1. Numbering principle
Piping Valves Vessels (PVV) discipline "General Specifications" are identified as follows:
GS EP PVV XXX: (XXX = 3 digits)

These GS EP are split in 9 main technical topics (plus one related to generalities).
Each topic is identified by the first of the three digits, as follows:
GS EP PVV 0XX: Generalities
GS EP PVV 1XX: Piping and valves
GS EP PVV 2XX: Pressure vessels
GS EP PVV 3XX: Storage tanks
GS EP PVV 4XX: Heat exchangers and air coolers
GS EP PVV 5XX: Heaters, Boilers and Flares
GS EP PVV 6XX: Welding
GS EP PVV 7XX: Thermal Insulation and heat tracing
GS EP PVV 8XX: Skid mounted units
GS EP PVV 9XX: Inspection

As far as possible the following main activities have been treated in separate documents:
• Design
• Fabrication (in the shop)
• Erection (on site).
The two last digits are thus attributed accordingly.
Series X0X Generalities
X1X to X3X Design
X4X to X6X Shop fabrication and material supply
X7X to X9X Site erection

Finally the last digit has no specific meaning although code "XX0" would be in principle
dedicated to generalities related to one specific topic and one specific activity.

This document is the property of TOTAL S.A., it contains confidential information which may not be disclosed to any third party,
reproduced, stored or transmitted without the prior written consent of TOTAL S.A.
The information contained in this document does not substitute to the applicable laws and regulations.
