All pipework shall comply with the statutory requirements of the country where the
Project is implemented. Wherever required by Mandatory Regulations, the successful
tenderer will have to obtain the approval of the relevant government agencies. Certain
prevailing statutory requirements are given below:
GENERAL
All piping shall be designed in accordance with applicable code mentioned in Cl. No. 2 .
The selection of applicable code for specific portion of piping shall be the responsibility
of the agency carrying out the detailed engineering. The design criteria set-out here
shall apply to all areas within and outside the process plant.
All process and utility piping shall be designed and engineered to adhere to the
following requirements:
Standard details will be part of this design basis, and, wherever appropriate, shall be
referred to and used in preference to other details. However, these are for guidance
only, and in no way, shall relieve the Piping Design Engineer/consultant to generate
further details necessary for the clarity in detailed engineering of piping system.
Piping design shall be based upon the process requirements indicated in the Process
Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Process Mass
Balance and all other relevant project specifications.
3.3.1 The design pressure of the system shall not be less than the maximum pressure
expected in service as specified in the Piping Line List. Design pressure is the highest-
pressure differential between the piping internal and external pressures that may be
experienced during normal operation. Design pressure is a function of the pressure-
producing equipment and is therefore project specific.
The design pressure shall not be less than any of the following criteria:
b) Where the piping system is protected by a pressure relief device, the piping design
pressure shall not be less than 1.2 times the set pressure of the device.
c) The design pressure for unrelieved pump discharge lines shall be at least 1.2 times
the shut-off head at the specified equipment operating speed.
d) Discharge piping on centrifugal pumps shall be designed for not less than 1.2 times
the maximum pump differential pressure plus the maximum possible pressure at the
pump suction nozzle.
e) Discharge piping for positive displacement pumps shall not be less than the design
pressure of the pump casing.
3.4.1 The design temperature shall not be less than the maximum temperature expected in
service as specified in the Piping Line List.
3.4.2 The design temperature for a piping system shall be the most severe (highest and
lowest) that can be achieved through any of the following circumstances:
a) Normal operation
b) Start-up, shutdown and reasonably anticipated fault or transient conditions
c) Regeneration cycles
d) Cooling due to rapid depressurization; and
e) Exothermic reactions such as acid mixing.
3.4.3 Design temperature may be the ambient metal temperature rather than the fluid
temperature for internally insulated components.
The required wall thickness shall be determined in accordance with ASME B31.3 for
process piping and ASME B 31.1 for power piping using the design pressure &
temperature. The calculated wall thickness shall include corrosion allowances. The wall
thicknesses of different services (main pipe & branch connections) are mentioned in
PMS.
3.6.1 Sizing of lines shall be done as per design mass and volumetric flows as indicated in
Process Mass Balance and PFDs. The flows shall be quantified as minimum/ normal/
maximum. No further allowance shall be made.
3.6.2 Final line sizing shall be calculated with due regard to the effects of friction losses,
erosion, solids settling, scaling, product degradation, water hammer, NPSHr and
process flow variations. For each flow stream given in the process Mass Balance the
Normal, Maximum (Design) and Minimum flow conditions shall be considered. The
following velocity ranges are provided as a guide for preliminary line sizing.
Note : Pipe size above DN 50 shall not be used for Acetylene service.
Steam piping network comes under the purview of IBR and thickness calculation shall
be carried-out as per stipulations indicated in IBR and approval of CIB shall be
obtained.
3.6.3 Hydraulic pipelines shall be adequately sized. The size of hydraulic pipes shall be such
that the velocity of fluid in pipeline shall be as follows:
For hydraulic pressure line upto 150 bar pressure: Velocity approx. 4.0 m/sec
For hydraulic pressure line above 150 bar pressure: Velocity approx. 4.5 m/sec
For tank return line: Velocity approx. 2.0 m/sec
For suction line: Velocity approx. 0.5 m/sec
For circulation line: Velocity approx. 1 to 1.5 m/sec
3.6.4 Pipe flows shall generally comply with the following guidelines:
a) Preliminary pipe sizes can be calculated based on the velocity range given in the
Table – 1. More detailed calculations shall take into account frictional pressure
losses, material costs and availability and machine sizing.
b) Slurry lines shall be checked on a case by case basis to ensure that solid settling
does not occur. However, excessive velocities will lead to higher pump power
demand and will cause excessive erosion. As such, careful consideration should be
given to all factors before a final line size is selected. Where a non-standard pipe
size is the only economic option, this shall be brought to the attention of Client /
Consultant for approval.
d) Suction lines shall be normally at least one line size larger than the discharge line
size.
e) Line sizing for non-settling fluids shall be based on the normal flow velocity.
Air header lines shall be sized to carry the average air demand for all users with a
pressure drop through the header not exceeding 20 kPa. Branch lines shall be sized for
the maximum flow rate with pressure drop not exceeding 20 kPa for the branch line.

corresponding sizes of non-metallic piping where sizing is based on nominal internal
diameter. Use of intermediate pipe sizes shall be avoided to the extent possible,
although to prevent either deposition or excessive erosion from excessive line velocity
in the case of slurry lines, intermediate pipe sizes may be recommended for approval
by the Owner / Consultant. Larger dia. Liquid and gas piping above DN 900 shall be
fabricated from plates. The nominal sizes for the same shall be either as per IS 3589 or

