Instrument Tubing Selection

There is a huge selection of materials to choose from when selecting instrument tubing. The selection is dependent on the service, installation and how long the tubing is required. It is important that these are considered before making a choice. One has to be careful when selecting polished tubing as the manufacturers polishing can work harden it and increase the surface hardness to unacceptable levels. Thus when specifying tubing it is best to select dull annealed type, then one can be assured that no untoward hardening has occurred.

 

Instrument Tubing Preparation

Tube Handling

The tubing surface is essential to sealing when using a compression fitting, hence good handling practices should be used to reduce scratches and protect surface finish. For example dragging tubing across any surface that could scratch its surface can cause real corrosion and sealing problems. On offshore facilities, scratches may lead to corrosion of 316SS tubing from salt water pitting.

Visual Inspection of Tubing

It is a good idea to visually inspect instrument tubing to ensure it is free from scratches and other damage. Severe scratches or damage to tubing could affect the safe installation of the compression fitting. It is recommended that tubing in poor condition should be disposed of. Finished tubes should be scratch free, reasonably straight and have smooth ends free of burrs.

Cutting

When cutting tubing do not use a hacksaw, the correct tool is a tube cutter which has a sharp blade.

Deburring

Using the correct deburring tool (usually found on the cutter), deburr both the inside and outside edges of tube ends.

Cleaning

It is recommended that instrument tubing is cleaned with dry instrument air, however where the service requires a high level of cleanliness a proprietary cleaning agent should be used.

 

Instrument Tubing for Hazardous Gas Service

On hazardous gas service take care to ensure that the correct wall thickness has been chosen. Gas molecules are small and can migrate through thinner wall tubing. Contact your tubing supplier for details.

 

Instrument Tube Bending

Tube Benders

On applications where bending is required, a tube bender must be used. Follow the tube bender manufacturer’s instructions to assure good bends. Either compression or draw type hand benders should be used for tubing up to 1/2 inches. Above this size hydraulic tools are recommended.

Instrument Tubing Bending & Installation - Wesley Tucker - Instruments around a plant monitor and control systems ranging from pressure differentials to contents of materials measured in percentages. Installing tubing to and from various instrument locations involves an understanding of the process and the application. Tubing installation is often dictated by the requirements of process. Bending, positioning and bracing tubing means more than just measuring a straight line and getting enough tube to fit. Tubing benders permit maximum tolerances for pressurized lines while reducing waste from cracked, misshapen or misaligned tubes of all sizes - from ehow.

Video - Copper Tube Bending - A video of how to bend copper tube.

 

Minimum Straight Lengths

To ensure proper insertion depth into compression fittings minimum straight lengths of tubing are needed. The following information may be used as a reference for the bending radius and for the minimum straight length before the bend for proper installation.

  • If the tubing O.D. is 1/2 inches or less, provide at least 25mm straight length.
  • If the tubing O.D. is greater than 1/2 inches provide at least 50mm straight length.

If the straight length is not possible, an elbow should be used.

 

Fitting Preparations

Compression fittings are supplied assembled. The fitting, pipe thread and general appearance should be inspected visually before use. It is recommended that fittings are not disassembled. Always ensure that the tubing material is softer than the fitting.

 

Tubing Installation

  • If practical, it is recommended that instrument process impulse lines are installed in the vertical plane. Horizontal impulse lines are generally run with a slope of not less than one in twelve between the process connection and the instrument. Slope should be down from the tapping points for liquids and up for gases.
  • For reasons of accessibility offset and stagger tube unions wherever practicable.
  • Tube fittings must not be used to support instruments, which should be independently mounted.
  • It is recommended that any Weld splatter on stainless tubing be removed.

 

Supporting Tubing

  • It is a good idea to ensure all instrument impulse lines are as short as possible. For lengths up to approximately 1m tubing is self-supporting, however for longer lengths it is recommended that the tubing be supported at approximately 1m intervals.
  • The number of joints in the impulse line should be kept to a minimum. Process and utility piping must not be used for supporting instrumentation piping or tubing.
  • Tubing should be adequately supported and braced. It is suggested that support fixing distances not exceed the following:

Outside Diameter

Distance

1/4 inch OD

Continuously Supported

1/2 inch OD

1.0 m

3/4 inch ODtd>

1.5 m

1 inch OD

2.0 m

  • It is recommended that three or more tubes run in parallel are supported in steel angle or channel, or on cable tray or ladder with appropriate insulation.
  • To avoid the possibility of corrosion, it is recommended that stainless steel tube and/or fittings (316, duplex or otherwise) is NOT be in direct contact or located directly under Zinc coated or galvanised components.
  • Electrically non-conductive tubing clamps are available. These isolate ubing from its supports.

Beware of Tubing Vibration!

It is suggested that impulse lines for instruments shall be arranged to avoid:

  • Movement through thermal expansion.
  • Mechanical damage from impact.

When tube vibration is a problem, due to the closeness of machinery, process pressure changes or other excitation, it is recommended:

  • Tubing is clamped to the monoflange, process take-off or process line using a suitable clamp with the minimum span between the compression fitting and the clamp.
  • A vibration loop (pigtail) is installed in the tube span between the process line and any independent structure used to support the tube. The orientation of the loop should be chosen with due regard to the probable relative motion between the connections.
  • The vibration loop crossover has a minimum clearance of 2 x tube OD to prevent fretting of the tube.

 

Instrument Tubing Welding

There are several instrument tube welders on the market, they are excellent for hazardous gas applications. These units provide consistent high quality welds when operated correctly.

 

Plastic Instrument Tubing

Ensure that extremely soft plastic tubing is used with an insert. Never use metal ferrules on plastic tubing.

Fittings and Small Bore Tubing Systems - Handbook

This superb 72 page document from the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association covers most engineering aspects of small bore tubing and fittings.

Supercritical Instrument Installations - The Tricky Process of Designing Impulse Lines for ASME B31.1 Compliance - Allan G. Gilson P.E. - When it comes to tubing, everyone knows that a grip-type tube fitting will meet or exceed the rating of the tubing itself. This makes instrument tubing installation easy-right? Simply ensure that the tubing is sized correctly, and everything will work. Piece of cake. The recent generation of coal plants in the United States (and around the world) has seen a major increase in the use of supercritical technologies due to inherent efficiency advantages over subcritical designs. However, no gain is without cost in some form. Greater efficiency requires considerably higher pressures and temperatures, resulting in significant new challenges for critical system instrument impulse line design and installation. In a supercritical plant, the pressures and temperatures for the main steam and feed water cycles routinely exceed that of conventionally fired drum-type boilers and combined cycle units. These elevated pressures and temperatures are particularly challenging for boiler manufacturers and engineers. Compliance with ASME B31.1 Power Piping requires much thicker piping and tubing walls, as well as stronger materials for valves and fittings - from FlowControl.

This technical note is an attempt to put all the information at one place. The efforts have been put to expose the readers to all the aspects of tubing and make them aware of all the developments in the world.

 

Instrument Tubing and Fittings Manual

It is important to understand that both of the above can affect the ferrule(s) ability to seal on the tubing. It is recommended to order tubing manufactured to the plus (+) side of the outside diameter tolerance. Wall thickness variations can affect pressure ratings and flow characteristics.

Still, at present this is used to connect the pneumatic actuator and its accessories viz. positioners, I/P converters, solenoid valves etc. which are quite important from plant operation point of view. Pneumatic instruments are still prevalent in hazardous areas. Even though the pneumatic instruments are older generation, they still provide a very reliable alternative to electronic instruments.
