Introduction

Lecture (1) –Thermal Power Stations – 4th year

The life estimation studies mainly focused on the

boilers and turbines of thermal power stations, but

the piping systems and its supports are over looked.

For the past few years it is recognized that the piping

systems and its supports also requires equal

attention.

Introduction

Lecture (1) –Thermal Power Stations – 4th year

The critical components of thermal power plants

undergo different types of material degradation

mechanisms such as creep, thermal fatigue, corrosion,

etc. during service at high pressure and temperatures

environments. Main steam and hot reheat piping are

considered as critical high energy piping systems in the

thermal power plant. These pipelines are used for the

transportation of steam in the thermal power plants

and are also used in transporting fluid or air in nuclear

power plants.

Design Basis

Lecture (1) –Thermal Power Stations – 4th year

For scientific design of piping systems:

1. Selection of proper material for construction,

2. Detail out the material specifications,

3. Knowledge of codes and standards.

Design Basis

Lecture (1) –Thermal Power Stations – 4th year

Codes

A code is basically a standard that has been

generally accepted by the government. The

objective of each code is to ensure public and

industry safety in a particular activity or

equipment. Codes are often developed by the

same organizations that develop standards.

Design Basis

Lecture (1) –Thermal Power Stations – 4th year

Piping design codes

• ASME B31.1 - Power Piping

• ASME B31.2 - Fuel Gas Piping

• ASME B31.3 - Process Piping

• ASME B31.4 - Liquid Piping

• ASME B31.5 - Refrigeration Piping

• ASME B31.8 - Gas Distribution and Transportation

• ASME B31.9 - Building Service Piping

• ASME B31.11-Slurry Piping

Standards

Standardization can and does, reduce cost,

inconvenience and confusion that results from

unnecessary and undesirable differences in

systems, components and procedures. Documents

prepared by a professional group who are believed

to be good and proper engineering practice, the

user is responsible for the correct application of

the same.
