DETAIL ENGINEERING AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
7.1
Purpose
The purpose of detail engineering and design is to develop, from the documents prepare all
necessary documents and/or calculations which are required to purchase materials, fabricate, install
and test the Steam tracing network.
7.2
General design
Caution shall be taken that tracer feed lines, tracers and tracer return lines do not interfere with
valves, equipment, instruments, etc. in hindering of access, operation, maintenance and removal.
Each tracer feed line shall have a separate valved connection on the steam distribution
manifold. Each tracer return line shall be provided with its own steam trap.
Steam Supply /Condensate Return M anifolds shall be prefabricated in accordance with
Construction Standards rules.
Installation of manifold is preferred in vertical position rather than horizontal position for
space and size matters.
Vertical and horizontal steam supply manifolds shall have a maximum of 12 tracer
connections, including dedicated connections for instruments and spare.
Vertical and horizontal condensate return manifolds shall have a maximum of 12 tracer
connections, including dedicated connections for instruments and spare.
Tracer isometric drawings shall show the tracer route in dotted line, the tracer feed
sequence number from steam manifold and the tracer return sequence number to
condensate return manifold, as well as tracer feed and tracer return pipe length.
All valves and traps shall be accessible from grade or platform.
Each tracer supply shall be routed, to the object to be traced, as short as possible, in
accordance with Construction Standards. The tracer shall start at the highest point and be
routed downwards to the steam trap at the condensate collector.
Tracer feed and tracer return lines shall be insulated in accordance with the Project
Specification Thermal Insulation - RAPID-FE1-TPX-MEC-DES-0001-9002
If a line needs more than one tracer, a tracer may run back and forward along the line as
long as the maximum length is not exceeded.

Tracing of two different objects with the same tracer is not permitted. Suction and
discharge piping on two or more parallel pumps shall also be treated separately to enable
dismantling at those pumps while others remain in operation.
7.3
Tracers that follow the contour of equipment shall start at the highest point to be traced.
Steam tracer installation
Single tracers shall run along the bottom half of the horizontal pipe line to be traced.
M ultiple tracers shall run at an angle to the vertical axis of the horizontal pipe line and
equally spaced at vertical pipe lines (see PTS.31.38.30.11 sheet 20).
Flange connections shall be used for tracer dismantling but their use shall be limited as
much as possible.
Flange connections shall be installed at pumps, equipment, control valves, relief valves,
special break-out flanges, spectacle blinds and orifice flanges. They shall be installed
outside the insulation to permit dismantling.
Vents, drains, equipment nozzles, chemical cleaning connections and/or steam-out
connections, and all other dead ends at a traced object shall be traced to its extremity or up
to and including its first shut-off valve.
7.4
Thermal expansion
The thermal expansion for tracing will be define by EPCC CONTRACTORS following
tracer material final choice:
Type of steam
Material
Thermal Expansion
LP Steam at 185 C
Stainless steel pipe
To be defined during EPCC
stage
MP Steam at 290 C
Stainless steel pipe
To be defined during EPCC
stage
On long runs, tracers shall be provided with expansion loops. The loops shall be extended
outside the insulation and shall be insulated separately.
7.5
Installing flange connections in loops is not allowed.
Instruments
Tracing of instruments shall be as per the Project Specification - Installation of on-line instruments
- RAPID-FE1-TPX-INC-DES-0001-9018 and as per Instrument Hook-up.
7.6
Supporting
Tracer feed and return lines (lines running from manifold to tracer or from tracer to
manifold) shall be adequately supported with an acceptable method, preferably from, but
not attached to, adjacent structural steel and not from process lines.
The distance between support points shall not exceed 3 m. Supply and return lines, coming
from or going to the same manifold, shall be grouped together as much as possible for
common supports.
Tracer supply and return lines shall not be pocketed except where absolutely necessary for
head room, operation and maintenance.

deformation of tracing, due to bending shall be allowed. In all cases the tracer shall be held
tight to the object to be traced without sags.
