Is the drawing of the manhole in the front view of the compressed air storage tank incorrect?

Chemical plant equipment diagrams are drawn this way, with the position of the pipe ends indicated in a top view or a diagram showing the positions of those pipe ends.

I’ve heard this expression for the first time; I guess he wants to see the direction in which the manhole opens from the main view, but that can also be seen from the top view
The elevation of the manhole is indicated on the front view, while the orientation is shown in the top view; it’s fine to draw it in the middle as well. Perhaps they think it’s necessary to show the relationship between the views, but I don’t think it’s necessary:lol
They are right; the positions of the manholes on your front view/top view do not correspond.
Drawing methods in the Department of Chemical Engineering and those in the Department of Mechanical Engineering
Regulators are complete laymen; it’s fine to draw it this way
Agree with you: lol. For some equipment that has several or a dozen pipe openings at the same elevation, it is standard practice to draw one diagram of the pipe opening on the side view and list all the pipe opening numbers there. According to the above regulatory requirements, it’s necessary to show everything on the main view – that’s completely absurd, right?:L
