Detailed Machine Specification

This chapter describes the procedure for the technical specification of a machine train or a machine unit. The development of the technical specification usually takes place during the Basic Engineering phase of the plant construction project. Detailed attention is given to the use of technical regulations and standards. The necessary elements of the technical specification for all components within a machine unit are presented. In addition, the reader is provided with information about technical details that need to be clarified across various disciplines, from construction technology to process control technology to technical purchasing. A special section is dedicated to quality assurance and quality monitoring. Clarifications are required at this stage due to their impact on schedule and cost.
