Structures Platform

The document is a piping guide detailing various platform types including grating, deck plate, and concrete platforms, along with their specifications and requirements. It also discusses fireproofing thickness for structures and the use of bracing in piping design. Additionally, it addresses considerations for concrete platforms used in acid service, including curbed areas and acid-resistant materials.

JITENDRA SURVE PIPING GUIDE 03/04/03

PLATFORMS
GRATING PLATFORM

• When this type of platform is used, the platform top-of-steel elevation


does not include thickness of the grating.
• Moderate pipe support loads can be imposed on this design;
• Holes for piping should be banded for reinforcement.

DECK PLATE PLATFORM

• This commonly used form of decking is ¼ “ (10mm) thick.

FIREPROOFED STEEL

-1-
JITENDRA SURVE PIPING GUIDE 03/04/03

• The plant layout designer obtains the required fireproofing thickness


for a particular structure at the outset of the design.
• Fireproofing thickness usually varies from 2” (50mm) to 4” (100mm).

Bracing
• Bracing is fabricated from a variety of structural shapes or piping.
• Because the size of the gusset plates vary widely, final dimensional
data must be obtained to check for possible interference between
piping and steel gussets.

CONCRETE PLATFORM

• Like steel platform, concrete platform has a 4 in (100mm) toe plate


installed around its edge.

CONCRETE PLATFORM FOR ACID SERVICE

-2-
JITENDRA SURVE PIPING GUIDE 03/04/03

• A curbed area is provided around the equipment most likely to leak


during operation and maintenance.
• Shields are provided for flanges in acid service outside the curbed
areas.

• Acid resistant break is used when specifically required.
