5. Electrical and Instruments
Equipment 3D Modelling

1. Before Equipment positioning we need to consider below points,

• Man access
• Space consideration for plant
• Underground piping and UG drains
2. Equipment vendor drawing need to be check
3. Nozzle orientation, size and Ratings
4. Nozzle sizes to be cross check with P&ID also
5. Man Hole clearance to be maintain
6. Tank slope to be check
Piping 3D Modelling

 While modelling Pipe Below Documents to be Refer,

• We need to study the design philosophy for particular project

• PMS and line list we need to Refer
• P&ID and Legend
• Numbering philosophy
• Instrument Hook-up drawings
• Valve and instrument data sheets
• Piping support standard
• Critical and non critical line list to be Refer
• Tie-In points locations if applicable
• Client standard like shell DEP or OSID or Other standards
Piping 3D Modellig

 Piping basic engineering while modelling

• As per P&ID to be model

• We need cross check nozzle sizes with equipment GA drawings
• Pipe to pipe space to be maintain
• Piping insulation or tracing to be maintain each Fittings and Pipes
• Any drain connection bottom of valve/flange to floor/platform minimum
distance to be maintain (minimum 150mm but standard 300mm) Refer
snaps
• We need provide high point vent or low point drain for 3D loop and if line
routed with pockets there also
• All valve and instruments to be modelled as per accessible area
• Above tank any valves or instruments are there means we need provide
platform
Clearance For Drain connection
Piping 3D Modellig

• Man walkway and Maintenance to be maintain

• Head room clearance to be maintain-2.1meter
• Support span to be check
• Possibility combined support to be modelled
• Insulation line above 2” shoe it will come
• Other than CS pipe (insulated or non-insulated) like SS and AS base plate
or wear pad it will come
• Maintenance space 750mm width height 2100mm
• Strainer and control and instrument removal space we need consider
• For control valve, Strainers/Filters, Inline valve, Spectle blind, Instrument
valves, Flow meters, Actuated valves and other piping valves access way
and Maintenance refer below,

Clearance Pipes
Clearance Pipes
Clearance In-between Two Pipes

 BOTH PIPE INSULATED:

d= ½ Flange OD + ½ Bare pipe OD + Both Pipe
Insulation Thickness + 30mm(flange OD should be
higher size pipe) (minimum 50mm)
Clearance In-between Two Pipes

 BOTH PIPE NON INSULATED:

d= ½ Flange OD + ½ Bare pipe OD + 75mm (flange OD
should be higher size pipe) (minimum 50mm)
Clearance In-between Two Pipes

 INSULATED AND NON INSULATED PIPES:

d= ½ Flange OD + ½ Bare pipe OD + Insulation
Thickness + 75mm (flange OD should be higher size
pipe) (minimum 50mm)
Clearance In-between Pipes and Structure

 d= ½ Flange OD + ½ Structure Member size+ 75mm

(Minimum 50mm)
Clearance In between civil and Pipes

• Any civil foundation or equipment we need maintain minimum gap 30mm

safe gap 50mm
• Long running pipes max 150m once we need to provide one loop
• Higher pressure Steam lines all loops and pocket location we need to
provide steam trap assembly.
• Control valve and pipe rack& combined support location eccentric flat
side down reducer to be provided
• Pump suction line we need to use eccentric flat side up reducer
• Flare line tapping or connection should be lateral connection or 45 deg
otherwise 90 deg.
• Flare line slope always towards knock drum side only

Navis file
• From PDMS to we will convert Navis file like
nwd format
• EXPORT FILE /D:/XXX.RVM
• EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR ON
• EXPORT HOLES ON
• EXPORT CE
• EXPORT FINISH
