Pipe Line Isometric Drawings and P & ID Drawings

 Pipe Isometrics : Are drawings which shows details of Process pipe lines in a single line presentation , with details of pipes, pipe connections ( valves, flanges, nipples, reducers, end cap, elbow, etc), along with the dimensions and direction of  pipe line.



Example of a Pipe Line Isometric Drawings is given below in figure-A

Figure A: Example of Pipe Isometric Drawing

P & ID : is called as Piping and Instrumentation Drawing, is a pictorial representation of  Pipeline in a single line diagram along with processing Equipments/ Instruments and storage tanks .

Example of a P & ID is given below in figure-B

This Blog gives a detail study of P&ID and Pipe Isometrics, with details of

  • What is P&ID Drawing
  • What is an isometric drawing
  • Symbols of Pipe Line Isometric Drawings
  • What is pipe rolling / off-set

We shall learn from the basics,

Directions:

Direction symbol is given on top of Pipe Line Isometric drawing to determine the directions of pipelines

Directions

Line Number :

Line number is given to each individual pipe line and the number is applicable for its whole length, until it joints to another pipeline or a equipment.

Spool Number :

Spool number are sub divisions of Line number given during fabrication to facilitate transportation of pipelines, the spools are connected on-site to complete the line.

Rolling / Offset  :

Rolling or otherwise called as offset gives us the exact detail of change in direction of pipeline,

There are three types of rolling, the hatch lines in the right angled triangle nearby denotes the type of rolling :

  • Vertical rolling (with vertical hatch lines )
  • Horizontal rolling (with horizontal hatch lines )
  • Vertical & horizontal rolling (with both vertical and horizontal hatch lines- 2 triangles )

Discontinuities in Ultrasonic Testing in NDT

Image
 This blog will discuss types of discontinuities that can be evaluated with the ultrasonic testing in NDT method. Discontinuities can be divided into three general categories inherent, processing and service Inherent discontinuities are usually formed when the metal is molten. Inherent wrought discontinuities relate to the melting and solidification of the original ingot before it is formed into slabs, blooms and billets. Inherent cast discontinuities relates to the melting, casting and solidification of a cast article. Usually caused by inherent variables such as inadequate feeding, gating, excessive pouring temperature or entrapped gases. Processing discontinuities are usually related to the various manufacturing process such as machining, forming, extruding, rolling, welding, heat treating and plating. Service discontinuities are related to the various service conditions such as stress, corrosion, fatigue and erosion. During the manufacturing process, many d...

NDT on Shafts

Image
  Non Destructive Testing,NDT on Shafts is considered essential , because the shafts are mostly made as load bearing structures, any defects such as cracks will propagate more during acting of load and eventually will cause failure. The most possible defects in shafts are Cracks and Pipes , which is shown below The Non Destructive methods preferred for defect detection on raw material shafts are Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Particle testing / Eddy Current Testing / Magnetic Flux Leakage method. We have not discussed about other NDT methods such as Liquid Penetrant testing & Radiographic testing because for raw material inspection. These methods will be cost effective for raw material testing  ( i.e. most costly and labor intensive, also there is possibility of missing out the cracks in radiography testing due to orientation of crack ) The Defect wise identification method is given as below  , Internal Defect ( Piping ) – Ultrasonic Testing Surface Defects  (C rac...

Standards for Welding Positions

Image
  Standards for Welding Positions : It is very important for the Weld Inspector  to know the position , or location of a joint relative to the horizon, because it may determine what welding process, methods, and techniques can be used. Welding is usually easiest when the welder can work on a joint located on a flat, horizontal surface, such as on a table or bench. However, joints in the field may be located in a variety of positions relative to the welder and to the horizon, as shown below.  1)  Welding positions – AWS D1.1, European Welding Standard EN 287 – 1, ASME IX: 2) Welding Positions – Butt, Fillet and Piping Welds: Flat Butt Weld Position – 1G In this position, the axis line of the weld must  not incline more than 15°  from the horizon and the face of the weld must be on top. Welders often refer to the flat-position welding by the nonstandard term  downhand welding. Horizontal Butt Weld Position – 2G In this position, both plates are perpendic...
