Special care will be taken in order to avoid a reduction of all thickness in the part having the lowest yield strength.

Prior to pipe alignment, each pipe or fitting will be inspected to ensure that the outside and/or inside surfaces and bevels are free from foreign materials.

Piping connecting to the nozzles of the equipment such as pumps, vessels will be aligned so that no stress is induced on the equipment.

Qualified fitters have to take care for proper alignment of flanges to pipes and connecting equipments including connection to relief and control valves is of great importance to keep equipments stress free for trouble free operation of the system.
