ITEM NO. A^l SUBJECT: DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION
The Pipe Department is one of several departments of Puget
Sound Plant whicn come^ under the Jurisdiction of the Assistant Plant
Manager.
The Supervisor-Maintenance is in charge of the planning,
scheduling and execut' on of work *' nvolving all the maintenance depart
ments of the Plant including the Pipe Department.
,
The. foreman of the Pipe Department is in direct charge of the personnel or the department and is responsible for the selection and
assignment of craftsmen and trainees in accordance with the require ments of the daily work schedules. He is also responsible for the follow up of work performance to assure proper application of craft skills and quality workmanship.
The Pipe Foreman directly supervises the work of Pipefitters assigned to the respective units, coordinates the work and cooperates with the various operating departments in accomplishing scheduled work.

SUBJECT: RELATIONSHIP OF DEPARTMENT TO REFINERY OPERATIONS
The purpose of a refinery is to process crude oil ..and convert it into highly refined and saleable petroleum products, as economically and safely as possible, while maintaining high standards of quality which assure continued confidence of the
buying public.
Each operating unit and department is designed, constructed and operated with the objective of providing a continuing supply of quality-controlled petroleum products for a highly competitive market. Maintaining each unit in a safe operable condition requires the knowledge and skills of many people and crafts. New techniques,
materials, tools and methods are constantly being developed which require increasing knowledge, skill and training in order to take
advantage of these developments and remain competitive.
The Pipe Department has an important role in maintaining continuity of refinery operations. The Pipefitter fabricates,
installs, repairs, replaces, tests and maintains various types of pipe work, fittings, valves and operating equipment. The continued safe operation of a unit or related equipment may be dependent on how well the Pipefitter has performed such work as repacking a valve. Installing the correct type and schedule numbered pipe or fitting, tightening up on a vessel head or pipe flange, cleaned and tested shell and tube equipment, and many other similar jobs
requiring skilled craftsmanship and high standards of workmanship.
Since the Pipefitter's work may involve other crafts, or
effect several operating departments, it is essential that he closely coordinate his work and cooperate with others in order to do a safe, workmanlike job. It can thus be seen that the Pipe
Department plays an important part in relation to both the mainte
nance and operation of refinery equipment. As equipment or pro cedures are changed the Pipefitter may find it necessary to adapt himself to the use of new methods, new tools and undergo re-training.
However, the Pipe Department still bears a continuing reaponsiblity
and relationship to operations of the refinery which contribute substantially to the maintenance of the safety, economy and conti nuity of the refinery productive capacity.

1. When you cannot report for work as scheduled, and on time, give your Craft Supervisor or the Night Foreman on duty as much advance notice as possible. If you are unable to call, have
.someone call for you.
2. Requests for time off should be handled with your Craft Super visor as far in advance as possible.
3. When you have been absent for any reason such as sickness, accident, vacation, etc., call your Craft Supervisor as far in advance.as possible before returning to work so he can arrange
schedules and advise you when to report for duty.
4. In case of change of address, notify your Craft Supervisor of new address and telephone number.
5. When you have finished a job, go at once to your next assign ment, if known; otherwise, contact your supervisor. Do not
loiter or loaf between jobs.
6. It is a Pipefitter's responsibility to see that his job pro gresses In a safe working manner, keep his helpers lined up and working, and to know where his helpers are at all times.
7. It- is a Pipefitter's duty to make sure all necessary materials, equipment and tools are transported to his assigned job.
8. Instruct his helpers of proper tool handling and work procedures on the job.
9. Request work permits when required to do a job such as blinding lines or pumps, opening vessels or towers, entering and burning lights in vessels or towers, etc. (Read permits and follow special instruction written on permit.)
10. In an oil refinery, we must eliminate all possible causes of
fire. Smoking is permitted, therefore, only in certain clearly
marked areas and at specified, times. People who cannot observe
this very important safety rule just don't belong in an oil
refinery. For the safety of everyone, this rule is rigidly
enforced.

SUBJECT: DEPARTMENTAL AND PLANT HOUSEKEEPING
DEFINITION: Theterm "housekeeping" is generally used throughout
' the petroleum industry and refers to the continuous maintenance of clean, neat and orderly conditions within a refinery. Lack of good housekeeping practices contributes to safety, fire and health hazards detrimental to all employes. .
RESPONSIBILITY: It is the responsibility of each supervisor and employe in the Pipe Department to maintain the
department and assigned work areas in conformance with Refinery Housekeeping Practices.
PIPE DEPARTMENT PRACTICES: In addition to the general practices ' ~~ applicable to every employe in the
refinerv, there is a number of "Housekeeping Practices" which are
emphasised here and which must be observed by everyone in the Pipe Department.
(1) All roadways, passageways, aisles, stairways, platforms, etc.,
shall be kept free of unnecessary tools, materials and debris. Clean up after every job.
(2) Oil or chemically damaged scaffold decking boards should be promptly removed from service and tagged for destruction in order to prevent re-use.
(3) Any oil or chemical spilled on stairways, platforms, scaffold
decking, walkways and similar areas where persons must work or walk should be cleaned up immediately or sand applied to prevent slips and falls.
(4) Waste material should not Le allowed to accumulate but should be
cleaned up and ar*niie,,7ents mad*- !
it hauled away. Sal-
` vageablfe. materials'shoe'd be neatly piled until they can be
hduled to the Plant salvage area.
(5) Never block access to fire fighting equipment with equipment or materials.
(6) If it is necessary to leave a job before clean up can be completed, advise the Pipe Foreman so arrangements can be made to reschedule clean up. It is the responsibility of every Pipefitter, after completing a job, to leave the work site in a clean, orderly and safe condition unless specifically directed otherwise.

SUBJECT: DEPARTMENTAL LUBRICATION
LOCATION AND STORAGE:
(l) Oils are delivered from the Storehouse in 5 and 55 gallon drums and dispensed through a spigot. Grease is delivered from the Storehouse in 5 pound and 35 pound metal containers. Climax or stick grease is stocked in the Storehouse and may be found in Lube rooms on rv->o-->ifcing units. Pipe Thread Dope, Graphite and thread cutting oil will be found at the Portable Tool Room or at the Storehouse. Teflon tape is provided by Craft Supervisors.
GRADES AND USES:
(1) When operating pneumatic (air) tools, such as Impact Motors, Knocker Motors, Portable Power Saw, Box Pressure Pumps, etc., use Regal C in the oiler.
(2) Graphite is used on bolts, flange faces where composition gaskets
are used, valve stems, and pipe threads.
'
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THREAD DOPE ON DRINKING WATER OR INSTRUMENT AIR PIPING.
(3) Marfax 1 or 2 is used on the drilling bit of the pressure tap
machine.
"
(4) Climax (any grade) is used to hold exchanger head gaskets in position while installing heads.
(5) Use a thick mixture of Universal Gear Lubricant HD 90 and Flake
Graphite on heater bends, biscuits or where you may have extreme heat.
CAUTION: NEVER USE PIPE OR THREAD DOPE ON HEATER BENDS OR BISCUITS, OR WHERE YOU HAVE EXTREME HEAT.
(6) Cutting oil is used with the portable power hack saw, when-cutting threads with stock and die, with the portable pipe machine, and pipe machines in the Pipe Shop.
METHODS OF APPLICATION:
(l) Tail hose with built-in oiler ,are provided when operating pneumatic tools. If ione are available, install an oiler in the air supply which are available at the Portable and Main Tool Rooms.
CAUTION: CHECK THESE OILERS REGULARLY TO SEE THAT THEY ARE FULL AND OPERATING PROPERLY.

'
(2) Lubricators are installed on all air-operated pressure box pumps. Check lubricator before and during operation.
(3) Threads and gasket face should be wire brushed to remove all dirt and grit before applying thread dope.
(4) Marfax 1 or 2 should be applied to drill bit on pressure tap machine to serve as a lubricant during drilling operations.
(5) Before applying climax stick grease to exchanger heads, the gasket seat should be wire brushed and wiped clean with a rag. Any small particles of rust or scale left under a gasket may
cause leaks.
(6) A mixture of graphite and Gear Lubricant should be applied with brush to threads of bolts used in all types of services. When heat comes in contact with this mixture, it burns the oil out leaving the graphite. When heat comes in contact with pipe or
thread dope, it burns the liquid out leaving a hard "inish, making it very difficult to remove nuts.
(7) When cutting threads with a stock and die, use an oil can to . apply cutting oil at regular intervals. This lubricates cutting edge of die helping to cut smooth threads.
(8) Portable and shop pipe machines have built-in cutting oil reservoirs and pumps to lubricate dies while cutting.
(9) One wrap of teflon tape is used on threads of drinking water lines rather than thread dope. If dope is used, it may get into lines a cause a bad taste-in the water. Use one wrap of teflon tape on piping of instrument air. The use of thread dope may cause clogging and damage to instruments.

SUBJECT: CARE, PURPOSE AND USE OF HAND AND PORTABLE POWER TOOLS
CARE OF HAND TOOLS:
(1) Each Pipefitter is assigned a tool box of hand tools, these tools should be kept clean and orderly at all times. If at any time a tool becomes broken or damaged, it should be re
turned to the Main Tool Room. A broken tool slip has to be signed by the Pipefitter before a tool is replaced.
(2) Tools checked out of the Tool Rooms should be cleaned and returned upon completion of job. If tool is broken or damaged notify toolkeeper so tool may be repaired or a replacement tool can be ordered.
PURPOSE AND USE OF HAND TOOLS:
(1) Knowledge of the proper tools to use and how to use them is necessary to good handling of pipe fittings. Wrenches are used on practically every pipe job, and if used improperly can cause serious damage to materials as well as tools and personnel. Be sure to select the right type and right size tool for each piping or maintenance job.
(2) Steam, air, water and pressure hose are also considered as tools
for pipefitters. Hose should be coiled up when not in use and
kept in their designated locations. In some cases, hose may be
permanently left attached at some locations (steam and water).
Hose for air and water are tested to withstand maximum plant air
pressure, and may be used interchangeably. Hose for air and
water are equipped with Chicago couplings and should never be
used for steam or pressure testing service. Steam hose is a
specially constructed, wire-wound hose designed to withstand
both heat and pressure. Pressure hose is designed to withstand
high pressures, and used with pressure pumps when testing lines
or vessels for leaks.
"
CARE OF PORTABLE POWER TOOLS,:
(l) Portable power tools are available for many different types of jobs. These tools must be lubricated at all times when in operation. Never drop or lay these tools in oil or where water can get on them. Impact guns are designed for only so much load, so use the proper size for the size of nut to be broken loose. Use an impact in short bursts from 10 to 15 seconds. Portable
pipe machines should be kept covered at all times when not in use.

(2) All pneumatic portable power tools are equipped with a fine wire mesh filter screen, to filter out small particles of dirt and rust to keep them from entering the mechanism. Before operating, blow out hose with air to clean it.
PURPOSE AND USE OF PORTABLE POWER TOOLS:
(l) Portable power tools can save a Pipefitter a lot of hard manual labor if used properly. They are designed to only carry so much of a load, so select the proper size tool for the Job.
CAUTION: NEVER TRY TO REPAIR A POWER TOOL IN THE FIELD. IF THEY
ARE WORKING IMPROPERLY, SEND TO MIN TOOL ROOM FOR REPAIR
AND INFORM TOOLKEEPER.
.
SAFETY:
(1) Do not use defective tools.
(2) "S" wrenches or light wrenches of any 1,"5nd shall not be struck with a hammer or maul. Only ''striking" tools may be hammered.
(3) The use of two open end wrenches to secure extra leverage by one into the jaws of the other is a dangerous practice and is prohibited.. The extra leverage may cause the wrench to break
or spread and results in an injury. Where more leverage is needed, get the proper type and size of wrench.
(4) When using a wrench, be sure it fits properly and in applying force, push or pull evenly and steadily, otherwise, a sudden jerk or slip may cause inj.ury.
(5) Before using any pneumatic (air) tool, inspect the hose couplings and hose connections to see that.they are safely attached and in good condition. Chicago couplings should be wired.
(6) Chain hoists and chain blocks should never be used to hoist any load greater than its safe working capacity. Inspect carefully before each use to assure it is in good condition. .
(7) Carry and handle tools in such a manner that they are not liable'
to cause injury to yourself or others. Be especially careful
that sharp-edged tools are not carried in the pocket or in a
manner where the arms or other parts of the body may strike the
tool.
'
(8) Tools should not be carried in the hand or loosely in the clothing, while climbing a laduei* ^j. 0 limbing onto a scaffold. Heavy tools must be hoisted or lowered by a line,
(9) The proper tools in good repair shall be used only for the
purposes intended.

(10)
Small tools, when not in use on elevated locations, shall be kept in tool box, and large tools shall be placed in position where there is no danger of their being kicked off or causing a tripping hazard. Upon completion of a job, tools shall be removed from elevated locations. NEVER THROW TOOLS OR MATERIALS PROM ELEVATED LOCATIONS.
(11)
Grinding wheels shall not be operated at speeds greater than their designed rating - check to make sure th.it proper wheel is attached to tool. Examine wheel for cracks - discard wheel if cracked.
(12)
Air or electric driven wire brushes shall be examined before each use to be sure they are in safe operating condition. Wear goggles when using to protect eyes against small flying particles of wire. Pace shields and rubber clothing may also be needed.
(13)
Before using any pneumatic (air) tool that requires lubrication, check to make sure oiler is operating properly and filled. If no oiler is furnished with tool, install an oiler in air supply to the tool. Oilers should be checked and refilled often during working operations.

SUBJECT: LOCATION AND USE OF UTILITIES
USE:
(1) A utility is a form of .energy used to get work done. At Puget Sound Plant, utilities include steam, electric power, service water and compressed air. These utilities amount to approximately 40$ of the total cost to operate the Plant.
(2) A Pipefitter uses these utilities almost every working day. Compressed air is used for pneumatic tools, box pumps and
cleaning tubular equipment. Steam is used to gas free lines, vessels, clean oil spills, unplug lines and in some cases to pressure for system tests on units. Service water is used
for pressuring lines, vessels, system tests, drilling and clean ing tubular equipment. A Pipefitter uses electric power for light to work inside towers, vessels and for operating some
types of portable power equipment.
CAUTION: ALWAYS USE A 32 VOLT LIGHT WITH VAPOR PROOF COVER WHEN WORKING IN TOWERS OR VESSELS.
(3) It is each Pipefitter1s duty to see that utilities are not
wasted.
-
LOCATION:
'
(l) In every operating unit and designated spots throughout the
refinery, utility stations are mounted on stanchions, In most cases, service water, air and steam are mounted together.
Steam lines are insulated to prevent personnel from burning their hands. Water lines are usually 1-1/2" pipe and are
marked with a sign ''Service Water Do Not Drink. ' Air and water lines will have a Chicago fitting attached. Electricity is mounted separately, 440 volt tie-ins are also provided for electric welding machines. Utilities are also mounted in all the working shops. The one used most by Pipefitters is on the North end of the welding shop, used for cleaning tubular equipment.

Note: Sub-classifications under any one item number cover the variation in body material, trim facings, and other features. To identify this material in valves,
reference must be made to the "Valve Specifications Manual" for details.
PURPOSE
(1) .
Valves are most important to the piping system since their use singly or in combination provides the means for control ling flow of fluids in the system. This unit of instruction covers valves most commonly used in refinery piping install ations and the particular purposes for which they are best
suited.
(2) The sole purpose of valves, of whatever type they may be, is to control the flow within the lines. Some of these valves are designed to stop the flow, that is, they should be used fully open or nnmriotely closed. Others are designed
to check or to regulate, and .some are designed to open auto matically when the pressures reach a certain predetermined 'value, thus relieving the pressure in the vessel or line be fore it becomes dangerously high, c. GLOBE VALVE
(1) Globe valves have a single body seat ring which is screwed into a web or seat that is cast into the body. Fluids change direction when flowing through a globe valve. This seating construction increases resistance to, and permits close regulation of, fluid flow.
Note: A simple rule to remember about globe valves flow goes in the bottom and out the top.
(2) The main purpose of a globe valve is to regulate a desired flow of liquid.
(3) Globe valves are used as a bypass valve on regulator systems.
Example: If a regulator is not operating properly, the bypass can be used to manually control the flow while the regulator is being repaired.
(4) Globe valves should be placed in the lines in such position that the pressure will be against the bottom of the disc
when the valve is closed. This relieves the bonnet and the
packing of the working pressure when the valve is in a closed position.

