1.4 The KKS power plant classification system

The KKS (Kraftwerk Kennzeichensystem) is a completely generic designation system that identifies every system, component, and location within a plant, using a string of letters and numbers. It is used for power and process plant across many industry sectors. The KKS designations are commonly used on equipment/spares inventories, Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (PIDs), and plant labelling. From the pressure equipment viewpoint, the most important function is that related to process designation. The KKS process classification consists of a maximum of four levels: 0, 1, 2, and 3 (see Fig. 1.1). Level 0 identifies the overall plant and differentiates between units or blocks. Level 1 identifies the plant system, classifying each area with a three-letter code the first letter specifying the function group, and two further letters. Level 2 identifies individual systems and equipment items within the function groups, with level 3 available for further sub-designation. Table 1.1 shows a small sample of the thousands of codes available.
