HEAT TRANSFER EQUIPMENT Std. 530 Calculation of Heater-Tube Thickness in Petroleum Refineries
Specifies the requirements and gives recommendations for the procedures and design criteria used for calculating the required wall thickness of new tubes and associated component fittings for fired heaters for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries. These procedures are appropriate for designing tubes for service in both corrosive and non- corrosive applications. These procedures have been developed specifically for the design of refinery and related fired heater tubes (direct-fired, heat-absorbing tubes within enclosures). These procedures are not intended to be used for the design of external piping. This standard does not give recommendations for tube retirement thickness; Annex A describes a technique for estimating the life remaining for a heater tube.
Std. 560 Fired Heaters for General Refinery Service
Specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing, preparation for shipment, and erection of fired heaters, air preheaters (APHs), fans, and burners for general refinery service. Covered sections include Purchaser’s and Vendor’s Responsibilities; Design Considerations (Process, Combustion and Mechanical); Materials of Construction; Tubes and Tube Supports; Headers, Piping, Terminals, and Manifolds; Loads and Allowable Stress; Refractory Linings and Castable Design and Construction; Structures and Appurtenances; Stacks, Ducts and Breeching; Burners, Dampers and Controls; Fan Drives; Sootblowers; Instruments and Connections; Shop Fabrication and Field Erection; Inspection and Testing; Air Preheat Systems; Efficiency Measurement; and Noise Measurement.
RP 573 Inspection of Fired Boilers and Heaters
Covers the inspection practices for fired boilers and process heaters (furnaces) used in petroleum refineries and petrochemical plants. The practices described in this document are focused to improve equipment reliability and plant safety by describing the operating variables which impact reliability and to ensure that inspection practices obtain the appropriate data, both on-stream and off-stream, to assess current and future performance of the equipment.
