Dear all,
Following is System description:
Centrifugal Pump system P&ID
Observation:
Case -1 Pump suction line (starting from upstream of DP & strainer ) main isolation valve -Pipe line class same as discharge line.
Case -2 Pump Minimum recirculation line ( Starting from NRV including Flow control valve of Min. Recirc. line - Pipe Line class same as discharge line.
Query:
1) In both above cases ,why it is not considered pipe class same as suction line Pipe class ( lower rating)?
2) In above case no.2- Why Pipe rating has considered upto NRV ? Why not upto FLow control valve upstream?
Your advise / guidance on this subject would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
SPC
