RE: Piping spool number and isometric break

When I was working in a production environment if I released an iso that did not have a "field weld" symbol on a weld it was a shop weld, whether the line had 2 sheets or not. Most software platforms for piping design allow the option to place a weld as field or shop in the model that will be extracted onto an iso. We has a spool dept. that would weld up each sheet individually, then in the final production assembly, before it left our shop, the weld to connect the two spools would be welded.

Dear member,

Have you ever experienced such probelem like: Isometric has to be broken up (It's a common problem now because Cad software been used widely, how much informaion can be put into one iso is pretty much out of control of human being.) but the inter-iso weld does not need to be a field weld (Shop weld saves some bucks).

And the most Spool ID naming system (sometime called Mark peice No.) consist isometric mumber (i.e 52P122-SHT1-01, 02...), So under all these circumstances I get 2 Spool IDs even though I want the inter- iso weld to be done in shop.

Is this a probelem at all? I mean maybe the shop people wounld be confused and they will fab these two spool and weld then together then ship it to site with 2 SPOOL TAG No. with it?

Or the shop people do get confused?

What's your onpin on this?

Cheers

Robert Liu