(5) CAUTION; It Is dangerous to repack a globe valve under pressure in hot or corrosive service for the following
reasons:
(a) Foreign matter may become wedged between the flat faces of the disc or body seat. In either case, there will be a pressure against the bonnet, tend" ing to blow the packing out of the stuffing box
when the gland is removed.
d. GATE VALVE
(1) Fluids flow through gate valves in a straight line which offers minimum resistance to flow and reduction of pressure drop, A wedge-shaped disc operated by a hand wheel moves up and do.wn.at right angles to the flow and when In the down position fits snugly against two seat faces to shut off flow.
(2) Gate valves are best suited for services that require infrequent valve operation and where the valve is kept either fully open or fully closed. Ordinarily they are not suitable for throttling service since close regulation of flow is difficult and velocity of flow against a partly opened disc may cause damage to seating surfaces and severe wire-drawing errosive effects in the disc.
CAUTIONs For reasons of safety, these valves should never Be repacked under pressure, either wide open or completely closed.
e. NEEDLE VALVE
'
(1) Needle valves employ the same general construction as do globe valves with the exception of the discs and seats. Normally small, screwed needle valves are used.
(2) The disc and seat of a needle valve have a long gradual taper which permits a very close control of the flow. They are recommended where close control is essential.
f. CHECK VALVES
(D Fluids can flow through check valves in one direction only, preventing back-flow when desired. There are only two basic
types of check valves, the swing check and the lift or ball check.
(2) The swing check type has flow characteristics similar to that of gate valves and is generally used in conjunction with gate valves for this reason
(3) The same applies to the flow characteristics and operating principles of the lift or ball cheek valve as c.x>mpared to globe valves. In lift check valves, flow moves through the body in a changing course as in a globe valve.*

(4) In both types, flow keeps the valve open and reversal of flow or gravity will close them automatically.
g. PLUG VALVES
(1) Lubricated cock type plug valves, using insoluble lubricants to insure ease of operation, tight sealing and resistance to wear and corrosion, are used fo~ many services throughout the plant. They are the most satisfactory valves available for handling of gritty fluids and many other destructive, errosive, and corrosive industrial and chemical solutions.
(2) Since the valve is opened and closed by rotation only, the movable valve member and the seating surfaces are self-
protect.ing and self-cleaning.
h. HAMER VALVES
(1) Hamer valves have an attached figure-8 blind, which acts as the flow stopping element of this valve. When reversing the blind, open valve wheel in a counter-clockwise motion, reverse blind and tighten valve wheel.
(2) This type of valve Is used where a quick removal of or installing of a blind is necessary.
CAUTION; BE SURE BLOCK VALVES ARE CLOSED ON BOTH SIDES OP A HAMER VALVE BEFORE REVERSING THE BLIND.
i. RELIEF VALVES
,
(1) To avoid damaging positive displacement pumps and to prevent the over pressuring of lines, towers, vessels and other equipment, relief valves are provided. These return the flow to a reservoir, to the pump's suction or to the flare line. When the operating pressure equals the valve pressure setting, the relief valve opens and discharges enough flow to hold the pressure at the predetermined level.
(2) Relief valves must be taken out of service at regular inter vals and sent to valve shop to be reset and repaired if necessary. (Removal determined by Inspection Department).
(3) Another type of relief valve is a vacuum breaker. It is used on tanks or vessels where a vacuum could be pulled. In case a vacuum is pulled, these valves open to let In air from the outside.
j. SLIDE VALVES
(1) The mechanism of the slide valves at the FCCU is maintained by the machine department.
(2) These valves are hydraulically operated but can be manually operated in case of emergency.

(3) A Pipefitters job on these valves is to disassemble,
reassemble piping and flanges.
.
(4) The line side of most of these valves is connected with van-stone flanges and requires a corrugated iron gasket. It is necessary at times to crawl up Into the larger lines to make sure the gasket is straight when reinstall ing these valves.
k. HEX VALVES
(l) Hex valves are used mostly on instrument piping. They are very compact, taking very little space to install. Hex valves can be purchased with Pulsation Dampeners built in for use with pressure gauges.

1. IDENTIFICATION OF PIPE AND TUBING (l) Piping -classification is determined by three factors: size, weight (or schedule) and material. (a) Size of piping has to do with the diameter. (fc) Weight is determined fcy wa31 thlckress. (c) Piping is made in a wide variety of materials for an equally wide variety of services. These material range from clay soil pipe through various metals and alloys to plastics and fiberglass.

(2) Pipe sizes -up to and including 12" are known by the inside diarater (i.D.) which is referred to as the "nominal pipe size." Above 12" the pipe size is deter
mined by the outside diamter (O.D.).
(3) The outside diameter of all classes of pipe, regardless . of wall thickness, always remains the same. The added wall thickness is always gained on the inside and therefore reduces the inside diameter of the pipe,
(4) Reference tables vary in classifying pipe. Some refer to wall thickness as being standard, extra heavy, or double extra heavy; while others use schedule numbers such as Sch. #40, Sch. #80, or Sch. #160, Standard pipe up to 10" inclusive, and Sch. #40 pipe have the same dimensions. This is also true of extra heavy and Sch. #80 pipe up to 8" inclusive.
(5) Double extra heavy pipe has no corresponding schedule number. In larger pipe sizes, the schedule number will vary from Sch. #10 to Sch. #160. By using schedule
numbers, a more accurate classification can be given on wall thickness.
(6) In specifying pipe size, it is correct to refer to size as being the nominal pipe size. Wall thickness is referred to as the schedule number,
EXAMPLE: Three-inch pipe with a wall thickness of .216" would be classified as 3" Sch. #40 pipe,
NOTE: Welded fittings are also classified by schedule number and should always correspond with schedule number of pipe being used.
m. PURPOSE AND USE
(l) Piping used in a refinery is purchased in several types of material and various combinations and weights.
(a) Cast Iron - Soil pipe generally used for sewage and similar service. It is usually equipped with some
variation of the bell and spigot end connection.
(b) Carbon Steel - Used primarily for field and unit installations where a low corrosion effect is anticipated.
(c) Alloy Steel (Chrome and Stainless Steel) - Used for
piping installations with a high incidence of corrosion, high pressures and extreme heat.
(d) Galvanized - Used for drinking water and instrument air installation.
(e) Brass - Used for connections on wash basins and some
types of instruments.

(f) Plastic - Used In chlorine and demineralizer service and some water service.
n. TUBING
(1) Tubing is used frequently in pipe Installations where high temperature and pressure are present.
(2) The classification of tubing differs from that of pipe
sizes. Tubing size refers to the outside diameter and wall thickness.
EXAMPLE:
Tubing measuring 3-1/2" outside diameter and having a wall thickness of 1/2" would be classified as 3-l/2" X l/2" tubing. This wall thickness may also be referred to as "gauge."
(3) There are some common sizes of tubing used that correspond with the outside diameter of standard pipe sizes and can be used with pipe fittings.
(4) Listed in the following table is a comparison of tubing size and corresponding pipe size:
Pipe Tubing

o. FLANGES
(l) Many different types of flanges are used in refinery piping and several kinds of materials are used in flanges. Flanges are installed in lines for future construction,
blinding when necessary to steam and repair, installing"new block valves, running jumpovers from one line to anotner, and easy disassembling for maintenance purposes, etc.
(a) Flat Face - Has a gasket seat the entire surface of the flange, used mostly on pumps. May be either iron or steel.
(b) Raised Face - Has a raised gasket face approximately 1/16" above the surface of the flange. This is the
type of flange most commonly used in the refinery.

(c) Ammonia - Ammonia flanges are a type of tongue and groove flange requiring a gasket for seating. These flanges come in three different shapes, oval, square and round. They must he purchased in pairs, one flange having the tongue face, the other having the groove. These flanges have a wide application in high pressure ammonia refrigeration service.
(d) Tongue and Groove - Similar to an ammonia flange.
Gaskets must be used in the seating surface. Must be purchased in pairs, one flange having the tongue face and the other the groove face.
(e) Ring Joint - These are weld flanges and come in many different weights and combinations of materials * Metal rings are used for gaskets and come in two
shapes, an oval ring and an octagonal ring. These Flanges are used in conjunction with high temperature, high pressure and gases. Each flange has an R number stamped on it. This designates the size and type of ring gasket required.
(f) Orifice - These flanges have holes drilled through from the outside to the Inside opening, and tapped for pipe thread. Lines are run from these taps to
instruments. Orifice plates are installed between flange to create a high and low pressure side.
(g) Reducing - These are flanges to reduce from a larger
to a smaller size line. Used for reducing line size,
end lines for clean out or pressure testing and tsking
samples.
(h) Screwed - Screwed flanges are drilled and tapped to pipe sizes. Used in low pressure service.
(i) Weld Hub - Weld hubs are constructed with a short nozzle reduced to pipe sizes and weights. They butt against the end of pipe for welding. Flanges are
available in many weights and types of material.
(j) Slip-On - These flanges are constructed to slip over
the end of pipe, then back-welded Inside and out. These flanges OJ.e also available in many weights and types of material.
Note; It is advised that slip-on flanges be used when welding with pipe plugs.
(k) Van-Stone - Van-Stone flanges are a type of slip-on flange, but have no gasket face. The end of a line has a gasket face installed and the van-stone flange
serves as a tightening agent to bring two gasket faces together.

(h) Corrugated Iron - Has a corrugated appearance on surface of gasket. Made of soft iron and used on lines and equipment with high temperature.
(i) Copper - Used on some types of pumps and compression heads.
(j) Soft Iron - Used on some types of exchanger heads
with high temperature and pressure. Also used as bonnet gaskets on some types of valves.
(k) Rubber - Used on sight glasses for sealing, and also in some types of ammonia flanges.
(l) Teflon - Used as bonnet gaskets on valves in water condensate service.
8. PIPE FITTINGS,, PURPOSE
(l) Pipe fittings are used to join lines from one given point to another in order to control flow of products.
t. TYPES AND USE OF FITTINGS
(1) Unions
(a) Most commonly used union in a refinery is the forged steel ground joint type.
(b) Socket weld unions are used when running steam tracing lines.
(c) Galvanized unions are used on drinking water and instrument air lines.
(d) Orifice unions are used to control or reduce flow.
(2) Orifice Fittings
'
(aj Orifice flanges are used in conjunction with instru ment to control flow of products. Orifice flanges
come in many different weights, sizes* and types of material.
Notej Orifice flanges should always be drilled and tapped to proper size before installing.

(b) The diameter of the center hole in orifice plates is determined by the Power Department.
(3) Screwed Fittings
(a) The Storehouse stocks screwed fittings up to and including 2". Most- weights* sizes and types of material are provided. Larger sizes must be purchased by special order.
(4) Pipe Repair Clamps
(a) Repair clamps are only used as a temporary means of repair for small leaks in lines. Rubber gaskets are provided with pipe clampsj use asbestos gaskets
for temperatures over 215F
(5) Compression Fittings for Small Tubing
(a) Tubing fittings are provided in three types of material* steel, stainless steel and brass for copper tubing. Most fittings used at Puget Sound Plant are provided with ferrules or sleeves.
(b) Most types of tubing fittings are provided in the Storehouse; such as elbows (tubing to tubing or tubing to pipe), adapters (tubing to pipe), unions (tubing to tubing)* tees* plugs and crosses.
Note; When using valves with copper tubing, brass should be.used. (EXPLAIN WHY.)
(6) Tube Turns or Bends
(a) Coil boxes and some heaters are equipped with welded l80 tube turns, these should be equal weight or more as the tube or pipe weight and of the same type of material as the tube or pipe.
(b) Removed l80 bends on heaters are stamped with a
number corresponding with the tube number. These numbers should be installed looking up.
(7) Flanged Sittings
(a) Most of the flanged fittings (excluding valyes) used in this refinery are cast iron (elbows and tees.)
(b) Cast iron fittings are easily broken when not tightened evenly. Always tighten evenly around flange. If one bolt Is pulled up too tight. It may cause a gap on the opposite side and subsequent leak or break in the flange.

(8) Nipples
(a) Nipples from an all thread up to 6" lone: in pipe sizes up to and including 2" are available in Jbhe Storehouse.
(9) Dresser Couplings
(a) These couplings make tight connections on steel, cast iron and other lines. Parts consist of two resilient gaskets, a steel middle ring and two steel follower rings which fit over plain-end pipe and are bolted to gether. Resulting Joints absorb expansion, contraction,
vibration and deflection.
(10) Victaulic Coupling
(a) Serves the same purpose as a dresser coupling. The lines to be Joined have groove cuts in them near the ends to match the gripper parts of the victaulie coupler.
(11) Collars
(a) Pipe couplings are commonly known as collars and are used to Join two lengths of pipe together. Collars are constructed of steel and are provided in pipe sizes up to and including 2".
(12) Machine Bolts and Stud Bolts
. (a) Machine bolts are more economical to buy. These should be used when there is no high temperature or high pressure present. Machine bolts are threaded on one end only, the other end being upset into the form of a head.
(b)
Stud bolts are threaded the full length for nut
assembly on each end. These should be used when
high temperature or high pressure is present. Most
Bills of Material will specify which type of bolt is
to be used.
U. THREAD AND SEAT DOPE
.
(1) Graphite and Oil
(a) A thick mixture of graphite and oil should be used for a lubricant when installing heater bends or .biscuits. It is recommended that this mixture be used for bolts where extreme high temperature is
present.

(2) Thread-"Tex
PAGE 38
(a) Thread-Tex should be used on bolts-and gasket seats with low temperature. Since Garlock gaskets are only
. lubricated on one side; Thread-Tex should be be applied to assure easy removal of gaskets.
(3) Copalfclte
(a) Copaltite is used on gaskets on flange or exchanger - heads when leaks are very difficult to stop.
(*) permatex
(a) Permatex-#1 Is used for forming a hard gasket.
00 Permatex #2 is pliable and will not completely harden. Used for sealing engineer's tape on tray sections in vessels and towers.
(5) Use of Proper Gaskets
. The use of improper gaskets can be very costly if an
operating uni1* has to come down for this reason. Remember
that aluminum gaskets are used for refrigeration service,
metal gaskets are used for high temperature and pressure.
Garlock gaskets are used In low pressure and cool tempera*
ture service.

a. INTRODUCTION; The following material Has been developed
to give the craftsman a working knowledge of- mechanical
and construction drawings., elementary mathematics. Bills of
Material and field sketching-
_
The .craftsman' ir, modern industry, regardless of his trade, must have the ability to study a blueprint or- sketch and visualize the appearance of a finished Job or object as well as the details of its construction- The necessity of taking precise field measurements' and making accurate and legible field sketches is also an Important cart; of the craftsmanis work-
Practically everything that'Is construe
in a refinery
today originates with a drawing or sketch along with a .
Bill of Material.
It Is essential, then, that each person thoroughly under stand every detail of a blueprint or sketch, and it's care and preparation, to easily read and Interpret them.

aSOketchEsT^
(l) Blueprints - what they-are; A blueprint is the reproduction to scale of a drawing which has bc-on
prepared by the engineer or draftsman to provide the work-man with a description of the shape and ri-re of on object, and other details essential to its construe. on,, in mob
a form as to be easily recognizable by anyone familiar with a blueprint- Blueprint Is actually a misnomer, as they may be black ard white, brown and white, or blue and white. At Puget Sound Plant, the prints used are technically not , blueprints. However, blueprint or print is r. commonly accepted term for both types nf reproduction:-.
< - Blueprints are actually the language of modern construction. They provide an excellent means whereby the engineer can transmit his ideas, and explain to the craftsman the details of what he wants accomplished-
The drawings made by an engineer in some other country, or In some other section of this country, or in some 5 nr1 ustry,

other than the petroleum industry., could be followed by any one
of you who Is familiar with prints made by Texaco* Inc,, .'engineers. The only difference might be in the unit of measurement used* such as the metric instead of feet and
Inches, and in the use of certain symbols.
'*
(2) Use in Industry by Craftsmen; A print given a
craftsman should be an accurate working drawing
of an object and should show all the information necessary
for the craftsman to perform the Job in question* It is
essential that the craftsman read every note and symbol
on the blueprint.
The blueprint Is an exact copy of a working drawing on file in the Engineering Department, and by following every note and detail exactly as shown on the print, he is pro tected In case of errors. However, If he checks each ' detail accurately he may find the error and call it to the.
attention of his supervisor and prevent possible improper work. In the case he has followed the blueprint accurately and an error has been made, the craftsman cannot be held responsible for a drafting room error.
(3) Drawing Paper and Sizes; To better understand
prints and their origin, it Is well for the
craftsman to know more about them. The engineer or
draftsman, in undertaking the preparation of plans for the
construction of some object, makes what is known as a
working drawing on thin white paper, or a high grade of
cloth which has.been starched and treated until it is
transparent
.
Paper is used only on temporary drawings or where permanent
records are unnecessary. For example, 3imple sketches of
some minor change In piping. Cloth .is generally used where
it is necessary to make permanent drawings to be retained
for years.
Prints and drawings are usually made in certain standard sizes,. At Texaco, these sizes are normally identified by a' `letter* preceeding the drawing number as well as by actual measurement. A *D* size drawing is 22" x 38", a *C drawing is I7n x 22", a *B! size is 11" x 17" and an *A* drawirg Is 8-1/2" x 'll". Sketches are drawn on 8-1/2" x 11" sheets. These sizes are not compulsory, however, the craftsman must work with whatever size drawing is best suited for a particular Job.
.
(4) Making the Blueprints In making a blueprint the
working drawings^ whether made on paper or cloth, are then used In much the same manner as a negative is used to make a finished photograph.
The blueprint paper regularly used is yellow-green on one side, white on the other. It must be kept in a dark room as bright light will cause it to change color.

. (b) A strong electric arc light or sunlight is focused through the tracing paper,
' (c) The inked or pencilled lines keep the light
from parts of the blueprint paper* which - changes color everywhere except where there '
are markingsor lines on the original drawing,
(d) The blueprint paper.is then immersed in water* which turns the paper blue except where there.are lines* etc. These lines turn white thus-completing the blueprint,
A blueline is mads in a similar manner except that a
different type of reproduction paper is used with an
ammonia solution yielding blue lines* etc, on a white
background,
-
As many copies as needed can be made from the original
working drawing* which is then retained for future use
as additional-prints may be required,
.
(5) Care of Prints by Craftsmen; Although the craftsman's
chief interest fs in using "the blueprint to guide
him as to materials and dimensions* rather than paper* paper-
sizes* and how the prints are .made* knowledge of these things
. help him to understand the JmpcsrLance of taking proper care
of the blueprints in his possession,
There are several things to remember
.
-. - (a) If the print Is rolled* r-e-roll It after use. Do not fold a rolled print,
(b) If the print is folded* fold it Just as it was originally. Do not fold it opposite the original fold or crease,
_
'
(c) Do n6t leave exposed to sunlight xvhen. not in use, or for any great length of time - sunlight will cause fading.
(d) Do not get prints i?et.
.
(e) Do not mark up prints with pencil* ink . or crayon*'unless given permission to
do so, -
From the foregoing it can be seen that blueprints are relativelv exoensive to oroduc-e. therefore- the least that can be expected of each craftsman is that he take considerable care when using these prints.

