Can the pipe diameter of the process package be changed?

During the process package stage, what is primarily provided is the Process Flow Diagram (PFD), with an emphasis on the process parameters of various material streams (material properties, flow rate, pressure, temperature, etc.). During the basic design phase, the pipe diameters on the equipment drawings can be determined by calculating based on the parameters mentioned above. However, for process pipelines with special requirements, or those for which the pipe diameter cannot be determined using conventional calculation methods, this can be explained or specified in the process description. But this situation is not common. Furthermore, although the basic design for the equipment diagrams is largely completed at the initial design stage, adjustments are still made during the detailed design phase based on actual conditions, sometimes including the pipe diameters as well.

As long as it can be done after calculation and it does not affect the process, the diameter can be changed! Because all considerations in the design include a certain margin of safety! ! !

It can be changed, but this needs to be discussed and confirmed with the process package provider.

It can be changed, but generally it requires confirmation from the provider of the process package. The pipe diameter is also a technical aspect; if there are differing opinions, they can certainly be discussed to reach a decision.
