The Pipe Department is one of several departments of Puget
Sound Plant whlon cornea under the jurisdiction of the Assistant Plant
Manager.
N
The Supervisor-Maintenance is in charge, of the planning, scheduling and execution of work -involving all the maintenance depart ments of the Plant ineluding 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, valveB 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
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 reaponslblity
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.

SUBJECT: DEPARTMENTAL AND PLANT HOUSEKEEPING
DEFINITION: The terra "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. .
TfflRFONSiBiLITY: 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
reflnerv, there is a number of "Housekeeping Practices" which are
emphasized 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 be allowed to accumulate but should be
cleaned up and av'ni>e,,jents mad^ !
it hauled away. Sal-
vag'e'able. materials' sh'Or 'd be neatly piled until they can be
hauled 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.

ITEM NO. Ar-L 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 aw,-TM feint? 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.
(*) 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 Btiek 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 gi'aphlte 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 topi 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 caseB, 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 so 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 OP PORTABLE POWER TOOLS:
(l) Pbrtable 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 MAIN TOOL ROOM FOR REPAIR
AND INFORM TOOLKEEPER.
.
SAFETY?
(1) Do not use defective tools.
(2) "S" wrenches or light wrenches of any '-"'nd 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 wi'ench, be sure it fits properly and in applying force, push or pull evenly and steadily, otherwise, a sudden jerk or slip may cause Injury.
(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 anyload greater than its safe working capacity. Inspect carefully befoi'e 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 laduer ... climbing 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.

Note t Sub-claBsifieations 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.
b. 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 n<w'i*tely 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 vslves 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.
WA-TEX 001230
ITEM NO. A-13
TRAINING DETAILS
PAGE 25
(5) CAPTION; It la 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 down 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 erroslve effects in the disc.
CAUTION; 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
(1) Fluids can flow through check valves in one direction only, preventing back-flow when desired. There are only two basic
types of check VBlves, 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 check valve as compared 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 VALUES
(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 selfprotecting 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,
SLIDE VALVES
(1) The mechanism of the slide vsIves at the PCCU is maintained by the machine department,

(b) Weight is determined by wall thick: ess. (c) Piping is made in a wide variety of materials for an equally wide variety of services. These materials range from clay soil pipe through various metals and allojrs to plastics and fiberglass.

() Pipe sizes up to and including 12" are known by the inside diamter (l.D.) which is referred to as the "nominal pipe size," Above 12" the pipe size is deter mined by the outside diamter (O.P.).
(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 Seh. #40, Sch. #80,. or Sch. #160, Standard pipe up to 10" Inclusive, and Sch, #40 pipe have the Bame 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.
() 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
(1) 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.

(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 3-1/2" X 1/2" 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.

are provided with pipe clamps; 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 bo 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 180 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 l8o bends on heaters are stamped with a number corresponding with the tube number. These numbers should be installed looking up.
(T) Flanged sittings
(a) Most of the flanged fittings (excluding valves) 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 injibp
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) Victaullc 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 victaulic 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
(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) Copaltlte
(a) Copaltite is used on gaskets on flange or exchanger heads when leaks are very difficult to stop.
(4) Permatex
'
(a) Permatex #1 is used for forming a hard gasket.
(b) 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 uni* 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.
"*
(6) Flange Insulation
Insulated gasket, sleeves, and washer sets are used to
prevent galvanic corrosion caused by static electricity.
They are installed as shown below.

MATHEMATICS
a. INTRODUCTION; The following mater'IFT'Eas'been developed
to give the craftsman a working knowledge of mechanical
and construction drawings., elementary mathematics* Bills of
Material and field sketching.
The craftsman'in 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 part, of the craftsman's work.
Practically everything that is c-. nstrue tv.-:l 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,
b. FUNDAMENTALS OF READING AND INTERPRETING BLUEPRINTS TO-im'CHPrsi----------- ----------------------------- ---------- ---
CD Blueprints - what they-ares A blueprint is the
reproduction to scale of a draw:! ng which has been prepared by the engineer or draftsman to provide the work-' man with a description of the shape and r.iro of nn object, and other details essential to it.* const r-onv in such a form as to be easily recognizable by anyone familiar with a blueprint. Blueprint is actually a misnomer, as they may be black ar<X white, brown and white, or blue and -white. At Puget Sound Plant, the prints used are technically not blueprints. However, blueprint or print Ir. r. commonly accepted term for both types of reproduction!'.
Blueprints are actually the language of .modern construction. They provide an excellent means whereby t.he 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 other1 country, or in some other section of this country, or in romo industry.

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 '.nstead 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 exaot 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 he held
responsible for a drafting room error.
(3) Drawing Paper and Sizes; To better understand
prints and their 'origin, it la 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 drawing or where permanent
records are unnecessary. For example, simple 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* proceeding the drawing number as well as by actual measurement. A 'D* size drawing is 22" x 38", a 'C* drawing is IT" x 22", a SB* size is ll" x 17" and an *A* drawing, is 8-1/2" x ll". Sketches are drawn on 8-1/2" x ll" 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 Blueprint; In making a blueprint the
"working drawingswhether 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.

The blueprint is ma- e as f ci-iows;
PAGE 41
(a) The-workir-' h'cv.i ng i placed over blue-
print paper.
` '
'
(b) A strong electric arc light or sunlight is focused through the tracing paper..
(c) Th'e inked or pencilled lines keep the light from parts of the blueprint paper, whleh
changes color everywhere except where there are markings-or lines on the original dravjdng.
()' 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 made 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 s 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 importance of taking proper care
of the blueprints in his possession.
There are several things to remember
,
-(a) If the-print is rolled'; re-roll it after use. Do not fold a rolled print.
(b) If the print is folded, fold it as it was originally. Do not fold it opposite the orIg,lnal'~foTd or crease.
>
' (c) Do n&t leave exposed to sunlight when. not in use, or for any great length of'time - sunlight will cause fading.
'
(d) Do not get prints wet.
.
(e) Do not mark up prints with pencil, ink
or crayon,'unless given permission to
do so.
`
Prom the foregoing it can be seen that blueprints are relatlvelv expensive to oroduce. 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 Drawingss
'"
. _ . TaehtiflcatIoh'Far5rawlng"makes it necessary- to "*
provide some means of showing what 31 represents, the _ .
Company name, initials or names of the persons making the
drawing, cheeking 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.
'
(T) Alterations or Revisions: Alterations or re.yis3.onc of drawings must frequently be made due to some
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
objecWare"drawn full size 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 sixes 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 property r-n to the actual
size is the device used by the draftsman to provide a
readable print and is known as 'drawing to scale*. (Fee
Figure 3)
, The foot is the most common means used as a basis for establishing the scale to be used 3n 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" = 18 ~0" 3 1/4" = l'-0" or
1/8" => l'-O". Some drawings are draw-* to no particular scale- to speed the draftsman's work slui 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 occurs, 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.
-
(c) 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 craftman 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; A"Tsobvious, lines play^rPImportant 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 Bhown as follows:
(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, full lines, solid lines, object lines, visiFle boundary"lines, otc.
I WA-TEX 001252
WA-TEX 001253
ITEM NO. A-3.4
TRAINING DEJAILS
PAGE 48
(b) EXTREMELY .HEAVY THINKS - used to differen tiate between existing facilities and new installations. ThiB is done by the drafts-
man so that the craftsman can readily pick out .he work to be done in an existing system.
\
(e) DASHED LINES - or "dotted" lines as they are better kno\i, are used to represent Invisible
' surfaces or edges which cannot be Been.
(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 dram 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'canuot 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 writing out on the drawing all Information necessary to show the kinds of material, thread, finish, measurements, and other detail.
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 understating of the particular
object. When this happens, a sectional '
drawing is made.
w
Sectional drawings-generally show a part'
_ 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 GUTTING 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 necessary 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 depleted,
the cross-hatching is always in the same
direction. (See.Figure 6)
.
Some objects, such as bolts, nuts, screws, keyB, rivets, oil cups, pipes,'pulleys, etc., are seldom cross-hatched when shown in conjunction with a sectional view drawing.
(c) Ccnventioml Breaks.; Quite frequently, the
heecf'arl'sesV due to 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 SHOWN ON THE PARTS OR AN OBJECT WHICH HAS BEEN "BROKEN1' ARE THE ACTUAL LENGTHS - ALWAYS,'
(d) Other Symbols and Markings?! As has been stressed several times, ,ne 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 5?),,
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 OF 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 Planss 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 objecwith "itsparts 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)
(d) Schematics; A schematic is a line drawing, 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 aaid instrument work. (See Figure 11)
(e) Conventional Working Drawings: The interpre' tation of prints "depenHF'primarily on the
ability of the Individual to translate a view or a series of views. The following aro types of projection drawings;
1. Perspective Drawings; A picture of an oEJec't' as it would normally 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; tiie" 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 Drawing; Oblique drawings are coristructed'"on three 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 Drawings 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 Drawing; The most important type of drawing in"the petroleum industry today . is the isometric drawing. Three viewdrawings are sometimes rather complicated,
thus this more pictorial type of drawing is used (See 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
isometric line. Any other line on the
drawing is a non-isometrlc line. Such
lines will not show in their true
length* as with non-isometrlc 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 of an object* whether, length* wicTBh* 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.
.

