Process Engineering - Application of Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR) To Equipment and Pipelines

The document discusses the application of Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR) to various equipment and pipelines. It provides guidelines on what types of vessels, piping, and other equipment fall under the purview of IBR requirements based on factors like steam pressure, pipe diameter, and steam/condensate routing. Exemptions from IBR scope are also listed.

ii. Pipe size exceeds 254 mm internal diameter ( for any steam pressure).

iii. All steam / condensate pipelines interconnecting equipment under IBR purview,
irrespective of pressures.

iv. BFW pipelines from BFW pumps to Boilers.

3. Following are not in IBR scope –

i. Steam Tracing piping

ii. Heating Coils

iii. Heating Tubes in Tanks

iv. Steam Jacketed Piping

4. All steam users (heat exchangers, vessels, condensate pots etc) where outlet condensate is
drained to atmosphere or flashed to atmospheric pressure (as in a Deaerator) and vented (without
isolation) do not fall under IBR purview. The IBR specification break in such cases is done at last
isolation valve on the steam line upstream of equipment.
5. All steam users where the outlet condensate piping is connected to an IBR equipment are covered
under IBR. In case of steam turbines even if the condensate is connected to an IBR equipment, the
steam turbine is not covered under IBR.
6. Deaerator operating at 1.05 kg/cm2a pressure and the BFW pumps do not fall under IBR purview.
The BFW pump discharge pipeline to boiler falls under IBR purview.
7. Safety valves/ relief valves on IBR system do not have isolation valve.
8. Flash steam drums have to be provided a PSV without any upstream or downstream isolation
valve.
9. Main steam headers shall be protected from overpressure by provision of a set of 2 PSVs and also
a PIC control valve.
10. If a pressure reducing station or a desuperheater is provided in a steam line then the downstream
of this pipeline after the desuperheater shall be protected by a set of PSVs. Set for lower pressure
conditions, to take care of the possibility of malfunctioning of Pressure reducing station /
desuperheater station which would result in high pressure steam being carried into lower pressure
system.

Does the 254 mm limit for steam pipe line means that for Sch 40 piping 10" is under IBR
and if it is Sch 80 then it is not for pressure lower than 3 barg.

Process steam pipe with 88 bar & 250 deg C, is connected to a Heat Exchanger after an
isolation valve. The process parameters remain same after the isolation valve to the
Exchanger. Now, does the Pipe and the heat exchanger come under IBR ?
