Piping system shall be designed for the most severe conditions to which it may be
subjected. In addition to the general operating and process conditions, the surge pressure,
static pressure, pressure drop in the line, pump shut-off pressure, vacuum caused by
cooling and possible condensing of trapped medium and nitrogen purges pressure may
determine the design conditions.
3.2 Piping Engineering Requirements
3.2.1 General
Piping design work shall be carried out according to the following project documents:
SA00-EPXXXX-SDPI-SPMT-0001 Piping Material Specification
SA00-GENXXX-SDPS-BSDS-0001 Process Design Basis
Piping design within the battery limits of the Project shall be in accordance with ASME
B31.3.
Items to be considered during front-end engineering and design (FEED) include:
1)

Gas or liquid pockets are to be avoided if possible. Refer to applicable P&IDs notes for
the general process requirements.

special fittings shall be located and accessible for the operation and maintenance
purposes. Ladders and access platforms shall be provided wherever required.

6)

Larger size blinds shall have hoisting facility or crane access made possible.

7)

Where provisions for future installation and connection of equipment are identified,
piping shall allow for block valves and to avoid shutdown and extensive modifications
of facilities.

8)

Underground piping shall be suitably coated in accordance with the applicable codes
and specifications. All piping to be run aboveground except for drain lines which may
run underground.

9)

The line class breaks shall be indicated clearly as required in the P&IDs.

10) The valve codes shall be consistent with the piping material specification.
11) All the valves shall be in accordance with the valve specifications.
12) Type of Branch Connections shall be based on respective material classes selected
from SA00-EPXXXX-SDPI-SPMT-0001 Piping Material Specification.
13) The pipe class identification shall be at proper locations.
14) H2S, Cl- and salt shall be taken into consideration for piping and valve materials
selection.
15) Pipe bending is not generally allowed, forged or wrought elbows shall be used.
3.2.2 Routing Study
1)

The work scope of piping routing study should be prepared for all pipes lines.

2)

3)

Large bore piping shall be designed to minimize pressure drops small bore piping shall
be routed in groups where practical.

4)

On pipe racks consideration shall be given to space allocation for future extension.

5)

The number of flanges and unions shall be minimized.

6)

Pipe routing shall allow sufficient space for bolting up flanges or for line-up clamps to
be used for field welds.

7)

Block valves in pipe work connected to equipment shall be installed as close to the
equipment as practicable.

8)

Short radius elbows shall be avoided unless essential for clearances.

9)

All gases or vapors branches shall be taken from the top of the main lines.

10) At crossings, lines shall have a minimum clearance of 25mm after allowing for
insulation and deflection.
11) In multi-level pipe racks, pipe carrying corrosive fluids shall be on the lower level, and
utility lines should be at the upper floor. Large size or heavy weight pipes shall be

repair.
The base of safety requirements in process plants is to avoid any hazard.
In this regard some distances and locations shall be considered. For example all process
equipment should be kept at least 15m from fired heaters, except where the heater is being
used to heat the process flow of the equipment and where any leakage from the equipment
