Pipe Ends and Connections

Pipe ends will normally have specific text messages plotted next to them under the following circumstances:

• At the start of a Pipe;

• At the end of any type of off-line Branch;

• At the end of a Pipe.

These messages show how the Pipe is continued from that point onwards, or any special Pipe end condition that may be required, as shown in the following examples.

Full E-W, N-S and elevation (EL) coordinates will be listed for the start and finish of each Pipe. They will also be listed at the end of every Tee off-line branch; in other words, at all connection points.

Where a Pipe is connected to another Pipe or plant equipment, the coordinates will be preceded by a CONT. ON message. In the Information at an end of a pipe connected to another pipe image, a Branch of PIPE-36A is the HREF or TREF of the Pipe shown.

All changes in elevation will be marked at the first intersection point after the new elevation occurs.
