This document is a checklist for reviewing nozzle and clip orientation drawings. It contains over 30 items to check, including verifying the number and orientation of nozzles against other design documents, checking for interferences and clearances, including support details, and ensuring manhole access. A QA/QC review must also be performed to incorporate any safety, design, or client comments before finalizing the drawing.

1 Check the Nozzle orientation drawing with P & ID-
Number of nozzles, nozzle tags,nozzle sizes, any specific requirements indicated in P & ID
2 Check relative orientations of
Nozzles ( e.g.,inlet w.r.to outlet) Check Nozzle orientation with Process Data sheet, particularly when internals / Equipment specification to take care of process baffles are present. requirements
3 Nozzle orientation drawing is the
input for Vendor drg. Is it needed Check Nozzle orientation with vendor drawing to be checked with Vendor drawing.
4 Check the following
- Flanges and the RF pads of the nozzles are not fouling
- Nozzles are not fouling and adequate clearance is
provided with weld seam, reinforcing ring/ stiffner ring
- Nozzles are not fouling with the internals
Check clearances on the sides as - Nozzles are not fouling with external structurals well as the top of the vessel - Adequate clearance for the opening of manholes
- Orientation of supports, lifting lug, tailing lug, name
plate, earthing boss, anchor chairs, all nozzles are shown
- Elevation of Bottom T/L & Height of skirt, Under side
elevation of support lug/ring & its distance from Bottom T/L is shown for vertical vessel.
PIP-CL-015 CHECKLIST FOR NOZZLE & CLIP ORIENTATION DRAWING SHEET 2 OF 2 abc CHECK LIST YES NO N/A COMMENTS
- Table indicating the elevation of all the nozzles from a
Common reference line(Bottom Tan line for Vertical and Centrelline of Fixed saddle for horizontal vessel), the projection of nozzles,the size, rating and orientation of nozzles.
- Centre line elevation of horizontal vessel & Distance of
underside of saddle with centre line vessel is shown. Also show fixed and sliding saddle.
- Orientation, elevation, extent of platform, ladder,
Staircase, column devit, lightening arrestor is shown.
- Scope of supply of the platform i.e. by the purchaser or
by vendor
- Internals are not located infront of manhole to block the
entry in the vessel
- Cathodic protection requirement & incorporate the
requirements. (Applicable for Vertical storage tanks and buried vessels)
- Pipesupport cleats along with loading in a tabular format
- Cleats required for instrument/Electrical cables
- Provide loads if lines are supported on the platform.
- Check Slope of bottom plate and orientation of the drain
/ cleanout nozzle for vertical tanks checked.
- Check the extent of spiral staircase, intermediate
platforms,number of steps. Check manholes are accessible from intermediate landings (For large vertical storage tanks)
