VESSEL ORIENTATION
4.1 PREFACE
This lesson will cover the procedures required for vessel equipment studies, both horizontal and vertical vessels and the piping connected to them. Two things to keep in mind; first, use Fluor's standards as a guide, and second, the guidelines mentioned in this lesson may be different than jobs you may have worked on in the past. Some clients have their own engineering standards.
4.1.1 Lesson Objectives
Lessons provide self-directed piping layout training to designers who have basic piping design skills. Training material can be applied to manual or electronic applications. Lesson objectives are:
• To familiarize yourself with the more commonly used vessels, how they operate and some of their uses.
• To know the vessel types.
• To know how to assimilate the information and the miscellaneous components to determine a vessel orientation study.
• To make both vertical and horizontal vessel studies avoiding major mistakes and costly changes.
• To familiarize yourself with Fluor's standards on vessels and their components. (Fluor's standards are a guide; the standards used on your contract may differ)
