Break-out-Flanges or Break Flanges
(OP)
1) Break-out-Flanges or Break Flanges: I am required to check if design considers "Break-out-Flanges or Break Flanges" for hydrotest. Appreciate information on Break-out-Flanges or Break Flanges.

2) Spec break : In your opinion the location of spec break be advised in P&ID?

RE: Break-out-Flanges or Break Flanges
Spec breaks be it between piping specifications, insulated and non-insulated systems, heat tracing and non-heat traced systems and perhaps things like stress relieving or PWHT should be shown on the P&ID as the process engineer has to make those decisions when the P&ID are initially created. Without those specification breaks, piping can not start detailed design (those are not decisions IMO piping should be making). PWHT can be handled by spec breaks (SR/non-SR) or by pipe spec breaks where one pipe spec is stress relieved while another pipe spec which is identical to the first except for not being stress relieved. I've seen both done.
