4.16 Heat Tracing. Check that piping is Heat Traced as identified on the system P&ID and
in accordance with the Project Heat Tracing Criteria.
4.17 Pipe Penetrations symbols. Check that all concrete floor, platform grating, wall, and
grade penetrations are indicated and labeled on piping isometrics. Callout core drilled
openings in existing walls when required.
4.18 Waterstops. Check that water stops are provided on underground piping at floor and
wall penetrations.
4.19 Slope. Check that pipe systems that require slope have the proper minimum slope
and the correct slope direction. For hot piping verify pipe does not reverse slope in hot
position.
4.20 Pipe Supports and Welded Attachments. Check that pipe supports are shown when
required and locations, quantity, and tag numbers have been review and approved by
the Piping Engineering department. Check that shop welded pipe support attachment
details are provided on alloy piping for shop welding before shop stress relieving.
4.21 Material List on Isometrics. Check that all pipe and pipe component material
descriptions in the isometric drawing material list matches the engineering pipe line
specification.
4.22 Insulating Flange Kits. Check that insulating flange kits are identified on aboveground
piping systems connecting to underground pipe systems where required by the
pipeline specification.
4.23 Dissimilar Metal Welds. Check that dissimilar metal welds that may occur at valves,
Shares
equipment nozzles, and material spec changes are identified and transition pieces are
provided if required.
4.24 Dissimilar pipe and/or component wall thickness. Check that dissimilar pipe and
component wall thicknesses that may occur at valves, equipment nozzles, and at
material spec changes are identified and transition pieces or taper bores are provided
if required. ASME Power Piping Code B31.1 Section 127.3C allows a 1/16” (.0625”)
internal pipe wall misalignment (each side) for welding without taper boring the
connecting pipe. Example of piping drawing identification of dissimilar wall thickness
taper bore: TAPER BORE SCH 160 PIPE TO MATCH SCH 80 VALVE
5.0 PIPING SYSTEM ROUTING AND LAYOUT CHECK
5.1 Interference Check. Check that the system is interference free by a visual review of the
model and that a recent electronic interference report from the model had been reviewed
and cleared. If a non 3D project, review all discipline reference drawings. If the pipe
routing is within an existing plant area, verify a field interference check was performed.
For hot piping verify pipe clearances in hot positions.
5.2 Thermal Analysis. For hot piping verify WorleyParsons Piping Engineering Department
has approved the thermal flexibility of the pipe. Checker is responsible to obtain pipe

thermal movements and verify clearances in hot position and that pipe does not reverse
slope causing low point pockets. Thermal movement’s direction and distance shall be
noted on check prints in blue for future reference.
5.3 Hazardous Areas. Check that no electronic instrument, valve actuator, or other electronic
component within the pipe or attached to the pipe falls within a Hazardous Area of the
plant.
5.4 Plant Personnel Access, Construction Access, Maintenance Areas, and Safety. Check
https://piping-info.blogspot.in/2010/10/piping-drawings-checking-procedure.html 4/8
12/29/2017 Piping Info: Piping Drawings Checking Procedure
that the pipe system layout does not obstruct plant personnel access, construction
access, and maintenance areas of the plant. Check that the pipe system lowest
appendage (including pipe support clamps) is above 6’-8” headroom and does not affect
plant safety.
5.5 Pump and Equipment Requirements. Check that the pipe system layout meets the
requirements of the connecting equipment vendor requirements or common practice.
The checker shall read all vendor criteria. Examples:
- Pump suction straight diameters, eccentric reducers
- Steam Turbine vendor requirements
- Check pipe system against Equipment Vendor P&ID if applicable
- Installation and Maintenance Manuals
5.6 System Discharge Points. Check that safety valve discharges, gas vents, etc are
discharged in a safe location that will not be harmful to personnel, structures, or
equipment. Confirm safety valve discharges do no impact noise abatement requirements.
Confirm gas (fuel gas, hydrogen) discharge points are indicated on hazardous area
location drawings.
5.7 Underground Pipe Burial Depth. Check that underground pipe has adequate cover to
protect from crushing from vehicle, railroad, and crane loads and is below frost depth.
5.8 Pipe Lanes. Check that pipe system layout is within established pipe north/south,
east/west pipe lanes and elevations established within the plant. Underground piping shall
have common bottom of pipe elevations for trenching.
5.9 Structural Gusset Plates. Check that the pipe system does not interfere with areas to be
occupied by structural gusset plates. Not all gusset plates are in the model and those
that are modeled may not represent the actual structural fabricators detail and
requirements. Checkers must do a visual model interference check at gusset plate areas
and interface with structural design to assure sufficient clearances.
5.10 Circulating Water Branch Component Reinforcement Plate clearance. Check for
potential interferences in the area of large pipe component reinforcement plates,
especially at crotch areas of laterals.
5.11 Underground Potable Water and Waste Water Separation. Check local and state
codes for separation requirements between underground potable water and waste
water systems to prevent pollution of potable water.

5.12 HDPE Pipe Fitting Separation and Butterfly Valves. Check that there are pipe spools
between all HDPE pipe fittings to accommodate differences in physical dimensions
between HDPE fitting manufactures. Check that Butterfly Valves discs are not
obstructed from opening when connected to heavy wall HDPE pipe. Pipe spacers
may be required between the flange and valve body.
5.13 Clearance from vertical structural columns and walls. Check that pipe routing
maintains approximately 9 inches of clearance from vertical structural columns and walls
(including hot position) to allow space for field routed utilities.
5.14 ‘Olet Branch Dimensions. ‘ Olet type pipe branch fittings (weldolet, sweepolet, etc)
dimensions (run pipe centerline to the fitting outlet) are approximate because the
dimension varies by manufacture. Check that fitting to fitting design on the outlet of
the ‘olet branch fittings is not used. A pipe spool is required for adjustment by the pipe
fabricator to suit actual fitting dimensions while maintaining the overall geometry of
the pipe system.
5.15 Miscellaneous Items for Checking List. Includes commonly found piping isometric
Isogen software errors requiring manual annotation.
a) Orifice Flange pressure tap orientations incorrectly shown by Isogen.
b) Dimensions or dimension strings starting at pipe caps. Isogen dimension is
from cap work point (center of cap where blue line stops) but dimensions
on drawing appears to be from end of cap.
c) Eccentric Reducer offset dimensions incorrectly shown by Isogen do not
match actual fitting offsets as manufactured and should be deleted.
6.0 HOLDS CHECK
6.1 Holds. Check the location and limits of drawing HOLDs to areas of the drawing that are
incomplete or can not be verified and approved by the checker prior to issue due to
insufficient engineering, vendor, client or other discipline information. See Section 2.2.
6.2 Hold List. Check that all drawing holds are included in the Holds List for the project.
7.0 PIPING DRAWING CHECK LIST
7.1 Check List. A summary of the items identified in this procedure is provided in
