Piping
Within industry, piping is a system of pipes used to convey fluids
(liquids and gases) from one location to another. The engineering
discipline of piping design studies the efficient transport of fluid.)
Industrial process piping (and accompanying in-line components) can be
manufactured from wood, fiberglass, glass, steel, aluminum, plastic,
copper, and concrete. The in-line components, known as fittings,!9!
valves, and other devices, typically sense and control the pressure, flow
rate and temperature of the transmitted fluid, and usually are included in
the field of piping design (or piping engineering), though the sensors and
automatic controlling devices may alternatively be treated as part of
instrumentation and control design. Piping systems are documented in
Large-scale piping system
piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). If necessary, pipes ean be pyac mee
cleaned by the tube cleaning process. ‘oom
Piping sometimes refers to piping design, the detailed specification of the
physical piping layout within a process plant or commercial building. In earlier days, this was
sometimes called drafting, technical drawing, engineering drawing, and design, but is today
commonly performed by designers that have learned to use automated computer-aided drawing or
computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Plumbing is a piping system with which most people are familiar, as it constitutes the form of fluid
transportation that is used to provide potable water and fuels to their homes and businesses.
Plumbing pipes also remove waste in the form of sewage, and allow venting of sewage gases to the
outdoors. Fire sprinkler systems also use piping, and may transport nonpotable or potable water, or
other fire-suppression fluids.
Piping also has many other industrial applications, which are crucial for moving raw and semi-
processed fluids for refining into more useful products. Some of the more exotic materials used in
pipe construction are Inconel, titanium, chrome-moly and various other steel alloys.
Engineering sub-fields
Generally, industrial piping engineering has three major sub-fields:
= Piping material
= Piping design
= Stress analysis
Stress analysis
Hitpsen wikipedia orgwikiPiping 8‘2982024, 21:16 Piping - Wikipedia
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 str as well under occasional and intermittent
loading cases such as earthquake, high wind or special vibration, and water hammer.!41[51 This
evaluation is usually performed with the assistance of a specialized (finite element) pipe stress
analysis computer programs such as AutoPIPE,!°] CAEPIPE,|7/ CAESAR, PASS/START-PROF, 2! or
ROHR2,01
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."
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, PE-X pipe, PP-R pipe or LDPE pipe!
= Low temperature service carbon steel
= Stainless stee!
= Nonferrous metals, e.g. cupro-nickel, tantalum lined, etc
= Nonmetallic, e.g. tempered glass, Teflon lined, PVC, etc.

History
Early wooden pipes were constructed out of logs that had a large hole bored lengthwise through the
center.3] Later wooden pipes were constructed with staves and hoops similar to wooden barrel
construction. Stave pipes have the advantage that they are easily transported as a compact pile of
parts on a wagon and then assembled as a hollow structure at the job site. Wooden pipes were
especially popular in mountain regions where transport of heavy iron or concrete pipes would have
been difficult.
Wooden pipes were easier to maintain than metal, because the wood did not expand or contract with
temperature changes as much as metal and so consequently expansion joints and bends were not
required. The thickness of wood afforded some insulating properties to the pipes which helped
prevent freezing as compared to metal pipes. Wood used for water pipes also does not rot very easily.
Electrolysis does not affect wood pipes at all, since wood is a much better electrical insulator.

In the Western United States where redwood was used for pipe
construction, it was found that redwood had "peculiar properties" that
protected it from weathering, acids, insects, and fungus growths.
Redwood pipes stayed smooth and clean indefinitely while iron pipe by
comparison would rapidly begin to scale and corrode and could
eventually plug itself up with the corrosion./"4)
