Considerations for
the piping designer before starting your piping design on a Column.
From the
basic layout and engineering specifications:
·
Minimum access,
platform width, walkways and headroom requirements.
·
Handling
Facilities for the column internals, line blinds, relief valves, manhole
covers.
·
Max. rise of
ladders.
·
Requirements of
piping systems.
·
Min. line size and
number and location of hose stations.
·
Access
requirements for valves and instruments.
From Design Standards:
·
Details of ladder
dimensions
·
Ladder and
platform position - step through or side step landings.
·
Toe plate, hand
rail and safety gate details.
From P&ID and Tower
Technical Specification:
·
Process data
showing interconnected equipment and piping
·
Pipe sizes, specs
and components
·
Steam tracing and
insulation thickness
·
Tower elevations
and differences in related equipment levels.
From the Plot Plan:
·
The physical
location of a column and it relationship to other equipment.
·
Main access
·
Main pipe rack or
pipe run
·
Pump locations.
From the Instrument Standards:
·
The location of
instrument connections on the column for gauges, level controllers and level
alarms
·
Location of
pressure and temperature connections.
From the column fabrication
drawings:
·
Diameter and
height of the column.
·
Dimensions and
details of column internals.
·
Manholes
·
Process Piping
Connections
·
Pump, exchanger,
drum drawings showing details of of process equipment adjacent to, or supported
on the column itself.