(6) The Use of Titles and Margins on Drawings
''
_ . .
Identification of a. drawing maites it- .necessary- to
provide some means of showing what it represents,, the' _ .
Company name* initials or names of the persons making the
drawing* checking and tracing the print., date of making., *
issuing or revising* name of object*, materials required*
a number for easy identification* etc,
'
Normally* there are two types of titles used - BLOCK and STRIP, Block titles are used at Texaco and are located inside the right and the.bottom margin lines at the lower right-hand corner of the drawing. (See Figure l)
Strip titles or strips are located at- the bottom of the . drawing and are most often, found on manufacturer's drawings.
MARGIN LINES are placed around the border of the drawing and act as a frame for the object or objects drawn.*- and
provide means for proper spacing,
(7) Alterations or Revisions? Alterations or revisions of drawings must frequently be made due to ndny?
error in the original drawing* changes In. design* dimensions., or for other reasons.
When this is necessary, a reissue of the print is made with the change or changes noted, or, in some instances, the original drawing may be VOIDED and a new blueprint issued under a new date. (See Figure 2)
(8) Use of Scales on Drawings-: In most Instances* -small
objects are drawn full sice by an engineer or
-
draftsman. 'However, some objects are so large that it
presents a problem to-the draftsman, who must reduce the size
to where it can be conveniently drawn on available sizes of
drawing paper. Where the object is extremely small* the
size may be increased in drawing. The reduction or increase
of the drawing size in accurate proportion to the actual
-size is the device used by the draftsman to provide a
readable print and is known as 5drawing to scale*, (fee
Figure 3.)
. The foot is the most common means used as a basis for establishing the .scale to be used in making a drawing.
FULL SIZE is.Shown as 12" = 1* - 0"
HALF SIZE is -shown as 6" =1* 0"
QUARTER SIZE is shown as 3" = 1* - 0"
DOUBLE SIZE is indicated as such 'Or may be shown as
2" = 1"* etc.

Scales of smaller sises are most frequently used In Texaco drawings., as 1/2" = l5-0",, 1/4" = 1 ' -O'' or l/8" = le-0"o Some drawings are draw*'* to no particularscale to speed the draftsman's work &hd so state in the title block,
CAUTION;
THE BLUEPRINT SHOULD NEVER BE MEASURED TO
OBTAIN A SIZE NOT SHOWN OR ONE THAT IS NOT IN
APPARENT AGREEMENT WITH OTHER DETAILS.
CONSULT WITH YOUR FOREMAN OR THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR. THE JOB,
The reasons for this caution ares.
'
'(a) During the preparation of a print, shrinkage and distortion of the paper oncurs, which may cause Inaccuracies if measurements are taken directly from the finished blueprint,
(b) Changes in dimensions are sometimes made on
the blueprint without changing the lines of
the drawing,
(e) A correctly scaled drawing should .show all dimensions, lines, and any special notations necessary to adequately describe the object,
and it should not be necessary for the .craft-
man to scale the drawing, (Unsealed drawings ' or simple sketches may require some measure
ments being taken in the field by the craftsman,)
The ordinary rule, scaled in sixteenths, is all that will be required normally by a crafts man for taking measurements, and the rule can be used for making simple drawings or sketches.
(9.) Identification and Meaning of Lines on a Drawing.; As is obvious. Tines playanTmpoFtarrtr'part 'in the
interpretation of prints and therefore each craftsman should know something about how drawings are made.
The craftsman must learn a new "language". He must first understand that a print is a set of instructions..in a hew language which he must learn to read. Since the alphabet
of this language is in lines, then he must learn.to read lines, (See Figure 4)
The types of lines commonly used can be shown as followss
(a) HEAVY BOLD LINES - used to represent surfaces and edges which can be seen from the side that is being drawn - also known as visible lines, fxr.il lines, solid lines, object lines, visible boundary lines, etc.

PAGE 4&
r*\ (b) EXTREMELY HEAVY LINES - used to differen' ; tiate between existing facilities and new
Installationso This is done by the drafts man so that the craftsman can readily pick out .he
work to be done in an existing system.
(c) DASHED LINES - or "dotted" lines as they are better known* are used to represent Invisible
` surfaces or edges which cannot be seen.
(d) LIGHT SOLID LINES - known as "guide" lines or extension lines* are used to extend the object lines to points away from the object
. to give the draftsman more room to put in dimension lines.
(e) LIGHT SOLID LINES - with a break In the middle for the insertion of dimension figures and
arrows at each end, are known as "dimension" lines and used to indicate distance between two points.
(f) LONG AND SHORT. LINES - alternately spaced* are known as "center" lines and used to locate or denote the center of an object.
' (g) BREAK LINES - are used to indicate that part of an - object has been left out - usually because of space limitations of the paper on which the object is drawn.
(h) HEAVY LINES WITH TWO DOTS AND A LONG DASH - are known as "cutting plane lines" or "section lines'* and are used to Indicate where a certain section of the object is to be taken and drawn in greater detail elsewhere on the blueprint. Usually capital letters of the alphabet are used to identify the particular sections to be drawn in detail elsewhere on the blueprint and for cross
. reference.
(10) Significant Markings on Drawings; In discussing
. the fundamentals of drawings* the many illustra
tions and markings* or symbols* used on drawings by the
.
draftsman cannot be ignored. In order to read and Interpret
- a print correctly, the workman must know the symbols most
commonly used.
Limitation of space prevents the draftsman from inciting out on the drawing all Information necessary to show the kinds ^ of material* thread, finish* measurements* and other detail. 5 Therefore* symbols have been developed for this purpose.

' .(a)- Sectional Drawings; Sometimes the construction
.of an object is so complicated or the size,
shape, etc., are such .that the regular size
drawing will not adequately'show the detail or
. give a complete understanding of the particular
object. When this happens, a sectional '
drawing is made.
"
Sectional drawingsgenerally show a part'
l .. or- section of the object In such a way as to reveal the shape or construction In more understandable detail.-
Figure 5 illustrates a standard flanged
tee such as most refinery workers are
familiar with.
*
The top view shows the tee as normally viewed from the side. -.The exact part which Is to be sectioned is indicated by the 'CUTTING PLANE LINE A-A.
'
The"lower view shows a cross-section view which Is Indicated by slanted lines ' at 45 degrees. This part of the surface Is "cross-hatched".
(b) Cross-Hatching Combinations; In many sectional views, it is pecessary in order to clearly picture an object to slant the cross-hatching In opposite directions. This may be done regardless of whether the material, depicted is the same or a different material. Where there is a-single piece or object depicted, the cross-hatching is always in the same direction. (See.Figure 6)
Some objects, such as bolts, nuts, screws, keys, rivets, oil cups, pipes, pulleys, etc., are seldom cross-hatched when shown in conjunction with a sectional view drawing.
(c) Conventional Breaks s Quite frequently, the
heed' 'arise s'/ duetto the length of the object being drawn or paper size, to depict the object in less than its normal length.
When this is necessary, the draftsman uses a device known as "conventional breaks" which permits shortening the length of the object on the drawing, yet avoids a reduction In scale while aiding in illustrating the object so broken. (See Figure 7)

CAUTION;- REMEMBER, THE DIMENSIONS SHOW
ON THE PARTS OP AN OBJECT WHICH HAS BEEN "BROKEN" ARE THE ACTUAL LENGTHS - ALWAYS.*
(d) Other Symbols and Magicians As has been stressed several times, jie draftsman must use many symbols or abbreviations to express in the least possible space his ideas and the requirements of a particular Job which he must illustrate.
-
Therefore, certain standard conventional
symbols, markings, and abbreviations,
other than those previously discussed,
have been developed.to further simplify
illustration and conserve space,. In
order to clearly interpret a print,
these commonly used standardized markings
and abbreviations should be studied by
the workman. (See pages
through 5Jj
_ Mentioned previously were universal symbols and markings. Later In this material, symbols pertinent to your specific craft will be illustrated.
In addition to symbols, "notes" concerning some facts may be shown on the drawing. Usually in using notes the draftsman prints
the word "NOTE" somewhere near the bottom of the drawing, with the necessary infor mation. To fully interpret a blueprint, the workman Is cautioned to;
/
(1) ALWAYS STUDY THE DRAWING.
(2) TRY TO FORM A MENTAL PICTURE OP THE - OBJECT.
(3) READ EVERY WRITTEN NOTATION ON THE DRAWING.. (Sometimes the bit of Information which is presumably missing will be found as a note in. some conspicuous place.)

(ll) Types of Drawings: The petroleum worker will come In contact with many varieties of drawings, all of
which he should be capable of reading and Interpreting, The most' frequently encountered drawings ares
(a) Flow Diagrams; The primary purpose of flow
diagrams is to convey pertinent information
. regarding material quantities and their
destination with the process. They are also
' intended to act as guides for construction men
and plant engineers in order that the problems
which arise In the erection and operation of
' the plant may be intelligently solved, (See
Figure 8)
.
(b) Plot Plans; This type of drawing gives an accurate picture of the plot or layout of a
unit or system. It shows locations of equipment and buildings within the unit. Plot plans are used to denote the location of new installations relative to existing equipment or structures, (See Figure 9)
(c) Assembly Drawings ; Assembly drawings show an oBjecuwitH~Its par13 assembled and ready to operate. They are carefully drawn with sufficient views to show the location of each part that goes into the makeup of the machine.
Each part is identified by a number giving reference- to another drawing, sketch or note so that the workman can see where the parts go and place them in the proper position. The only dimensions given are those which are necessary to put the object together. Frequently, no assembly dimensions are necessary, - (See Figure 10)
Cd) Schematics; A schematic is a line drawings using conventional symbols, that shows only the connections between parts. It has no scale and Is not related to'the actual ' positioning, in an assembly, of each part. Schematics are used'primarily in electrical and Instrument work, (See Figure 'll)
. (e) Conventional Working Drawings; The interpre' tation of prints depends primarily on the
ability of the Individual to translate a view
or a series of views. The following arc types of projection drawings;
1, Perspective Drawings; A picture of an oF^ec t "s^iFTi?oulanorma lly appear to
anyone looking at it is known as a perspective drawing,

A picture, or perspective drawing, will
give a clear mental picture of an object,
but it will not give exact detailed infor
mation which would enable a workman to make
that object.
It will be noted from the perspective drawing in Figure 12 A that the three dimensions "B" are not equal, although they should be. Neither are the two dimensions "A" equal.- Therefore, a good Image of the object Is seen but It would be difficult to reconstruct the object as sufficient information is not available.
2. Oblique Drawings Oblique drawings are construe ted~^5HxThree axes, representing three mutually perpendicular - edges, upon ' which measurements can be made. Two of
the axes are always at right angles to . each other and both lie in the picture or frontal plane. (See Figure 12B) The third axis makes an angle with the picture plane. Oblique drawings, like perspective drawings, are seldom used
In the petroleum Industry.
3. Three View Drawing? A common type of working
drawing Is the two or three view drawing.
In this type of drawing, the views are
. either plan or .elevation. A plan view
represents what an object would look'
like when looking directly down on top
of it. An elevation view Is what Is
seen when the object is shown'face on,
either from- the front or side. (See
Figure 12 C) Quite often, one or two'
views is sufficient to show the necessary
detail of an object. The arrangement of
views Is critical to the interpretation of
a.three view drawing. The plan view is
always shown directly over the front
elevation on a drawing. A side elevation
Is shown to the left or right 'of the front
elevation,'whichever Is applicable.
_
4. ..Isometric Drawings The most important type of drawing in the petroleum industry today Is the isometric drawing. Three view drawings are sometimes rather complicated, thus this more pictorial type of drawing is used (Sec Figure 12 D),, The isometric drawing originates with three axes, repre
senting three mutually perpendicular edges.

much the same as an oblique drawing.
These three axes form equal angles of
120 and are called isometric axes.
The axes may be arranged in different
ways provided their relative positions
are not changed. Any line of an object
that parallels an isometric axis Is an
isometrie line. Any other line on the
drawing is a non-isometric line. Such
lines will not show In their true
length, as with non-Isometric angles.
Isometric drawings are seldom drawn to
scale since the primary purpose of these
drawings is to show the craftsman what
the object looks like.
.
'
~ (12) Dimensions; The size cf an object, whether.length, - width, height, thickness, depth, diameter, radius,
etc., is indicated on a print by various means.- These measures of the object may be shown in whole numbers, mixed numbers, fractions, and decimals, usually In terms
of feet and inches. Metric measurements are very infre quently used. These measurements are called dimensions.
Angles of degree are also considered as a part of the
dimensions.

The''dimensions of the object are usually shown in relation to the dimension lines. They may appear near the'center of the dimension lines or elsewhere between the dimension ' 1 lines, depending on the space available. The-ends, or terminals, of the dimension lines are shown by arrowpoints.
Dimension values are either given as common fractions,1/^5
3/8", ete, or as decimal fractions, 0.25, 0,375? etc. The -
.common fraction is generally used in dimensioning drawings
in the petroleum industry.
One of the views of an object will usually describe the
shape of some detailed feature better than will the other
view or views. Therefore, dimensions are usually shown
in that view which is characteristic = of what the object
looks like, (See Figure 13),
"
(b) Bill of Material; Every craftsman, in ' order to fully understand a print or drawing, should be familiar with the use of Bills of Material,' The Bill of
Material may be and usually is issued on
sheets separate from the print, or may appear on the print itself.
The Bill of Material is helpful to the craftsman in many ways. Its purpose is to give,`as nearly as possible, necessary details about all the materials to be used on the Job. The arrangement, method of preparation, language and symbols used all are intended to reduce confusion among those who must read, interpret and discuss the Bill of Material even If the discussion takes place at opposite ends of a telephone connection. (See Figure 14),
The Bill of Material shows?
(a) The title, who prepared the Bill of Material, the B of M number and the charge number. (The B of M number is especially -important to the craftsman because in general, each
piece of material is identifiable by this number).
.
-(b) Scope of Work, which includes a.brief description of the Job, list of drawings or sketches neces sary for planning the Job, and the timing of completion in most cases.
(c) The initials of those receiving copies of the Bof M (Always in the upper left-hand corner of the first page).

c. MATHEMATICS REVIEW FOR THE CRAFTSMANS In all crafts ~^ome^^pe~6I;'^iatE^F~uied,'^AietEer^t is the addition
or subtraction of dimensions or the calculation of an angle. Thus, it is necessary that each craftsman be familiar with and have a working knowledge of simple mathematics.
(l) Fractions? A fraction is a numeral with two basic partsj the numerator and the denominator.
In the fraction 3/4, the 3 is the numerator, the 4 is the denominator. Additional terms relating to fractions ares
(a) Equivalent fractions - fractions which represent the same number as S/4^1/2, 8/8=1, or 6/8=3/4=12/16.
(b) Like'fractions - fractions with'similar denominators, such as 3/4 and l/4.
(c) Unlike fractions - fractions with dissimilar denominators, like 2/3 and 3/8.
(d) Common denominator - a denominator which Gan be common to all fractions to be
added or subtracted.
(e)_ Lowest term - the simplest form of a
fraction. Addition of like fractions is
simple. The numerators arc Just added .
together and placed over the common
. denominator, then the result is reduced to
its lowest terms.
EXAMPLES In Figure A the overall dimension
Is required. To obtain this
dimension, the two fractions must
be added..
3/4"+3/4!,=6/4"
,,
Since 4/4=1, then 6/4" = 1-2/4"
2/4=l/2, thus 6/4"=1/2"
Lj, J The overall dimension Is 1-1/2"

PAIS 69
Addition of unlike fractions is wore difficulty
for a common denominator must be found For
example, to add 2/3 and 3/4 the common denominator
is found by multiplying^he denominators together
Thus, 2/3 + 3/4=? can be solved by finding,the
number of 1/12' s in 2/3 and in 3/h aM adding
.
them together; There are 8/l2 in 2/3, or 2/3=8/12
and 3/4=9/12. So, 9/12 4- 8/12=17/12=1=5/12
Very often it is not necessary to multiply the-
denominators' together to find the common dcnomlna=
tor.
If two or more fractions are to be added together, such as 3/4*t-l/8-fl/2=?, a common denominator may already exist as the denominator of one of the fractions. In the example, 8 is a common denomina tor all the fractions to be added as It is
divisible evenly by all of the denominators. Thus, 3/4=6/8, 1/8=1/a, and 2/2=4/8. Now that a common denominator has been found, the fractions can be added. Then the stxm of the fractions is 6/8-M/8P 4/8=11/8. Reduced to lowest terms the solution
becomes 1=3/8.
Subtraction of fractions is done in much the same manner, as a common denominator must be found before subtracting.
EXAMPLE?
In Figure B, a missing dimension is' needed. To find the dimension, one fraction
must be subtracted from the other.
*77 //8R,M! "9/l6l,=? Since 16 is divisible evenly
by both denominators, it is the common denominator.
(2) Another type of numeral denoting a part of
a numbt-r that is less than one is called a decimal.
Examples of decimals ares
" 2 .. =* two tenths
.13 = thirteen hundredths
' .469 = four hundred sixty~nine
thousandths
A fraction may be converted to a decimal by dividing the
numerator .by the denominator, as l/2=5. Then .5 lo the same
as l/2.
.
Decimals are added and subtracted the same as vrhole numbers.
The only precaution to be taken is to keep the decimal point's
aligned.

