The pipeline from main storage tank (A) to the centrifugal pump inlet is 3-inch Schedule 40 commercial steel pipe, with an equivalent length of 61 meters. The line from the centrifugal pump discharge to the tee (entry into leg) where the pipeline branches is also 3-inch Schedule 40 pipe, with an equivalent length of 30.5 meters. The pipeline from the tee to process tank (B) is 1.5-inch Schedule 40 pipe, with an equivalent length of 183 meters. The pipeline from the tee to process tank (C) is 2-inch Schedule 40 commercial steel pipe, with an equivalent length of 183 meters. The equivalent lengths as given do not include four (4) gate valves, one (1) between storage tank (A) and the centrifugal pump, one (1) between the centrifugal pump and the tee, and one (1) each at process tanks (B) and (C); and two (2) globe valves (bevel seat), globe valve “X” in line from the tee to…arrow_forward
