Pipes and fittings. Valves
Thread Content
In actual factory operations, as for pipes, pipe fittings, and valves, who is responsible for them – the process supervisor or the equipment supervisor – and how are the responsibilities divided?
Dude, I think it’s the craftsmanship that’s responsible. Why let the machines do our work? Let them be a little jealous, haha
In our company, it is usually the process supervisor who is responsible for counting the quantities and reporting them to the equipment supervisor, who then prints out the plan forms for approval at each level
The process supervisor will do. . . It’s not that complicated. I’m hungry. . . . Generally, the process supervisors in the technical management departments of various units select the valve type, material, pressure rating, etc. based on the process conditions: lol
Generally, it’s sufficient to follow the piping specifications; of course, sometimes it’s appropriate to listen to the opinions of the process department, but this has nothing to do with the equipment department :)
It is rarely the responsibility of the process supervisor, as these tasks focus on the establishment of specifications and design
It still depends on the type of valve: control valves fall under the instrumentation department, manual valves are generally handled by the equipment department, while safety valves are under the process engineering department. This is the usual arrangement, though the division of responsibilities may vary slightly from factory to factory
Some companies manage valves with a DN500 size or larger as part of their equipment
I suggest that routine maintenance be handled by the process team, while repairs should be carried out by the equipment team
Valves related to our main process are classified under the process piping, while valves for instruments and auxiliary systems are classified under the equipment piping
