Piping Isometric Drawings

Advertisement

Piping Isometric drawing is an isometric representation of single pipe line in a plant. It is the
most important deliverable of piping engineering department. Piping fabrication work is based
on isometric drawings.

Piping isometric drawing consists of three sections. Main Graphic section consist of Isometric
Representation of a pipe line route in 3D space, which includes following information :

1. Line number.
2. Flow Direction.
3. Support Tags and location.
4. Piping Components location.
5. Weld Locations.

Section on left or right side of drawing consists of Bill of Material Section for the portion of
line shown in isometric graphic. It includes following information for all components :

1. Component Description.
2. Component Material Code.
3. Nominal Size.
4. Quantity.
5. Whether shop material or eld material.
6. Number of Spools.

Title bar section at the bottom consists of following information.

1. Project details such as client name, engineering of ce name, project name, project number,
process licensor etc.
2. Pipe line details such as Line Number, Line Size, Insulation, Tracing, Fluid Code, Operating
and Design pressure and temperatures, Pressure Testing method such as hydrotest or
pneumatic, Test pressure, Piping material class, Inch Dia etc.

Calculations
Inch Meter = Pipe length in Meters X Pipe Size in Inch

Inch Dia = Pipe size in Inch X Number of Joints

Isometric Drawing Checklist

Isometric drawing needs to be checked as per project standard isometric drawing checklist. It
includes General Isomtric Check Points as well as Project Speci c Check Points.

Project Speci c Instructions for Isometrics Checking

Every project has speci c requirements. These needs to be re ected in isometrics drawings.
Some of these requirements can be regarding following points

1. Pressure Safety Valves

a. Inlet/outlet bolt scope of supply.
b. Outlet bolts and gaskets in which line, inlet or outlet.
2. Fire Fighting lines
1. Spool piece requirements.
2. Flange types ( at face or raised face)
3. Process Vents and Drains
4. Hydrotest vents and drains
5. Flow meters straight run requirements
6. Insulation thickness and scope
7. Valves selection / Tagging
8. Jackscrew ange requirements
9. Hold identi cation
10. Union / Coupling requirements
11. Galvanized lines spool sizes
12. Dyke Penetration markup
13. Support markup notes
14. Ori ce ange orientation / typical sketch
15. PID Tapping sequence markp
16. Flange / gaskets and bolts at iso sheet end
17. Sheet break philosophy.
