In this article we would like to talk about piping system installation service.
Piping System
A pipe can be a tube made of metal, plastic, wood, concrete or fiberglass which is used to drain liquids, gases, or fine particles. Piping systems generally include interconnection between pipes, including in-line components such as fittings and pipe connections (flanges). Pumps, valves and tanks are also part of the piping system.
Therefore the piping system is an artery of an industrial process and the contribution of the piping system is very important in the industry.
Piping System Design
Functional requirements of to the piping to flow fluid from one point to another determine the initial design of piping system. Whereas below criterias such as :
- Type of fluid;
- Permissible pressure drop or energy loss;
- Fluid speed;
- Space restrictions;
- Process requirements such as drainage or straight line requirements, stress analysis, fluid temperature, etc.
determine the detail design of piping system.
Therefore, piping systems require significant engineering, design, fabrication and erection efforts.
And for some cases, to support the piping system, manufacturer make special structures such as inverted T or L structures, cantilevered, U portals and supports.
Piping Material
The material for pipe manufacturing must be selected to suit the operating conditions of the piping system. Standard piping codes is the guidance for correct material selection. The aim is to ensure that the materials used are completely safe under operating conditions such as the pressure, temperature, corrosion and erosion.
- Steel
Commonly piping use steel materials. Fittings widely use forged steel materials, whereas for special application mainly use cast steel materials. Seamless and welded are two main categories in steel pipes production.
- Cast iron
This material has a high resistance to corrosion and abrasion. Therefore, ash handling systems, sewage drains and underground drains use cast iron materials. However, cast iron is extremely brittle and unsuitable for most power generation services. Cast iron is made in various grades such as gray cast iron, malleable cast iron and ductile cast iron.
- Brass and Copper
Power generation such as instrumentation where temperature is not a major factor use non-ferrous materials such as copper and copper alloys.
