Piping Drawing Review Process

Piping Drawing Review Process

The review of piping drawings should be conducted using printed copies or check plots, with colored pencils or pens for clarity. The following guidelines apply:

  • Yellow: Highlights corrected areas and dimensions.
  • Green: Marks areas and dimensions to be removed.
  • Red: Indicates areas to be corrected or added on the drawing.
  • After corrections are made, the new print is reviewed again ("back checked") to ensure the changes have been properly incorporated.

Key Aspects to Review in Piping Drawings:

  1. Drawing Title: Ensure the title is correct and complete.
  2. Orientation: Verify the north arrow is aligned with the plot plan.
  3. Graphic Scale: Confirm inclusion, especially if the drawing will be scaled down.
  4. Equipment Coordinates: Check against the equipment layout for accuracy.
  5. Equipment Numbers: Confirm they are displayed correctly on the piping drawing.
  6. Line Identification: Ensure all lines are correctly labeled in all views.
  7. Line Specification Changes: Check if changes in line specifications are properly indicated.
  8. Reference Drawings: Confirm all reference drawing numbers and files are correct.
  9. Dimensions: Verify the correctness of all dimensions shown.
  10. Symbol Accuracy: Ensure that symbols match standard representation guidelines.
  11. Instrument Identification: Check all instruments are correctly labeled.
  12. Straight Length Requirements: Verify required upstream/downstream straight lengths.
  13. Insulation Needs: Confirm insulation specifications as per P&IDs.
  14. Piping Arrangement: Ensure it meets the P&ID requirements, such as gravity flow and seals.
  15. Interference Check: Look for potential interferences in the piping design.
  16. Scale Accuracy: Confirm scale accuracy, especially in general arrangement drawings.
  17. Stress Analysis Compliance: Ensure all stress analysis requirements are satisfied.
  18. Clearances: Check for sufficient clearance from civil structures, electrical systems, and instrument consoles.
  19. Openings: Confirm the adequacy of floor and wall openings.
  20. Accessibility: Ensure operational and maintenance spaces are accessible, with space for drop-out areas and handling.
  21. Foundation and Vendor Requirements: Confirm the foundation drawings and vendor specifications are incorporated.
  22. Sections and Details: Ensure section identifiers and details match.
  23. Match lines: Verify accuracy of match line locations.
  24. Signatures and Dates: Ensure drawings are signed and dated.
  25. BOM Accuracy: Confirm the Bill of Materials (BOM) in isometric drawings is correct.
  26. Revision Number: Check the number of issues and revisions is up to date.

This process ensures a comprehensive and accurate review of piping drawings, adhering to standards and project requirements.