(3) Solving Eight Triangles with Square Roots The following formulas are given to find the length of any side of
a right triangle when the other two sides are known. A righttriangle, by definition* is any triangSe that contains a 90 angle. (See Figure C)

. 'C
The symbol \/
indicates that the square root of the quantity
within the symbol must be found. The small 2 at the upper right
of the letters in the formulas means that the lengths represented
by the letters must be multiplied by themselves. This process of
multiplying a number by itself is called "squaring1 the number.
EXAMPLE?' Find the length B! when A15n and C=2d',

Squares and.square roots of whole numbers from 1 to 100 are
found in a table on pages 167-169 of The Pipefitter"s and
Pipe Welder's Handbook, by T. W,, Frankland.
All piping offsets, are based on right triangles. With only two dimensions* the third may be found, (See Figure D).
(4) Calculating an Angles In computing piping offsets, the pipefitter wifi"use'"'the six trigonometric functions of
the angle of fitting. This calculation also makes use of the right triangle, (See Figure E)

do Additional Print Information fog the Pipefitters * The pipefitter will come^IH^oiniac'S^witnvarious types
of pipe drawings* Pipe is used in many places and for many purposes in construction work. It Is used primarily for the transportation of liquids and gases in the petroleum industry.
' (l) Two View Piping Drawings? One or two views is all that is necessary to show most piping drawings,, however,
three views are sometimes used. This type of piping drawing is used very seldom used because it can be complicated.!. (See ,% Figure 15)
(S) Isometric Piping Drawings; So that a piping drawling may be be fctert^ced~and understood, the isometric
type of projection Is preferred.
In a refinery, the greater part of piping work is the addition
to or changing of lines already in service. In this case.
Isometric drawings are made of the existing piping systems
with additions'or changes shown in very heavy lines and noted
on the drawing. As mentioned before, this type drawing is
seldom drawn to scale, their purpose being to enable the
pipefitter to form a mental picture of the completed system.
CSee Figure 16) NOTE? Figure 15 and Figure 16 are of the same
assembly.
,
(3) One Line and Two Line Drawings? Piping drawings using
"the two~iIne system"re sembTethe actual pipe Job moro
closely than the one line drawings. (See Figure 17A). One
line drawings are the easiest and fastest to prepare, and
for these reasons are used most often by Texaco, Inc. (See
Figure 17B)
,
'
(4) Symbols and Conventions % Anyone who has Installed pipefifttings and valvesTknows that they are complicated
pieces of mechanism. It will be readily seen that it is a waste of time for a draftsman to make complicated a working drawing of every gate valve to be installed in the field. The draftsman kndWs that a gate valve is and so does a fitter, so . a note on a print Is all that is necessary to convoy the Information. This applies to other types of valves and pipe fittings used In the field. In order to simplify the kraftsman* s work, symbols for fitting and valves have been
agreed upon and accepted by engineers and draftsmen.

(5) Piping Details; Used primarily in the pipe and-weld ' ^aopsVlplPlSg"detail drawings show how sections`of piping should be fabricated. Often the detail drawings or spools are issued along with an assembly drawing (See Figure 19"24). The notations on the assembly drawing refer to the Individual spool drawings.
- (6) Dimensionings The dimensions on a piping drawing are
principally location dimensions most of which are
made to center lines, both in double and single line represents~
tions. Flanged connections are dimensioned to the face of the
Flange. Common dimensioning is then from center to center,
'
face to face, center to face, end to end, center to end or
face to end iSee Figures 19"24 for examples of types of
dimensioning.)

SUBJECT:. MEASURING AND LAYOUT METHODS AND TOOLS
' a* ' MEASURING:
_
(1). Principles of piping measurement, like piping
' " - prints> may at first glance seem somewhat complicated
when a number of lines are involved. However, when the job
is taken a section at- a time, it will be found that developing
measurements are relatively simple.
'
(2) The greater majority of piping jobs In a refinery will normally be replacement or addition to existing lines*
b REFERENCE POINTS:--
(1) In order to make accurate piping measurements. It is necessary to know and accurately locate the points
from which measurements are taken. These are known as reference points.
(2) Reference points may be center lines, flange faces, vessel walls or stanchions*
c. LAYOUT METHODS AND TOOLS'?
... Cl). Top and side center lines may be easily located
with a carpenter's square and level as shown in
the following Figure 1.
The Inside angle of the square .Is placed against .the pipe and --the top leg levelled. One point on the center is located under
the scale at a distance from the Inside angle of the square, . equal to l/2 the outside diameter (OD) of vhe pipe*

' Repeating'the" process at another section of'the pipe will
locate a" second pointy and a line connecting "the 'two points
will be the "top"center line* Applying the same method to -
the vortical'leg of the square will locate the quarter point
center lines.
*.
Bottom center lines may be easily located by dropping a
plumb line from the top center points* and making the
points of intersection on the bottom of the pipe* shown
in following Figure 2t
(2) The measurement"between two lines with different ` elevations can be found with a straight edge and level as shown in following-drawing. (Figure 3)
Place a straight'edge' on the top of the high olevatloh
and across the top of the low elevation.
Level the top -of straight edge.
.
Take a measurement at point "A*** from top of low elevation
to bottom of straight edge.
.
" Point "A" is the same measurement as point "B". Giving you
the center to center elevation difference between the two
lines.

(3) In determining the Angle of intersection, where
the angle of intersection is unknown, it must
of course'be determined"before proceeding with the measure
ment and layout of the job.
The angle of intersection may be determined by stretching
chalk lines In the position so that the center lines of the proposed piping job will be located. Use a protractor to measure the angle of Intersection directly. See following drawing (Figure 4) %I

.For'a 45 degree angle, bend the'rule at the
first and second Joints, setting the end oh 22 and 31/32 Inches as Indicated in Table above. The desired angle wi$.X be formed as shown in following drawing.'(Figure 5)
(5) When necessary to layout to cut odd-angle
elbows, reference should be made to the
tables shown in the rtPipeFitters and Pipe Welder's
Handbook" on pages 31, 32, 33 and 34.
-
(6) Patented bending machines are available and are-used to a great advantage, especially
for bending small pipe sizes. -
.
These bending machines are mechanically operated by
leverage.
.
. Accurate bends can be obtained with the machine and either hot or cold bending methods may be.used.
The machine has a separate form for each radius bend.
, \The pipe is forced around this form by a bending shoe,
which fibs the outside radius of the bend. This helps
to prevent the pipe from flattening.
''
The bending process is one involving skills that musf'be
learned in actual practice on the Job. For example, when
a bend is cooling, it has a tendency to straighten, and
therefore must be bent to an arc slightly greater than, that
of the template.
.
It is recommended when bending small pipe that a wire
template be made of the degree of bend to be made to use for reference.

(1) The hacksaw is to be used to cut 1/4" to 6" pipe, flat bar, roll and angle stock. The hacksaw can be set to cut 90> 45, and 22| angles,. Be sure to use oiler.
(2) The pipe machine is used to thread
to 2" pipe. The pipe
dies have to be set to the size pipe you have to thread. A
sample thread should be run to be sure dies are set right.
Be sure to use oiler.
(3) The power grinder is to be used to sharpen tools, bevel pipe, flat bar, etq. and clean up material. Wear goggles at all times. Use iront, not side, of grinder,
(4) The iron worker is used to punch holes, cut flat bar, angle and round stock. Read instructions on machine for maximum capacity.
B. CARE
(1) The hacksaw is to have.a sharp blade in it in order to get a straight and .clean cut. Check to be sure oil level in tank is okay, if not, use soluble oil C and mix 30-1 and put into tank. Keep area clean.
(2) The pipe machine is to have dies cleaned before each use. Check dies to be sure none are broken or chipped. Be sure oil level is okay, if not, use cutting oil Sultex-340. Area is to be kept clean at all times.
(3) The power grinder is to be kept round by a wheel dresser kept at the machine. Check for cracks or chips. Keep area clean.

a. FIELD MEASUREMENTS
{D This unit: of Instruction will be devoted to the
illustration of various reference points from which
measurements are taken.
.
(2) As seen In Figure X, the measurement "M" is taken from center to center., ar.d will give the proper
information in calculating cuts for .any connections between the two lines. The same measurement- can be obtained at *'0" without locating center lines.
(3) In Figure 2, a connection is to be made between the two lines illustrated. The measurement nM"
is a Face to Center measurement. 11C" is a center to center measurement^ but allowances would have to be made for the weld neck flange and welded ell already in place.

These 4 Illustrations show the basic measurements
used:

^ '
.
b. FITTING ALLOWANCES '
.
'
(1) In calculating cuts for piping installations, it '
is of course necessary to deduct from field
measurements the space that will be taken up by the fittings
to be installed.
'
(2) Manufacturers of pipefittings have standardized dimensions on all types, classes and weights of
welded fittings. For example, all welded ells of the
same classification and size are made to uniform dimensions. See chart "Dimensions of Valves and Fittings."
(a) Using the fitting dimensions table, determine the fittings needed, and the cuts of pipe
needed to install the job shown in'Figure 5* Installing 6'300# Steel Gatevalve. Center to Center measurement "M" between the existing lines is 78 inches.
(b) It would be difficult to remember all
dimensions of all sizes and types of fittings, so hand books and manuals are provided with tables of dimensions, i.e. (Pipe Fitters Manual-Tube-Turn, Welding Fittings and Flanges). (The Pipe Fitter's and Pipe Welder's Handbook).

c. JOB PLANNING?
(1) Before measuring or laying out a pipe job* you ' should pick a route for theTIhew line* Be sure you have a clear path from starting point tp finish point. Avoid running lines that will cause stumbling hazards such as* too low across aisleurays* across ladders and cat walks. Also leave head room for over-head valves
and lines. .
(2) It Is important that field measurements be
recorded In a manner that may be easily under
stood in figuring cuts to assemble the job. A simple
field sketch will serve the purpose* making sure that
all dimensions are recorded* size and schedule of pipe*
size and weight of valves and fittings.
"
.(3) Compile a list of equipment and material needed for the job before ordering.
(4) Lines-or vessels must be-gas freed before making a new tie-in on existing equipment. Obtain a .
safety work permit from operations to blind and steam.
(5) When welding is to be done* all sewers and drains must be covered in the immediate -area to prevent
escaping gas fumes from flashing during welding operation.
(6) After steaming is completed a Hot Work permit must be obtained from operations. A gas test
must be taken, and Gas Tester must O.K. and sign the permit before the equipment can be cut into with a cutting torch or pipe cutters.
'
CAUTION; READ PERMIT AND MAKE,SURE ALL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS OR SPECIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED AS
LISTED ON THE PERMIT ARE .FOLLOWED.
-
(7) In some cases when a line cannot be gas freed* a Hot Work Permit can be issued to cold cut. In
order to weld on this line* a welding plug or pipe plug must be .inserted into the line. Run a hose from the pipe plug connection a safe distance away from the area of welding. Gas test then must be taken around the pipe plug to be sure no gas fumes are escaping.
CAUTIONS IT IS ADVISABLE THAT SLIP-ON-WELD FLANGES
ONLY USED ON THIS .TYPE OF JOB. ONE TO THE INSIDE WELD BEAD ON HIGH HUB WELD FLANGES PIPE PLUGS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO EXTRACT FROM LINES.
d. JOB PLANNING-WORKING FROM BILLS OF MATERIAL AND PRINTS s

or start a Job. Some Items will have a storehouse order number, check to see If material has been
received or when It Is expected to be received. y
(2) In most cases, a print is provided with the
Bill of Material.. Read every detail on this
print, trace the lines out from starting point to
finish point to insure a clear layout path.
.
(3) After completing Job, return all tools, equipment and excess material to Its proper
storage area. Clean up the Job and leave it in a
safe working condition

*
(l) In Figure 6, showing a screwed fitting, "F"
represents the fitting dimension and "M" the
measurement.
(2) To determine take-off "T", subtract "L" (thread make-up) from "Fn. - The cut length
11C" Is determined by subtracting "TM from "M".
(3) This principle applies to installation of all screwed fittings.

(2) Pipe to be threaded should be cut square. Pipe ' threaded without a square end causes poor penetration-
[.into screwed fittings.
' (3) The stock has a built-in lever for reverse and forward.
-.(4); Threads are cut in a 'clockwise motion.
, b. CUTTING THREADS
(l) . Place dies on end of pipe to be threaded. Apply ` . ' pressure with heal of hand on the end of dies while moving the stock in a clockwise motion. This helps dies to ..begin cutting the thread.
(2) Apply cutting oil often to dies while cutting. This , . serves as a lubricant and helps to cut a smooth uniform thread. "Cut threads to desired length,' reverse lever and
..turn stock in a counter-clockwise motion to remove dies from pipe. "Threads are tapered to assure a tight fit into a fitting. (Avoid over threading,- this can cause threads to penetrate., too far into a fitting and not complete a leak proof seal.)
' NOTE:.It is recommended that a fitting be screwed on
:the first thread cut to be sure the dies are in
adjustment.
"
CAUTION: Brass pipe is very soft, the end being ' ' threaded may easily be egg shaped. It is
recommended that a spud wrench he inserted through the dies into the end of the pipe.

Each set of dies has a 'threaded nipple built into it to run the dies in and out, : One .'end of this nipple has 3- set screws, or bolts to grip
\. onto the pipe to hold the dies in position while threading. The cutting dies are 'attached to the other end of this ' nipple. Dies should be unscrewed off the nipple far enough ; to cut the thread.' Measuring the exposed threads determines
'.the length of travel of.the dies.
d . CUTTING THREADS
(l) Figure the length of thread to be cut.
,,{2} ' Back',the dies-off the nipple far enough to allow dies ' ' enough travel to cut the proper length of thread.
{3)' Place the dies on the pipe, set screw end first, with ` the dies against the end of the pipe. Tighten the set screws, making sure of equal 'distance between the pipe and nipple holding the set screws.
NOTE: It is very important that dies be square on , v , pipe before threading. If set screws are
' tightened without equal spacing between the : pipe and nipple, it will cause the dies to ' cut deep threads on one side of the pipe and
shallow threads on the opposite side. This ' weakens the strength of the metal and may . cause the threads to leak.
(4) Cut threads by turning dies In a clockwise motion. . Always cut the first two or three threads with a ratchet handle, before attaching air motor. Always use thread cutting oil when cutting threads. Thread oil is available at the Portable and Main Tool Rooms,,

A. " ^%1%R TOOLS .
(1) Be sure that you have the right tool for the job, That
includes the right drill, tap, saw blade,.etc. Also be
sure to have the right tool capacity for the job. When
you-have these right you will work more efficiently and
do a safer job.
'
(2) All power tools shall be returned to the proper tool room after the job is completed and the tool has been properly
cleaned.
B. PNEUMATIC TOOLS
(1) Before hooking up any pneumatic toqlj, the air hose to be used should be blown out to remove all dirt, rust and water.
(2) An Oiler should be installed in the line to insure proper lubrication. Pig tail hoses are provided at the Portable and Main Tool Rooms with attached lubricators for most pneumatic tools. Larger lubricators are available on the Khoeker wagon when using Knocker motors. These lubricators should be cheeked and refilled several times each shift while being used.
Note; When using a power hack saw, use cutting oil on the saw blade.
(3) Pneumatic sump pumps should be suspended a few inches from the bottom of ditches and holes when jumping out liquid. This keeps dirt from being sucked into motor.
C. ELECTRIC TOOLS
(1) The Electrically Controlled Tube Rollers has a ground wire
attached to it and must be connected to the equipment being worked on.
(2) Electric drill motors have a three wire system built in, one being the ground wire.
(3) Electric reeepticles are located throughout operating units to hook up power tools. Extension cords are provided and may be found on electric storage pallets.

CUT GASKETS
a. GASKET CUTTER
A manually operated gasket cutter is mounted on a work ` : ' bench at the east end of the pipe shop. Sheet gaskets . ' material in thicknesses of l/l6" and 1/8" Is provided at ` / this location. The storehouse stocks gasket material if
none Is available In the pipe shop. A measuring slide bar . is installed on the gasket cutter with a screw down guide ..'to hold the gasket, material In position at the measurement
required. A 1/4" x 2" round peg is located on the end of ' -the measuring bar with a hold down nut on top. This holds
gasket material on measuring--bar. The cutting blade works :; oh an up and down lever. A handle is attached to cutting
blade. This serves not only to cut the material, but to -turn the gasket material into the cutting blade.
b. HOLE CUTTER
A hole cutter is provided with the gasket cutting machine. A sleeve on the cutter rod has an up and
down sliding motion. Two stops on the cutting rod about 12" apart stop the sleeve on the up and down motion. The . sleeve and bottom stop serves as a hammer when cutting a hole. Place the gasket material on the block of lead . . provided for cutting,. Holes may be cut by placing the "cutter rod on the gasket material and bringing the sleeve down against the bottom stop sharply.
o. CUTTING GASKET '

a. CARE OF HAND TOOLS
(l) Knowledge of the proper tools to use and how :;o use
them Is necessary to good handling of pipe ?nc,
' fittings. Select the right type and right size tool 'for
each piping Job,. .
.
t `
, (2) Wrenches are used on practically every piping job., ` and if used Improperly can cause serf ans damage to materials and' topis. They also cause accidents,
(3) Tools should be kept clean and stored in an orderly
'-
fashion in a pipe fitters tool box.
. (4) Tools should be regularly Inspected for worn or . damaged parts, and replacements made as necessary.
' (5) When tools are lost, a lost tool slip must be filled out by the pipefitter and signed by his Craft
Supervisor before the tool will be replaced by the Main Tool
Room. A broken or damaged tool slip must be filled out and signed by the pipefitter for replacement of such tools.
b. -USE OP HAND TOOLS
. CD The pips wrench is designed for use on pipe and
A. screwed end fittings. Due to design of the-wrench, the jaws have a squeezing action. If sufficient pull is applied, this squeezing action does severe damage to valve bodies, particularly the softer alloys such as brass.
. . Note: Never use a pipe wrench as a hammer.
(2) Strap wrenchs are designed for use on polished or ; plated surfaces to prevent marring. They are also useful in close places that won't accomodate a pipe wrench.
(3) Pipe tongs are of the chain type or scissor type, - and are generally used for large pipe diameters.
w Open or box end wrenches and socket wrenches are
necessary when tightening flange bolts. It is importantto use the right sise wrench sinee slippage is '
dangerous to personnel and damaging to material. When
possible, use a box end wrench for tightening bolts and the
open end for a back up.
`
Note: Never pull on a wrench directly toward your . ' face. If the wrench slips, it could cause
,'
serous injury.

