All reference drawings (P&ID / MDS / Level Sketches / Vendor GA) including revision number are
listed in reference drawing section .

11

Nozzles projected above platforms have minimum clearance of 150 mm between bottom of
flange and top of grating.

12

Inlet and outlet nozzles shall be located sufficiently away to avoid vortex flow.

13

All nozzle projections are shown with respect to TAN line for all dish end nozzles.

ChecklistforNozzleOrientation
All nozzle projections (exclusive of dish end nozzles) are shown with respect to vessel centre line
for all shell nozzles.

15

Insulation thickness of vessel is considered in determining the nozzle projection.

16

Insulation thickness shall be shown dotted in drawing.

17

Proper access and approach ladder is provided for all Nozzles/ Instruments as per project
specification and all Platform dimensions, location & ladder location are shown.

18

Side entry from ladder has been provided to the top and intermediate platforms.

19

All valves are accessible from ladder for size less than or equal to 3 and from platform for sizes
greater than 3 unless otherwise specified in relevant project specifications/ client operation and
maintenance requirements.

20

Maximum height of ladder, without mid landing is checked with respect to project specifications.

21

Location and orientation of pipe support cleats are clearly shown.

22

For Instrument nozzles that require access, check the possibility of combining the nozzles for
common access and also check for any obstruction in the surrounding.

23

Hand hole location/orientation shall be shown.

24

Nozzle schedule table (showing sl.no, nozzle name, rating, size, nozzle function, nozzle projection
from vessel center line etc.) shall be shown.

25

Manhole location shall be shown. Manhole cover can be opened without any hindrance. Manhole
davit orientation is marked and manhole envelope angle are shown. Sideways location is
preferred manhole location.

26

Manhole height from platform shall be as per project specifications/ client requirements.

27

Orientation of skirt openings are shown

28

Minimum 750 mm clear space is available on all vessel Platforms for ease of access even after
installing all Stand pipe, valves, Instruments.

One plan view with minimum two elevation views (front view & side view) are shown, if nozzles
are on both Dish end, Both views are required, The views are clearly marked with A-A, B-B etc.

Vessel Bottom elevation is as per P&ID(If specified in P&ID)

Height of centre line of equipment with respect to bottom of saddle is shown.

Proper access, clearances are provided for bottom nozzles, boot mounted nozzles and nozzles are
clash free with equipment support.

Slope in Sloped vessels is shown appropriately as per P&ID requirement.

Slope in Sloped vessels is shown appropriately as per Mechanical Data Sheet(MDS) requirement.

Vertical Vessel

One elevation view and multiple plan views at every platform elevation are shown.

Vessel Bottom Line elevation is as per P&ID(If specified in P&ID).

Based on Drop zone area, Pipe davit radius is marked. Pipe davit orientation is shown in the plan
view of the top platform. Drop zone area to be accessible from common access.

Platform width, start angle and end angle are shown clearly.

Orientation of pipe supporting cleat of vessel is shown.

When there are two platforms one above the other(typically in columns etc.), ensure adequate
headroom is available and space is not obstructed due to structural bracings.

Hi Shamsher,
Which type of equipment are you referring for nozzle orientation, for
example vertical vessels, horizontal vessels of rectangular tanks?
There are different ways to orient the nozzle based on type of the
equipment.