PAGE 66
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 elsewHbre between the dimension '
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,1/4"
3/8% etc. or as decimal fractions, 0.25, 0.375j> 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 characteristicof' what the object
looks like. (See Figure 13).
,
(b) Bill of Materials 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
an 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).

(f) The number of pieces and a brief description . of each kind of material to be used on the
Job and* in many cases* the dimensions.
(g) Whether materials are to be fabricated in the shop or to be purchased pro-fabricated.
o. MATHEMATICS REVIEW FOE THE CRAFTSMANS In all crafts ` some^typi^of^maBh is useST-whether "ft 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.
Cl) Fractions; A fraction Is a numeral with two 'Baslcpartsi 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 2/4=l/2* 8/3=1* or 6/8=3/4=12/16,
(b) Like fractions - fractions with-similar denominators* such as 3A and 1/4.
(c) Unlike fractions - fractions with dissimilar denominators* like 2/3 and 3/8.
(d) Common.denominator - a denominator which can be common to all fractions to be added or subtracted,
(e) ^ Lowest terra - the simplest form of a " fraction. Addition of like fractions is simple. The numerators are Just added . together and placed over the common , denominator* then the result is reduced to
' its lowest termB.
EXAMPLE;
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" = 1-2A
2/4=l/2* thuB 6/4"=l/2n
fwt_ -T73AV
The overall dimension Is 1-1A"

PA TS 69
Addition of unlike fractions is more difficult,,
for a common denominator must be found* For
example, to add 2/3 and 3/4 the common denomin&rcr
is found by multiplying^he denominators together*
Thus, 2/3 + 3/4=? can be solved by finding.the
number of l/l2*s in 2/3 and In 3A and adding
.
them together* There are 8/12 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 denomina
tor *
If two or more fractions are to be added together, such as 3Atl/8-t-l/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 ia divisible evenly by all of the denominators. Thus,
3/4-S/8, i/8=l/8, and l/2=4/8. Not? that a common
denominator has been found, the fractions can be added. Then the sum of the fractions Is r5/3-KL/8-t4/8=11/8* Reduced to lowest terms the solution
becomes 1-3/8*
Subtraction of fractions is done in much tho same manner, as a common denominator must be found before subtracting*
EXAMPLE;
In Figure B, a missing dimension is'
needed* To find the dimension, ono fraction must be subtracted from the other*
7/8"-9/16"=? Since 16 is divisible evenly by both denominators. It Is
the common denominator*
already in Its lot-root terms.
(2) imaxss Another type of numeral denoting a part of
a number that Is less than one is called a decimal.
Examples of decimals are;
*2. = two tenths
*13 ~ thirteen hundredths
*469 = four hundred oxtynine
thousandths
A fraction may be converted to a decimal by dividing the
numerator by the denominator, as l/2=*5* Then *5 is the same
as 1/2.
.
Decimals are added and subtracted the same as whole numbers. The only precaution to be taken is to keep the decimal' point's
aligned*

(3) Solving Right Triangles with Square Roots The following fomuias~'ari given to find the length.of any side of
a right triangle when the other two sides are known. A right triangle, by definition. Is any triangle that contains a 90 angle. (See Figure c)
b= VaTTc2
A= s/sP - Cg
g~ s/p ~ a2 .c
The symbol V ' ' indicates that the square root of the quantity within the symbol must be found. The small S 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 'squaring8 the number.
EXAMPLES Find the length >B when A15" and 0=2d'.
s/{.15x315) + (20x20)
= \/225 + 400
=V^5
B= 25s'
.
Squares and.square roots of whole numbers from 1 to 100 are
found in a table on pages l67"l69 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 b,e found. (See Figure D).
4) Calculating an Angles In computing piping offsets, the pipefitter will use the six trigonometric functions of
the angle of fitting. This calculation also makes use of the right triangle. (See Figure E)

Sine = 4/8 = 1/2 .5
Refering to the trigonometry Tables,
the angle whose sine Is <>5 is 30. Therefore,
, the angle of fitting is 30.

d. Additional Print Information for the Pipefitterx ' Tiie pipefitter will come In cVntaWl?S^'var$Sus types
of pipe drawings. Pipe is used in many plaeeB 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 io all that isnecei Ba^"oshow~mosfc 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)
(2) Drawings; So that a piping drawing
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.
I See Figure l6) NOTE; Figure 15 and Figure l6 are of the same
assembly.
.
(3) One Line and Two Line Drawings; Piping drawings using
<tHe"twoT3,ne system resemble The actual pipe Job more
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 t Anyone who has installed
.
pipefitHngs' arid valves"knows that they are complicated
pieces of mechanism. It will be readily seen that it is a
waste of time fof a draftsman to make complicated a working
drawing of every gate valve to be Installed in the field. The
draftsman kmfws that a gate valve is and so do.es a fitter, so
a note on a print is all that is necessary to convey 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 boen ,
agreed upon and accepted by engineers and draftsmen.

(5) Piping Detailsi Used primarily in the pipe and weld ' sKops* pipingdetail 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) Dimensioning* The dimensions on a piping drawing are
principallylocation dimensions most of which are
made to center lines* both in double and single line representa
tlons. 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 ,

SUBJECT;. MEASURING AND LAYOUT . METHODS AND TOOLS' ' J
a. MEASURING;
_
{!). Principles of piping measurements 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.
`
() The greater majority of piping jobs in a refinery will normally be replacement or addition to existing lines.
b. REFERENCE POINTS r~
(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 1/2 the outside diameter (OD) of vhe pipe.

(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 30 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)s

first and second Joints, setting the end on
22 and 32/32 Inches as indicated in Table'
above. The desired angle wi&l 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 lVPipeFitters and Pipe Welder's
Handbook" on pages 31, 32, 33 end 34.
(6) Patented bending machines are available and are-used to a great advantage, especially
for bending small pipe sises.
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 fits the outside radius of the bend. This helps
to prevent the pipe from flattening.
'"
The bending process is one involving skills that must "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.

SN33ECT-: TAKING FIELD MEASUREMENTS ----------------
a. FIELD MEASUREMENTS
(1) This unit; of instruction will' b<? devoted to the
illustration of various reference points from which
measurements are taken.
.
(2) As seen in Figure 1, the measurement "M" Is taken
from center to center., and 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 "M"
is a Face to Center measurement., "c" is a center to center measurement, but allowances would have to be made for the weld neck flange and welded ell already in place.

00 Figure 3, illustrates a measurement taken between two flange faces, which could be a
Face to Face measurement,
(5) In Figure 4, the welded ell dimension "F"
is deducted from the measurement "M" to determine the length of the cut "0", The dimension "F" is known as the "take off". The "M" measurement is a center to end measurement.

(6) Many variations of reference points will
be found in taking field measurements*
These 4 Illustrations show the basic measurements
used:
.
Figure 1 - Center to Center {& to &) Figure 2 - Center to Face (I to F) Figure 3 " Face to Face (F to F) Figure 4 - Center to End (SL to E)
.
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, l.e. (Pipe Fitters Manual-Tube-Turn* Welding Fittings and Flanges). (The Pipe Fitter's and Pipe Welder's
Handbook).

c. JOB PLANNINGt
(1) Before measuring or laying out a pipe Job* you ' should pick a route for the'%ew line. Be sure you have a clear path from starting point to finish point. Avoid running lines that will cause stumbling hazards such as, too low across aisleways* 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 outs 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.
CAUTIONS 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 cafe 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.
CAUTION: IT IS ADVISABLE THAT SLIP-ON-WELD FLANGES ONLY USED ON THIS .TYPE OF JOB. ONE TO THE INSIDE WELD BEAD ON HIGH HOB WELD FLANGES PIPE PLUGS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO EXTRACT FROM LINES.
d. JOB PLANNING-WORKING FROM BILLS OF MATERIAL AND PRINTS:
(l) Read the Bill of Material to be sure the proper fittings and pipe have been ordered to complete

PAGE 96
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. %
(2) In most cases, a print is provided with the *
Bill of Material. Read every detail Dn this
print, trace the lines out from starting point to
flniBh point to insure a clear layout path.
,
(3) After completing job, return all toolB, equipment and excess material to its proper
storage area. Glean up the job and leave It In a safe working condition
e. SCREWED PIPE AND FITTINGS; '
,
(l) In Figure 6, showing a screwed fitting, "F"
represents the fitting dimension and "M" the measurement.
(2) To determine take-off nTn, subtract "L" (thread make-up) from "F". The cut length
"C* is determined by subtracting MT" from 11M". (3) This principle applies to Installation of all screwed fittings.

