that the connection size, type and schedule match the attributes of the pipe.
Check all valve actuators for correct size, orientation and that they are
accessible for operation and maintenance.

Check that there are adequate pipe spool lengths

between pipe line components. Use the following as a guide. Large Bore Butt
Weld: Minimum spool length equivalent to the length of a butt weld reducer.
Small Bore Socket Weld: Minimum exposed pipe length between socket weld
components ends shall be 2.
Check that there is adequate separation distance
between pipe branches and adequate separation distances between branches
and pipe line ends or components.
Check that instrument connections that require access are accessible and that
the orientation on the pipe is correct.
Check for proper connection type and size. Check that all Instrument
connections reference the correct standard detail number, and there are
sufficient clearances for element removal from pipe.
- Temperature connections shall be located downstream of pressure
connections.
- Temperature thermowells cannot be installed in pipes smaller than 3.
Check insulation requirements to Project insulation class codes and thickness.
Add insulation support lugs on vertical runs of alloy pipe.
Check that piping is Heat Traced as identified on the system P&ID and
in accordance with the Project Heat Tracing Criteria.
Check that all concrete floor, platform grating, wall, and
grade penetrations are indicated and labeled on piping isometrics. Callout core
drilled openings in existing walls when required.
Check that water stops are provided on underground piping at floor and
wall penetrations.
Check that pipe systems that require slope have the proper minimum slope
and the correct slope direction. For hot piping verify pipe does not reverse
slope in hot position.
Check that pipe supports are shown when
required and locations, quantity, and tag numbers have been review and
approved by the Piping Engineering department. Check that shop welded pipe
support attachment details are provided on alloy piping for shop welding
before shop stress relieving.
Check that all pipe and pipe component material descriptions in the isometric
drawing material list matches the engineering pipe line
specification.

Check that insulating flange kits are identified on aboveground

piping systems connecting to underground pipe systems where required by the
pipeline specification.
Check that dissimilar metal welds that may occur at valves,
equipment nozzles, and material spec changes are identified and transition
pieces are provided if required.
Check that dissimilar pipe and component wall thicknesses that may occur at
valves, equipment nozzles, and at material spec changes are identified and
transition pieces or taper bores are provided if required. ASME Power Piping
Code B31.1 Section 127.3C allows a 1/16 (.0625) internal pipe wall
misalignment (each side) for welding without taper boring the
connecting pipe. Example of piping drawing identification of dissimilar wall
thickness taper bore: TAPER BORE SCH 160 PIPE TO MATCH SCH 80
VALVE

Check that the system is interference free by a visual review of the

model and that a recent electronic interference report from the model had been
reviewed and cleared. If a non 3D project, review all discipline reference
drawings. If the pipe routing is within an existing plant area, verify a field
interference check was performed.
For hot piping verify pipe clearances in hot positions.
For hot piping verify WorleyParsons Piping Engineering Department
has approved the thermal flexibility of the pipe. Checker is responsible to
obtain pipe thermal movements and verify clearances in hot position and that
pipe does not reverse slope causing low point pockets. Thermal movements
direction and distance shall be noted on check prints in blue for future
reference.

Check that no electronic instrument, valve actuator, or other electronic

component within the pipe or attached to the pipe falls within a Hazardous
Area of the plant.
Check that the pipe system layout does not obstruct plant personnel access,
construction access, and maintenance areas of the plant. Check that the pipe
system lowest appendage (including pipe support clamps) is above 6-8
headroom and does not affect plant safety.

Check that the pipe system layout meets the requirements of the connecting
equipment vendor requirements or common practice.
The checker shall read all vendor criteria. Examples:
- Pump suction straight diameters, eccentric reducers
- Steam Turbine vendor requirements
- Check pipe system against Equipment Vendor P&ID if applicable
- Installation and Maintenance Manuals
Check that safety valve discharges, gas vents, etc are
discharged in a safe location that will not be harmful to personnel, structures,
or equipment. Confirm safety valve discharges do no impact noise abatement
requirements. Confirm gas (fuel gas, hydrogen) discharge points are indicated
on hazardous area location drawings.
Check that underground pipe has adequate cover to protect from crushing from
vehicle, railroad, and crane loads and is below frost depth.
Check that pipe system layout is within established pipe north/south,
east/west pipe lanes and elevations established within the plant. Underground
piping shall have common bottom of pipe elevations for trenching.
Check that the pipe system does not interfere with areas to be
occupied by structural gusset plates. Not all gusset plates are in the model and
those that are modeled may not represent the actual structural fabricators detail
and requirements. Checkers must do a visual model interference check at
gusset plate areas and interface with structural design to assure sufficient
clearances.
Check for potential interferences in the area of large pipe component
reinforcement plates, especially at crotch areas of laterals.
Check local and state codes for separation requirements between underground
potable water and waste water systems to prevent pollution of potable water.
Check that there are pipe spools between all HDPE pipe fittings to
accommodate differences in physical dimensions between HDPE fitting
manufactures. Check that Butterfly Valves discs are not obstructed from
opening when connected to heavy wall HDPE pipe. Pipe spacers
may be required between the flange and valve body.
Check that pipe routing maintains approximately 9 inches of clearance from
vertical structural columns and walls (including hot position) to allow space
for field routed utilities.

 Olet type pipe branch fittings (weldolet, sweepolet, etc)

dimensions (run pipe centerline to the fitting outlet) are approximate because
the dimension varies by manufacture. Check that fitting to fitting design on the
outlet of the olet branch fittings is not used. A pipe spool is required for
adjustment by the pipe fabricator to suit actual fitting dimensions while
maintaining the overall geometry of the pipe system.
Includes commonly found piping isometric Isogen software errors requiring
manual annotation.
a) Orifice Flange pressure tap orientations incorrectly shown by Isogen.
b) Dimensions or dimension strings starting at pipe caps. Isogen dimension is
from cap work point (center of cap where blue line stops) but dimensions on
drawing appears to be from end of cap.
c) Eccentric Reducer offset dimensions incorrectly shown by Isogen do not
match actual fitting offsets as manufactured and should be deleted.

Check the location and limits of drawing HOLDs to areas of the drawing that
are incomplete or can not be verified and approved by the checker prior to
issue due to insufficient engineering, vendor, client or other discipline
information.
Check that all drawing holds are included in the Holds List for the project
