hydraulic calculation

Document Type Information
Details and background about this document type.
Description
Calculations to indicate basis on which equipment is sized, including pipe friction losses, equipment elevations and terminal point static pressures. Includes 'net positive suction head' calculations and other steady state conditions. Also includes calculation of hydraulic surge (synonym 'water hammer') for the purpose of determining valve sizing, closing speed, etc.

Equipment
Equipment that requires this document type.
equipment class

A physical object for storing energy, and which after discharge may be recharged.

equipment class

An indirect contact heat exchanger that is intended to heat a liquid.

A butterfly valve that is equipped with an actuator that manipulates a stream of fluid in the response to a signal from an external sensing element and with input of energy from an external source.

equipment class

An enclosure that can maintain a pressure difference.

equipment class

A valve that permits fluid to flow in one direction only.

equipment class

Is a shaft (civil) intended to transport flue gas to a high location in the atmosphere. It may also be used to supply fresh air via a separate flue.

equipment class

A choke valve that is equipped with an actuator that manipulates a stream of fluid in the response to a signal from an external sensing element and with input of energy from an external source.

equipment class

A gravity separator where two liquid substances separates and where the substance with the less gravity can be skimmed off.

equipment class

A cooler that is intended to change a vapour to liquid.

equipment class

A valve that can be used to modify (regulate) the fluid flow rate in a process control system. It usually includes an actuator, which responds to a signal from the controlling system and changes the position of the flow controlling element in the valve.

equipment class

A cooler and an air cooled heat exchanger that is a tall structure through which air circulates by convection.

equipment class

A control valve that is intended to operate at high temperature, and admit water into a deluge system.

A diaphragm valve that is equipped with an actuator that manipulates a stream of fluid in the response to a signal from an external sensing element and with input of energy from an external source.

equipment class

A physical channel that acts as a conduit for fluids, gases, pipes or cables to transfer from one point to another.

A control valve that uses a rotating disc as closing element, and with a design that causes the disc to take a slightly eccentric path during actuation.

A separator intended to separate material from a solution or suspension by electrostatic charge.

A valve that is assigned to act in case of emergency.

equipment class

Flexible joint between two pipes to receive expansion from the pipes.

equipment class

A separator intended to remove solids from vapour or liquid.

equipment class

Is a fired heat transfer equipment intended to burn fuel and to transfer the heat of combustion to a liquid without vaporising the liquid.

equipment class

A physical object that is a projecting flat rim, plate, collar or rib.

equipment class

A system that burns waste in an elevated flame in the open air.

equipment class

A burner that burns gas emitted from a process into the atmosphere.

equipment class

A flexible vertical or near vertical pipe for the flow of liquid or gas between the seabed and the surface.

equipment class

A hollow cone with a tube extending from the smaller end and that is designed to catch and direct a downward flow.
