Pipe specifications
Hi guys, I'm new here but from browsing previous posts I thought some of you guys might get a kick out of these.....
These are some of the pipe specs that I have come across in the past at a job site( just kidding)
PIPING REVIEW GUIDELINES
1. ALL PIPE IS TO BE MADE OF A LONG HOLE, SURROUNDED 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.
