2.2.3 Piping calculations
The following design calculations are to be provided as sup-
porting documents to the submitted plans and drawings:
• piping and pressure vessels strength calculations, in par-
ticular for calculation of steam pipes and other pressure
piping
• fire water demand and fire pump capacity calculations.
2.2.4 Electrical calculations
Electrical design calculations are to be provided as support-
ing documents to the submitted plans and drawings, includ-
ing:
• electrical balance, estimated for the different conditions
of operation of unit (refer to Ch 1, Sec 1, [1.6.4])
• justification of sizes of conductors (temperature rises
and voltage drops)
• for installations where the total rated current of genera-
tors arranged to run in parallel is above 1000 A, estima-
tion of the prospective short-circuit currents
• where the main bus-bar maximum symmetrical short-
circuit current is expected to exceed 50 kA, justification
of the bus-bar and bracket strength related to the
induced electromagnetic forces.
2.2.5 Additional class notations
Additional calculations as may be called for concerning the
assignment of additional class notations are to be also pro-
vided.

umn and floater, column and deck in column stabilized
units), in way of foundations of jacking systems for self-
elevating units, drilling derrick, anchoring equipment,
crane foundations and of all other parts liable to be sub-
ject to high local loadings or stress concentrations

• arrangements and details of watertight doors and other
closing appliances; arrangement and details of all open-
ings and means of closure including locations of over-
flow and air pipes