{5) There are two types of'common vises ,, The pip.: vise Is
"'' tised to hold pipe only. The combination vise may be
ubed for other purposes. Valves or fittings should never be
placed In the vise to make up a joint. There is too much
danger 'of", distorting the fittings or forcing valve parts out
of workingalignment.
.. , . -t-Note;- Always open a valve part way before screwing
/v !
it on a pipe joint. If a nipple or' jc-int of
pipe"is screwed too far Into a valve* damage
is done to the paddle seat. If the 'valve is
in the closed position* this would locit the
... . .
valve closed.
Always place the pipe in the vise* then make up the fitting.
Place the wrench on the end of the fitting next to the joint
being'made up. " This lessens'possibility of distorting the
fitting and gives better leverage.

SUBJECT: TIE KNOTS AND HITCHES
There are many different knot3 and hitches that a Pipefitter should know in order to do a particular job most effectively and safely. Following are several illustrated examples with instructions on the proper way to tie the various knots and hitches that are most commonly used in
Pipefitters work.
USEFUL KNOTS
AND HOW TO TIE THEM
IN KNOTTING--A Rope Has 3 Parts
1. THE END is the end of the rope
with which you are working when
you tie a knot. 2. THE STANDING PART is the inac-.
tive length of the rope.
-
3.. THE BIGHT is the central part of
Ystjmdins
the rope between the working end
and the standing part. ,
AN OVERHAND LOOP is. made by
crossing the end over the standing part.
AN UNDERHAND LOOP is made by
crossing the end under the standing
part.
-
A TURN is taken by looping the rope
i around an object--often another see-
Jjw tion of itself.
* A ROUND TURN is taken by looping
the rope twice around an object, as
C J shown.
"OVER-AND-UNDER" SEQUENCE. In
tying a knot, whenever two sections of
xffh the rope cross each other, one must go
over and the .other, under. Be careful
. to follow this "over-and-under" ar
^*1uw rangement exactly--otherwise you get
either an entirely different knot or no
knot at alL
"DRAWING UP" Once formed, a knot
must be "drawn up" or tightened, '
slowly end evenly to make sure that all
sections of the knot arrangement keep
their place and their shape. Quick or
careless tightening may result in a
useless tangle
AND--YOU'LL FIND IT HELPS TO NOTE HOW
ROPE IS CONSTRUCTED
STANDARD ROPE has three strands.
A strand is made of-a number of yarns
twisted together.
THE LAY of a rope is the direction in
which the strands are twisted. Most
3 STBflNO
HlGHT tAia
rope is "right-laid" -- the strands spiraling upward to the right--when
you hold it vertically.
WHIPPING
KEEPS ROPE ENDS FROM UNRAVELLING
A
A good rope deserves good care. One way to keep
your rope in good condition is to "whip" or bind the
ends to prevent unravelling. In Splicing the sep
arate strangs of the rope are also whipped for the
same reason.
To make the whipping, a fine yarn, marline or spun-
yarn, Is generally used. The ordinary whipping is
made by placing the end of the yarn at the end of
the rope and then laying a.loop along the rope. You
then wind the yarn tightly around both loop 'arid
rope, thus binding them together. Wind to a dis-
tance roughly equal to the diameter of the rope you
are whipping.
..
The whipping is finished by putting the winding
end B through the loop--then pulling end A tight,
until the loop is drawn back out of sight Both ends
are then cut short to make a neat finish. `

unSTOPPHt KNOTS
to keep hope ends from slipping
THROUGH AN OPENING
End or Stopper Knots are generally tied to keep a rope end from slipping out of a hole or a pulley-- also to stop a rope end from sliding through the loop of another knot and thus untying. Stopper Knots are often used to keep the ends of cord or twine from fraying.
thk OVERHAND KNOT
This is the simplest and smallest of all knot forms and the beginning of many more difficult ones. In general, use it only on small cord and twine, since it jams and is hard to untie, often injuring the fiber. To Tie: Make an overhand loop. Pass the end under and up through the loop. Draw up tight.
the FIGURE EIGHT knot
This is much easier to untie than the Overhand Knot--is larger, stronger and does not injure rope fibers. It is the best knot to use to-keep the end of a rope or "fall" from running out of a tackle or pulley. To Tie: Make an underhand loop. Bring the end around and over the standing part. Pass the end under, and then up through the loop. Draw up tight
use BINDING KNOTS
TO TIE ONE OR MORE OBJECTS SNUGLY TOGETHER
E
THE SQUARE or reefknot
Used at sea in reefing and furling sails--ashore as the universal pack age knot for parcels and bundles. Though often used, it is a danger ous knot for tying two ropes to gether, since it unties easily when either free end is jerked. To Tie; Pass the left end over and under the right end. Curve what is now the left end towards the right. Cross what is now the right end over and under the left Draw up tight.
DON'T TIB THE WEAK GRANNY KNOT
Remember that the Square Knot pre sents -two ends lying together under one loop and over' the opposite loop --while the Granny presents, one end under and one over on both loops. Watch out for the Thief Knot, too. This has the two loose ends coming out of opposite sides -- instead of from the same side as in the true Square Knot.
the SURGEON'S KNOT
Often used for twine--chiefly to keep the first tie from slipping before the knot is completed. To Tie: With one end, take three turns about the other end. Bring both ends up. Pass one end over and under the other end. Draw up tight.

v LOOP KNOTS H
TO HOtO TO AN OBJECT WHEN SECURITY
... .. COMES FIRST
..
A loop knot; like a Hitch, fastens a rope to another .
. object But usually, the loop Knot is first tied in
' the hand and then placed over the object--while the
Hitch is tied directly around the object In general,
the loop Knot is a more secure and permanent type
' of knot than the Hitch, because properly tied and
. drawn' tight, it will not slip. Also, since it does not
lose its shape, the same knot may be used many,
times over.

plete the knot. Used to lift an injured man. like the Bowline on Bight, above--or to sling a ladder as shown.
This is a simple, convenient Hitch which does not jam, and come undone readily when the pull ceases. It is used, mainly to tow or hoist cylindrical objects, such as logs, spars, etc., also in handling cargo, to hoist small crates and bales. It is used with one or more Halt Hitches made with the standing parts, for towing a spar or hoisting a timber on end. To Tie: Pass a rope around the object and take aturn with the end around the standing part. Then, as shown in the diagram, twist or turn the end back on itself. Three turns back are sufficient and they should follow the lay of the rope.

RIGGING
:
Rigging is a v^ry important Job and extreme care must be taken in doing the job. The right size choker with enough capacity .to do the Job must be used. Never put choker around an "I" beam, angle or-channel without a wooden block between choker and sharp
edge.
Check choker and cable capacity and methods for rigging as illustrated here or in rigging book in pipe library.
HOISTING
.
Du allowance must be mad for all variations and unusual conditions of operation of the particular sling application. As in all wire rope practice,, the handling of the load shopld provide .a slow smooth start with no Jerksj, and the rate of acceleration anddeceleration must be within reasonable limits.
All slack in the sling should be carefully taken up before
beginning the lift, as slack taken up suddenly will affect the sling
much as a bundle wrapper snaps twine, fuch damage is done to slings
by carelessly attaching over rough or sharp corners. Therefore,
suitable blocking should be used.

Measurement for Lengths of Rope with Fittings on the Ends
There are .many requirements for' slings with, de
mand for innumerable designs, but a very large pro
portion of sling use can be adapted to use some
more ,or less standard types. A separate pamphlet
showing numerous designs covers this specialty
more fully. Factors of safety may run from 4 for
some special cases to 8 or more -- usually averag
ing 5Yz.
First consideration, however, must be given to the
angle at which the slings depend the load from the
lifting hook.
The sketches below show how sling stresses in
crease with shortening the distance between the load
and hook, the load lifted in each ease being tho
same.

Safway equipment is designed and Constructed with the utmost consideration for safety. However the high degree of safety constructed into the equipment cannot offset carelessness on the part of the erector Or workman. With this thought in mind the manufacturer call? attention to the following rules and regulations which should be strictly adhered to.
1. Provide sufficient sills or under-pinning in addition to standard base plates and all scaffolds to be erected on filled or otherwise soft ground.
' 2. Compensate, for unevenness of ground .by .using ad justing screws rather than blocking.
3. Be sure that al! scaffolds are plumb and level at
. all times.
.
'"X Anchor running scaffold fa wall approximately every -28' of length and 20' of height. Use additional care
- ' when using pulley arms.
.5. Do not force braces Jo fit. Adjust evenness .of scaffold
until the proper fit can be made with ease.
'
6. Guard railing should be used on all scaffolds regard
less of heighf.
'
7. Use fodders when climbing scaffold rather than the
cross braces.
"
8. Do not use putlogs as side brackets without putlog
supports and thorough consideration for loads to be
applied.
'
9. Never tie two putlogs together to accommodate sp.ans of greater than 20/. No putlog should have less than 12" of overhang af point of support.
10. Always use pOtlog supports where spans are greater
than W.
--
11.'When using 16' and 22' putlogs in parellel, be sure to brace between them.
12. Do not omit or fail to tighten all baits and wing nuts that Ore a part of the scaffold.
Horizontal bracing should be used to prevent racking of the structure.
'1-4. All planking used on a scaffold should be of -sound qualify, straight groined, and free from knots. All planking should have at least .12" overlap or be cleated at both ends. Secure all exterior planks to scaffold.
15. Handle all rolling towers with additional core.
[a] Towers of a height greater than three times the
minimum -base dimension must be guyed at all
times.
"
(b) Apply all caster brakes when not in motion. . (c) Do not ride towers.
{d) Look where you are going .with a rolling tower. (e) Don't attempt to move a rolling tower without
sufficient help.
fiaf `it m... \t '0".HtpymHi C :T--K
|f) Provide unit lock arms on all towers.
(g) Do not extend adjusting screws more than 12".
|h) Use 5" casters on lowers under 36' in height and 8" casters on -everything .over 30',
(i) Horizontal bracing is to be used af -the bottom, top and af -intermediate levels of 30 feet.
(j) Do nof use brackets on rolling towers.
Id. Guy all fixed towers every 30' of elevation.
17. Do nof attempt to use Safway Scaffolds as material hoist towers or for mounting derricks without first determining the loads and stresses involved.
18. Inspect all equipment before -using. Keep all equip ment in good repair, avoid rusting--the strength of rusted material is not .known.
19. Never use any Safway equipment .that is damaged
or deteriorated in any way.
,
20. If in doubt .as t,o ability of Safway to do a particular job, consult the Home Office. Don't take chances,
21. Familiarize yourself with the Safety requirements of the State Codes and be governed accordingly.
22. Contractors .do nof rent or loan Satway equipment to others.
23. Do not permit Safway equipment to be used by any
one not familiar with these rules.

QL QUICK-LOCK
For fastest possible scaffold erection, Safway's Quick-Lock stud is '
highly recommended. The built-in gravity latch locks the brace in
place with the frame either right side up or upside down. With Quick-
Lock you can attach cross braces .with only one hand. Just slipping
the brace .aver the stud (even from a lower level) locks the braces
firmly In place. To remove the brace, raise the latch and the brace

Layout and prefabrication of piping is covered extensively
in Basic Training Item A-1'5 and Item A-1.7. In addition, you should
always remember the following; '
'
A. Welded
When you are fabricating welded pipe, leave a 3/32"
gap between all fittings and pipe to be welded so that a welder can get good penetration.
Also, all fittings and pipe are to be plumbed, leveled and square.
B. Screwed
,
When you are .fabricating screwed pipe, put the right amount of threads per inch on the pipe. Set dies so they don't cut too deep a thread. You should be able to screw fittings.three turns
by hand.

PIPE, TUBING, and CONDUIT when using TAL HYDRAULIC PORTABLE BENDERS
The1 following- illustrations, table, ana examples will simplify -the . calculations for obtaining dimensions to measure and mark the right locations of BEND starting points* Locations of these BEND starting points are to the center of completed bends converted to straight pr linear figures for lay-out and marking on a straight length-. It is important that after straight lengths are marked with the bend ` locations these marks are centered on the Ram and Former of the Tal Bender. To obtain dimensions for the location of the bend start point's it is necessary that the following are known.
"A* angle of bend
"B" or nC" distance to completed bend
"R" radius of bend
With these values known, and with the proper use of the, table, the bend setting dimensions can be obtained for marking on straight lengths for a multiplicity of bends in any plane in any one length
before any bend is made so that all bending can be done successively one after another, or one at a time by measuring and marking from a bend already made, making the new bend and repeating, for as many"as can be accommodated in a single length.
Above illustrations are for single and multiple bends tvhere nAn angle of hend is 90 degrees. Since "LB represents the bend setting location on a straight length, then since SDW represents the diameter of the pipe or tube, and "B" the bend radius both are known. BBn or "Cn are also known since they locate the completed bend which is governed by your requirement,

To install screwed pipe and fittings you should the location pipe is to be installed and the type of gaskets*## bolts to be used. Use the right kind of pipe joint compound for the pipe threads before screwing into fittings.
The pipe should be screwed Into the fitting until pipe threads are about flush with threads in fitting. Different fittings and manufacturers may cause pipe to screw more or less into fitting.
C. PLASTIC
'
When installing plastic pipe the most important thing is
to prevent breakage. When installation Is under ground, sand must be under the pipe as well as over it. When being Installed above ground the pipe must have several hangers on it or a hanger runway constructed beneath.
There are two ways to fabricate plastic pipe ~ screwed and cemented.
When threading plastic, you must use extreme care. All
materials should be Schedule 80 and a wooden plug put into the end of
the pipe to prevent breakage and off-center threads. Be sure to use
plastic threading lubricant. When screwing fittings onto pipe,
tighten with strap wrenches. One or two threads past hand tight is
adequate.
.
When cementing joints, all pipe ends must be square, saw mark3 and burrs removed. Follow all the other Instructions on illustrated material shown herein.

Piping
One of the more important features of industrial thermoplastic pipe is the ease with which it lends itself to a variety of fabricating techniques. This versatility, plus the wide selection of fittings and other components now available, makes possible fast and economical installation, mainte nance and modification of industrial pipe lines.
Solvent Cementing
The generally preferred method of joining rigid thermoplastics such as PVC and PVDC, solvent cementing gives a stronger joint than threading and is also considered faster and simpler. Addi tionally, solvent cementing permits the use of thinner walls, when compared to threaded con nections, for equivalent pressure ratings.
Threading
As is the case with metal pipe, threading reduces the effective wall thickness of thermoplastic pipe and introduces notch effects which lowerstrength. Threaded connections should he used with Schedule 80 or heavier pipe. The chiefadvantage of threading is the ease of disassembly it offers.

Flanging
One of the earliest methods for joining thermo plastic piping, flanging continues to be used extensively for process lines. Thermoplastic flanges and flanged fittings are available in a ful size range and may be attached to pipe by solvent cementing, by threading, or by thermal bonding as required by the particular thermoplastic ma terial.

swers to two questions: (a)...What type of trap can best be used? and (b). What is the correct size of trap to use?
To answer these questions the trapping problem frequently requires detailed analysis. Each type of trap Has certain limitations. Here are some factors which govern selection, appli cation, and successful and continuous operation of a trap.
1. Pressure or range of pressure at inlet: Pressure and condensate handling capacity are directly related in ail traps. In some designs, varying pressure limits use. Only by change in valve parts can a bucket trap be used above a limiting pressure set by the weight of the bucket. In a metallic expansion trap at a giyen

2. Amount of air to be handled: Bellows, impulse, orifice, metallic and liquid expansion traps all have excel . lent air handling capacity. Some bucket traps incorporate thermostati cally controlled air vents to permit handling large volumes of air.
3. Heat-up time required: If heat up time is not important, a trap can be appreciably smaller than if the abnormally high amount of conden sate formed on start-up must be handled quickly.

