List of unfinished work or unmatched item according to DRWG and specifications before Hydro- test.
4)Type of Supports :
Spring support, Hanger support, Dummy support, Shoe, Anchor, Guide and Pick up.
5) Check valve: Designed to permit flow of liquid or gas in a one direction and close if flow reverses.
5) Steam Tracing: To prevent fluid from congealing, forming hydrates, condensing, interfering with operation or
causing any damage to piping, equipment and instrument.
6) Vents: Are needed to let gas usually air in and out of service. Basically to remove air pockets from the line.
h) Pick up support - a support resting small diameter pipe using large diameter pipe instead of steel structure.
b) What is the minimum sized piping that can be installed on pipe racks (1”)
9)How many threads can be visible after seal welding threaded joints?
10) What is the gap requirement for socket welds for new construction?

freedom of piping movement. Alternatively, flush grind and NDT can be allowed as long as weld location will not
restrict piping movement
13) Drip legs: Often made from pipe and fittings, the drip leg is an inexpensive means of collecting condensate.
Removal of condensates from steam lines.
14) Piping and Instrument diagram: This drawing is commonly referred to as the P & ID. Its object is to indicate all
process and service lines, instrument and controls, equipment and data necessary for the design group. The process
flow diagram is the primary source of information for developing the P&ID’S.
A mandatory item in the quality plan that guides and assures quality in a Specific type of work in basic sequence of
QC activity steps.
A document that details the specific steps needed to fulfill the QC activity in the ITP.
A specification is a guide line to assure that minimum Quality standards are met.
19) What types of inspection action points are found in the ITP?
20) What are the differences between the 4 types of inspection points?
Piping and instrument diagram will show the piping layout and detailed notes relating to piping and instrumentation.
Safety Instruction Sheet that gives full design details related to a piping system or Line.

27) What things are found in a piping isometric drawing?
Line conditions, references to drawings, materials of construction, elevations, Orientation, piping and drawing details
and notes, revision control and approval Status.
Process Industry Practice details requirements for fabrication an Industry Practice. These are often the basis for SA
standards.
a) How do you verify the material? And mention several items to check.
Mill Certificate, heat number, color coding and PMI, schedule, rating, Carbon equivalent
d) What are the tolerances for physical piping straightness and defects?
Check the ASTM or API piping specification.
Check the Gasket material as per the drawing and specification, size, rating and visual Inspection of surface
damages.

# Check that correct bolts and gaskets are installed at all reinstated joints completed and recorded.
# Check that all process blinds and spades have been correctly installed as indicated on the
P & ID.
# Check that correct valves have been installed in the correct ‘Flow’ position.
# Check that specified block valves have locking devices correctly installed.
# Check that all valves are functioning properly and that spindle has been coated with copa-slip
# Check that all pump suction strainers have been correctly installed.
# Check that correct flow through filters, and strainers, traps, check valves and globe valves.
5) Ensure all line listed in test package are identified and test pressure is correct as per LDT.