(4) Pace to center measurements on screwed fittings as a rule are standard in.dimension by weight
and size. However; In some cases, fittings may vary alightly in dimension* The following tables are recommended:

V'\', `'Field dies are available In the Main Tool Room in four ` sises:' '3", &'V 6" and.-S'1. These dies may be manually , ` operated'with a ratchet handle or power operated with an , air-motor. Pipe to be threaded should be out square. Take i: offs for threaded fittings should be figured before threading
pipe;' All rust scale and dirt should be cleaned from the pipe at least 8" from the end. Each set of dies has a ' threaded nipple built into it to run the dies in and out# : One fend 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 r. ! enough travel to out the proper length of thread.
(3) .`l 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 . ... .. 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.

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.
1
(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 tool* 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 Khoeker motors. These lubricators should be checked and refilled several times each shift ' while being used.
Notet When using a power hack saw, use cutting oil on the saw blade.
(3) Pneumatic sump pumps should be suspended a &jn inches from the bottom of ditches and holes when phtoping 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 recepticles are located throughout operating
units to hook up power tools. Extension cords are - provided and may be found on electric storage pallets.

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 l/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 : on 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 ciittlng 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.
' . "c. CUTTING GASKET
`
'
' - ..(l) Cut a square piece of gasket material slightly larger ' than the OD (outside diameter) of the gasket to be
cut'. Locate the center of the piece of gasket material. Cut a hole in the center of the material with the hole
cutter provided, at the work bench. Cut off the corners . . Of the gasket material to within a slightly larger OD of
the gasket to -be. cut, TSet the measuring bar at 1/2"the Dnofvthe1 gasket'being'cut,- lock the guide in position.
Set the center hole-of the gasket material on the .
' measuring.bar-peg and Install hold down nut. (it is ' . recommended.that a measurement be taken from the cutter

USE HAND TOOLS `
a. CARE OF HAND TOOLS
(l) Knowledge of the proper tools to us and how to use
them is necessary to good handling of pipe ano
*
fittings. Select the right type and right size tool'for
each piping Job.
.
` (2) Wrenches are used on practically every piping Job, and If used improperly can cause serious damage to
materials and' tools. 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 OF HAND TOOLS
(l) The pipe wrench is designed for use on pipe and ' 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.
. , Notes 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.
(4) Open or box end wrenches and socket wrenches are
necessary when tightening flange bolts. It is
important to use the right size wrench since slippage is '
dangerous to personnel and damaging to materials 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.

SUBJECT: TIE KNOTS AND HITCHES
There are many different knots 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.
AND HOW TO TIE THEM
IN KNOTTING--A Rope Has 3 Parts
1. THE END is the end of the rope
with which yon 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
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
around an object--often another sec
tion of itself.
A ROUND TURN is taken by looping
the rope twice around an object, as
shown.
"OVER-AND-UNDER" SEQUENCE. In
tying a knot, whenever two sections of
the rope cross each other, one must go
over and the other, under. Be careful
to follow this "over-and-under" ar
rangement exactly--otherwise you get
either an entirely different knot or no
knot at alt.
-
"DRAWING UP" Once formed, a knot
must be "drawn up" or tightened,
slowly and 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 yams twisted together. THE LAY of-a rope is the direction in which the strands are twisted. Most rope is "right-laid" -- the strands
-HtCHTLAu* spiraling upward to the right--when you hold it vertically.
KEEPS ROPE ENDS FROM UNRAVELLING
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 strange of the rope are also whipped for the
same reason.
To make the whipping, a.fine yarn, marline or spun-
yam, 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 yam 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 bade out of sight Both ends
are then cut short to make a neat finish.' '

useSTOPPI& KNOTS
TO KEEP ROPE ENDS FROM SLIPPING THROUGH AN OPENING
End or Stopper Knots are generally tied to keep a
rope end from slipping ont 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.
thi 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.
we 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 ``fair' 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
THE SQUAREor REEF KNOT
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.
DOtS'T TIE 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

:USB LOOP: KNOTS
TO HOLD 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 aronnd 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. . .

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, sucb as logs, spars, etc., also in handling cargo, to hoist small crates and bales. It is used with one or more Half 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 very 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 u$@d. 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
Due allowance must be made for all variations and unusual conditions of operation of the particular sling application. As in ' all wire rope practice* the handling of the load should provide .a slow smooth start with no jerks* and the rate of acceleration and deceleration 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. IjSuch damage is done to slings
by carelessly attaching over rough or harP corners. Therefore* . suitable blocking should be used.

Measurement for Lengths of Rope with Fittings on the Ends
c
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 coders this specialty
more fully. Factors of safety may run from 4 for some special cases to 8 or more -- usually averag ing 5%,
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 case being the same.

The following illustrations give In detail the proper assembly of SafWay scaffolds anc accessories.
All planking mtost be of sound quality, rough grained and free from knots. Also it .-should overlap at least 12 Inches and be eleated at both ends.
[ WA-TEX 001344
t
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 calls 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 all scaffolds are plumb and level at all times.
Anchor running scaffold to wall approximately every 28' of length and 20' of height. Use additional core when using pulley arms.
5. Do not force braces to Fit. Adjust evenness of scaffold
until the proper fit can be made with ease.
'
6. Guard roiling should be used on all scaffolds regard less of height.
7. Use ladders 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 spans of greater than 20'. No putlog should have less than 12" of overhang at point of support.
10. Always use putlog supports where spans are greater
than 16'.
-
11. When using 16' and 22' putlogs in parallel, be sure to brace between them.
12. Do not omit or fail to tighten alt bolts and wing nuts that dre a part of the scaffold.
Horizontal bracing should be used to prevent racking of the structure.
14. All planking used on a scaffold should bo of sound 1 quality, straight grained, 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 care. (a) Towers of a height greater than three times the minimum -base dimension must be guyed at ail 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 o rolling tower without sufficient help.
if) Provide unit lock arms on all towers.
|g) Do not extend adjusting screws more than 12".
(h) Use 5" casters on towers under 36' in height and 8" casters on everything over 30'.
(i) Horizontal bracing is to be used at the bottom, top and at intermediate levels of 30 feet.
|j) Do not use brackets on rolling towers.
16. Guy all fixed rowers every 30' of elevation.
17. Do not 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 to ability of Safway to do a particular job,, sonsult 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 not rent or loan Safway equipment to others.
23. Do not permit Safway equipment to be used by any one not familiar with these rules.
24. Establish the location of overhead ELECTRIC POWER LINES on every job where scaffolding is to be used. CALL POWER SERVICE COMPANY FOR ADVICE.

Offers the useful 4' planking height re quired by many trades. Has 3' stud cen ters for braces.
F-6 Fiamt*
6'4" high, 5'0 wide
Offers normal standing height be tween platform levels. Has 4' stud centers for braces.
F-46 Frame 4'6" high, 5'0V wide
For specific use in those areas requiring a 4'6" planking height, i'6" stud cen ters take the B-73(S brace only, making a scaffold section 5' x7' x 4'<S" high.
. FO-5 Frame 5'0" high, 5'0" wide
Open end frame frequently used for straddling equip ment on inside jobs. Has 4' stud centers for braces.
Has G'7" head clearance useful for pedestrian pas sageways. FO-10 is de signed for two sets of cross braces with 4' stud centers. Where side clearance is re- quired, only theupper braces
need be used.

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.

for PIPE. TUBING, and CONDUIT when using TAL HYDRAULIC PORTABLE BENDERS
The following'illustrations, table, and 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 or linear figures for lay-out and marking on a straight length* It la 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.
nAH angle of bend "B" or l,C" distance to completed bend "H# 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 benas 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 where nAn angle
of bend is 90 degrees. Since 11LD represents the bend setting location
on a straight length, then since HDn represents the diameter of the
pipe or tube, and "R" the bend radius both are known. B" or "O1* are
also known since they locate the completed bend which Is governed by
your requirement.
L= B + x

The values for x and y are obtained from the Table on Page 3. Example;
A 2 pipe is to be bent. The radius is 8" (R), The distance to the bend is nBn = 10n or "0tt = i8n whichever can be determined most con
veniently. Then by finding x or y in the table and substituting num bers for the letters

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 mo3t 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 -pftmented.
t'
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.

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 be used with Schedule 80 or heavier pipe. The chief advantage of threading is the ease of disassembly it offers.

