STANDARD DESIGN DRAWING:
3. INSTALLATION RULES
3.1.1. General
a) Piping will be arranged so that the equipment or the part of it that requires
maintenance (exchangers, tube bundles, pumps, etc.) can be removed without
removing block valves or all the lines connected to same equipment.
c) Pipes will be assembled as far as possible in bundles. Bundle elevation will vary
in order to allow deviations, extensions and orthogonal crossings, without
interferences.
d) Pipes will be designed in order to avoid liquid or gas pockets; otherwise a vent
for gas pockets and a drain for liquid pockets will be provided respectively.
e) In pipes conducting caustic products, acids, liquids that can solidify or gas that
can create corrosive condensate, fluid stagnation points will be avoided.
f) Branches from air, condensate, steam or gas headers will be executed on the
top of the pipe. In particular cases and anyhow when the branch diameter is
smaller than the manifold diameter, a lateral branch is acceptable.
g) Branches from liquid product headers will be generally made on the bottom of
the pipes. Lateral and top branches are acceptable however.
a) At the inlet and at the outlet of safety valves, the valve stem will be always
oriented horizontally.
b) On pipes containing dangerous liquids, the valve stem will never be installed
below the horizontal level.
c) On cryogenic service pipes, the valve stem will be oriented vertically or at the
most at 45 from vertical.
d) Chain for valve handling shall not obstruct passage areas. The chain will extend
to 900 mm above the operation platform.
e) All the CSO/LO gate valves will be installed with horizontal stem, in order to
avoid the wedge falling due to gravity and obstruct the fluid flow in case of
failure.
b) If a check valve is installed in such a way that when it closes liquid accumulates
in the pipes, a drain is required upstream from the valve.
a) On plug valves and ball valves chain operation and/or operation by extension will
be allowed only in exceptional cases.
b) The position indicator of gear-operated plug and ball valves shall be visible from
operational floor.
a) In butterfly valve installation, check that during handling the butterfly does not
interfere with elements inside pipes (thermometer pockets, line reductions,
internal coating etc.).
b) If butterfly valve is not "Threaded legs type", supplementary couple of flanges will
be installed when downstream line can be removed during maintenance
operations.
c) Drain diameter:
Except for lines containing heavy products whose diameter will be 1" minimum.
d) For vents and drains installed on high pressure lines or hydrogen lines, the first
connecting nipple to main line will be SCH. 160 minimum.
e) Drains installed on hydrogen and GPL lines will be designed with a double valve.

The typical assemblies are shown in the following FEED Standard Design
Drawings:
3.2.2. Instruments
The typical installation assemblies for instruments are shown in the following FEED
standard drawings:
a) Installation criteria
b) Inlet line
- The safety valve inlet line will be vertical and as short as possible; fittings
used will be kept to a minimum to minimize the pressure drop.
- In order to reduce mechanical stress on safety valves and on relevant inlet
lines, the reaction forces caused by valve opening must be taken into
consideration, especially in the case of discharge into the atmosphere.
A proper analysis of such forces and relevant effects on valve and
connected piping will be made applying the calculation criteria for such
forces as per ASME B31.1 (Appendix II para. 2.3) and in API 520.
- Gate valves shall be installed with horizontal stem, in order to avoid the
wedge falling due to gravity, and obstructing the fluid flow in case of failure.
- In case of joint assembly of a main safety valve and a spare safety valve,
block valves on the inlet and outlet lines will be installed creating a system
which does not allow the block valves to be closed on the main safety valve
without first opening the block valves on the spare safety valve, or vice
versa. This system can be obtained by mechanical interlock or using valves
with padlocks.
- For safety valves with operating temperatures below zero degrees Celsius
which discharge into the atmosphere, it is necessary to avoid the formation
of ice and condensate in the valve plug, due to air humidity. For this
which it is specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.
purpose, the safety valve shall be installed leaving the last part of the inlet
line without insulation. In this case, the non-insulated part will be long
enough to prevent dew point being reached in the valve; otherwise the
safety valve must be heated (using steam or other proper means).
- When a valve discharge into the atmosphere the outlet shall be directed
upwards for gas discharges, and downwards for liquid discharges.
- For dangerous fluids, if a safe discharge location is expressly required on
the P&ID, the outlet pipe will be raised 3 m. above any walkway situated
within 15 m.
- For those fluids for which a safe discharge location is not required, the
outlet pipe will be oriented towards an area where persons do not pass.
- Outlet pipes of safety valves discharging into the atmosphere will have a 10
mm diameter hole in the bottom to drain any condensate or rainwater. In
case of dangerous fluids, the said hole will be connected by piping to a
safe area or to the sewer.
Safety valves discharging into a closed system shall be installed at a higher level
than the flare header, so that the safety valve outlet line always slopes towards
the header; the intake will be on the top header, oriented at 45° in the flow
direction. Horizontal intakes will be allowed when the safety valve discharge pipe
diameter is at least one diameter smaller than that of the header.
- If the safety valve has to be installed lower than header, a 3/4" valved drain
line could be provided, at the minimum distance from safety valve outlet
flange, discharging, previous check of process, into a recovery pot where
liquid after vaporization shall be connected to blow down header.
- For the assembly of block valves on safety valve outlet lines, the same
rules will be observed as for the assembly of inlet line valves.
- Special care will be taken in the safety valve outlet line arrangement, in
order to minimize changes of direction.
- Supports for the above line will be designed in order to minimize stress on
the valve, taking into account that the line will have to maintain its position
when the safety valve is disassembled.
