    Pipe Strain Check Procedure

    Uploaded by

    This procedure outlines how to check for pipe strain on horizontally and vertically mounted machines using dial indicators. For horizontal machines, two dial indicators are placed on the shaft to measure movement as flange bolts are tightened in three steps up to full torque. Readings after full tightening should not exceed 50 microns to avoid pipe strain. For vertical machines, the orientation of the machine relative to the pipe is specified for checking.

    PIPE STRAIN CHECK PROCEDURE

    1. For horizontally mounted machines


    Two dial indicators are placed on the coupling hub or the shaft of the machine
    being checked for pipe strain .
    The two dial indicators will measure the machine shaft movement in the vertical
    and horizontal directions when the flange bolts will be tightened to the required
    torques .
    Connect the piping flanges to the machine flanges one by one and tighten the
    bolts to the required torque and checking the indicators readings.
    Note :Use the recommended gaskets.
    The tightening procedure as follows

    Step 1 = 10% of the torque

    Step 2 = 30% of the torque

    Step 3 = 100%of the torque

    After bolts has been fully tightened to the maximum torque .

    Now check the indicator reading

    Note :Reading may exceed 50 micron during tightening


    process.
    The maximum shaft movement shall not exceed 50 microns .
    Maximum value the dial shall read = 50 microns .

    2. For vertically mounted machines.


    Horizontal orientation is perpendicular to the pipe centerline when viewed from top .

    Vertical orientation is parallel to the pipe centerline when viewed from top.