By taking advantage of the thermoplasticity o the materials, Cabot Piping Systems has perfect ed an advanced method of joining solvent-re sistant thermoplastics such as polyethylene, Pen ton, polypropylene, etc. The Cabot Piping Sys terns' THERMO-SEAL tool applies regulatei

Only hand pressure is needed fo join the components and as the material cools, , permanent homogenous bond results. ThTHERMO-SEAL tool may be used on a stan< for pre-fabrication or as a portable unit.
Flanging
One of the earliest methods for joining thermo plastic piping, flanging continues to be usee extensively for process lines. Thermoplastiflanges and flanged fittings are available in a ful size range and may be attached to pipe by solven cementing, by threading, or by thermal bonding as required by the particular thermoplastic ma terial.

constructed and how each operates. Illustrations are diagrammatic, and in no way present details of design. They are used to Illustrate in simple terms the basic design and opera tional characteristics.
Mechanical Traps
The mechanical trap differentiates between condensate and steam by virtue of the difference in weight be tween the two fluids. .
Open Top Float, Bucket Typo (Fig. 1)
Condensate flows into the trap at A, and is usually deflected downward by a baffle B. The body of the trap fills with condensate, and the empty bucket G is buoyant and floats up ward closing the valve C. The bucket is now at its highest position and as additional condensate enters the trap it begins to spill over into the bucket at D. The bucket then Alls to a point where it is no longer buoyant, and sinks, opening valve C. Steam pres sure at A then forces the condensate out of the bucket through C. The bucket again becomes buoyant and rises before it is completely empty so that a water seal is maintained at E to prevent escape of steam. On start up and frequently during operation this type of trap will become fflied with air which must be released to permit sufficient condensate to enter trap to make it operate. An air re lease valve F, usually manually op erated, Is necessary. This valve iB opened to purge air, but must be closed to prevent steam loss.
The discharge is intermittent and the trap cycles at Intervals deter mined by the amount of condensate handled per unit time. The weight of the bucket, which is a constant, must oppose the force created by the valve seat area multiplied by the operating pressure. The weight of the bucket establishes one of two limiting pos sibilities-- the maximum operating pressure for a given seat area, or the maximum valve area for a given operating pressure.
Inverted Bucket Design (Fig. 2)
On start-up, the open-bottomed bucket is resting on the bottom of the
trap body which meanB that valve B is open. Condensate entering through A drives air out of body through B. Air in the bucket escapes upward through the fixed orifice C in the bucket top. After residual steam in the bucket condenses, condensate ultimately fills the trap body and bucket, and discharges through B. If steam reaches the trap it displaces the condensate in the bucket, and even though a small amount of steam escapes through C, the bucket be
comes buoyant and valve B is closed, Ab condensate follows, a point is
again reached where buoyancy is lost,
and valve B again opens to allow con densate discharge in cycles. The size of the orifice C determines at a given operating pressure the air handling capacity. Steam loss through this orifice is determined in an inverse fashion. In some designs this orifice is
closed by a ample thermostatic ele ment which must bB sensitive to a small increment of temperature be tween hot condensate surrounding the bucket and steam temperature within. The weight of the bucket opens the trap valve B, and its buoy ancy when filled with steam doses the valve. As with the open bucket, the area of valve and operating ratios are established by the weight of the bucket.
Closed Ball Float Design (Fig. 3)
At start-up the float is at its Lowest position, and valve B is dosed. If there is a lot of air in the system, a manual vent F must be opened to allow condensate to fill the trap. Al most all ball float steam traps today are - equipped with- high capacity auxiliaiy air vents operated thermo statically or by other automatic means. These vents are designed to release air at temperatures approach ing saturation temperature so that they will release air on starting and during operation.
To prevent steam blow through the trap, valve B is usually covered by condensate before the float rises
to open the valve. The float rises in proportion to the amount of conden sate entering the trap, and so long as condensate flows to the trap, dis
charge 1b continuous. A bail float is sometimes guided so as to seal the
valve itself, but most often it operates a lever system as shown. Closing
power iB a function of the weight of the float; opening power is a func
tion of the buoyancy of the float com bined with the mechanical advantage
of the lever system when used. These factors combined determine capacity
and operating pressure ranges. The valve opening, at any load
within its rated capacity, is a func
tion of the rate of flow of condensate
into the trap (a function of the load, in fact).
Thermostatic Traps
The thermostatic trap differen tiates between steam and condensate by virtue of the temperature dif ference between the two.
Balanced Pressure (Metallic Bel lows) Design (Fig. 4),
These traps are operated by a
sealed thermostatic element, usually
called a bellows, having a flexible
wall of a metal suitable for the
operating conditions.
The wall thickness of the flexible
bellows is designed to give maximum
resistance to- the pressure differen
tials it must withstand and, at the
same time, maximum resistance to
fatigue.
The sealed element or bellows con
tains a liquid, which may be pure
water, a mixture of water'and a suit
able volatile fluid, or a volatile fluid
alone, depending on the character
istics of the element design.
One end of the bellows is rigidly
fixed to the trap body; the other end
has the valve attached and is free to
move. When cold, the bellows has a
length permitting valve B to be open
to pass air and condensate. As it be
comes hotter the bellows lengthens,
and finally at a temperature ap
proaching that of steam the valve is
closed.
t
Because of the lower boiling point
of the mixture inside the bellows, a
vapor pressure differential between
inside and outside is established just
before steam temperature is reached
in trap body. The differential pres-
WA-TEX 001389

jure causes expansion of the bel lows and closes the valve to prevent escape of steam. Condensate In the trap must subcool to a temperature where internal vapor pressure in the bellows balances that outside before the trap will again open. Vapor pres sure temperature curves for water and the mixture in the bellows are essentially parallel. This fact insures a positive differential pressure avail able for closing the trap independent of the operating pressure. '
Balanced pressure elements filled with pure water are expanded by the spring properties of the bellows wall.
Beuow straps are normally not recommended for superheat opera tion. Superheat creates excessive va por pressure and tends to rupture the bellows, Discharge from a bellows trap is usually intermittent. Where condensate formation and tempera ture are constant, continuous flow can result.
Balanced pressure traps do not need auxiliary air vents, for they are wide open when cold and freely release air up to temperatures ap proaching saturation.
Metallic Expansion Design (Fig, 6)
On start-up air passes through the valve B. Condensate follows and 83 it becomes hotter tube T (which forms a valve seat at one end) through which it is flowing, expands. This ul timately results in the seat being closed against the valve. The valve is adjustable to permit setting for clos ure just as steam temperature is reached. Such a trap has good charac teristics so long as steam pressure is constant. If pressure increases, the trap will close prematurely because closing temperature will be lower than steam temperature unless the valve is reset for higher pressure (and temperature) conditions. If pressure
decreases, the trap valve will not be closed when steam reaches the trap resulting in steam blow through the trap. In order to have appreciable ex pansion for valve movement, the metallic expansion tube must be long which results in an abnormally long trap. Discharge is continuous and at a set pressure, it can be set to dis charge at any temperature up to steam temperature.
Liquid Expansion Design (Fig. 6)
This type consists of a liquid-filled thermostatic -element which expands and contracts on a temperature dif ference between condensate and steam. Liquid is used to obtain greater expansion per degree of tem perature difference; thus greater valve movement and a more compact design is achieved than with metallic
expansion. On start-up air passes through the
trap followed by condensate. As con densate becomes hotter, the liquid in the thermostatic element expands. Piston B which is free to move slowly closes valve C against seat D as the liquid expands. The thermostatic ele ment is on the outlet end of the trap

