The line begins at nozzle N1 with a flange and elbow welded together, fitting make-up.
Use the procedure that follows to render a piping isometric for line 01-2-C30-10'.Īs shown in Figure 13-11, line 01-2-C30-10' is attached to vessel V-101 at nozzle N1 and nozzle C of vessel E-101. Piping isometrics are generally drawn to represent the configuration up to and including the first fitting in the piperack. However, this does not apply to a pipe in a pipe-rack. Remember, the isometric must provide a detailed description of the pipe's routing from beginning to end. By using this information and the isometric symbols that correspond to the various orthographic drawing symbols the pipe drafter can render an isometric describing the pipe's routing. Drawing symbols, callouts, coordinates, and elevations provide detailed information of the pipe's configuration and routing through the unit.
As an isometric for a particular line is developed, constant reference to the piping arrangement, section, or elevation drawings is essential.
