Piping Engineering Deliverables: Piping Design Basis

Objective of this article is to give information about piping design basis document. What is this document and how it is prepared? What are the inputs required to prepare this document? What basic information this document contains? And how information in this document is used for further piping engineering activities.It is my intention to cover key topics that should be covered in piping design basis and give brief explanation about it.

Piping Engineering Deliverables

In this particular post I will give brief idea about different knowledge areas of piping engineering and what type of the documents prepared by engineers working in those areas. Covering all the documents could be a huge and impractical task, so the aim is to cover only key, five to six documents from each area and try to write about them in brief.

Pressure and Temperature for Operating, Design and Test Conditions of Piping.

Process parameters are one of the very first esseitial inputs with which further progress of piping design is possible. This blog post intend to cover basic information about pressure and temperature for Operating, Design and Testing conditions. It also mentions points that need to be considered while determining these parameters.

Layout considerations for Valves.

Valves are one of the key components in piping. They are used to start, stop, regulate, control, divert the flow of fluid running insided pipe. This blog will focus solely on Layout related considerations for valves. Where to locate them? How to access them? what are the upstream and downstream requirements? How to handle them during maintanence? What type of operator should be provided? and so on...