valve, and as steam reaches here, the valve closes tightly. Gradually the element cools, contracts and opens the valve once more. It will continue to sample the medium entering at A; if steam is still at the trap the valve will immediately close, but if conden sate is there it will stay open to a de gree inversely proportional to con densate temperature. The adjust ment at F permits setting the trap to operate at a definite temperature.
This type discharges continuously except under light load when it has a sampling or intermittent action. Ca pacity is determined by both steam pressure and condensate tempera ture. It will close at a temperature below 212 F (assuming atmospheric, discharge).
Liquid expansion traps should be used only on applications where con densate can be held in the heating surface until it cools to below 212 F. Unless this can be done, a cooling leg must be provided between apparatus' and trap to provide subcoohng be tween the desirable condensate tem perature and 212 F.
Thermodynamic Traps
The operation of this type of trap depends on thermodynamic proper ties of hot condensate and/or steam as either or both pass through some form of orifice or orifices.
Impulse Design (Fig. 7)
Whether valve F is seated on G or open is determined by pressure in chamber K above disk L. In either position part, or (if valve is closed) ail of the condensate passes upward through the annular space between disc L and tapered cylinder D into control chamber K. This portion of the condensate is known as the con
trol flow, and the annular space is the first of the series of two orifices through which it passes. The second is the control orifice in the center of valve F, As condensate passes into chamber K and then through the control orifice into trap discharge, pressure is reduced. When hot water under pressure passes into a lower pressure it will flash to a greater or lesser degree depending on initial temperature and the pressure drop.
The degree of flash determines the pressure in chamber K; this pressure in turn determines whether valvo'F is seated or open. Cool condensate flashes little, chamber pressure is low, and the valve is open; this results in the trap floating on the load and passing cool condensate as fast as formed. The trap is designed so that condensate close to steam tempera ture will flash sufficiently to raise pressure in control chamber so as to exert sufficient differential pres sure between top and bottom of disk to close valve before steam arrives at trap inlet. Control flow through the two orifices in series continues at all times and represents only a few per cent of total trap capacity. This flow makes the trap continuously and im mediately responsive to slow or rapid changes in medium reaching trap.
New High Capacity Impulse Design (Fig. 9)
Recent, modification of the twoorifiee-in-series design of Fig. 7 has resulted pipe size for pipe size in a much higher-capacity impulse trap. This design incorporates the same two-orifice-in-series principle for con trol of trap operation. However, in this design 100 per cent of flow passes through the two orifices, instead of only a small percentage as is true with the original design of Fig. 7. In Fig. 10, the trap is shown in the closed position. The two valves, one . conically-shaped A, the other flat- . disk B, are mounted on a common valve disk which raises and lowers as a lever at a fulcrum point C.
When steam is turned on, upward pressure of air and accumulated con densate lifts valve A and simul taneously valve B; the mixture of air and condensate passes frorn line pressure at trap inlet through the

The operating mechanism _ of this
trap consists of a valve disc (A) mounted on a flat seat. This seat contains large inlet orifice (B), lo

into annular discharge space below seat. (One shown -- "C")
At start up, when pressure reaches trap, the valve disc tilts upward or rocks on its rounded fulcrum (0) edge, discharging condensate and
air at full capacity. This tilting action is produced by the off-center force exerted on the under side of the disc due to the off-center location of the
inlet orifice. As condensate nears steam temper

A from the seat to allow discharge of air and condensate at steam tempera
ture. Steam follows, and its high velocity creates low pressure under the disk and builds up pressure in
chamber P by recompression. This pressure in chamber F, acting
on the full top area of disk A, exceeds
the combined force of the incoming steam and that in the low-pressure
area, thus immediately forcing the disk down and closing the inlet. As
condensation decreases the pressure in the chamber, the disk is raised and

Valve remains closed until pres near steam temperature and pressure

certain amount flashes into steam by virtue of an excess of sensible heat at the lower pressure. The closer the condensate is to steam temperature, the higher the percentage of a unit weight will flash. Any orifice placed in the flow path of condensate will tend to regulate flow in inverse rela tion to condensate temperature.
Pig. 8 shows two designs. In one there is a labyrinth followed by an adjustable orifice A; in the second there is a series of orifices Ai, A*, A,, Ai, Aj, A,. The second design has an expansion chamber between each orifiea. When steam is turned on, air "cascades" through the orifice series, taking a pressure drop at each stage, but eventuaUy is discharged through the outlet. Cold condensate follows and also passes through. As the tem perature rises, flashing begins at a point determined by not only tem perature but also by clearances and expansion volumes. These last two factors are manually adjustable; if too wide open, no control is possible and even steam will pass through the trap. If the setting is too close, only cool condensate can pass. This design can be set to pass condensate just below steam temperature at a given pressure. At a given setting, if pressure drops, steam can pass; if pressure rises only condensate at a lower temperature can pass. Dis charge is usually continuous so long as condensate reaches the trap. Con densate pressure and temperature control the operation. Only a manual change in setting can upset these re lations.

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.
I. Pressure or range of pressure at inlet: Pressure and condensate handling capacity are directly related in all 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 given

lows traps (except where flow and
temperature are constant) and bucket
traps normally have an intermittent
discharge.
5. Required discharge tempera

die condensate at or very near to
steam temperature. Others require a
differential in temperature called
sub-cooling between closing on one
cycle and opening on the next. Care
ful review of a trap should be made
to determine condensate handling
capacity at various temperatures be
low steam temperature.
6. Back pressure in return system:
Increase in back pressure will nor
mally decrease discharge capacity
and in the case of some trap designs
such increase is a limiting factor oh
proper application. This detail should
be checked with the manufacturer.
7. Available space: Space normally
is not a factor, but dimensions such
as the length of a metallic expansion
trap may be significant.
8. Maximum temperature expected
at trap inlet: Bellows traps are not
normally recommended for use oii
superheat, which plaees significance
on maximum temperature to be ex
pected at trap inlet.
9. Installation cost: Cost is usually
insignificant when compared to the
savings a properly applied trap can
make. Certain types of traps that arc
comparatively large create excessive
installation expense.
_
10. Maintenance cost: Simplicity
of design, the number of moving
parts, whether a trap can be serviced
quickly under pressure -- all are fac
tors to be considered in maintenance.
Once the type of trap has been se
lected, condensate load must be cal
culated to determine trap sine. Trap
catalogs tabulate capacity-pressure
relations, and a study of such tables
shows that capacity generally does
not increase in direct proportion to
the pressure differential across the
trap. These tables will also show that
body and pipe connection size are not
true indices of capacity. In the case
of the impulse design the manufac
turer provides a very simple selector
bulletin. Trapsizes can be determined
quickly by using this selector without
the necessity of first calculating
amount of condensate. Load front
steam apparatus is expressed in lb per
hr of condensate formed. Load char
acteristics vary considerably. During
start-up load is heavy as air as well as
condensate must be removed in large
quantities. Condensate is forming at
a rapid rate during start-up because
all parts of the apparatus and con
nected system must be brought up to
temperature; and this condition usu
ally results in a lower pressure ?.L the trap inlet which reduces trap capacity when load is at Us maximum.
When the system reaches operating temperature, condensate forma! ion may be relatively constant, or it may vary considerably depending on the application. To compensate for some of these variables, a factor of safety must be used as a multiplier of calcu lated load to determine the final fig ure to be used as a selection from catalog capacity tables.
There are many methods to calcu late load, but generally calculations involve the use of formulas such as those listed below -- each formula designed for a specific type of appli cation --
(1) C = WSX Used for pressure vessels such as retorts, autoclaves, etc., where steam is applied directly to solid materials being healed. (2) C = WX + 970 (W-D)/L Used for dryers, platen presses, etc,, where steam loses its latent heat indirectly to solid material through metallic surfaces. (3) C = AY Used for pipe coils to heat air such as found in unit heaters and chamber dryers where steam loses its latent beat indirectly through a metallic surface. (4) C KAX Used for submerged surface where quantity of liquid heated is unknown. (5) Cl = GWSX Used for submerged surfaces where the quantity of liquid heated is known. Here steam loses its heat through metallic walls of coil or other metal surface submerged in a vessel when liquid is being heated. Cookers, heat exchangers, etc., where steam loses its latent heat indirectly to a liquid through a metallic surface represent the type of equipment involved here.

The formulae and data given above when applied to a specific problem
will produce condensate load. The load must then be multiplied by a safety factor before trap capacity tables can be used to size the trap. These factors vary between 2 and 5 and take care of variations in steam pressure, discrepancies between as
sumed and actual data (the latter of which is rarely known), unpredictable and abnormal operating conditions, etc. Generally a factor of 2 applies
to submerged coils discharging to gravity, and pressure vessels.
Dryers, pipe coils in air and sub merged surfaces draining to a trap located above the surface take a fac tor of -'i. Coils over which air is forced
usually take a factor of 5. Catalog recommendations should
be followed for the type of trap seh eii'd. ft is important to ascertain (be temperature base on which cata log (opacity tables are calculated. Since capacity decreases with rise in condensate temperature, the lower

