Metric Size A3.

GES A.02 Page 6 of 28 Rev 0 1999

Therefore care must be taken to select suitable font sizes for the original drawing and lines are to be of sufficient density so as to remain clear after copying. 3.3 3.3.1 3.3.2 3.3.3 3.3.4 Revisions Maintain for all revisions a Project Master Copy of the PFD, P&ID and Line List with all the latest information included. This is the Master for all personnel working on the Contract. The original drawings are approved and signed by the Project and Process Engineers and Other Specialist Engineers as appropriate. Revisions to PFD, P&IDs from Rev A onwards shall be shown by encircling the revised portion of the drawing. For definition of issue revision, numerals and letters, refer to Section 4.2. Equipment or data for which information is not available at the time of issue shall be marked clearly with a "hold" designation.

OTHER PIPING AND INSTRUMENT DIAGRAMS Utility Piping & Instrument Diagrams Utility P&IDs and Utility Line Lists are prepared by the responsible Engineer as required by the Project Executive Plan. Provided a process package is available for the Utility systems they shall be worked on in parallel with the process package. Issue times for Utility P&IDs should be broadly similar to those for Process Unit P&IDs. Auxiliary P&IDs These P&IDs are prepared to show auxiliary equipment associated with major items of rotating equipment. The Mechanical Equipment Engineer carries most of the responsibility for the content of this type of P&ID, since it covers equipment requisitioned by the Mechanical Group. Because the details of equipment auxiliaries differ depending on the Vendor/Contractor selected, this type of drawing is prepared when the Vendor's/Contractor's drawings for the equipment are available. Distribution Header Diagrams Distribution Header Diagrams show the plant piping header systems, and are prepared once the requirements have been shown on the P&IDs, and plot plans have been established.

These are usually lines which will be on interconnecting racks or sleepers. These lines are shown geographically. They shall show the same information as required for the P&IDs. Existing lines into which these lines are tied are shown in dotted form. These drawings are particularly important for the definition of tie-in points to existing lines on the site.
