Miscellaneous Piping Design Details

The flow of fluid leaving a choke is in the form of a high-velocity jet. For this reason it is desirable to have a straight run of pipe of at least ten pipe diameters downstream of any choke prior to a change in direction, so that the jet does not impinge on the side of the pipe. 

The full faces of flanges never really touch due to the gaskets or rings that cause the seal. The space between the two flange faces is a. cry 

Closed-cell flange protectors are much less expensive than stainl bands. However, if not installed properly they can actually accelerate c msion if a path is created through the material to allow moisture to en