6. A cleaning fluid is recommended for cleaning rust from trap parts.

(a) Close valve F tightly to pre vent return line interference.
fb) Open valve E. (e) If condensate comes out at G,
trap is draining. (d) At this point if equipment N
is not up to temperature, the trap may be too small or the strainer B
may be partially clogged. (e) If nothing discharges at G (no
pressure) there are three logical pos sible conditions -- inlet valve M is closed or blocked, line or equipment
between M and C is blocked, or strainer B is clogged.
(f) If nothing discharges at G with pressure at trap, the trap parts may be worn or defective. If a bucket trap is installed, pressure may be too
high, orifice may be too large for the ressure or venthole in bucket may

pressure too high. 7. If no "T" is available or trap
discharges as shown at "D" in Fig. No. 1, a "phantom" test is available
by using a contact pyrometer--an
instrument Used for measuring tem peratures of metallic surfaces. By taking a temperature reading on
cleaned surfaces at both trap inlet
and outlet, trap performance can be analyzed. The inlet temperature should be essentially saturated stearn temperature. The outlet temperature
should be lower -- the degree being partly determined by the type of
trap. Impulse traps for example dis
charge almost continuously very close
to steam temperature. On the other
hand, bucket traps accumulate con densate which is discharged inter mittently resulting in varying outlet
temperature. With any trap if inlet
and outlet temperatures are exactly
the same, the trap is blowing steam.
Fig. 2 shows a contact pyrometer in
use.
8. If a trap drains continuously at
constant rate, there is a good possi
bility that the trap is too smalt, or
apparatus being drained, if heating a
liquid, is ruptured and liquid is leak
ing into the line to the trap.
9. On observing trap discharge
do not confuse flash steam with
live steam. When the pressure of
hot condensate is reduced as it passes
through a trap, a certain amount of
this condensate flashes into steam
at the lower pressure. This is actually
a good sign of efficient trap perform
ance. Equipment cannot be kept hot
with cold condensate. No flash steam
indicates such a condition.
Most trap3 are Braall inexpensive
devices. If they are properly selected,'
installed and maintained, they can
contribute greatly to overall process
efficiency. Much large and expensive
equipment can only function effi
ciently by proper trapping. Thus
trap application assumes a much
greater importance than is indicated y the relatively small cost of the
trap when overall economy of equip
ment operation throughout a plant
is considered.

You can step up the performance of steam-using equipment by seeing that its traps are working correctly. Here are tips on their care
g>-TiUP manufacturers recommend that yon 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 . meat may operate all right, but much
steam is wasted. Routine or preventive maintenance is best answer to these conditions,
fgpiere's a plan that gives the maximum in annual maintenance. You can vary it to suit your needs. 'When you make spot checks of the traps, only portions of the program may he necessary.
Maintenance program. To get this'
program rolling, existing installations
may need certain changes. Though conditions vary. Fig. I, 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 overhaul 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 valye 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 he expected and learn the difference be tween live- 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, you 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 hacks 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 he properly drained. They should also check the size of the re turn lines when new equipment is added to 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 minutes with new equipment, the operator can turn out 14 batches in a 7-hr day. If the trap loses efficiency to the point where a batch takes five minutes longer, there is a lias of two batches per day. When a number of kettles suffer from this trouble, the loss in yearly production can be tremendous. And it all traces to
trap efficiency.
Best time to find expected efficiency 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, valve E, Fig. 1. (4) Measure return-line pressure, valve D, Fig. 1.
Take temperature readings with the
pyrometer, zeroing it in at valve A, Fig. 1. Set pyrometer to read the saturatedsteam temperature corresponding to line pressure. Take the readings on a clean
surface. Take another pyrometer reading at
the nipple ahead of the steam trap. It should equal or be close to the steam temperature corresponding to strainer
blowoff pressure. Third reading should be taken downstream of the trap. It should equal or be close to the sat urated-steam temperature at the con densate-return-line pressure. These
readings must be interpreted in terms of the size and type of heat-transfer area. Best equipment efficiency is ob tained only when the temperature ahead of it is equivalent to the temperature upstream of the trap.
Record and file the temperature read ings. Attach a colored tag ahead of the trap, showing the year the trap was in stalled in new, serviced or overhauled

condition. See diagram for other tag data. Temperature recording on the tag may be necessary only for critical pro duction equipment. When your files show a number of failures on the same equipment type, or at the same location, analyze the traps to see if they suit their job.
Starting 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 stiff in the pipe.
Trap overhaul. Use a shop test stand. Fig. 4. Overhaul the trap in the way the manufacturer recommends. Some times a thorough cleaning is enough

to bring the trap back to top perform* once. Each trap should be given On operating test in the test stand, as ex plained above After the test, tag the trap for its pressure rating, overhaul date and suitability for use. Place trap in stock with other overhauled units.
Radiator traps, usually the bellows
thermostatic type, should be checked during the summer. Keep a stock of replacement bellows on band. Check old bellows on the t'fest stand.
Accessories. While checking trap
efficiency, it is good practice to look oyer the installation to see if any of the following accessories are needed.
Dirt leg, at A, Fig. 5, is easily in stalled using a tee and capped nipple. It will catch most of the sediment form ing in the steam line and the equip ment cavities. Clean the leg when trap is serviced.
Air vent on the equipment trapped often gives-better operation, steps up output. In Fig, 5 the area lo3t to heat transfer when a vent is not used equals the product of D.and the inside circum ference of the kettle. Using the air vent greatly reduces the cooking time,
Vacuum breakers are used where temperature-control or motorized con trol valves are employed. In Fig. 5 the control valve closes after the procest is up to temperature. Steam in the . jacket condenses, creating a vacuum. Without a vacuum breaker the conden sate does not drain out of the jacket for a prolonged period. Some traps may lose their prime without a breaker.
Chock valves ore important, prevent-
'ing the discharge from one trap backing up into that of another. When conden sate from a trap most be lifted, a check valve should also be-used, as in Fig. 3. While manufacturers recommend indi. vidual trapping of equipment for most units, check valves should be selected where individual trapping is not pos sible or group trapping must be used Install a check valve in the discharge line from each section of the steam-con densing equipment, ahead of the trap.
Fig. 6 shows the standard bypass ar rangement. While the original idea of the bypass is good, too often an opera tor bypasses the trap, thinking he con increase production. If the safety factor for the trap is too low to allow the trap
to itandie.the start-up load, the bypass
can help. But if it is left open, it wastes steam. And if left fully or partly open, it either backs up condensate or wastes steam because a fixed orifice cannot handle variations in steam pressure and condensate load. Opening the bypass wide makes it impossible to maintain maximum pressure in `the equipment, reducing production capacity.
Today many major steam plants do not use a bypass. On outside installa tions the trap can be bypassed by using the strainer biowofi. This acts as a sig nal, too, indicating the trap is out of service. If a trap cannot be spared while being serviced, it is advisable to use the double-trap bypass, Fig. 6, The additional trap often pays for itself in a few days, compared to standard by passing.
Waste heat can be recovered from flash steam by a heat exchanger. The heat can be used to raise the tempera ture of boiler-feed water, hot-water heater feed, or any other preheat serv ice. Recovering this heat improves plant efficiency.
Routine maintenance of traps can save money. Why not set up your pro gram today?

In the Armstrong Steam Trap an inverted submerged bucket opens and doses the discharge valve. More is involved than the overly simplified statements, "When the bucket is full of condensate it sinks and opens the valve" and "when the bucket is filled with steam, it floats and closes the valve." These half-truths do not do justice to inverted bucket trap operation. Let's do a little homework to see what really goes or. in an inverted bucket trap.
What small b&y has not thiown an empty tomato can in the pom! and ob served that the can will float upside down because air is trapped in the cant And if he was a good shot with a BB gun a puncture near the end nf the can let out the air and the can sank in the bottom.
The inverted bucket in an Armstrong Trap is an engineered stainless steel tomato can. When the Irap is operating, the "can" is completely submerged in condensate. Under certain conditions the "can" is a float that will rlxe to dost: the trap valve. Other conditions make it a weight to sink and open the valve.
The Bucket is a Weight, is Neutral, is a Float
A No. 814 bucket, for example, weighs 24 ounces in air. When completely full oF and submerged in cold water the bucket hook, shell and east iron weight displace 3 oz. of wnirr. fin tin: hiickci then weighs 21 oz. This is I he maximum pull that the bucket can exert on the No, 814 trap lever.
Now if we introduce enough gas. air or steam into the inside f the bucket to displace 21 oz. of water, the buoyancy of tho gas, 21 oz.. will (Wacllv balance the submerged weight of die bucket, 21 oz. The bucket has noi'llu-c weight to pull down nor bunyaiu-v to lift lip. The lifjuid level inside the. hue! ft is at the neutral line.
Displacing more liquid with cis caust s the liquid level to drop In low the neutral line. The buoyancy u! the gas will ex ceed 21 oz., so the bucket will rise and lift the valve to its sv.it.
Thus our engineered stainless steel tomato can is n weight, is neutral, or is a float. Hooked on to the valve lever in an assembled trap the inverted sub merged bucket will t !)-.( the valve or open the valve dvpending on the water level inside of the Iniekri.
How the Bucket Controls the Trap Valve
In the 0-15 psi No. SI4 trap the maxi mum opening or test pivssnre would he
Fig. 2-9.
1. Trap Is installed In drain line between steam heated unit and condensate return header. Bucket Is down and valve Is wide open. The initial flood of condensate enters the trap and flows under bottom edge of bucket to fill trap body and completely submerge the bucket. Excess condensate discharges through wide open valve to return header.
21 to 22 lbs., if the bucket were com-_ pletoly filled with water. There would be no margin of safety for higher steam pressures or for orifice enlargement due to normal wear. To insure long service life, the trap is offered for n maximum working pressure differential of only 15 pounds. Similar safety margins are provalcd in nli sizes and pressures of Armxlrniig Traps.
Obviously at 15 pounds working pres sure differential the full weight of the bucket is not required fo open the valve. Instead of the 21 oz. weight to open at 21 psig only a 15 oz, weight is required for 15 psig. Fig. 3-1 shows the water level-; in a No. 814 bucket required to upon itjo valve nt pressures from 15 psi clown to only 1 psi.

