High temperature gas piping systems in refineries and petrochemical complexes incorporate a variety of components in addition to the piping. These components involve a variety of materials other than basic piping materials. Also, the various components frequently operate at temperatures below the process temperature. Nevertheless, system designers frequently write common hydrostatic test pressure specifications for the entire system regardless of these differences in piping and component materials and operating temperatures. Generally, the material used as the basis for this common system hydrostatic test pressure calculation is the piping material. This is the material of largest usage and often the material with the lowest allowable strength at the design temperature. This paper discusses how to improve piping and expansion joint design.
