanges shall be selected in accordance
with the next higher rating in accordance with ASME B. 16.5.
Based on the design temperature of 45 C of water a nd the table of pressure-temperature ratings
given in the standard ASME B16.5 the following pressures have been calculated by doing a linear
interpolation of ratings:

Water 19.4 Class 150
Water 50.4 Class 300
Water 67.4 Class 400
Water 100.8 Class 600
13.3.2 Materials for Station Piping
The design code ASME B 31.4 shows a table for recommended materials used for liquid
transportation systems. The detailed specification of materials used in station piping is given in the
specification M08 Piping Material for Stations, Doc. No. QC10-H-048.
13.3.3 nternal Lining of Station Piping
To avoid internal and external corrosion, the piping and piping components shall be protected.
The internal lining of pipes, fittings, flanges and other piping components shall be done with fusion
bonded epoxy for pipe sizes up to and including 80 (DN 2000).
Epoxy resin lining as required above shall be done according to the specification M20 Fusion
Bonded Epoxy Lining, Doc. No. QC10-H-060.
