SCOPE
(1)

This standard practice covers the preparation of piping drawing in

"Plan and Detailed Drafting Method".
(2)
with

This standard practice shall be applied in conjunction

PI-DM-001

"Drafting

Practice

of

Piping

Drawing

(General)".Where there is any discrepancy between this practice

and the spec above, this practice shall govern.

2.

DEFINITIONS

2.1

Plan Drawing
"Plan Drawing" used in this practice refers to a plan drawn of an area
defined and enclosed by the match lines corresponding to those indicated
on the "Key Plan Drawing". The Piping plan drawings of this type are called
"Coordinate Type Drawings".

2.2

Detail Drawing
(1)

"Detail Drawing" refers to a partially detailed drawing used for

indicating in a readily understandable manner details of a complex
piping configuration that cannot be expressed clearly on a "Plan
Drawing".

(2)

Generally, "Detail Drawing" utilizes the isometric drafting method.

However, in the case where a sectional or a side view drawing or
scaled-up plan drawing is more effective any one of those may be
utilized.

(3)

Method of isometric drafting shall principally be as

shown in fig. 2. However, where there is a great possibility that such

indication would cause more confusion by overlapping of piping,

etc., the drawing may be indicated as shown in fig. 3 which is
symmetrical to fig. 2.

3.

FORMAT AND SCALE

(1)

Format for a plan and detail drawing shall be Job standard form
(ISO Size A - 0)

(2)

The scale for drafting of piping plan drawings shall be as follows :

Process Unit :
Offsite and utility Unit :

1/60, 1/30, 1/25 or 1:33-1/3

1/30, 1/50, 1/60, 1/100, 1/200, 1/25 or
1:33-1/3

4.

DRAWING LAYOUT

(1)

A plan and detail drawing shall be indicated on one sheet as shown

below. However if this would result in over one sheet, an additional
sheet may be used for detail drawings.

(2)

Plan and detail drawing may have "Key Plan" indicated at the upper
right corner of the drawing sheet.
