3.2 The PMS shall be strictly adhered to in the design, requisitioning, purchasing, fabrication and
testing of the piping system. However, deviations of material may occur due to design conditions
and/or availability. All substitutions must be duly approved.

3.3 Unless mentioned otherwise, pipe thicknesses in the specs are for above ground piping.

4.0 CLASS DESIGNATION CODE

GENERAL NOTES

INSTRUCTIONS TO PROCESS USER

1. Piping Material Specification (Extracts) are meant only for the Process Engineers. Process
Engineers require some specific standard information of each Piping Class for their use. The
Extract attempts to condense the STD PMS by extracting the relevant portions required by the
Process Engineers. The extent of the relevant extract required has been discussed with Process
and has their concurrence. If the Process Department after a period of use requires any further
data, the same can be added to this extract.

2. For all EIL jobs only the EIL STD PMS shall be used unless otherwise the Process Licensor
imposes his specification.

3. The following method of working is suggested for Process department:

a) Piping department is issuing to Process Dept one legible copy of the standard PMS and its
extracts. It is requested that each Process Engineer may please be provided with a copy of the
extract for their regular use.

b) For every job, the Process Engineer shall use this extract of the PMS, however the full PMS can
be referred to as and when required.

c) During the course of preparation of Process Package, if any new Class (not covered in STD PMS)
is required the Process Engineer shall contact the Lead Piping Engineer. The Lead Piping
Engineer will get the new piping class designation from the Piping Department Standardisation
Cell and convey to Lead Process Engineer.

d) Process Engineer shall ensure the following during Process Package:

i) Correct Piping Class based on the service he selected.

ii) Design pressure / design temperature of various lines are within the range of the selected
Piping Class.

iii) Only the type of valves restricted to size ranges indicated are used.

iv) Special care for using soft seated valves (Ball, Plug & Butterfly) in view of reduced Press
/ Temp capability.

4. At the end of the Process Package the Lead process Engineer is requested to hand over a copy of
the extract to the Lead Piping Engineer clearly marking up the following:

a) List of all Piping Classes used in the Process Package.

b) Any extra sizes of any Piping Classes as required, Any extra type of valve with size range as
required.

c) For the new Piping Classes, details of piping material class, ANSI rating, size range, corrosion
allowance, service, various types of valves with size range and basic pipe material shall be
marked up in the blank Piping Material Class format available with the extracts.

d) Even if there is no change required in the STD PMS, Process should send back one copy of the
Extracts identifying the Classes.

After receiving the marked up extracts, Piping shall make necessary revisions / updations and issue job
PMS.

INSTRUCTIONS TO PIPING ENGINEERS

FOR PREPARATION OF JOB SPECIFICATIONS

1. The process department is provided with STD PMS along with its extracts. The extracts include
instructions to process users and outlines the procedure to be followed by process engineers while
using STD PMS for various jobs. Piping engineers are also requested to follow the procedure
outlined in the instructions to process department.

2. After getting the marked up copies of extracts of STD PMS for the job from Lead Process
Engineer the Lead Piping Engineer shall issue JOB PMS as per Procedure for Preparation of Job
Piping Material Specification (Doc. No. 5-1643-2001)

3. Revisions in the STD PMS for making the JOB PMS to be carried by Piping Department is
strictly restricted to the following:

a) Additions / changes desired by Licensor / Process Lead Engineer.

b) Changes desired by the Client.

Attempts should be made to minimize revisions asked by Client / Licensor. If any such revision
in any piping class becomes unavoidable, the changes are permitted only in respective job
specification but the class designation should not be changed and the changes are to be
considered special for the particular project.

4. The piping lead engineer should thoroughly go through the general notes of std PMS before
making the job specification and in case any new class designation is required to be made the lead
piping engineer should contact piping standardisation group. Development of PMS for new
classes should be done in consultation with Piping Standardisation Group / SMMS.
