Notes:
02 - Pipe Bending shall be used ONLY where specified on the drawings or where
approved in writing by the EWP project engineer.
03 - Specify WN flanges adjacent to welded fittings and/or Butterfly Valves as alternates
only.
05 - Threaded joints are permitted only at terminal of vent, drain, and hydrostatic test
connections, and at instrument take-off points, and to match equipment.
06 - EWP's TED site preference, class 2000 threaded FS fittings are made only in 45
and 90 elbows, tees, and crosses. The class 2000 fittings are rated same as sch XS/80
(max) threaded pipe. Class 3000 fittings found in existing lines may be replaced by
class 2000.
14 - Line blinds, spacers, restricting orifices, and spectacle blinds shall be per Standard
Details Doc. No...01 thru 04.
18 - Conical Strainer to be used as temporary start-up strainer at pumps.
20 - Thread sealant to be used on all thread joints except if seal welding is used. Refer
to Specification Doc. No....
22 - These Valves have no flanges but are installed between line flanges with extra
length bolts.
23 - Cast Valves used in "critical service" or "very critical" service should be considered
for radiographic inspection.
24 - BW gate or globe is for alternate use.
25 - Reducing fittings that have ends of different thickness must show thickness (e.g.,
Conc. Red - SCH XS x SCH STD).
31 - Butterfly Valves NPS 6 & smaller w/ handle; NPS 8 & larger w/ gear operator. Do
not use above 177C service.
32 - Intended for orifice taps only.

33 - Doc. No... for slurry service.

34 - Valves with PTFE may be chosen for use in the OXO reactor loop piping.
35 - Valve Index 180 is alternate for 180K.
36 - May be used for Relief Valve changeover.
