Dear Experts,

   The question below is asked by one of my friends:

   "We have a situation wherein lines having different dia are assigned same line numbers.

I am informed, here, that its easy for process design & Piping work (initially), but I believe that this makes execution more complicated in terms of :

• Initial estimates, Initial Inch-dia, insulation, tracing quantities etc based on prelim MTO where P&ID is the source.
• Based on line list, its confusing to associate a size for the valves.
• More importantly from a database perspective, it cannot be captured.

My question is " Is it a common practice to have line numbers with different dia or is it non-standard? "

With regards
