    FEQ Re Acid Pumps

    Uploaded by

    Okas Paskal
    The document is a field engineering query (FEQ) regarding leaking screwed drain connections on pump check valves in a sulphuric acid feed system. It asks if the screwed nipples can be retained using seal welding or if butt welded fittings are required given the system operates under pressures that may exceed design limits. It notes the materials can be welded but any seal welding of threads must fully cover the threads to comply with codes. It also states the drain assembly must be disassembled, cleaned, and welds will require non-destructive testing and hydrotesting with the internals removed.

    Query / Question :
    The screwed drain connections into the bodies of the pump check valves are leaking in operation. The system is fully
    butt welded and flanges are rated at 600#. It appears the system may be subject to pressures in excess of design
    pressure.
    Please advise if: (a) current operating conditions will allow retention of the screwed nipple with seal welding, or (b) if
    installation of a butt welded fitting, i.e. weldolet, is required.
    Note that the valve body and nipple materials can be readily welded with currently qualified welding procedures, however
    all seal welding of threaded connections must fully cover all threads to comply with code requirements. In either event
    for (a) or (b) the drain assembly must be disassembled for cleaning prior to welding, completed welds will be subject
    to NDT and hydrotesting of the valve with the internals removed is mandatory.