2. When steam reaches trap It collects at top ol 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. But the valve does not open until the condensate level rises to the opening line for the existing pressure diflerentlal between the steam and the condensate return header. (See Fig. 3-3)
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.
NOTE: While the drawings above depict side inlet, side outlet traps, operation of bottom inlet, top outlet traps Is identical.

valve) the trap operation changes char acter--it usually discharges continuously.
Continuous Discharge from Inverted Bucket Traps at Low Pressure
The terms "continuous discharge" and "Inverted Bucket Trap" will seem con tradictory to many trap users. But an inverted bucket tr.ip will discharge con tinuously at very low pressures or with very high back pressure.
Observation of a glass bodied/glass 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 the 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 jo 1 safely factor for .25 psi operation tin's size would be selected to handle 466 pounds or 7456 oz, of condensate per hour. This is slightly more than two ounces per second.
Fig. 3-1. Liquid levels In bucket for opening a %" orifice No. 214 or No. 614 trap at working pressures Indicated.
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 n second. The inertia of the bucket submerged in con densate prevents this rapid operation. So the bucket merely positions the valve to give the 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 veiy low pressure differ, entails.
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 close and will not blow steam duo to the high hack pressure.

B ARMSTRONG CAST IRON TRAPS FOR GENERAL SERVICEW DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
The Armstrong inverted submerged bucket steam trap is a mechanical trap
that operates on the big difference in density between steam and water. Steam entering the inverted Submerged bucket causes the bucket to float ana close 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 1811. In today's Armstrong traps this proven principle has been the 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.
"Frictionle33" Free-floating , Valve Mechanism
The heart of the Armstrong Steam Trap is its unique leverage system that multt^P|| plies the force provided by the bucket to *32? 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 capacity. 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 Farts
. . 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 10o0F, 2500 psig. Valve and seat are chrome steel hardened, ground and lapped. AH other working parts are wear and corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
Simplicity
Only two moving parts, the valve lever assembly and thebucket. No fixed pivots, no complicated linkages, nothing to stick, bind or dog.

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. COi Venting at Steam Temperature Fixed vent passes C02 immediately--there is no cooling lag that would permit COs to go into solution and form corrosive carbonic acid.
6. Operating Against Back Pressure Slnco 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.

How the Thermic Vent Bucket Works
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 SO to 100 times faster than n 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.

PHYSICAL DATA
capacities to 6,800 ibs/hr
Aimstrong traps for low pressure service have been developed especially for drain 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-op ana 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:
Preheat and reheat coils, .pages 30 & 31 Unit heaters.-..........pages 32 & 33 Water heaters...........................page 40
Table A-8. CAPACITIES, ARMSTRONG TRAPS FOR LOW PRESSURE SERVICE
Capacities given are continuous discharge capacities in pounds of condensate per hour at pressure differential indicated
Data based on repeated tests under opcrating conditions with condensate as close as possible to steam temperature.

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 these 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 ship 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.E&T. traps "fail open," n remote possi bility but an important safety feature.

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 die Nos. 811, 211 and 881 for pressures of 250 psi or Jess. 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

STEAM A T WORK, ,,. how the heat ofsteam is utilized
jtwi^TgMiiMLWynfaytfpgAaiWlgTOtt1*? F?rt'V''t2VSSi)Sn*nrnV*Y-~eT Jit
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 boiler pushes steam out of the boiler into the distribution system, the steam in the pipes will be at a nigher
100 psig 337.9F
temperature than the surrounding air.
Heat then flows from the steam through
the walls of the pipe to the air. This loss
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. Hero
the transfer of heat from the steam to the air passing through an air heater, to the water in a water neater or to the food in it cookingkettle is highly desirable. Noth ing should interfere with this heat transfer.

Condensate is the by-product of a steam system used to distribute and transfer heat. Condensate forms in the distribil- .. 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 he 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 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 CO*
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 boiler from dissolved carbonates that may be in the boiler feed water.

HOW TO WAP STEAM MAMS
PAGE
^^electton of trap sizes to drain steam Spains depends on. the warm-up method
that will bo used--Supervised or Automatfc. 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 takes no chances With such mains. , The "drip valves for free bbw to the
' atmosphere" as called for by die 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, tire 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 Tt-ap 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. Remember, 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. Rrovide 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 Wanning 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 load can be calculated using the following formula:
W X (tj -ta) X .1X4 C=
C = Amount of condensate
W = Total weight of pipe
(See -Table B-26 for pipe
weights)
.
t4 == Final temperature of pipe
t2 1=5 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 psfg to get pounds per minute, Mul tiply by 60 to get pounds per hour.
Step 3. Pressure differential for trap siz ing, will bo 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 ana select trap size from the chart on
page 26.
Example: "Automatic" warm-up load is
7SO lbs/hr at warm-up pressure of 1
psig. Final pressure is 125 psig. Refer to
the 1 psig column of Table C-20 where
you find a %o" orifice will handle 841
lbs/hr. Going up the 125 psig pressure
line of the charton page 26, you find that
the No. 214 or No, 814 trap can open a
%e" orifice. This is the size to use. '
The actual 841 -f- 750 or 1.12 to 1
safety factor in the preceding example
will result in a really-gencrous 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 ratherthan on storage capacity. Even 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_ A X U X-(tj -- ta) E
C -- Condensate in lbs per hour A -- External area of pipe in square
feet (see table on page 48) = Steam temperature, degrees F t2 = Air temperature in degrees F L = Latent heat of steam U = Btu per sq, ft. per degree tem
perature difference per hour from Chart A-27 .. E = I minus efficiency of insulation (Example, 81% efficient insula tion: 1 --.81 = .19 or E = .19
Safety Factors. Traps installed between the boiler and the end of the steam main: 2 to 1. Taps installed at the end of the main or ahead of reducing and shut-off valves that ore closed part of the time: 3 to 1.
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 oii these pages. Install a drip
leg if needed.

SIZING TRAPS FOR SUBMERGED EMBOSSED COILS
' ^TP&ttvwesnxT?tsas#tn*B*vi*tai&T>'r'r 'wim
Xn general the drainage of embossed coils is similar to the drainage of pipe coils of the 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
through 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
die 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 drcuit through channel 3 to dose 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 I and 2 reduces the heattransferrate and, therefore, thB pressure drop. Thus, ih. creased pressure in channels 1 and 2 will force out condensate and vent the air. Once purged the process will be re peated, -
Thermostatic Control. 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 cou 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. 85-3.
As the control valvp starts to reopen, incoming steam heats the air in the coil, causing the air to expand and build tip 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.

SYPHON DRASNAGE AND HOW TO WAP DEVOLVING DRYERS
When condensate must be lifted above Ae gravity drain point to reach the trap,. a syphon exists. Fig. 37-1 shows an ex ternal syphon -- one surrounded by air. Fig. 87-2 depicts an internal syphon -- 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 jaeessure drops above the condensate in ^gl&'phon pipe, flashing is likely to occur. jlery 28" rise in condensate level re quires a pressure drop of 1 psi. With .condensate entering the syphon at, say, 1S.3 psi a lift of 7 feet requires the syphon steam pressure to drop to 12.3 psi. Ignoring heat loss from the syphon
some 0.64% of the condensate would flash Into steam. (See discussion of flash steam~Toffrnition--on. the inside front cover.)
With condensing rate of 1000 Ibs/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 drainage'indiirate'the condensate ioad, 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 ns 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 tile 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
installed at ground level--an EXTERNAL SYPHON, After water seal fills with con densate, radiation loss will lower the steam pressure in the syphon.
Fig. 37-3. Oversize syphon. 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 pips sizo smaller than nominal trap size but not smaller than Vi") 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 for draining revolving dryers need enliirged 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 the diameter and length of the dryer, condensate load, if known, as well as the maximum and minimum steam pressures.

or about 68 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 os 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. Usually 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 be 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 Rap. As back pressure goes up, discharges become shorter but are more frequent. However, the Rap 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 Rap is decreased. In severe oases, the reduction in capacity could make it neces- saty to use traps one size larger to com pensate for the decrease in operating pressure differential.

