1. INTRODUCTION
This procedure is to define the numbering and identification of units, areas, equipment
and instruments to be used on the 7000 MTPA Methacrylic Acid Plant . ENGINEERING
Firm
(T-Labs Engineering)‟s may use their own numbering system for internal use but all
documents submitted to QYK must carry the correct QYK Plant Numbers.
It is the intent that adherence to this procedure by Engineering Firm will ensure that no
tag numbers are duplicated between different areas of 7000 MTPA Methacrylic Acid
Plant . CONRACTOR shall bring to the attention of QYK any instances where he
believes this may not be realized.
2. DEFINITIONS
