Thank you all for your valuable insights. So what I understood is as below, - It is not hard & fast rule (as always in Piping) that what comes first. It depends on various factors like revamp project or a completely new grass root project have different way of handling the sequence. - Cost...

Thanks for your reply Dhurjati...so is it the Pipe or the Supports? :) Thanks & Regards, Abhijit

Hello Dear experts, May I get some clarity on the construction sequence in a typical oil & gas plant facilities? Especially I am curious to know if the Pipe Supports comes first or the Piping above these supports first or is it like doing this together to avoid mismatches? I think Pipe...

Thanks for your advice pennpiper will check out on that. However, pls note provision for the same is not there in my support standard. If want to deviate, I need to get approved from Client as it is additional material/scope. Moltenmetal, It looks like you are of the opinion that I should...

Found something interesting....but if this is that critical why nowhere it is in written? Link- https://www.birdbgone.com/choose-by-industry/oil-gas.html I think Sell DEPs / codes etc. do not cover the same. Thanks & Regards, Abhijit

Thanks DGrayPPD for your quick responses on this issue making me to proceed with the consideration for bird screen. Still waiting if any DEP / Shell references... Thanks & Regards, Abhijit

100% agreed pennpiper. I think I would have re-framed my sentences in better way.... I should have said considering worst case in both scenarios however, should be possible for both open / close positions (not only the worst in terms of space required for the concerned valve). Thanks &...

thread378-337956 Dear All, I am in a situation wherein there is a 2" SS Drain piping to be supported by CS bolted clamped shoe. There are no insulators like liners etc. to avoid the contact in between the 2 different metals CS with SS. Kindly advice on this at the earliest about how this is...

Thanks for confirming that you see it all the time. Shell site? Then it would be wise to ask for but also it will not be surprising for them too... How is it not covered in DEP or I am not able to find it? Any Shell DEP expert pls comment back. Thanks & Regards, Abhijit

thread1203-220529 Hello All, I do not find anything written in Shell DEPs confirming the requirement for bird screens on the open to air PSV outlets. Do anybody have similar experience on Shell projects? If you know it is mentioned in the DEPs pls direct me to the same. As per me it is...

Dear All, Thanks for making this one interesting so far... Pls consider from a Layout Engineer's perspective wherein I want to manage the available space with me wherein sometimes it is very tight (every foot counts scenario in revamp jobs). Always, I want to manage my space considering worst...

Thanks to all of you for your inputs. MJCronin, basically it is all started with my recent field trip the article you are referring to below... http://www.plantservices.com/articles/2014/steam-leakage-tips/ However, as I am mostly working on the Engineering part of it, I am really keen on the...

Thanks for your inputs... Considering that Valves are a prime source of steam leaks, & the primary reason valves leak is because they are purchased based on price rather than the leak rate. Even a brand new valve will leak if it is not suited for the application. What kind of valves are...

Dear All, I have been recently visited a plant site for some revamp project information & saw steam leaking everywhere like at utility stations, steam traps etc. Most of the cases it was passing valves.... Steam leaks have multiple negative effects on steam-based plant operations, including...

Thanks all for your thoughtful inputs so far... In general, while checking isos I am careful or concerned for the actuator or handwheel orientation on the isometric for valves. Because if it is given to site do decide to orient valves the way they want to....we will have troubles as mentioned...

Thanks penpiper for the encouraging feedback....it means a lot when it comes from you. Thank you bimr for your inputs & stating that it is the motto of the supplier / received to have the container as small as possible however MFJewell & bcd is having a valid concern of valve getting damaged...

Dear All, Could you pls advice whether the valves ordered are going to get supplied at site with open or in close position? Question is applicable for any kind of routine piping valve i.e. Gate/Ball/Globe etc. but at the moment it is more specific for Ball valve (lever). Pls let me know...

Right Gator, but imagine if you have around 400 P&IDs & as always you don't want any mistake for MTO. I have not only heard but learned with my personal experience with MTO that, "MTO business is the dirtiest business in Piping". You are not allowed to go wrong in it or else the entire...
