Nozzle Orientation.
Nozzle Orientation.
(OP)
Folks,
I am under impression that Piping Design & Layout is resposible to determine it and Mechanical guys are implementing their positions inside the Mechanical drawing.
Is there any comment on this?
Kind Regards,

RE: Nozzle Orientation.
At Fluor, piping did all VOs because they have the broader view of the plant layout and the synergy of the process, the routing of the connected piping, operations, safety, construction/piping installation, etc.
However, it remains that some other company could have a different approach.
Don't buck the tide and don't offend the host.

I am pretty sure a big company like WorleyParson (which also acquired Colt and Macdonald Engg in Canada) have work/project procedures, practices, and guidelines. I used to work with Parsons in the early 90's and they had some pretty good procedures and guidelines on vessel nozzle orientations.
RE: Nozzle Orientation.
Some orientations are set by process requirements - should be on the equipment datasheet or P&ID - piping should be awre of this.
Some orientations are fixed due to "specialist equipment" as advised in the post above.
Piping advise all other orientations.
Vessels group check required orientations for code and project spec compliance.
If not acceptable piping need to re-arrange.
I find this a very strange question given the size of WorleyParsons now - I wonder what your clients would think of this question?

Thanks folks for the feedbacks.
