construction used in the design and fabrication of process and utility piping systems,
including manual valves, pipe and fittings, and miscellaneous related to piping to be used for
Yanacocha Project in Perú. Instruments, orifice plates, and control valves are excluded.

2. Wherever a difference exists between this specification and the drawings, the drawings shall
govern. The Contractor shall inform Fluor of any differences. No deviation shall be made
from this specification without written authorization from Fluor Engineering.

3. Where a conflict arises between the requirements of this specification and the project
drawings, as listed in the Purchase Order, or the codes and standards specified herein, this
specification shall take precedence.

Unless otherwise specified, pressures and temperatures refer to design conditions.

3.0 Pressure-Temperature Ratings

Pressure-temperature ratings for 24 inches and smaller carbon steel, ferric alloy steel, and
austenitic stainless steel piping, flanges, and valves are based on the latest edition of
ASME/ANSI B16.5 (American Society of Mechanical Engineers/American National

PIPING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION

5.0 Corrosion Charts

The Sulfuric Acid Chart and the Caustic Soda Service Chart are defined as the charts shown
in the Corrosion Data Survey, published by NACE (National Association of Corrosion
Engineers).

6.0 Pipe Wall Thickness

Unless otherwise specified, piping component wall thickness, specified in the individual line
classes or indicated on flow diagrams or drawings, are based only on design considerations of
pressure, temperature, and allowances for corrosion, erosion, manufacturer's minus tolerance
and any allowance for the depth of threads or grooves. Piping component wall thickness do
not include additional thickness that may be required to compensate for design considerations
such as thermal loads due to restraints, live loads, hydraulic shock, or loads and sources from
other causes, all of which must be considered in the design of piping systems.

7.0 Vacuum Ratings

Unless otherwise specified, pressures specified in the individual line classes are positive
pressure. Piping subjected to a negative pressure shall be investigated on an individual basis
since the engineering design specified in the applicable line class may, or may not, be
suitable.
