Piperack Design and Planning Guide

The piperack is the main artery of a process unit that connects all equipment with piping and cannot run through adjacent areas. It must be erected early in construction before being obstructed by other equipment. Considerable planning is required due to the piperack's high costs, and its design considers factors like rack width, levels, bent spacing, flexibility, and access for maintenance. Data required for piperack design includes plot plans, P&IDs, specifications, materials, and fireproofing requirements.

• Requires considerable planning and coordination with other technology
groups regarding construction because costs are so high.
• Design concern includes:
1. Rack Widh
2. No of levels and elevations.
