PIPING DRAWINGS 528 Process equipment and iping systems have priority. Drawings listed on the preceding page must be reviewed for compatibility with the developing piping design Pertinent background details (drawn faintly) from these drawings help to ‘void interferences. Omission of such detail from the piping drawing often leads to the subsequont discovery that pipe fas boon routed thru a brace, siainwey, doorway, foundation, duct, mechanical equipment, motar contro! conter, irefighting equipment, otc, Completed pining crawines will also show spool numbers, if this part of the job is not subcontracted — see 5.29. Electrical snd instrument cables are not shown on piging drevdngs, but trays to hold the cebles are indicated for exemple, se figure 6.3, point (). It is not slways possible for the piping drawing to fallow axactly the logical ferangement of the P&4D. Sometimes lis must be routed with diffrent junction sequence, and line numbers may be changed. During the preliminary Piping studies, economies end practicable improvements may befound, and the PID may be modifad to take these into account. Hotmver, itis not the Ping designer's ob to seek ways to chenge the P&ID.

Unity stations can also be established. This will indicate ateas of major usage and the most convoniont locations for the headers. Obviously, at times there will be number of alternate routes offering comparable edventages PROCESS & SERVICE LINES ON PIPING DRAWINGS (¢ Take tine numbers from the P&ID.
