When industrial plant equipment items are overpressured, the is an essential safety device that automatically releases gases and sometimes liquids. Those pressure relief valves are required by industrial design codes and standards as well as by law. The released gases and liquids are routed through large systems called flare headers to a vertical elevated flare. The released gases are as they exit the flare stacks. The size and. Flare line means a line used to carry gas away from the rig to be burned at a safer location. The gas comes from the degasser, gas buster, separator, or when drill stem testing, directly from the drill pipe. Functionally operated means activating equipment without subjecting it to well-bore pressure.
[pdf] A flow line, used on a drilling rig, is a large diameter pipe (typically a section of casing) that is connected to the bell nipple (under the drill floor) and extends to the possum belly (on the mud tanks) and acts as a return line (for the drilling fluid as it comes out of the hole), to the mud. .
The is used to slow the flow of returning before it hits the . This enables the shale shaker to clean the. .
A stinger line is similar to a flow line, but unlike a flow line is not used to maintain circulation. The stinger line is attached to the .
Another common add on is the sample box. This is a heavy duty rubber hose that is inserted at the end of the flow line and at the other end emplaced into the sample box itself. The.
