Frequently asked questions

A: A: The temperature note is the red flag. HDPE softens and creeps; flange face compression is what you lose first. B: RF is commonly used with linings; RTJ would actually cut the liner. C: Pressure derating may exist, but nothing here says MAWP is exceeded. D: Expansion mismatch is managed with detailing; it’s not an automatic prohibition.

A: A: That’s the straight mix: 0.65×0.999 + 0.35×0.855. B: Weight and volume fraction aren’t interchangeable here. C: There’s no step change at 60%; that’s hand-waving. D: Free volume isn’t an input to this basic density check.

A: A: PSV controls pressure, not gas diffusion trapped in elastomer. B: Adiabatic heating isn’t addressed here, but it’s not tied to depressurization. C: Chemical swelling is a materials selection issue, not the scenario described. D: Bolt relaxation is mechanical and unrelated to rapid gas release.

A: A: Dashed inner line is the common shorthand for internal lining. B: Tracing and insulation have external symbols and notes. C: Double containment is drawn as two concentric pipes. D: Hoses are shown with break symbols, not inner lines.
