Flour-PIPING DESIGN LAYOUT TRAINING LESSON 7S
Flour-PIPING DESIGN LAYOUT TRAINING LESSON 7S. EQUIPMENT STUDY PROJECT
7.1 PREFACE
This lesson will cover the procedures required for vessel equipment studies, both horizontal and vertical vessels and the piping connected to them. Two things to keep in mind; first, use Fluor standards as a guide, and second, the guidelines mentioned in this lesson may be different than jobs you may have worked on in the past. Some clients have their own engineering standards.
7.1.1 Lesson Objectives
Lessons provide self-directed piping layout training to designers who have basic piping design skills. Training material can be applied to manual or electronic applications. Lesson objectives are:
• To familiarize you with the more commonly used vessels, how they operate and some of their uses.
• To know the vessel types.
• To assimilate the information and the miscellaneous components to determine a vessel orientation study.
• To make both vertical and horizontal vessel studies avoiding major mistakes and costly changes.
• To familiarize your with Fluor standards on vessels and their components. (Fluor standards are a guide; the standards used on your contract may differ).
7.1.2 Lesson Study Plan
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the lesson sections. Part of your training will be to complete the study exercise in the back of the lesson plan. The exercise may be done manually or electronically.
• The following information will be required to support your self study
• Previous lesson plans; e.g. Pipe Stress Lesson #1
• Your copy of the Reference Data Book (R.D.B.)
• Fluor Technical Practices. The following Fluor Technical Practices are included in this lesson guide:
