length of a butt weld reducer. Small Bore Socket Weld: Minimum exposed pipe length between socket
weld components ends shall be 2.
4.13 Separation Distances for Branches. Check that there is adequate separation distance between pipe
branches and adequate separation distances between branches and pipe line ends or components.
4.14 Instrument Connection Orientation and Access. Check that instrument connections that require
access are accessible and that the orientation on the pipe is correct. Check for proper connection type and
size. Check that all Instrument connections reference the correct standard detail number, and there are
sufficient clearances for element removal from pipe.

4.15 Insulation and Insulation Support Lugs. Check insulation requirements to Project insulation class
codes and thickness. Add insulation support lugs on vertical runs of alloy pipe.
4.16 Heat Tracing. Check that piping is Heat Traced as identified on the system P&ID and in accordance
with the Project Heat Tracing Criteria.
4.17 Pipe Penetrations symbols. Check that all concrete floor, platform grating, wall, and grade
penetrations are indicated and labeled on piping isometrics. Callout core drilled openings in existing walls
when required.
4.18 Waterstops. Check that water stops are provided on underground piping at floor and wall
penetrations.
4.19 Slope. Check that pipe systems that require slope have the proper minimum slope and the correct
slope direction. For hot piping verify pipe does not reverse slope in hot position.
4.20 Pipe Supports and Welded Attachments. Check that pipe supports are shown when required and
locations, quantity, and tag numbers have been review and approved by the Piping Engineering
department. Check that shop welded pipe support attachment details are provided on alloy piping for shop
welding before shop stress relieving.
4.21 Material List on Isometrics. Check that all pipe and pipe component material descriptions in the
isometric drawing material list matches the engineering pipe line specification.
4.22 Insulating Flange Kits. Check that insulating flange kits are identified on aboveground piping systems
connecting to underground pipe systems where required by the pipeline specification.
4.23 Dissimilar Metal Welds. Check that dissimilar metal welds that may occur at valves, equipment
nozzles, and material spec changes are identified and transition pieces are provided if required.
4.24 Dissimilar pipe and/or component wall thickness. Check that dissimilar pipe and component wall
thicknesses that may occur at valves, equipment nozzles, and at material spec changes are identified and
transition pieces or taper bores are provided if required. ASME Power Piping Code B31.1 Section 127.3C
allows a 1/16 (.0625) internal pipe wall misalignment (each side) for welding without taper boring the
connecting pipe. Example of piping drawing identification of dissimilar wall thickness taper bore: TAPER

5.0 PIPING SYSTEM ROUTING AND LAYOUT CHECK
5.1 Interference Check. Check that the system is interference free by a visual review of the model and that
a recent electronic interference report from the model had been reviewed and cleared. If a non 3D project,
review all discipline reference drawings. If the pipe routing is within an existing plant area, verify a field
interference check was performed. For hot piping verify pipe clearances in hot positions.
5.2 Thermal Analysis. For hot piping verify WorleyParsons Piping Engineering Department has approved
the thermal flexibility of the pipe. Checker is responsible to obtain pipe thermal movements and verify
clearances in hot position and that pipe does not reverse slope causing low point pockets. Thermal
movements direction and distance shall be noted on check prints in blue for future reference.
5.3 Hazardous Areas. Check that no electronic instrument, valve actuator, or other electronic component
within the pipe or attached to the pipe falls within a Hazardous Area of the plant.
5.4 Plant Personnel Access, Construction Access, Maintenance Areas, and Safety. Check that the pipe
system layout does not obstruct plant personnel access, construction access, and maintenance areas of
the plant. Check that the pipe system lowest appendage (including pipe support clamps) is above 6-8
headroom and does not affect plant safety.
5.5 Pump and Equipment Requirements. Check that the pipe system layout meets the requirements of the
connecting equipment vendor requirements or common practice.
The checker shall read all vendor criteria. Examples:
- Pump suction straight diameters, eccentric reducers
- Steam Turbine vendor requirements
- Check pipe system against Equipment Vendor P&ID if applicable
- Installation and Maintenance Manuals
5.6 System Discharge Points. Check that safety valve discharges, gas vents, etc are discharged in a safe
location that will not be harmful to personnel, structures, or equipment. Confirm safety valve discharges do
no impact noise abatement requirements. Confirm gas (fuel gas, hydrogen) discharge points are indicated
on hazardous area location drawings.
5.7 Underground Pipe Burial Depth. Check that underground pipe has adequate cover to protect from
crushing from vehicle, railroad, and crane loads and is below frost depth.
5.8 Pipe Lanes. Check that pipe system layout is within established pipe north/south, east/west pipe lanes
and elevations established within the plant. Underground piping shall have common bottom of pipe
elevations for trenching.
5.9 Structural Gusset Plates. Check that the pipe system does not interfere with areas to be occupied by
structural gusset plates. Not all gusset plates are in the model and those that are modeled may not
represent the actual structural fabricators detail and requirements. Checkers must do a visual model
interference check at gusset plate areas and interface with structural design to assure sufficient
clearances.
5.10 Circulating Water Branch Component Reinforcement Plate clearance. Check for potential
interferences in the area of large pipe component reinforcement plates, especially at crotch areas of
laterals.
5.11 Underground Potable Water and Waste Water Separation. Check local and state codes for separation
requirements between underground potable water and waste water systems to prevent pollution of potable
water.
5.12 HDPE Pipe Fitting Separation and Butterfly Valves. Check that there are pipe spools between all
HDPE pipe fittings to accommodate differences in physical dimensions between HDPE fitting
manufactures. Check that Butterfly Valves discs are not obstructed from opening when connected to heavy
wall HDPE pipe. Pipe spacers may be required between the flange and valve body.
5.13 Clearance from vertical structural columns and walls. Check that pipe routing maintains
approximately 9 inches of clearance from vertical structural columns and walls (including hot position) to
allow space for field routed utilities.
5.14 Olet Branch Dimensions. Olet type pipe branch fittings (weldolet, sweepolet, etc) dimensions (run
pipe centerline to the fitting outlet) are approximate because the dimension varies by manufacture. Check
that fitting to fitting design on the outlet of the olet branch fittings is not used. A pipe spool is required for
adjustment by the pipe fabricator to suit actual fitting dimensions while maintaining the overall geometry of
the pipe system.
5.15 Miscellaneous Items for Checking List. Includes commonly found piping isometric Isogen software
errors requiring manual annotation.
a) Orifice Flange pressure tap orientations incorrectly shown by Isogen. b) Dimensions or dimension
strings starting at pipe caps. Isogen dimension is from cap work point (center of cap where blue line stops)
but dimensions on drawing appears to be from end of cap.
c) Eccentric Reducer offset dimensions incorrectly shown by Isogen do not match actual fitting offsets as
manufactured and should be deleted.
6.0 HOLDS CHECK
6.1 Holds. Check the location and limits of drawing HOLDs to areas of the drawing that are incomplete or
can not be verified and approved by the checker prior to issue due to insufficient engineering, vendor,
client or other discipline information. See Section 2.2.
6.2 Hold List. Check that all drawing holds are included in the Holds List for the project.
