SCOPE

This specification covers the supply of piping materials for the Project.
Substitutions shall not be made without the prior written approval of the Engineer.
2.0

STANDARD CODES AND SPECIFICATIONS

Piping materials shall conform to the latest editions of the standards shown on the individual line classification sheets
unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer.
Material specification sheets are provided in Appendix A, however materials specified on design drawings shall take
precedence over this specification. Conflicts shall be brought to the attention of the Engineer for rectification.

All pipework shall be fabricated, installed and tested in accordance with Piping Specification 5026-PS-002 - Piping
Fabrication, Installation and Testing.

Valve types will be identified by means of pictorial representations design drawings and numbered in accordance with
Piping Specification 5026-PS-003 - Valve Schedule.
All valving will be free issued by the Engineer, unless noted otherwise in the contract documentation.

All piping operating above 60C shall be insulated for personnel protection, excluding piping higher than 2.5m above any
floor, platform or walkway and greater that 1.5 m horizontally from any handrail or ladder.

Non standard items will be assigned a unique identifying instrument number on design drawings and instrument lists and
will be free issued by the Engineer.

Any discrepancy between the design drawings and this specification shall be brought to the attention of the Engineer for
rectification.

IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF PIPELINES

3.1

Identification

Pipelines shall be identified on the piping drawings by a unique number in accordance with an alpha-numeric system comprising five
elements:
Element 1 - Numeric
Two or three digits indicating nominal pipe size.
Element 2 - Alphabetic
Two or three capital letters indicating pipeline contents class.
Element 3 - Alpha-numeric
One capital letter and one number indicating piping materials class.
Element 4 - Numerical
Two or three digits indicating sequential line number within that pipeline contents class and piping materials class.
Element 5 - Alphabetic
Two letters, either TI (Thermal Insulation), HT (Heat Tracing) or PP (Personnel Protection. Note, however, that Element
5 is only utilized where required.
An indicative line number is therefore 80-SS-S2-010-PP, where:
