Piping Review
Thought some of you folks might get some humor out of this. The format is not correct cause it was a WORD document and i had to cut and paste to get it on here.
PIPING REVIEW GUIDELINES
1. ALL PIPE IS TO BE MADE OF A LONG HOLE, SURRONDED BY METAL
CENTERED AROUND THIS HOLE.
2. ALL PIPE IS TO BE HOLLOW THROUGHOUT ITS ENTIRE LENGTH.
3. ALL PIPE IS TO BE OF VERY BEST QUALITY, PERFECTLY TUBULAR
OR PIPULAR.
4. O.D. OF ALL PIPE MUST EXCEED THE I.D., OTHERWISE THE HOLE
WILL BE ON THE OUTSIDE.
5. ALL PIPE IS TO BE SUPPLIED WITH NOTHING IN THE HOLE SO THAT
WATER, GAS, OR OTHER MATERIAL CAN BE PUT INSIDE AT A LATER
DATE.
6. ALL PIPE IS TO BE SUPPLIED WITHOUT RUST, AS THIS CAN BE MORE READILY PUT ON AT THE JOBSITE.
7. ALL PIPE IS TO BE CLEANED FREE OF ANY COVERING SUCH AS MUD,
TAR, BARNACLES, OR OTHER FOREIGN MATTER BEFORE PUTTING UP,
OTHERWISE, IT WILL MAKE LUMPS UNDER THE PAINT.
8. ALL PIPE OVER 500 FEET LONG MUST HAVE THE WORDS "LONG PIPE"
CLEARLY PAINTED ON EACH END SO THAT THE FITTER WILL KNOW THAT
IT IS LONG PIPE. PIPE OVER TWO MILES LONG MUST ALSO HAVE
THESE WORDS PAINTED IN THE MIDDLE SO THAT THE FITTER WILL NOT
HAVE TO WALK THE FULL LENGTH OF PIPE TO DETERMINE IF IT IS
LONG PIPE OR NOT.
9. ALL PIPE OVER SIX INCHES IN DIAMETER IS TO HAVE THE WORDS
"LARGE PIPE" PAINTED ON IT, SO THAT THE FITTER WILL NOT USE
IT FOR SMALL PIPE.
10. ALL PIPE CLOSERS ARE TO BE OPEN ON ONE END.
11. FLANGES MUST HAVE HOLES FOR BOLTS QUITE SEPARATE FROM THE BIG
HOLE IN THE MIDDLE.
12. IF FLANGES ARE TO BE BLANK OR BLIND, THE BIG HOLE IN THE
MIDDLE MUST BE FILLED WITH METAL.
13. GASKETS ARE TO BE MADE OF METAL, RUBBER, PLASTIC, PAPER, OR
SOME KIND OF GOOP - DO NOT USE COW OR SHEEP MANURE AS IT
CRACKS WHEN IT GETS DRY.
14. ALL VALVES MUST HAVE AN OPENING ON EACH END WITH A FLAPPER IN
THE MIDDLE THAT GOES UP OR DOWN OR SIDEWAYS WHEN YOU TURN THE
WHEEL OR CRANK, OTHERWISE THE STUFF WILL RUN OUT OF THE ENDS.
15. ALL COMPLETED PIPING MUST GO SOMEWHERE AND CONNECT TO
SOMETHING. THE FITTER IS REQUIRED TO VERIFY THIS BEFORE
PROJECT COMPLETION.
