OVERVIEW OF PROCESS PLANT PIPING SYSTEM DESIGN

 

Piping System :-
A piping system is a network of pipes, fittings and valves intended to perform a specific job i.e. to carry or transfer fluids from one equipment to another. The plumbing network supplying water at your home is a common example of a piping system. Other more rigorous examples include steam piping in a power plant, milk piping in a dairy, paint piping in a paint manufacturing plant, oil piping in a refinery, so and so forth.

Piping system includes:

• Pipe
• Fittings (e.g. elbows, reducers, branch connections, etc.)
• Flanges, gaskets, bolting
• Valves
• Pipe supports
