PTT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION

SPC-0804.02-50.05 PAGE: 3 of 16 REV: D2

This Standard covers the requirements for piping design and piping layout. Excluded are a) All instrument control piping downstream of the first piping block valve.

b) All heating, ventilation air and water services within buildings. Where local plant conditions or space limitations dictate that this Standard cannot be applied, proposed deviations shall be submitted for PTT/CONSULTANTS approval. Piping furnished as a regular part of proprietary equipment shall be in accordance with the requirements of this Standard. 2.0 2.1 GENERAL LAYOUT REQUIREMENTS Piping Arrangement Piping shall be arranged in an orderly manner and routed as directly as practical, considering economy, accessibility for operation, maintenance, construction and safety, in established banks or pipe ways. Piping on elevated racks shall run at different elevations designated for north-south and east-west banks, and change elevation when changing direction. Combined changes in direction and level in pipe ways shall normally be made with 90o bends. Where necessary, a 90o bend and a 45o bend may be used. Relative elevations of pipe ways shall be set to provide sufficient clearance between lines at intersections. Flat turns at changes in direction shall be avoided on elevated pipe racks, except lines requiring a slope and/or no pockets (e.g. Flare, Blow Down etc.). Dead ends and pockets in lines are to be avoided.

In pipe tracks and pipe racks hot lines shall be grouped together and expansion loops shall be nested. The number of expansion loops should be kept to a minimum, consistent with the stress requirements.

PTT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION

SPC-0804.02-50.05 PAGE: 4 of 16 REV: D2

Provision shall be made for the flushing of all lines after hydrostatic testing, and shall normally be done by the use of a removable spool piece or on long lines with a line size flange and blank at the end of the line. Overhead lines for acid, caustic or other corrosive services must not have flanged joints located above access ways or platforms. Where pipe work is laid on overhead structures, (in) tracks or in permanent trenches and requires dismantling for process reasons, the arrangement and clearances should permit removal of any pipe, fitting, or valve without the necessity to disturb adjacent pipe work. Except when required for frequent maintenance or commissioning and testing, the use of flanges in piping shall be limited to connection at flanged equipment.

Generally, lines shall be run horizontally; however, where lines need to be drained completely, the piping shall be sloped and fitted with drainage points. Lines to be sloped shall be indicated on the Piping and Instrument Diagram. All safety valves inlet lines shall slope and free drain towards the process line and all flared lines shall slope towards the knockout drums with the minimum slope as required on PD-10-13240-3515-01. Underground lines shall have means for testing, draining and flushing. Branch connections from horizontal air mains shall be taken from the top of the main. Piping arrangements shall ensure that installed valves are readily accessible and easy to operate. Where valves are secured in position only by being clamped between pipe work flanges, e.g. wafer valves, the effect of removing the adjoining pipe work shall be taken into account. Valves shall not be installed with their stems below the horizontal. Access shall be provided for valves in ground level pipe tracks, the valves being suitably grouped as far as practicable. Valve with extended stems in cold services that may contain liquids shall have their stems located in a vertically upwards position to ensure that cryogenic

PIPING LAYOUT

PTT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION

SPC-0804.02-50.05 PAGE: 5 of 16 REV: D2

liquids will not come into contact with the stem packing area. Exceptions may be made for vent/ drain and instrumentation block valves. Valves in insulated lines shall be designed to allow unrestricted operation. It may be necessary to install extended stems so that the hand wheel is located clear of the insulation cladding. Valves shall generally be at a preferable working height between 1,000 mm and 1,350 mm to centerline of hand wheel. 2.2 Clearances Piping systems shall be designed and equipment laid out to provide access by mobile equipment. Space shall be left around equipment and piping to facilitate maintenance (tube bundle removal, cleaning, etc). 2.2.1 Clearance between Pipelines and between Pipe and Concrete and Steel Constructions The minimum distance is generally 50mm. When deciding the spacing of the pipes, the thermal expansion and contraction must be considered. Clearance between the outside diameter of flange and the outside diameter of pipe or insulation: 25 mm. The following minimum clearance shall be provided between piping and equipment, considering the thickness of insulation of either one, if any: 1. 2. 3. 4. Passage ways between pumps Passage ways between exchangers Clearance between piping and equipment One side of the control valve piping 800 mm 800 mm 50 mm 600 mm

2.2.2 Clearance to the Bottom of Piping Minimum clearance to the bottom of piping shall generally be as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Above platforms and walkways: Inside buildings: Above plant roads: Above mobile lifting equipment access areas: Intersections at pipe ways 2,100 mm 2,100 mm 6,000 mm 6,000 mm 250 mm

2.4

Outside Process Areas This pipe work shall run on pipe ways at ground level or in overhead pipe racks.

Lines at ground level shall be grouped together, to form grade tracks and shall be run on supports, to give the lines on the same bottom elevation.

2.5

2.6

Critical Piping Where dynamic loading, minimal flow conditions, or other severe service conditions apply, piping shall be designed and checked to ensure that its size, configuration, mechanical strength, supports and restraints will prevent excessive stress, pressure drop, vibration or noise.
