1.0 INTRODUCTION

2.1 GENERAL
The steam jacketing system consists of:

 The steam supply piping to the jackets

 The individual steam jacket circuits

 The condensate outlet piping to condensate header; steam traps & traps installation.

2.2 TYPES OF JACKETING

Continuous Jacketing

All straight lengths, flanges, fittings, valves and branch connections are fully jacketed.

Discontinuous Jacketing

Only straight lengths of pipes are jacketed. Flanges, tees, elbows, branch connections and welds are not
jacketed.

2.3 IDENTIFICATION
All piping requiring steam jacketing shall be shown on the P&ID and piping drawings indicating continuous
(The steam supply to each jacketed circuit should be taken from the main header or sub headers for jacketing.
The steam header or sub header shall be provided with steam traps.

 The supply line to each circuit shall be provided with a globe valve. Size to be ½” NB for 4” x 3” jackets
and smaller and ¾” NB for 6” x 4” jackets and larger.

 All take offs from the steam header or sub headers shall be taken from the top.

 The valves at the steam supply stations and also the steam traps shall be provided with a name-plate
with the line no. of the pipe being jacketed.

2.6 INDIVIDUAL STEAM JACKET SERVICE

2.6.1 Jacketed Circuits – Construction of pipe sections

a) A steam jacket pipe consists of a process line which passes through the centre of a large
diameter steam line. The nominal sizes of the inner pipe (core) and outer pipe (jacket) in
inches are as given in the table below:

Inner Pipe (Process) Outer Pipe (Jacket)

(In Inches) (In Inches)

¾“ 1½ “
1” 2”
a. Condensate drain lines from each circuit to steam traps to be as short as possible for gravity drainage.

b. The discharge line of the steam trap shall be as short as possible and self draining.

c. Each steam jacket circuit shall be provided with its own trap.

d. Arrangement of condensate manifold is shown in sheet 10 of 19.

e. The steam traps must be installed in the horizontal line.

f. The discharge from a number of steam traps may be combined into a common sub-header which is
connected to main condensate header

3 MATERIAL
All piping materials for process line (inner core) and outer jacket shall be in accordance with material
specifications. Material

NOTE: For cases when the inner core is 150# carbon steel and is being jacketed by MP / HP Steam. Contractor
to check the thickness for the core pipe and shall use the same after getting Pyramid approval. However, in no
case thickness to be decreased less than the thickness of core pipe as per the original specification.

4 FABRICATION AND ERECTION

 Fabrication and erection of piping systems shall be done as per Pyramid specification.

 Each weld of the inner pipe shall be accessible for X-raying and shall be visible during hydro testing.
Therefore, split jackets shall be used to enable inspection of each inner pipe weld.

 Longitudinal welds from the split pipe jackets and split tees or reducers shall be staggered to avoid
cross weld.

 When a jump over or condensate return connection is required in split jacket, first the connection
shall be

 return piping are connected to the jacket.

6 FABRICATION, INSPECTION & TESTING SEQUENCE FOR FULLY JACKETED PIPING

ITEMS
(TYPICAL SEQUENCE FOR JACKETED PIPE SPOOL)

1. Weld one end flange onto inner pipe.

2. Weld guide strips onto inner pipe.

3. Weld wears plates onto inner plate.

4. Slide jacket pipe (minus split collar) over inner pipe.

5. Weld remaining and flange to other end of inner pipe.

6. Perform N.D.E. of inner pipe as per Pyramid specification.

7. Hydro test inner pipe spool.

NOTES:

1. Minimum size of sub-header and the supply line will be 1” for Max. 4 x ¾ “ OR 6 x ½ “ supply lines to
jacket 1½ “ for maximum 6 x ¾ “ OR 8 x ½ “ supply lines to jacket.

2. Supply line to jacket shall be ½“for ¾ “jackets and smaller for ¾ “for 4” x 6” jackets and larger.

NOTE:

If line is ¾ “, use ¾ “x ½ “swage before the trap.