You can sJep up the performance of steam-using equipment by seeing that Its traps are working correctly. Here are tips on their care
{5.Trap manufacturers recommend that you inspect and, if necessary, main . tain your traps at least once a year. They believe this procedure helps you get best efficiency from your traps. In a small plant, trap servicing is simple. But if a plant has more than 500 traps, the project may revert to little more than breakdown maintenance.
Steam waste is too common in plants using breakdown maintenance. Too often the bypass is left open or the trap fails in the open position. Equip ment may operate all right, but much
steam is wasted. Soutine or preventive maintenance is
.-''-'he best answer to these conditions. fere's a plan that gives the maximum

Maintenance program. To get this program rolling, existing installations
may need certain changes. Though
conditions vary. Fig. 1, 2 and 3 cover most plants.
For equipment, you'll need: a sur face-contact pyrometer, a listening rod or trap stethoscope, steam - pressure gages, colored marking tags, repair parts, assorted fittings, steam-fitting tools and an oyerhaul bench on a small truck.
Checking traps. Use a sounding de vice like a listening rod or stethoscope to find out if trap opens and closes properly. Or you can do this visually, as shown in Fig. 1 and 3. Steps in checking are: (1) Close return-line block valve C, Fig. 1 and 3. (2) Open shut-off valve D from test tee. (3) Ob serve discharge.
Type of discharge varies with trap make. Get to know the discharge to be expected and learn the difference be tween liye- and flash-steam discharge. Steps 1 and 2 are not necessary in Fig.
2 because the condensate is returning to an open drain or sewer.
Trap-size check. Process changes or poor selection may result in a trap be ing incorrectly sized. When watching the trap discharge, yon may find an oversized trap remains closed for ex tended periods, while an undersized one stays open continuously.
Oversized traps may become steambound, requiring much time to con dense this steam before a new load of .condensate can be handled. This re duces production efficiency. With an undersized trap, condensate merely backs up in the equipment drained. This also reduces efficiency.
Have the manufacturer size your traps, or employ a consulting engi neer. Then you'll know your equip ment will be properly drained. They should also check the size of the re turn lines when new equipment is added io an old system in your plant.

Trap efficiency. Most traps lose ef ficiency when not serviced periodically, even though they seem to work fine. For example, if batch cooking of a product takes 30 minntes with new equipment, the operator can turn out 14 hatches in a 7-hr day. If .the trap loses efficiency to the point where a batch takes five minutes longer, there is a loss of two batches per day. When a number of kettles suffer from this trouble, the loss in yearly production can he tremendous. And it all traces to trap efficiency.
Best time to find expected efficiency t---v with a given trap is when it and the - ` equipment it serves are new. To make
this check: (1) Be sure the steam header is correctly dripped. (2) Be * cord inlet-steam pressure to the equip ' ment. (3) Measure steam pressure at trap inlet, valye B, Fig. 1. (4) Measure return-line pressure, valve D, Fig. 1.

the nipple ahead of the steam trap. It should equal or he close to the steam temperature corresponding to strainer blowoff pressure. Third reading should be taken downstream of the trap. It

Storting a program of this type takes work. But the yearly checks are much easier. Select a trap that is easy to service or overhaul while it is still in the pipe.

2. When steam reaches trap it collects at top of bucket, imparting buoyancy. Bucket then rises and lifts valve towards its seat. Flow of condensate snaps valve tight shut. Air and carbon dioxide gas pass through bucket vent and collect at top of trap. Steam passing through vent is condensed by radiation from trap.
3. When entering condensate brings the condensate level slightly above the neutral line the bucket exerts a slight pull on the lever. Butthe valve does notopen until the condensate level rises to the opening line for the existing pressure differential between the steam and the condensate return header. (See Fig, 3-1)
4. At this level weight of bucket, times leverage, exceeds the pressure holding valve to its seat. Bucket then sinks and opens trap valve. Any accumulated air is first discharged followed by condensate. Discharge continues until more steam floats bucket and the cycle is repeated.

Continuous Discharge from inverted Bucket Traps at Low Pressure
The terms "continuous discharge" and "Inverted Bucket Trap" wilt scr-m con tradictory to many trap users. But an inverted bucket tnip will discharge con tinuously at very low pressures or with veiy high back pressure.
Observation of a glass bodind/gias.s bucket trap shows that at very low pres sure there is no change in bucket con densate level and no change in bucket position, which accounts for ibe observed continuous discharge.
Why? A No. 814 trap at .25 psi pres sure has a continous discharge capacity of 1400 lbs. per hour. Using a 3 .fn I safety factor for .25 psi operation this size would be selected (o handle 46fi pounds or 7456 oz. of condensate per hour. This is slightly more than two ounces per second.I

*. . ,
Only .25 oz. of water is required to open the valve at .25 psi. Thus 2 oz. per second of condensate divided by .25 oz. of water to open gives 8 discharges per second to handle the load. Now a 21 oz. submerged weight bucket is not going to rise and sink eight times a second. The inertia of the bucket submerged in con densate prevents this rapid operation. So the bucket merely positions the valve to give ihe observed continuous discharge.
High Back Pressure Operation
High discharge line pressure affects the force required to open the trap valve just the same as lowered steam pressure. As back pressure approaches that of inlet pressure, discharge becomes continuous, just as it does on very low pressure differ entials.
Back pressure has no adverse effect on Armstrong Inverted Bucket Trap opera tion other than capacity reduction due to low differential. The trap will not fail to elhsc and will not blow steam due to the high back pressure.

ARMSTRONG CAST IRON TRAPS FOR GENERAL SERVICE-
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The Armstrong inverted submerged bucket steam trap is a mechanical bap that .operates on the big difference in density between steam and water. Steam entering the inverted submerged bucket causes die bucket to float and dose the discharge valve. Condensate entering the trap changes the bucket to a weight that sinks and opens the trap valve to dis charge the condensate. But unlike other mechanical traps, air and carbon dioxide are vented continuously at steam tem
perature. This simple principle of condensate re
moval was introduced by Armstrong in 1911. In today's Armstrong traps this proven principle has been die beneficiary of more than 50 years of improvement in materials and manufacturing technology. The result is a trap that we sincerely believe is unmatched for operating effi ciency, dependability and long life.
"Frictionless" Free-floating Valve Mechanism
The heart of the'Armstrong Steam Trap is its unique leverage astern that multi plies the force provided by the bucket to open the valve against pressure. There are no fixed pivots to wear or create fric tion. It is designed to open the discharge orifice for maximum capadty. Wearing points are heavily reinforced for long life.
The use of a different leverage ratio for each orifice size makes it possible to open the maximum size orifice at any given pressure. The result is a trap that delivers big capacity in a small, economi cal package.
Long Life Parts
Exceptfor valve seat construction in 1500 psi. and 2500 psi. traps, the mechanisms
in Armstrong Traps for low and medium pressures are identical in design, work manship and materials to those in traps for 1050F, 2500 psig. Valve and seat are chrome steel hardened, ground and lapped. All other working parts are wear and corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

Fig. 4-3. As condensate enters the trap the bucket begins to sinkand pulisdown on the valve. High leverage fulcrum "A" bears against the face of the valve seat to give the power required to open the largest practical , valve against pressure..
Fig. 4-4. Afterthe valve is well open, lower leverage" fulcrum "B" takes over,' -allowing the valve to travel further away from thaorifice-, to insure mini-' 'mum restriction- to. con densate flow.

. internal Check Valves Save Fittings, Labor and Money
When either of the following conditions exists, check valves are needed between the trap and the unit drained:
' 1. Trap is installed above unit drained. 2. Sudden pressure drops may occur in the steam supply to the unit.
Fig.4-6. Internal check valve In stalled intrap inlet.
Armstrong spring loaded, stainless steel internal check valves screw directly into the trap inlet (Fig. 4-6) or into an ex ' tended inlet tube having a pipe couplmg at the top (Fig. 4-7). This simplifies in stallation and saves tune and money.

Here's how Armstrong Inverted Bucket Steam Traps deliver everything you should get in trap
'7P#rv^*-' V"**
Fig. 5-1. 200 Series bottom inlet, top outlet Armstrong Trap.
1. No Steam Waste Discharge value is water sealed. Steam does not reach it.
2. Long Life and Dependable Service Valve and seat are chrome steel, heat treated, ground and lapped. Free floating valve mecha nism is "frictioniess." Wear points are heavily reinforced.
3. Corrosion Resistance All working parts are made of stainless steel.
4. Continuous Air Venting Vent in top of bucket provides continuous auto matic air venting. The steam passing through the vent is less than that required to offset radiation loss from the trap.
5. C02 Venting at Steam Temperature Fixed vent passes CO2 immediately--there is no cooling lag that would permit C02 to go into solution and form corrosive carbonic acid.
6. Operating Against Back Pressure Since trap operation is governed solely by the difference in density of steam and water, back pressure in the return line has no effect on the ability of the trap to open for condensate and close against steam.
7. Freedom from Dirt Trouble Condensate flow under the bottom edge of the bucket keeps sediment and sludge in suspen sion until discharged with condensate. There is no build-up of dirt. There are no close clear ances to be affected by scale.

-OR SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
feating When Steam Is Turned On
Wherever steam is turned on and off, air . will accumulate in piping and steam
equipment during the off period. A trap with a thermic bucket will discharge this air 50 to 100 times faster than a standard bucket, reducing heat-up time remark ably. Thermic vent buckets are available for all Armstrong traps for use at pres sures up to 125 psig. Where to Use: Single pipe coils; small on-and-oflF unit heaters; on-and-off mul tiple coils; drip points (particularly at { Vis of steam distribution mains); wher ever air will pocket and be discharged ahead of incoming steam.
Operation of the thermic bucket trap . is described at the right.

1. Trap cool. Air cannot collect at the top of the bucket because the large vent is wide open. The bucket stays down and holds the bap valve wide open allowing air to escape very rapidly until__
2... . steam reaches the bucket. The bi metal strip is heated by the steam. This closes the thermic vent. Steam will then collect in fop of bucket to impart buoy ancy and close the trap valve.
With thermic vent closed, the trap operates as a standard trap as shown in operating drawings on pages 2 & 3.

PHYSICAL DATA
capacities to 6,800 lbs/hr
Armstrong traps for low pressure service have been developedespecially fordrain ing unit heaters, preheat and reheat coils, converters, hot water generators, etc., where steam supply is intermittent. The design of these traps gives high air vent ing capacity on start-up and good con densate drainage characteristics.
Successful drainage of steam heated units under modulated steam supply re quires careful attention to system design. See the following:

Armstrong 860T Series Traps
The Armstrong Open Float and Thermo static Trap is an inverted bucket trap with three special features:
1. A thermostatic air vent for removal of large volumes of air encountered on start up.
2. Discharge orifices sized to remove large volumes of condensate at low pressures.
3. Pipe connections sized to meet pip ing requirements of low pressure service.
So designed, the Armstrong O.E&T. trap provides the advantages of the in verted bucket trap in a "package" that is compatible with low pressure service re quirements. Most important among tlie.se advantages are:
CONTINUOUS VENTING of air and car bon dioxide at steam temperature with out a cooling lag.
SELF SCRUBBING ACTION handles dirt by keeping it in suspension in the turbu lent flow of condensate under the bottom of the bucket.
CORROSION RESISTANCE is assured by all-stainless steel working parts (except for bi-metal strip of thermostatic vent).
DEPENDABILITY is assured by the ability of the trap to keep itself clean and the use of stainless steel parts. Additionally, O.K&T. traps "fail open," a remote possi bility but an important safety feature.

tor pressures to 400 pssg... capacities to 1060 ibs}hr
Armstrong stocks one size of ductile iron trap in two body styles--side inlet, side outlet or right angle with side inlet and bottom outlet. Capacity is identical to the Nos. 811, 211 and 881 for pressures of 250 psi or less. At pressures from 250 to 400 psi capacity is the same as the forged
steel trap No. 310 as given on page 10. Ductile iron traps may be substituted
for the bottom inlet, top outlet No. 310 when straight through or angle piping is more economical. They are also used at pressures below 250 psi for those services where their exceptional shock resistance
is needed for optimum safety.
The mechanism is identical to that used
in the No. 310 forged steel trap. Recom
mended maximum working pressure on
saturated steam or cold water is 400 psi.
Maximum design pressure-temperature
limitation is 400 psi at 650E

TRAPS FOR BmmmQ WATER FROM COMPRESSED AIR '
' ....................
...........: '" '
ror pressures to WOO psig
Armstrong compressed air traps are used to remove water from compressed air and other gases. They will not separate the moisture particles from compressed air but do provide dependable, automatic drainage of liquid from intercoolers, after coolers, receivers, separators and drips.
Heavy Oil and Water Service
Use Armstrong No. 213 BVSW Inverted Bucket Air Traps because the valve is at. the top. Oil is discharged first and the inverted bucket floats and sinks freely when the body is full of water instead of cold heavy oil. The No- 213 size is the smallest trap that will give dependable service on a heavy cold oil-water mixture. Operation. The No. 213 BVSW operation is quite similar to that of an inverted bucket steam trap (See page 3). How ever, the air that passes through the bucket vent cannot condense. Instead it is discharged intermittently ahead of oil and water. The volume of air vented is about 10 scfh.
Water Only Service
Use Armstrong Ball Float Compressed Air Traps.
No. 1-LD Liquid Drainer. This modestly priced free-floating lever air trap assures positive drainage of moderate volumes of water at pressures up to 250 psig.
Nos. 2-LD, 3-LD, and 6-LD Liquid Drain ers answer large capacity requirements for positive automatic drainage at pres sures to 250 psi. Available in forged steel as Nos. 32-LD, 33-LD, and 36-LD for pressures to 1000 psi.
No. 21 Ball Float Trap. The ball float and other working parts are made of stainless steel for long life. No. 21 traps are used to drain small separators, low points in air lines and drip pockets ahead of risers. Maximum operating pressure is 250 psi.
High Pressure Service. The No. 21-312, a forged steel version of the No. 21, but with a larger float, is good for pressures to 750 psi.
Operation. The discharge from the No. 21 is continuous. The opening of the valve is just wide enough to remove the water as fast as it comes to the trap. Thus, at times, the valve is barely cracked from its seat.
Grit Hazard. It is possible for grit or fine scale to lodge between the valve and seat of the No. 21 and thereby prevent clos ing when the load decreases. To answer this not uncommon problem, Armstrong offers the Snap Action Np. 71 Trap.
No. 71 Snap Action Trap. In this design energy is stored in a flat stainless steel spring that replaces the conventional float Ieyer. When the trap is nearly full of water, the spring snaps past dead center, opening wide the valve. During discharge the process is reversed. Do not use the No. 71 when the load exceeds 120 Ibs/hr.
High Pressure Service. The No. 71-315 is a forged steel trap with the .No. 71 snap action mechanism that operates at pressures as high as 1000 psig.

STEAM AT WORM *. - how the heat ofsteam is utilized
Heat always flows from a higher level to a lower level. Starting in the combustion chamber, heat flows through the boiler metal to the water. When the higher pressure in the bpiler pushes steam out of the boiler into the distribution system, the steam in the pipes will be at a higher
temperature than the .surrounding air.
Heat then flows from the steam through
the walls of the pipe to the air. This lass
of heat causes some steam to change back
to water. Steam distribution pipes are in
sulated to minimize this wasteful and
undesirable heat transfer.
'
When steam reaches the unit it, is in tended to heat, the story is different. Here the transfer of heat from the steam to the :u'r passing through an air heater, to the water in a water heater or to the food in a cooking kettle is highly desirable. Noth ing should interfere with this heat transfer.

CONDENSATE DRAINAGE... why it is necessary
Condensate is the by-product of a steam system used to distribute and transfer heat. Condensate forms in the distribu- _. tion system because of unavoidable heat losses. And condensate forms in heating and process equipment because of heat transfer from the steam to the substance heated. All of this condensate must be removed.
The Need for Draining the Distribution System
Steam moves fast in mains or supply lines--often at 90 miles per hour or faster. A build up of condensate in these lines can be pushed along by the fast moving steam and turned into a battering ram that can damage pipe fittings and regulat ing valves or at least cause annoying noise. It is essential that this condensate be removed as a "heavy dew" before it can grow into a dangerous slug.
Fig. 20-2. Coil half full of condensate can't
work at full capacity.
.
The Need for Draining the Heat Transfer Unit
Obviously, condensate in the heat trans fer unit takes up space and, in effect, re duces the physical size and capacity of the equipment. It must be removed promptly so that the equipment can be kept full of steam. See Fig. 20-2.
Water Hammer. Hot steam in contact wirti condensate that has cooled below
Fig. 20-3. Condensate allowed to collect in pipes or tubes is blown into waves by steam passing over it until it blocks steam flow at point A. Condensation in .area B causes a pressure differential that allows steam pressure to push the slug of con densate alonglike a battering ram to cause water hammer.
the temperature of steam may produce water hammer which is annoying and can shorten the life of coils and tubes. See Fig. 20-3. -
The Need for Removing Air and C02
The drainage problem involves more than just condensate removal. Air and carbon dioxide gas must also be removed.
Air may be in the boiler feedwater and it is always present on start up. Car bon dioxide gas is released in the toiler from dissolved carbonates that may be in the boiler feed water.

