| This type of jacketed pipe, as the name
implies, utilizes various constructions to achieve specific processing or construction
needs. For example, if the process requires very tight temperature control, yet project
economies dictate the use of standard equipment, a typical solution is: Use Standard
Jacketed Pipe for pipe-to-pipe connections and Swaged Jacketed Pipe or Reducing-Insert
Jacketed Pipe for the pipe-to-equipment connections. Close temperature control of the
core-size equipment can be maintained with bolt-on jackets (see ControHeat Jackets).
Another example of the use of the Hybrid System is the elimination of concealed welds in
the process piping where Swaged Jacketed Pipe is used for all straight runs and bolt-on
jackets are used on all welded fittings--tees, elbows, reducers, and crosses (see example
at right). |
