Labeling of vent pipes
Thread Content
In the equipment and material list of the construction drawings, apart from the size and height of the vent pipe, what other information should be indicated for it? :handshake
:Lol, since it’s a list of equipment and materials, it should definitely include details such as the name of the equipment, its identification number, the main materials used, and its weight.
The equipment and material list in the construction drawings does not specify the height of the vent pipe standardly; typically, the material list only provides information such as the starting and ending points of the pipeline, design temperature, design pressure, pipeline grade, specifications for the pipeline and its components, quantities, standards, requirements regarding construction, corrosion protection, inspection, pressure testing, and purging. I’m not sure what you want to ask; it’s not clear.
According to current standard practices, vent pipes should be assigned pipe numbers, and they are counted in the material list in the same way as other pipelines. I believe the list of equipment materials you are referring to is one that includes those materials directly connected to the equipment and that are not part of the numbered pipelines, such as the materials for the instrument interfaces on the equipment; the designation of these materials should also be the same as that used for other pipelines. If you are referring to it being indicated in the equipment drawings specific to the equipment field, it should be the same as that in the process piping diagrams; however, it seems inappropriate to use the equipment itself for vent pipes. The height and diameter of the vents should be determined by the process and piping engineering teams.
:D is something I didn’t express clearly. By the list of equipment and materials, I mean that which is included in the installation drawings. Since the flare system is mentioned there along with the vent volume, I was wondering whether the vent pipe also needs to have its vent volume specified
No, ordinary vent pipes do not require indication of the vent volume