HOW TO TRAP STEAM MAMS
'
r,ft'*rafttfwram-n*^sjaMgamea?.wwwroawiw<wBPKaHufc^*g:c .
^^Selection of trap sizes to drain steam . !iains depends on the warm-up method
that will be used--Supervised or Auto
matic. Supervised Warm-Up is widely used for initial heating of large diameter or long mains. Such mains may be warmed-up "only once in a life-time." The engineer tabes no chances with such mains.
The "drip valves for free blow to the atmosphere" as called for by the Amer ican Standard Code for Pressure Piping are opened wide before steam is admitted to the main. These drip valves are not closed until after all or most of the warm up condensate has been discharged. . Then, the traps take over the job of re moving condensate that may form under
operating conditions. Warm-up of principal piping in a
power plant will follow much this same procedure.
Automatic Warm-Up. Here the boiler is fired, letting the mains and some or all equipment come up to pressure and tem perature without manual help or super vision.
Trap Selection
for Automatic Warm-Up
Trap Spacing directly affects trap sizing.
Under conditions of full pressure and low
steam velocity, condensate will flow by
gravity to the low spots in the main. You
must provide drip legs and traps at all
low spots or natural drainage points such
as:
Ahead of risers
Ends of mains
Ahead of expansion joints or bends
Ahead of valves and regulators Where there are no natural drainage points, drip legs and drain traps should be provided at intervals no longer than about 500 feet. Bemember, steam main condensate should be drained while it is a "heavy dew" rather than a dangerous slug.
Drip Legs are provided to:
1. Let condensate escape by gravity from the fast moving steam.
2. Store the condensate until the pres sure differential is great enough for the steam trap to discharge it.
Size of Drip Legs. Automatic warm-up systems should have drip leg the same di ameter as the main and long enough to:

1. Provide storage of condensate until there is positive pressure.
2. Provide static pressure head so trap can discharge condensate before a positive pressure exists in the main. See dimension "H" in piping draw-
ings.
Trap Sizing '
Step 1. Use table A-26 to determine con densate produced in warming Schedule 40 pipe to 219F or 2 psig. This is the warming-up load for steam trap sizing.
For steam pressures and pipe sched ules not covered by the table, the warm ing-up Joad can be calculated using the following formula:
c_ ---W-----X-- -j-t-r^X .114
C = Amount of condensate W = Total weight of pipe
(See -Table B-26 for pipe weights) tx = Final temperature of pipe t2 = Initial temperature of pipe L = Latent heat of steam at final temperature--See Steam Table on inside front cover. .114 = Specific heat of wrought or " ' steel pipe
Step 2, Divide warming-up load by num ber of minutes required to reach 219F or 2 psig to get pounds per minute. Mul tiply by 60 to get pounds per hour. Step 3, Pressure differential for trap siz ing will be 1 psig for every 28" of head between bottom of main and top of trap --See Fig. 26-1.
Step 4. Pick orifice size from Table C-26 and select trap size from the chart on page 26.
Example: "Automatic" warm-up load is
750 Ibs/hr at warm-up pressure of 1
. psig. Final pressure is 125 psig. Refer to
the 1 psig column of Table C-26 where
you find a %o" orifice will handle 841
lbs/hr. Going up the 125 psig pressure
line of the chart on page 26, you find that
the No. 214 or No. 814 trap can open a
%o" orifice. This is the size to use, '
The actual 841 750 or 1.12 to 1
safety factor in the preceding example
will result in a xeallygenerous safety fac
tor because:
. 1. Pressure can not drop below the
minimum or static head in drip leg.
2. As pressure rises in the main, trap
capacity increases,
.
3. As pressure rises, warming-up load
decreases faster than increase in ra
diation loss from insulated main.
Trap Selection for Supervised Warm-Up
Trap Spacing. Drip legs and traps should be located at all natural drip points or at intervals not to exceed about 500 feet.
Drip Legs for a supervised warm-up main need not be as large as for an auto matic system. Here the emphasis is on removing condensate from the fast mov ing steam rather than on storage capacity.
Eyen so, it is good practice to use pipe diameter drip legs up to 4" pipe size and at least 4" diameter legs for the larger pipe sizes.
Trap Sizing. If the warm-up is 100% su
pervised, traps will be selected merely
to discharge condensate produced by ra
diation losses. Table B-27 shows conden
sate per lineal foot of insulated pipe. In
sulation was assumed to be 75% efficient.
For pressures or pipe sizes not in
cluded in the Tables, use the following
formula:
*
c,, _ AX,UX-fti-yE
C = Condensate in lbs per hour A = External area of pipe in square
feet (see table on page 4,8) = Steam temperature, degrees F t2 = Air temperature in degrees F L = Latent neat of steam U = Btuper sq. ft. per degree tem
perature difference per hour from Chart A-27 E = 1 minus efficiency of insulation (Example, 81% efficient insola tion: 1--.81 = .19 or E = .19
Safety Factors. Traps installed between the boiler and the end of the steam main: 2 to 1. Traps installed at the end of the main or ahead of reducing and shut-off valves that are closed part of'the time: 3 to I.
Replacing Existing Traps
If the .trap to be replaced has never lacked capacity, you are perfectly safe'in using an Armstrong that has an orifice size at least as large as in the trap re placed.
But if main drainage has not been satisfactory,, follow the selection proce dure given on these pages. Install a drip leg if needed.

SIZING TRAPS POP SUBMERGED EMBOSSEB COILS

i
In general the drainage of embossed coils
is similar to the drainage of pipe coils of
&e same configuration. Embossed coils
can be of the multiple header type or
serpentine type. They are either double
or single embossed.
.
For maximum coil output, trap each
coil independently. This is a "must when
coils are syphon drained.
Syphon Drainage. Embossed coils fre quently are used for heating open tanks Uirougn which it is not practical to make a gravity condensate drain Connection. Condensate must be syphoned from the bottom of the coil over the tank wall to the trap (See Fig. 35-3). To keep the coil drained, the minimum steam pressure in pounds should never be less than the syphon lift in feet Use "LV" (enlarged vent) traps installed below the high point
of the syphon.
Short Circuiting. When the embossed
coil in Fig. 35-2 is suspended vertically in a tank, short circuiting complicates syphon drainage. Schematic drawing Fig. 35-4 shows channels 1, 2 and 3 replacing the multiple channels of Fig. 35-2. At start-up, condensate will fill the lower sections of channels 1 and 2 because steam can short circuit through channel 3 to close the trap. Condensate formed in channels 1 and 2 will rise to the drain point of channel 3 and be syphoned to the trap. Air accumulation in channels 1 and 2 reduces the heat transfer rate and, therefore, the pressure drop. Thus, in . creased pressure in channels 1 and 2 will forpe out condensate and vent the air. Once purged the process will be re peated.
Thermostatic pontrol. When tank tem perature is regulated automatically, the temperature control valve frequently will close to the point where a vacuum will be formed in the coil. Drainage becomes impossible with negative coil pressure.
A vacuum breaker check valve should be installed between the control valve and the coil to admit air to the coil when the vacuum forms. See Fig. 35-3.
As the control valvp starts to reopen, incoming steam heats the air in the coil, causing the air to expand and build up enough pressure to force the water up the syphon and into the trap. Air quickly escapes through the "LV* trap bringing the coil to steam temperature.
Determining Load. The amount of con densate on which trap selection is based must be determined for each individual application. The consulting engineer or coil manufacturer should know the Btu per hour design heat.transfer rate for the particular coil installations. Dividing this Btu figure by the latent heat of steam at the operating steam pressure will give a condensate load in pounds per hour. To size traps, use the recommended trap selection safety factors given in the cap tions with the drawings.
NOTE: "LV" trap has enlarged bucketvent (seeexplanation under Syphon Drainage, page 39). "CV" indicates trap equipped with internal check valve.

SYPHON DRAINAGE AND HOW TO TRAP REVOLVING DRYERS
rt ,-tj-v-<ttxj rt.t.
efloryg-waflEwgiy cftAwawag'^>"V~t
When condensate must he lifted above the gravity drain point to reach the trap, a syphon exists. Fig. 37-1 shows an ex ternal syphon --one surrounded by air. Fig. 37-2 depicts an internal sypnon -- . one surrounded by steam. External Syphon (Fig. 37-1). As soon as condensate fills the water seal, no more steam can flow to the syphon pipe. Radi ation loss from the syphon causes con densation and a pressure drop. This allows full steam pressure in the unit to force condensate up the syphon pipe. The water seal may break and reform more than once before enough conden sate has accumulated to fill the syphon and reach the trap. Height Limitation. Theoretically, con densate will rise 28" in the syphon for every pound of pressure differential. To use all of the differential for elevating condensate would leave none for forcing condensate through the trap orifice. A safe rule is one foot of lift for every pound of pressure differential. Flash Steam In External Syphon. As the ,rssure drops above the condensate in " yphon pipe, flashing is likely to occur, isvery 28" rise in condensate level re quires a pressure drop of 1 psi. With .condensate entering the syphon at, say, 15.3 psi a lift of 7 feet requires the syphon steam pressure to drop to 12.3 psi. Ignoring heat loss from the syphon
SYPHON. After water seal fills with con densate, radiation loss will lower the steam pressure in the syphon.
some 0.64% of the condensate would flash into steam. (See discussion of flash stearn'Toriffation- -on .t.he inside front cover.)
With a condensing rate of ]000 Jbs/hr there would be 6.4 lbs or 97 cu, ft. of flash per hour. This flash steam must be vented to keep it from closing the trap while condensate is waiting to be dis charged.
Armstrong traps with enlarged bucket vents (LV suffix to Trap No.) are re quired to vent the flash steam that forms in syphon pipes. When ordering traps for syphon drainagemdirSite the condensate load, the maximum and minimum pres sures and the amount of lift. With this information vent size can be determined accurately.
Where the trap is installed as in Fig. 37-1 it should be equipped with an in ternal check valve. Provide a loop ahead of 200 series traps as shown. Internal Syphon (Fig. 37-2). Here there is no radiation loss from the syphon pipe surrounded by steam. Condensate rising in the syphon flashes readily aided by the small heat flow to the syphon. Vent ing of flash becomes imperative if slug gish drainage is to be avoided.
EFFECT OF SYPHON PIPE SIZE
Fig. 37-3. Oversizesyphon. Steam can bubble up through the condensate without changing its density. Conden sate cannot reach trap until pipe is filled with condensate. Fig. 37,4. In correctly sized syphon (one pipe size smaller than nominal trap size but not smaller than Vf) steam bubbles, in effect, reduce the density of the condensate and help carry condensate along to the trap.
Fig. 37-2. A revolving cylinder drained with a syphon-an INTERNAL SYPHON sur rounded by steam. No radiation loss from syphon--only from the external piping be tween cylinder and trap.
How to Trap Revolving Dryers
Traps {or draining revolving dryers need enlarged bucket vents. When steam is first turned on the enlarged vents pass entrained air rapidly. When all air has been discharged the dryer reaches steam temperature and the capacity of the large vent is then needed to prevent flash steam from impeding trap operation.
Trap Sizing. Table' A-37 shows experi ence-proven size recommendations by size and type of dryer. The order for traps should specify "For syphon-drained cylinder service." Also give tire diameter and length of the dryer, condensate load, if known, as well as the maximum and minimum steam pressures. . '

PIPE SIZING STEAM SUPPLYAND CONDENSATE RETURN LINES

Definitions:
Steam Mains or mains which cany steam from the boiler to,an area m which mul tiple steam-using units are installed.
Steam Supply Pipes which take steam from steam main to steam-heated unit.

Condensate Return Lines which receive condensate from many trap discharge Imps and carry the condensate back to the boiler room.
Pipe Sizing
Select pipe sizes large enough to take care,of reasonable future expansion.
Steam Mains. The sizing and design of high capacity steam mains is a complex problem thatshould be assigned to a com petent engineer.
Tables A-40 through F-41 will prove helpful in checking steam main sizes or in determining main size for small plants. Example: An existing 3" steam main may ..--supplying one department of a large : _ it with 3800 Ib/hr at 180 psi. Ques tion: Could the steam use of this departmen be increased to 8500 Ibs/hr without a new supply line? ' Table E-41 shows that 1 psi pressure drop is produced in 100 feet of 3" pipe when supplying 3800 Ib/hr. To increase the flow to 8500 Ib/hr would produce a pressure drop of 5 psi per hundred feet. If the pressure drop and corresponding decrease in steam temperature is not ob jectionable, the existing 3" pipe can be used, However, if this much pressure drop is not permissible, an additional 3" main will have to be installed, or .the existing 3" main will have to be replaced with a 4" main which can handle 8500
lb/hr with a pressure drop of only 1 psi per 100 feet.
Steam Supply Pipes. When a new heat ing or process unit is installed in an exist ing plant, Tables A-40-F-41 are entirely (practical for checking the size of pipe to run from the steam main to the new unit. The use of the tables is best described by solving a typical problem:
Assume a steam main pressure of 101 to 105 psig. Unit is rated to condense 600 3b/hr, and 100 psig minimum is re quired at unit for quality production. Measurements show 75 feet of pipe re quired, involving three standard elbows plus a globe valve. Allowable pressure drop not to exceed 1 psi.
Assuming that a 2" pipe will be required, use Table H-41 to determine equivalent length of pipe to be added to
compensate for fittings.
3--2" standard elbows at 4.3 =12.9 ft.
1--2" Globe valve
= 46.0 ft.
. Total for valve and fittings 58.9 ft.
Adding this to the length of the supply pipe gives a .total effective length of 133.9 feet--call it 1.34 hundred feet. Dividing our maximum allowable pressure drop of 1 psi by 1.34 gives us an allowable pres sure drop of psi per 100 feet.
Refer to Table C-41 for 100 psi steam. With a pressure drop of % psi per 100 feet, a 2" pipe will give a flow of 850 lb/hr. In fact, with a pressure drop of only Ja psi per 100 feet the flow would be 690 Ib/hr. However,'a Ifi" pipe would require a pressure drop of 2 psi per 100 feet .for a flow of 680 Ib/hr. 1%" pipe is too small and the 2" is the size to use.
In the example just cited, if the steam pressure in the unit is not critical, a 1U" pipe could-be used which would give a pressure drop of about 5 psi per 100 feet,
or about 611 psi for the effective length of 133.9 feet
Trap Discharge Lines. Trap discharge lines usually are short Assuming the trap is properly sized for the job, use a trap discharge line the same size as the trap connections. At very low pressure differ entials between trap and condensate re turn pipe, trap discharge lines can be increased one pipe size advantageously.
Condensate Return Lines. Here again, for medium and large-sized plants, the services of a consultant should be em ployed to engineer the condensate return pipe or pipes. Table G-41 shows conden sate return pipe capacities when pipe is new and with the pressure drops per 100 feet specified. Usual}/ it is considered good practice to select return pipe one or two sizes larger to allow for (1) increase in plant capacity and (2) fouling of pipe with rust and scale.
Traps and High Back Pressure. Back pressures excessive by normal standards may he carried by design, or back pres sures may increase due to fouling of re turn lines, increase in condensate load, or faulty trap operation.
Back pressure, high or low, has no ad verse effect on the operation of an Arm strong trap. As back pressure goes up, discharges become shorter but are more frequent. However, the trap continues to perform its primary function of discharg ing condensate with no loss of steam. See explanation on page 3.
Back pressure does lower the pressure differential and, hence, the capacity of the trap is decreased. In severe cases, the reduction in capaeity.could make it neces sary to use traps one size larger to com pensate for the decrease in operating pressure differential.

INSTALLATION OF ARMSTRONG INVERTED BUCKET TRAPS :
stjt" p-isrT*,n :sr* j'k i
Ifore Installing
Run pipe to trap. Before installing the . trap; clean the line by blowing down at
full steam pressure. (Clean any strainer screens after this blow-down.)
Trap location ABC's
.
Accessible for inspection and repair . Below drip point whenever possible
. Close to drip point
Trap Hook-Ups. For low and medium pressure service, see Figs. 42-1 through 42-8. Follow the Power Piping Code for Drips and Drains when installing high
pressure traps.
Shut-Off Valves ahead of traps are needed
` when traps drain steam mains, large wa
ter heaters, ete., where system cannot be
shut down for trap maintenance. They
are not needed for small steam heated
machines--a laundry press, for example.
Shut-off valve in steam supply to ma
chine is sufficient. '
'
Shut-off valve in trap discharge line is
needed when trap has a bypass. It is a
. good idea when there is high pressure in
discharge header. See also Check Valves.
^By-passes (Figs. 42-8 and 42-7). Use . 'ly when continuous service is a must.
*.eep by-passes above traps as shown.
Unions. If only one is used, it should be on discharge side of trap. With two unions, avoid horizontal or vertical in-line installations. The best practice is to in stall at right angles as in Figs. 42-1 and
42-6 or parallel as in Fig. 42-7.- '
Standard Connections. Servicing is sim plified by keeping lengths of inlet and ' outlet nipples identical for traps of a given size and type. A spare trap with identical fittings and half unions can be kept in the storeroom. In the event a trap needs repair it is a simple matter to break the two unions slip out the ailing trap, put in the spare :and tighten the unions. Repairs can then be made in the shop and the repaired trap, .with fittings and half unions, pfrt back in stock.
Test Valves (Fig. 42-1) provide best means of checking trap operation. Use a pet cock or a small globe valve. Provide a check valve or snut-off valve in the discharge line to isolate trap while testing.
Strainers. Install strainers ahead of small traps when dirt conditions are bad or where specified, -They are seldom needed with larger size of traps.
Traps No. 880;883 have built-in strain ers. When strainer blow down valve is used, shut off steam supply valve before opening strainer blow-down valve. Con densate in trap body will flash back through strainer screen for thorough cleaning. Open steam valve slowly to be sure trap regains its seal.
Dirt Pockets (Figs. 42-1 and 42-7) are excellent for stoppingscale and core sand. Clean periodically.
Syphon Installations require a water seal
and a check w-ilve in the trap. Syphon -
pipe should he one size smaller than -
nominal size of trap used but not less than
is" pipe size.
. ..
Elevating Condensate/ Do .not oversize the vertical riser. In fact, one pipe size smaller than normal for the Job. will give
excellent results.
'
Check Valves .are frequently needed.
They are a must if no discharge line shut
off valve is used. Fig. 42-9 shows three
possible locations for external checkvalves
--also an Armstrong Internal Check Valve
(See page 4). Recommended locations
given below.
'
Discharge Line Check Valves prevent back flow nnd isolate trap when test valve is opened. Normally installed at location B. When return line is elevated and trap is exposed to freezing conditions, install ' check valve at location A, Fig. 42-9.
Inlet Line Check Valves prevent loss-of
seal if pressure should drop suddenly or if
trap is above drip point. Armstrong Stain-
less Steel Check Valve in trap body, loca
tion D, is recommended. If swing check
is used, install at location C.
''
. '
Protection Against Freezing. In general, a properly selected and installed Arm- - ` strong Trap will not freeze as long as
steam is coming to the trap. If the steam supply should be shut off, the trap should be drained manually or automatically by means of a thermo drain or pop drain.
Fig. 42-1. Standard hookup No. 800-814, - 880-883 traps, with shut-off valves to iso . late trap during testing, inspection or re
pair. Unions should be at right angles--not in-line--to facilitate trap removal.

