4　Regulating oil pipes shall be free of blind section or humping section in the middle.

5　Expansion spacing shall be provided for oil pipes from foundation，equipment，piping or other facilities，to ensure that thermal expansion of turbine and oil pipes themselves will not be affected in operation；small oil pipes connected with equipment parts and pipes with expansion displacement shall comply with provisions for expansion compensation.

6　Outer wall of oil pipes shall have a net spacing no less than 150mm from the steam pipes insulation layer outer surface，and thermal insulation plate shall be added if this spacing cannot be satisfied.Oil pipes with static oil during operation shall have a net spacing no less than 200mm，and flanges and flexible connectors should not be provided for oil pipes close to main steam pipes and valves.

7　Oil pipe connectors must not carry the loads of pipes and valves.

8　Male and female face flanges shall be used for oil pipes，dense packing materials resisting to oil and heat shall be used at joint surfaces，refer to Appendix C.Gaskets shall be clean and flat，free of fold trace，with inner diameter 2mm-3mm larger than the flange inner diameter，and the outer diameter shall be close to the dimensions of flange joint surfaces outer edge.

9　Oil flange connections must not be aligned with force，and the flange bolts shall be tightened symmetrically and homogeneously.

10　In installing pipes for oil system，enclosing provision shall be made for oil pipe openings.

11　For oil casing pipes pre-fabricated and assembled in factory，the cleanness of inside of parts shall be checked before installation，to ensure the inside is clean and free of sundries，and the supports and clamps inside the sleeve shall be checked for firm fixing.

12　Insulation shall be provided for turbo-generator parts requiring isolation from shaft current when they are connected with oil pipe，and before assembling，the insulation shall be checked for freedom of damage and correct installation.To facilitate insulation measurement，double insulated flanges can be fitted.

13　For oil pipes in stainless steel，stainless steel shims or non-metal gaskets with chlorine ion content not exceeding 500ppm shall be used as isolation where the pipe wall is in contact with ferrite supports and hangers.

14　Oil pipes connected with unions shall comply with the following provisions:

1）Welded lock nut unions must not be used.

2）Spherical lock nut unions must be subject to coloring inspection and the contact shall be tight.
