what is loop folder?

Answer Posted / carl_ellis

A loop folder is a manila folder or an electronic folder
that contains an assortment of documents related to the
instrumentation for a specific process control loop.

The exact contents of a loop folder are defined in a
project's standards/requirements.

A loop folder typically includes
- instrument manufacturer's spec/data sheet
- P&ID
- loop diagram
- loop check test sheet/checklist
- instrument calibration cert
- plot plan/location diagram

It can include
- loop test procedure
- hook-up diagram/instructions
- control/function narrative
- alarm setpoint list
- construction completion certificate
- interlock diagram
- flow sizing sheet
- CoC Certificate of Conformance
- COE Certificate of Origin
- MRT Material Test Report
- NACE certificate
- instrument configuration

Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