Where applicable, the local stresses on pipes, loads due to tank settlements and
dynamic flow conditions shall be considered during analysis.
5.4.4 All critical piping analyzed using software shall be checked for low modal frequencies
to mitigate the effects of damage due to vibration during the life of the plant. No piping
system with modes lower than 5 Hz shall be acceptable unless authorized by the
Owner/consultant. The effects of gap closure at guides shall be considered to filter out
unrealistic modes.
5.4.5 All piping systems and pipe supports shall be designed to minimize forces and moment
loading on equipment and structures. In order to reduce large forces and / or moments
acting on nozzles of sensitive equipment, expansion joints may be used at
connections, particularly in the cases where imposed loads exceed equipment
allowable loads and cannot be reduced through piping flexibility alone. However load
due bellow compensator at anchor points shall be considered in piping calculation.
5.5.1 Allowable forces and moments should be obtained from respective equipment vendor.
In case the same are not available, the following equipment nozzle loads may generally
be accepted, subject to ratification by the responsible static or rotating equipment
engineer/vendor. Where imposed loads exceed these values, the piping system shall
be redesigned with additional flexibility to reduce such imposed loads. Should redesign
not be sufficient to reduce nozzle loads, the equipment vendor shall be consulted for
concessions for higher nozzle loading.

Provide their stress calculations for review & Provide anchors on interface piping at the
battery limit.
Anchor points shall be capable of withstanding the (externally imposed) forces and
moments tabulated in Figure – 1. In cases where it is impractical to provide battery limit
anchors, the package supplier should advise such cases early in the design phase.
These cases will be resolved for acceptable piping free movements at the terminal
points.

15.22.1 Pipe with vertical rise / fall are required to be held in position by providing U-Clamps or
vertical restrictors / saddles provided with trestle / building structure, etc. The topmost
support shall be load bearing support and other supports shall be guide.
15.22.2 Pipes below DN 500 are held in position by means of U-clamp provided at each
supporting point in vertical pipe route.
15.22.3 Vertical steel pipework shall be supported at intervals of approximately 3500 mm and
at the base of each riser.
15.22.4 Vertical copper tubing shall be supported at approximately 3000 mm intervals for piping
of DN 40 and larger and 2000 mm for DN 32 and smaller.
15.23.1 For DN 600 and below, minimum spacing between adjacent pipes shall be based on
staggered flanges with at least 25 mm clearance between the outside of the bare or
insulated pipe, to the outside of the bare or insulated flange of the adjacent pipe. For
piping runs without flanges present a minimum of 50 mm spacing shall be designed for
between the outside of the two pipe walls or insulation. A minimum gap of 80mm is
required between piping and structural members (steel or concrete). Following Table –
10 should be used as guidance.

15.23.2 Distances between large dia pipes/ducts (above DN 600), if laid parallel, should be such
that minimum 1000 mm clear space all along the route between the pipes / ducts shall
be maintained. This is required for inspection & maintenance of the pipes / ducts and
mounted equipment, valves, instruments, etc. there on.
15.23.3 Additional clearance shall be provided for piping subject to large thermal expansion.
The Lead Piping Engineer or Stress Engineer is to be consulted in this regard.
15.23.6 The above spacing requirements shall be catered for in the Pipe Support Standard
Drawings specific to the project.
Pressure indicators (PI) and transmitters (PT) for use in general service shall be DN25,
flanged /threaded, as required.
16.4.1 Magnetic and vortex type flow meters in all services, but specifically settling slurry
service, shall be mounted in the vertical with flow upwards. Flow meters in non-settling
slurry or non-slurry service may be mounted in the horizontal if vertical is not possible
provided the meter is not in the high point of the line. The piping shall be a minimum of
1 in 5 as per line geometry.
16.4.3 Orifice type flow meters shall be mounted in the horizontal where possible.
16.4.4 Nuclear density gauges shall be mounted in the vertical with flow vertically up.
16.4.5 Particular care is required in the support of vortex meters to prevent vibration in the
pipe line.
16.4.6 The C&I engineer shall specify minimum up and downstream straight runs for in-line
instruments and any special installation requirements.
16.4.7 Magnetic flow transmitters and orifice plate locations shall be specified by the C&I
Engineer. Generally, Magnetic flow transmitters:
a) Shall be installed such that the element is filled with process media at all times.
16.5.1 Until certified data is available or as advised by the Instrumentation Engineer, on/off
and modulating control valves in slurry service shall provisionally be equal to the line
size, and modulating control valves for clear liquid and vapour service shall be one line
size smaller.
16.5.2 Where a high-pressure drop condition exists across a control valve, high fluid velocities
and high noise levels can be expected. Downstream piping subjected to these
conditions shall be designed to ensure that its configuration prevents excessive noise
and vibration.
16.5.3 Allow adequate space for the actuators when designing control stations. Heavy
actuators shall be supported rather than imposing loads on pipe.
16.5.4 Control valves in flashing service shall be located as far downstream as possible.
16.5.6 Sizing of control valves shall be based on flow rate and pressure parameters.
17.0 INSULATION
17.1 Lines that require insulation and cladding for heat conservation, solar protection or
personnel protection shall be nominated on the P&ID’s. Generally, piping where
surface temperatures exceed 60°C shall be insulated for personnel protection in areas
where contact with personnel is possible during day-to-day plant activity. Lines that are
not normally in operation, such as PSV discharge lines, shall not have personnel
protection insulation unless otherwise specified. Cold Insulation is applied on Chilled
water lines, Refrigerants etc. Selection of Insulation material, thickness shall be as per
Insulation standard. Refer TSL standard GSP-01-00-00-14-000-004 for insulation.
17.2 Insulation on nominated critical lines may require removable plugs to enable pipe wall
thickness testing to be completed.
18.0 PAINTING
Painting is done for rust prevention & surface protection. Painting of pipes will follow
the standard for Painting as per Painting general specification GSP-01-00-00-14-000-
001 R1.