Steam Loss. If the trap blows live steam, trouble may be due to any of the follow ing causes:
A. Valve may fail to seat. 1. Piece of scale lodged in orifice. 2. Worn valve parts.
Fig. 44-1. Vent scrubbing wire for use when pit plugs vent" Trap inlet tube must be removed.
B. Trap may lose its prime.
1. If the trap is blowing .live steam, close the inlet valve for a few min utes. Then gradually open. If the trap catches its prime, the chances are that the trap is all right.
2. Prime loss is usually due to sudden or frequent drops in steam pressure. On such jobs, the installation oF a check valve is called for--location D or C in Fig. 42-9. If possible lo cate trap well below drip point.
Continuous Flow. If the trap discharges continuously, check the following:
A. Trap too small.
',
3. A larger trap, or'.additional-traps
should be installed in parallel.
2. High pressure traps may have been
used for a low pressure job. Install
right size of pressure change as-'
sembly,
-
B. Abnormal water conditions.
"
3. Boiler may foam or prime, throwing . large quantities of water into steam
lines. A separator should be installed
or else the feed water conditions
remedied.
'
Sluggish Heating. When trap operates
satisfactorily but units fail to heat prop
erly;
.
A. One or more units may be short-cir cuiting and the remedy is to install a trap on each unit. See - page 24.
B. Traps may be too small for job' even ' though they .may discharge .intermit tently. Try next-size-larger trap.
C. Trap may have insufficient'air-han
dling capacity. Use of thermic buckets
may help. See page 4. Where thermic
bucket is not recommended, larger-
than-standard bucket vents will speed
up heating.
.
Mysterious Trouble. If trap operates sat
isfactorily when discharging to atmos
phere, but trouble is encountered when
connected with return line, check the fol
lowing: .
'
A. Back Pressure may reduce capacity of trap.
1. Return line too small (Trap hot).
2. Other traps may be blowing steam (Trap hot).
3. Atmospheric vent in condensate re ceiver may be plugged (Trap hot or cold).
4. Obstruction in return line (Trap hot or cold).
5. Excess vacuum in return line (Trap cold).
Imaginary Troubles. If it appears that steam escapes every time trap discharges, remember: Hot condensate forms flash steam when released to lower pressure, but flash steam usually condenses quickly in the return line.
How to Order Repair Parts. For all operating mechanism parts, specify trap size and maximum operating pressure or orifice size. For gaskets, specify trap size. . For body and cap, specify trap size and pipe connections.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF INVERTED BUCKET TRAPS
fequency. All traps should be opened at least once a year to check operating .mechanism.
Valves and Seats. If the valve seat has a
sharp smooth edge, and if there is a frar-
row bright ring all the way around the
hall valve, chances tire that the valve is
tight. Valves and Seats which have be
' come wire drawn or badly grooved from
wear'.should be replaced. Do not use a
new seat with an old valve or vice-versa.
Valves and seats are factory-lapped to
gether in matched sets for perfect fit.
` Yt-.u i or experience have proved il-at
when valves and seats have worn enough
to require renewal, a new lever and guide
. pin assembly should also be installed in
get maximum mileage from-the now
valve parts.
-
Valve Seat' installation. When installing
valve seats in Armstrong traps,' do' NOT , use any pipe dope or lubricant of any
kind on the seat threads. The joint is made, not by the threads, but rather by the contact between the ground end of ' the valve- seat and the beveled seating area af-the bottom of the tapped-hole. See Fig. 45-1. Make sure- that this sent-
>g area is perfectly clean.

Fig. 45-1. Important! Valve seat seal is made at point of contact in dicated, not by threads. Be sure to read para graph above.
Replace Lever and Guide Pin Assembly. When new valve parts-am used .---Iti* an ok! i:v-?r, bucket travel, valve upeniv!' and trap capacity are reduced. Willi "jred and won) guide pins, the valve is not guiib-d as closely to its seat. Poor gmd* an'r-c develops leaks quickly because valve can strike side of seat instead o? centc*.

Guide Pin Assembly installation. Install with hooks pointing away from adjoin ing gasket surfaces as shown in Fig. 45-7.
Alignment of Guide Pins, To check the alignment-of the guide pins, hold the lever assembly against the valve seat with the valve contacting's seat, and the two fulcrum points resting on the face of the seat. When the lever is held in this posi tion, the guide pins should be central in the guide pin holes. See Fig. 45-2. There should be equal side-to-side movement of lever as shown in Fig. 45-3 and Fig. 45-4. It is a very simple matter to bend the pins until they are centrally located.
Care should be taken so that the pins will' remain perpendicular to the guide pin plate so that the lever can drop until it rests on the guide pin hooks.
The Lever Assembly Is hooked over the
guide pins. In a few sizes of traps, par
. ticularly at low pressures, the valve lever
assembly must be-slipped on the guide
pins before the guide pin assembly is
fastened into position.
'
Buckets. Cracked or corroded buckets-
should be replaced.
Bucket Hooks. Since July 1, 1940, all free-floating lever Armstrong Traps have been furnished with stainless steel buckets. Normally wear is limited to the bncket book. In the Nos. 212-812 and larger sizes, these hooks are now riveted to the bucket .cap, so that the hooks can be.renewed.
Thermic Buckets. Hold over steam jet or . lighted match to see that disc seats prop
erly when bi-metal strip is heated.
Dirt in Trap. Remove all sediment and other dirt from the trap body. The mech.-. anism may require cleaning by immers ing in gasoline or kerosene. .If there is nn exceptional amount of dirt, install astrainer ahead of the trap.- The- strainer ' will have to be blown down or cleaned
at periodic intervals. .
By-Pass Valve Inspection. If traps are
installed with a by-pass, it is highly im-'
portant that the by-pass valve be checked
to make sure it is perfectly steam tight.
If the trap can be operated without the
by-pass by all means remove it. Avoid
the practice of opening by-pass valves
and leaving them open.
.
Internal Check Valve Installation. Since -
. November, 1946, all Armstrong Trap
bodies have been tapped on the. inside
to take Armstrong spring-loaded check
valves. To install one of these check valves
after a trap has been installed in the line,.
simply remove the trap cap-and extended
inlet tube from the body and screw the
check valve in position, or replace tube
with checkvalve, coupling and tube com
bination.
.
Check Valve-Inspection. Make sure that
check valves ahead of trap, in trap, or in
return line, are tight and in good condi
tion.
. .. .. _
Pressure Changes. An Armstrong Trap
will operate at any pressure lower than
the maximum for which it is furnished.
The maximum pressure depends upon
the diameter of the discharge orifice used .
in each size of trap.
-
If it isnecessary to change the working
pressure of the trap to obtain greater
capacity at lower pressures, or to enable
the trap to work at higher pressures, a
complete `pressure change assembly is re
quired. This comprises a valve seat, a
valve, valve retainer, valve lever and
guide pin assembly.
Fig. 45.2shows CORRECT ALIGNMENTofguide pins. When correctly aligned, lever can be moved sideways the same distance to the right (Fig. 45-3) as to the left (Fig. 45-4).
Two examples of INCORRECT ALIGN MENT. Guide pins should be bent in direction of arrows until they center in holes as shown in Fig. 45-2.

These traps, dne to their large orifices, can be sized to handle unusual dirt conditions

.
float traps may be damaged by surges of liquid which can cause float failure through col- . '

blow through.
--
Safety factor: A safety factor of VAtoZ times the maximum load is recommended for the nornial operation. Greater safety factors may be desirable to get the benefits of oversized orifices.

Oversizing float traps does not affect their operation as it does in other types of traps. See

*=t
dual Gravity . APPLICATIONS
The ball float in the Clark duo-gravity drainers is weighted to sink in the lighter of the two liquids and to float in the heavier liquid. When the jbeavy liquid enters the drainer, the float be
comes buoyant and.opens the discharge valve allowing the heavy liquid to be discharged
from the unit. Typical installations in clude: removal of water from gasoline ' accumulators. Settling tanks, evap orators and Pipe lines carry ing 'light liquids with water present.
When the float trap is placed below the level
of the tank or fluid line, die liquid flows con
tinuously .into the trap and the float -will
reach a point of equilibrium, holding die
discharge valve open sufficiently to
discharge the liquid at the same
rate it enters.

Clark FloatTraps may be used to maintain constant
levels in tanks and reservoirs. As liquid level rises,
tbe float buoyancy increases-. When the buoyancy
is sufficient to overcome the force exerted hy
the gas pressure against the -valve, the float
mechanism will open the discharge valve,
\.
ressure then forces the liquid out of the . trap, lowering the liquid leveL As the
drops the float loses buoyancy
.. and sjnks to close the dis
charge valve.

CLARK FLOAT TRAPS discharge as accumulated liquid flows by gravity into the trap body, causing \e ball float to rise and open the discharge valve. " There is always a liquid level present at discharge over die discharge orifice, which creates a liquid seal
and permits drainage without loss of air or gas. The
float tends to reach a point of equilibrium to dis
charge continuously at the same rate the liquid enters
the trap. With these operating characteristics, the
traps are used to advantage--
'
'
. to drain accumulated liquids from air or gas lines..
. for systems where there are wide variations in condensate load. Extreme light loads or no-load conditions do not affect the efficiency
of these traps.
.
. for superheated steam systems where no-load or even re-evaporation conditions exist to prevent any loss of steam.
. for maintaining constant levels.
. for discharging liquids of low or varying specific gravities.
. for dual-gravity service to maintain an interface by draining a heavy liquid from a lighter liquid.
TRAPS No. 60F, 271G, 540. 542 are of high pressure cast iron (ASTM Class 35) for pressures to 250 psi--450F. or 300 psi-- 150F. Trap No. 701DF is of forged steel construction for pressures to 300 psi -- 500F. Working parts are of stainless steel with Clark-foy (heat-treated stainless steel) seats and discs. Floats are copper-plated steel or optional stainless steel.

SUBJECT; INSTALLATION AND REPAIR ^-pnmuiNG"
Installation of plumbing includes toilets, sinks, showers, hot water tanks, water coolers, septic tanks, sewer lines, water lines, etc. In this line of work extreme care must be used because of the type of material with which you are working. Toilets and sinks must be secured properly. Septic tanks and sewer lines must be laid one-eigith inch drop to two feet of pipe to get proper gravity flow and still float the material away.
Repair of plumbing consists of plugged sewer lines, valve gaskets and corrosion to water lines. To unplug a toilet, use a plunger or plumber's friend. If this doesn't clear the line, use a plumber's snakej this will unplug the line. To replace valve gaskets, remove valve bonnet and put in new gasket.

SUBJECTS INSTALL TUBING
Tubing should be installed in tubing channel whenever possible. If not possible, it should be run on or in some type of hanger that runs the entire length of the job.
Tubing must be cut square and reamed out on the end after each cut. Care should be taken when making tubing eonnee= tions that tubing is sufficiently in connection. When tightening connection, use backup wrench because tubing will twist or crimp. Also, it will' do this when putting tubing in hangers, so handle very carefully.

SUBJECTS STEAM RADIATORS
`
A. REMOVE
When removing a radiator, secure a scaffold and rigging before disconnecting. There is a flange at the top of the radiator, from which the bolts must be removed, and a union at the bottom of the radiator. There are two hanger bolts that hold radiators in place. After the rigging is in place, the hanger bolts may be re~ moved and the radiator taken out.
B. INSTALL
When installing a radiator, clean flange and union surfaces, use the proper gasket and reverse the procedure above.
C. REPAIR
Radiators usually leak in the soldered fittings on the
coil inside the radiator housing. If so, it will be necessary to
completely take the raditor apart to repair the leak. Put a test
cm the radiator to locate the leak. Then clean the ares thoroughly
and resolder.
.
Sometimes radiator headers develop holes. If this happens, cut a patch to cover the hoxe and have it welded on.

A. REMOYE
The removal of Ohmart level controller is done right after crude unit is brought down for test and inspection.
There are two bolts left in the manway, remove them and open manway as far as possible. The Ohmart level controller is bolted to the manway by a two-inch flange,. This requires two men. One man loosens bolts while the other holds the controller, which has handles. Be careful not to touch upper part of controller. Take the controller out and let it down to the slab by rope. Keep it at arms length. Put controller in container and take it to
storage room.
B. INSTALL
Installation if done -fter the decarbonizing tower is ready to be put back in operation. Be sure gasket surface is clean and put a new gasket and bolts in. Then reverse procedure above.
It is important that you read and understand Standing

When installing field pumps, get the right pump fqr the
job and the right equipment to haul the pump to the Job site. You
can get piping and fittings for suction, discharge and steam supply . =
from pipe storage area south of the airstrip.
,
^
.
It is best to hook up suctiori piping first and then. the.. v.
discharge. The steam supply to operate the pump is the biggest Job because it is necessary to run from 50 to 500 feet of piping to get. to a steam supply sufficient to run the field pUmp. When running the steam supply, run a large enough pipe to steam whatever you, are hooking the pump to. A two-inch pipe Is usually sufficient.

. ture when using the machine, has a maximum working pressure or temperature rating less than that specified above.
G. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
.
(1) Select the correct drill for the size tap to be made.
CAUTIONS When drilling through schedule 120 or above nipples, a smaller size drill must be used. Examples
When drilling through a 1" schedule 160 nipple a .3/4" drill should be used. Test drill to make sure the drill adapter end will go through adapter nipple.
(2) Travel of boring bar is l'" - 2".

, ) Assemble drill to holder, making certain that parts are" tightly assembled. Drill has flats for tightening with crescent wrench,
(4) Be sure that length of nipple plus tapping valve is short enough to permit completion of tap in boring bar travel.
(5) Attach combined drill and holder to boring bar, then attach
machine adapter and gasket to drilling machine body. Tools are attached directly to boring bar by means of screw threads and . butt against the square shoulder of the boring bar.
' (6) After tools are attached, use the torque rod to retract the
boring bar into the body of the machine. Make sure/drill Is
Retracted far enough to attach machine adapter to closed valve `
op line to be tapped. (Screwed or flanged).
. .
(.7) Using special grease, lubricate drill bit and then attach
drilling machine and adapter to closed gate valve (screwed or 'Hanged, whichever, the case may be). Make .sure all connections : are tight and bleeder valve is closed.
(8)_ Open gate valve, after determining pipe thickness., advance tool-to the surface of metal to be cut. This can be done with ratchet handle. Set indicator rod to show travel required to .complete cut,
. TAPPING OPERATION
.-
(1) Hand operation - automatic feed of tools when hand
'
operating the machine is accomplished by positioning the
torque rod into the gear case socket and also into the torque -
rod socket. This prevents rotation of the feed gear case.
Rotation of boring bar automatically feeds tools at a rate of
l/80th of an Inch advance for each revolution of the ratchet
handle or boring bar,
'
(2) If a packing leakage should occur around boring bar after drill has penetrated the metal surface, operator can eorapj^fg drilling operation if leak is slight, or completely retrf|#~ boring bar and tighten packing.
(3) To tighten the packing nut., position the feed tube to almost its upper limit. This permits alignment of the 3/8" hole to the feed tube with the corresponding holes in the packing nut. Insert wrench (found oh end of feed indicator rod) and pH ace it in packing nut hole. Thi3 permits packing nut to rotate clockwise for tightening by turning the feed tube.
(4) If it is necessary to retract boring bar completely, mark location of feed Indicator rod oh feed tube before retracting. Leave indicato^r'rod location stationary which will locate position of tpdl in cut after packing is tightened and drilling r^p^med.
Use "MARFAX" No. 2 '

The Plidco Hot Tapping Saddle is an adaptation ofthe Plidco Split-Sleeve. It is used for hot taps where sur
rounding conditions do not permit the immediate instaljation of a welded branch (including underwater tie-in to existing pipe.line.)
With full branch connections, Plidco Hot. Tapping , Saddle can be utilized for tapping a hole large enough to
permit plugging-off the main pipeline. A line break can
thus, be isolated and bypassed, using two plugging taps: and'maintaining service through a bypass..
Available with full-size branches and in any range of sizes and pressures with threaded, welding or flanged, outlets. Buna-N packing standard. Silicone, Viton* and asbestos available, as well as neoprene. .
After repairs are completed and oil-soaked earth is
cleaned up. Hot Tapping Saddles may be permanently welded to pipeline if desired. . .

instruments are purchased-pre-cleaned and certified
' compatible for oxygen service$ these elements are not to
.fee Installed until final equipment assembly. Valves should
: be Installed, but without seats, gates, discs and other
. removeable parts. '
'
' e.HYDROSTATIC TESTING: Each section of the line should, be . subjected to a hydrostatic test,
. ' using, clean, oil free water. The test pressure should be
1.5 timeB maximum operating pressure. The system .should ; be filled with city water or other oil free water, then '. pumped up to test pressure. This should keep pump grease
' . from Entering the system.
... After test is completed, the system should be " degreased by washing with trichlorethylene.
d.NITROGEN TESTING:Nitrogen should be used in place of
. water, if available. The test pressure shall be 1.1 times maximum operating pressure. When testing with nitrogeh, make sure proper fittings and gauges are checked out from main tool room. A ball
. check valve shall be placed In line between- nitrogen supply and equipment being tested.
\: e.DEGREASING OXYGEN LINES: The system should be .degreased -. by washing with trichlorethylene
solvent followed by oil free hot water, then blown dry
rS . using warm dry nitrogen.
' .
' The- valve parts which were removed should be
individually degreased with trichlorethylene solvent. The
- valve parts should be thoroughly dried, reassembled without
