Is there a specified minimum distance between intersecting pipes?

Is there a specified distance between intersecting pipes? (A vacuum insulated tube has a thermal insulation layer)
It should be the case that the space between different diameters varies; presumably each design firm has its own regulations, or one can refer to books on common pipeline installation practices. The basic considerations are for requirements such as installation, inspection, and maintenance. For example, it is necessary to take a photo of one of them at the intersection; when installing the insulation layer, this facilitates the workers’ work in applying insulation, including tightening the self-tapping screws. . . It’s inconvenient if there isn’t enough space, right?
Reply to 2# DXJ122: I just want to ask if there are any specific standards that set out the minimum required distance?
I don’t have it on hand. Please talk to the design institute. Since the sizes of pipes commonly used range from DN25 to DN600 or so, it takes a lot of effort to establish \"standards\", and only large enterprises will do this. Also, take a look to see if there are any foreign engineering companies. As I mentioned earlier, the main considerations are for installation, inspection, maintenance, and other such requirements
I mentioned earlier that the main considerations are related to installation, inspection, maintenance, etc. You can use these as a guide to determine the minimum distance or space required; it will be pretty accurate. There’s no need to cite specific sources——the previous text hasn’t been finished yet, so I’ll add it later
DXJ122 is right; the specifications specify the minimum spacing, but considerations for construction and maintenance mean that this spacing can be increased slightly. For example, in the case of pipes with insulation, the spacing from existing pipes can be a bit larger to facilitate construction
