PTS 12.30.

02: PIPING GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Scope of Assessment:
The scope covers design and installation for both upstream and downstream piping including selection and requirements for piping for various fluids and system
except for the piping systems specified in Section 1.1.4. This PTS also specifies additional requirements for specific services and precaution during construction
and pre-commissioning for compliance by Contractor.