TUm pips 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 Hoek-llps. 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-OffValves ahead of traps are needed
'' when traps drain steam mains, large wa
ter heaters, etc., 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.

-Unions, If only one is used, it should
bb on discharge side of trap. With two unions, nvoid 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 i$ 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 nnd 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 nnd half unionsj put 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 cheek valve or shut-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 hack 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 stopping scale and core sand. Clean periodically.
Syphon Installations require a wnter seal
and a cheek valve in the trap. Syphon
pipe should be one size smaller than'
nominal size of trap used but not less than
S" 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 slmtoff valve is used. Fig. 42-9 shows three
possible locations forexternal check valves --also an Armstrong Internal Check Valve
(See page 4). Recommended locations given below.
Discharge Line Check Valves prevent back flow and isolate trap when test valve is opened. Norm-ally installed at location B. When return line is elevated and trap is exposed to freezing conditions, install check valye 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 stenm is coming to the trap. If'the steam supply should be shut off, the trap should
he drained manually or automatically by means of a thermo drain or pop drain.

TROUBLE SHOOTING INVERTED BUCKET STEAM TRAPS :
^^'The following summary will prove help . .. ful in locating and correcting nearly all ' ..' .steam .trap troubles. Many ofthese trou-
' bles are in reality system troubles rather than trap troubles.
Whenever a trap fails to operate and . the reason is not readily apparent, the
discharge from the trap should be ob
served. If the trap is installed-with a test
- outlet, this will be a simple matter-other wise, it will be necessary to break tbe discharge connection,
. Cold Trap--No Discharge. If trap fails
to discharge condensate, then!
A. Pressure may be too high. . 1. Wrong pressure originally specified. 2. Pressure raised without installing new pressure change assembly.
3. K ft.V. out of order. 4. Pressure gage in boiler reads low. 5. Orifice enlarged by normal wear.
B. No water or steam coming to trap.
1. Stopped by plugged strainer ahead
@
of trap--or plugged strainer in Nos. 880-883 and 983 traps.
2. Broken valve in line to trap.
3. Pipe line or elbows plugged.
C. Worn or defective mechanism. Repair or replnce as required.
D. High Vacuum in return line. Increases pressure differential beyond which trap may operate. Install correct pres sure change assembly for pressure dif
ferential encountered.
E. .Trap body filled with dirt. Install strainer or remove dirt at source.
- Fig. 44-1. Venfrscrubblng wire for use when
pit plugs vCnt.' Trap inlet tube must be
'removed.
'
F. Bucket'vent filled with dirt;
Prevent by:
.
' 1, Installing strainer.
2. Enlarging vent slightly.
.
3. Using bucket vent scrubbing wire.
Vent Scrubber. If the bucket vent should
be closed by an oil film, either enlarge the vent or Install a scrubbing Wire. For vent enlargement, first try a No. 46 drill. If this is not enough, then use a No. 42 drill. Make scrubbing wire as shown in Fig. 444 to tbe length shown in Table A-44. Tho hole in the center rib of the trap should be %/'. Enlarge vent with No. 37 drill.

214-' 3' 5' 6!4
Hot Trap--No Discharge A. No water coming to trap.
1. Trap installed above leaky by-pass valve.
2. Broken or. damaged syphon pipe in syphon drained cylinder,
' 3. Vacuum in water beater coils may prevent drainage. Install a V" cheek valve as vacuum breaker between steam admission valve and coil.
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 vnlve parts.
B. TVap 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, Thrp too small.
'.
' l.A larger hap, of additional-traps should be installed in parallel.
2, High pressure traps mny have be
used for a low pressure job. Install
right size of pressure change as-'
sembly.
'' \\
B. Abnormal water conditions.
-
1, 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.mny discharge intermit tently. .Try next-size-Inrger 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, Inrgerthnn-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 (TVap 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 (TVap 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 tho 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
sHrequency. All traps should be opened
at least once a year to check operating
rneclmnism.
Valves and Seats. If the valve seat has a
sharp smooth edge, and if there is a nar-
- row bright ring nil the way around the
ball valve, chances are that the valve is
tight. Valves and Seats which haye be
' come wire drawn or badly grooved from
wear'should be replaced. Do not use a
new seat with an old valve or vicc-oersa.
Valves and seats are Factory-lapped to

.
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 tbrends, but rather by
the contact between the ground end of
the valve- seat and the beveled seating area at-the bottom of tile tapped hole,
See Fig. 45-1. Make sure-that this sent-
j||||g area is perfectly clean.

Tfaese traps, due to their large orifices, can be sized to handle unusual dirt conditions
not possible with ordinary float, traps but frequent blowdown or cleaning is advisable,
float traps may be damaged by surges of liquid which can cause float failure through col- .
lapsing of float. In cases ofthis type the trap fails in the closed position and the trap does not -
blow through.
--
Safety factor: A safety factor of Hi to 2 times the maximum load is recommended for the nor mal operation. Greater safety factors may be desirable to get the benefits ofoversized orifices. Oversizing float traps does not affect their operation as it does in other types of traps. See the capacity tables on the back of this folder.

When the float trap is placed below the level
of tbe tank or fluid line, the liquid flows con
tinuously into the trap and the float will reach a point of equilibrium, holding the
discharge valve open sufficiently to discharge the liquid at the same rate it enters.
MAINTAINING CONSTANT LEVELS 1

ClarkfloatTfapsmay be used tomaimainconstant levels in tanks and reservoirs. As liquid level rises, the float buoyancy increases. When the buoyancy
is sufficient to overcome the force exerted by
the gas pressure against the valve, die float mechanism will open the discharge valve.
Pressure then forces the liquid out of tbe
' trap, lowering the liquid level. As the level drops die float loses buoyancy and sinks to- close the dis- charge valve.

CLARK GLOAT TRAPS discharge as accumulated Jtquid flows by gravity into (he trap body, causing
ball float to rise and open the discharge valve. There is always a liquid level present at discharge over the 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.

"
Installation of plumbing includes toilets, sinks, showers, hot water tanks, water coolers, septic tanks, sewer lines, water lineB, 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 -eighth 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.

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 connec 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.

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 radltor apart to repair the leak. Put a test on the radiator to locate the leak. Then clean the area thoroughly and resolder.
Sometimes radiator headers develop holes. If this happens, cut a patch to cover the hoxe and have it welded on.

SUBJECT; INSTALL TEMPORARY FIELD OTPS----------------------------------
When installing field pumps, get the right pump for the Job and the right equipment to haul the pump to the Job site. You oan get piping and fittings for suction, discharge and steam supply from pipe storage area south of the airstrip.
It is best to hook up suction piping first and then the 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.

(f) Welders shall be instructed to apply a light bead of weld to start fcifch, gradually building up to required weld to prevent excessive heat,
B. LIME TAPPING
(1) A continuous flow of product must be maintained at all times during the operation to carry off heat,
C. PRESSURE TAPPING ON TANKS
(1) Liquid in the tank shall be at least two feet above the upper limit of the welding and tapping. Ho pumping shall be permitted in or out of the tank,
D. VESSEL TAPPING
(l) Liquid in the vessel shall be at least two feet above the upper limit of the welding and tapping. Mo pumping shall be permitted in or out of the vessel. In some cases when unit is down for T&I, a steam flow may be used in place of product.
E. WILLIAMS DRILLING MACHINES
(1) These pressure tap machines drill holes from 1" to 2" and
3n to 14" in any size or type of line or vessel. The drilling
^.operation may b done under pressure by using a valve between
the machine and the line; The valve 1b not required when there
is no pressure. Line or vessel must be steamed and gas freed
to drill without valve. This machine is hand operated and tool
must be fed by hand.
'
F. WORKING PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURES (1) 1200 P.S.I. maximum working pressure at 100F,
(2) 500F maximum temperature at 1000 P.S.I. The working pressure or temperature rating is reduced accordingly Sif' any attachment* valve dr fitting, subjected to pressure or -feggjge'fa. 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 1'" - 2".

` . ) Assemble Grill 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
'flanged* whichever the case may be). Make sure all connections : are tight and bleeder valve is closed.
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 comp^^ drilling operation if leak is slight, or completely retrfg#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 on end of feed indicator rod) and place it In packing nut hole. This 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 on feed tube before retraetI5g7 Leave Indicator rod location stationary which will locate position of $pdl in cut after packing is tightened and drilling r$$paed.

The Plidco Hot Tapping Saddle is an adaptation of the PJidco Split-Sleeve. It is used for hot taps where sur rounding conditions do hot permit the immediate in stallation 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.

* c.HYDROSTATIC TESTING: Each section of the line should be
.,
subjected to a hydrostatic test,
. '.using.clean, oil free water. The test pressure should be
15 times 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.
