2007年12月10日 · One example of this is a Pressure Safety Valve (PSV). Up stream of the PSV there is a design condition with a higher pressure normally requiring a higher "spec". Down stream of the PSV there is a flare collection system (or atmosphere) with a much lower design condition. Therefore there would be a "spec break" at the downstream side of the PSV ...

2011年11月15日 · If you had a system that was welded with a pressure spec break, I could see installing a set of flanges to allow the high pressure and low pressure systems to be independently hydrotested. In fact, in this case, the high pressure/low pressure spec break would occur at this set of flanges rather than at the outlet of the high pressure valve as ...

2003年4月16日 · Spec break is required to be defined when, 1. Operating parameters are changed like pressure and temperature. Let down pressure control valve is an example where rating of the downstream flange is determined by the specified pressure in the line after the let do

2008年9月29日 · The spec break will occur on the piping not the flange. For example: line of spec A--flange--valve--fl ange--line of spec A--spec break--line of spec B. This way the flanges of the valve will be the same. Both at higher spec.

2016年10月23日 · It is a valve like any other valve. For example, let's say there is a piping specification break from 300# to 150#, on the isolation valve (e.g. manual ball valve, for the sake of illustration) downstream of a control valve. The spec break valve in this case would be rated for 300# and the valve's downstream flange would be attached to 150# piping.

2008年2月13日 · A minimum flow from a high pressure pump back to a low pressure vessel is controlled with a minimum flow valve. This pressure loss over the valve is 90 bar. Upstream the valve we have #1500 piping class and downstream it will be #150. We have a spec break over the valve. Now, we need double...

2008年9月30日 · Spec Break is alwas occur in flanges Valves. EX.If the spec break is occur between 150 and 300.Now the PCD of flanges are different for 150 and 300.So its diffult for bolting.In site how... CR4 - The Engineer's Place for News and Discussion ®

2013年12月2日 · On the other hand the potential for asymetric wear on a non-return valve is much lower. I'm OK with a verifiable check valve manifold as a spec break because even if both leak, the PSV will protect the vessel from overpressure (and I see the probability of leakage of both NRV to be the same order of magnitude as an ESD leaking). David Simpson, PE

2007年12月20日 · Design issues as mentioned above were considered and the only issue I had was whether or not we were violating a code issue with the spec break/lower design temp on the temporary piping, the new design temp is still above the max operating temp so we still have better than a 20 deg safety margin on the temperature, which is acceptable to the owner.

2002年1月29日 · The original poster did not define the reason for the Spec Break but implied it "always" had something to do with a High Pressure system. Pressure is not the only reason for a Spec Break. Some Spec Breaks are due to a change in material but not a change in pressure.
