Engineering Sub-Fields

Industrial piping engineering has three major sub-fields: piping material, piping design, and stress analysis. Stress analysis involves checking piping systems using pipe stress analysis software to ensure stresses do not exceed allowable limits under various loads as specified by codes. It also requires evaluating piping behavior under regular and occasional loads. Materials used for piping include carbon steel, plastic piping, low temperature carbon steel, stainless steel, and nonferrous and nonmetallic options.

Engineering sub-fields

Generally, industrial piping engineering has three major sub-fields:

 Piping material
 Piping design
 Stress analysis

Stress analysis
Process piping and power piping are typically checked by pipe stress engineers to verify that
the routing, nozzle loads, hangers, and supports are properly placed and selected such that
allowable pipe stress is not exceeded under different loads such as sustained loads, operating
loads, pressure testing loads, etc., as stipulated by the ASME B31, EN 13480, GOST 32388,
RD 10-249 or any other applicable codes and standards. It is necessary to evaluate the
mechanical behavior of the piping under regular loads (internal pressure and thermal stresses)
as well under occasional and intermittent loading cases such as earthquake, high wind or
special vibration, and water hammer.[4][5] This evaluation is usually performed with the
assistance of a specialized (finite element) pipe stress analysis computer programs such as
AutoPIPE,[6] CAEPIPE,[7], CAESAR[8], PASS/START-PROF.[9]

In cryogenic pipe supports, most steel become more brittle as the temperature decreases from
normal operating conditions, so it is necessary to know the temperature distribution for
cryogenic conditions. Steel structures will have areas of high stress that may be caused by
sharp corners in the design, or inclusions in the material.[10]

Materials
The material with which a pipe is manufactured often forms as the basis for choosing any
pipe. Materials that are used for manufacturing pipes include:

 Carbon steel
 ASTM A252 Spec Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 Steel Pile Pipe
 Plastic piping, e.g. HDPE pipe, PP-R pipe or LDPE pipe [11].
 Low temperature service carbon steel
 Stainless steel
 Nonferrous metals, e.g. cupro-nickel, tantalum lined, etc.
 Nonmetallic, e.g. tempered glass, Teflon lined, PVC, etc
