PIP RESM001 Specification for Agitators

PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While this Practice is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take precedence over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not be made solely on information contained in these materials. The use of trade names from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the same specifications are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these practices or guidelines should conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before applying or acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice.

Introduction 1.1

Purpose The purpose of this Practice is to provide designers and vendors with mechanical requirements for design and manufacture of permanently mounted agitators for use in process facilities.

1.2

Scope This Practice covers the minimum requirements for design and manufacture of permanently mounted, top and bottom-entering agitators, both with and without mechanical seals. This Practice does not cover requirements for tank mixers, portable and clamp-on, light duty agitators, in-line and jet-type mixers, and high speed dispersers. This Practice also does not cover requirements for the installation of agitators. A typical agitation process data sheet, included with this Practice, may be used to communicate purchaser requirements, however, supplemental information may be necessary to fully define process requirements.

1.3

Vendor’s Quotation 1.3.1

Vendor’s quotation shall conform to this Practice and purchaser’s addenda. At the vendor’s option, an alternate quotation may be offered if the following two conditions are met: a. If there is significant process or delivery advantage, a superior, more reliable agitator design may be offered. Vendor shall provide the technical justification. b. Alternate quotation shall indicate deviations from the requirements in this Practice. Complete details of deviations shall be submitted to purchaser for review.

1.3.2

2.

If vendor’s quotation indicates no deviations from the requirements in this Practice, it shall be assumed by the purchaser that the agitator quoted complies fully with this Practice.

References Applicable requirements in the latest edition (or the edition indicated) of the following industry standards shall be considered an integral part of this Practice: 2.1

Definitions For the purposes of this Practice the following definitions apply: Auxiliary Piping Systems: Piping supplied with the agitator for services such as: seal flush or buffer fluid, cooling water, gear reducer lubrication oil, and instrument air or nitrogen Bearing Speed Factor (ndm): An approximation of the speed at which the surfaces of a rolling element bearing roll together, and therefore also an indicator of bearing service severity. The bearing speed factor is determined by multiplying the rotational speed in revolutions per minute times the bearing pitch diameter in millimeters. For convenience, the pitch diameter is taken as one half the sum of the bearing bore and outside diameters. Shrink Disc: Clamping assembly used to secure mechanical shaft seals against rotation on shafts. A shrink disc utilizes a bolted wedge assembly to maintain a friction fit to the shaft. Comment: Use of a shrink disc imposes lower stresses on a shaft than key drives, and does not damage the shaft surface like setscrew drives.

4.

e. Seal cartridges shall have leak detection port(s). Leak detection ports shall have a tapped connection and shall be permanently labeled by stamping. f.

The rotating seal element shall be setscrew driven. When specified, the rotating seal element shall be key or shrink disc driven. Comment: The use of setscrews to drive large or high pressure mechanical seals requires the use of a large number of setscrews, which creates the possibility of distortion or improper installation of the seal due to uneven tightening. Mechanical damage to the shaft and possibly the shaft O-rings can result from the setscrews upsetting the shaft metal when tightened. The use of key or shrink disc driven seal elements eliminates these possible problems.

g. Pressure joints in the seal cartridge housing shall be sealed with O-rings. Use of gaskets is prohibited. h. Unless otherwise specified, the seal cartridge shall not have cooling jackets. i.

k. Systems with dual seals shall have a device that provides positive circulation of buffer fluid from the seal reservoir to the seal. Circulation device can be a pumping ring or a separate circulation pump. Comment: When a dead-ended seal lubrication system is specified, a cooling jacket may be required, and a circulation device is not necessary. 4.5.5

An anti-friction bearing shall be mounted in or near the mechanical seal cartridge to minimize shaft motion at the seal. For continuous service, the bearing shall have a minimum L10 life of 40,000 hours. Calculation of bearing life shall be based on the specified operating conditions.

4.5.6

When specified, a separate lifting device for seal maintenance shall be included in the vendor’s proposal. Comment: A separate lifting device for mechanical seal maintenance (usually a small bolt on trolley and hoist assembly) is recommended if no permanent overhead lifting capacity is available and the weight of any item in the seal system exceeds 20 kg (45 lb.).

4.6

Agitator Support 4.6.1

Process Industry Practices

Unless otherwise specified on the data sheet, agitators shall be equipped with a through-bolted connection flange with dimensions, drilling, and pressure rating in accordance with ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47, whichever applies. Connection flange bolt hole orientation shall match vessel flange.
