Canonical HVACentric knowledge for industrial questions on this topic.
DIRECT ANSWER
Begin with the fluid, operating and design conditions, hazards, required duty, code boundary, existing system, connection points, and shutdown constraints. A complete scope then addresses materials, corrosion and contamination, hydraulics, flexibility and stress, supports, valves and drains, fabrication quality, examination, pressure or leak testing, cleaning, insulation, controls, tie-ins, commissioning, and record turnover. Have qualified engineering, safety, and code professionals determine the requirements for the actual service before work begins.
