HOW TO START THE PIPING GA?
•Obtain the drawings numbers and fill in the title block, with the
drawing number and title at the bottom right hand corner of the
sheet.
•Place the north arrow at the top left/right hand corner of the
sheet to indicate plant north.
•Do not plan drawing in the area above the title block of
drawing, as this is allotted for general notes, number and title of
reference drawings, brief description of changes during revision
and the bill of materials wherever applicable.
•Process equipment and piping have priority on the Piping GA.
•The piping drawings are started after fixing positions of the
equipments.
•Equipment layout is reproduced on the Piping GA to its scale
and drawn on the reverse side in case of manual drafting.
•
•In case of CAD separate layer is used. The major primary
beams and secondary beams are also shown if area covered is
indoor.
•Pertinent background details which govern piping routing,
such as floor drains, HVAC ducting, electrical and instrument
cable trays, etc. are also drawn in faint on the reverse.
•Utility stations are also established so that most convenient
utility header routing can be carried out.
Order of importance/preference of pipe lines in a piping
GA
and double lines for sizes 200NB and above. This is to save
the time of drafting and to avoid confusion.
• In single line representation only the center line of the
pipeline is drawn using solid line and in double line
representation the actual size to scale is drawn with center
• Line numbers are shown against each line exactly in the
same way as represented in the P&I diagrams.
• The change in specification should be shown in line with
P&I diagram. This change is usually indicated
immediately to the downstream of the valve, flange or
equipment.
• Valves should be drawn to scale with identification
number from the P&ID marked thereon.
• Draw valve hand wheels to scale with stem fully
extended.
If it is lever operated, then the movement of handle
position should be marked.
• If a valve is chain operated, note the distance of the chain
from the operating floor.
• Show location of each instrument connection with
encircled instrument number taken from P&ID.
• Similar arrangement shall be shown as typical detail or
covered in a separate company standard as Instrument
Hook-up drawings.
• Draw plan view of each floor of the plant and these views
should indicate how the layout will look like between
floors as seen from top.
• Each line should be identified by line number and should
also show the insulation, tracing requirements, etc.
• Lines, if required, shall be broken to show the required
details of hidden lines without drawing other views.
• Do not draw details that can be covered by a note.
• Draw plan to a larger scale for any part needing more
details and identify it as “Detail ‘A’”, etc.
• Draw part isometrics sketches or part elevations to clarify
complex piping or piping hidden in the plan view.
•Full sections through the plant may be avoided if
isometric drawings are drawn for the lines. Part sections
where required shall be shown to clear the hidden details in
plan.
• Sections in the plan views are identified by numbers say
1-1, 2-2, etc. and details by alphabets, e.g. “Detail ‘A’”.

• Plant North - The direction should be so selected as to
facilitate easy checking of GA with Iso
up.
• For field run piping, give only those dimensions which are
necessary to route piping clear of equipments and other
obstructions. Locate only those items which are important
to
the process.
• Underline out of scale dimensions or mark as NTS.
• Do not terminate dimensions at screwed or welded joints.
