 Introduction

Piping systems are like arteries and veins which carry

The life blood of modern industrial civilization and provide

protection of life and property.

2
 Introduction
Pipe lines play major role in following industrial area

ØPower Plant

ØRefinery industries

ØChemical plants

ØPaper mill

ØFood processing

ØFire protection

 Introduction

Pipe: Pipe can be defined as pressure tight cylinder used to

convey fluids.

Piping: Pipe sections when connected with fitting ,valves

and other mechanical equipment/component and
properly supported by hangers and supports
called piping.

 Piping Arrangements
Purpose: Piping cost form a significant portion of a plant’s total

investments, the constructions , operation and maintenance

provisions that will optimize these cost are an important aspect in

design process.

 Piping Arrangements
General Routing Criteria: There are some criteria that
optimize piping cost and proper functioning of system.

Ø Piping from source to destination should be as short as

possible with minimum change in direction.

Ø Piping should not hinder any normal passage way also should
not encroach any equipment maintenance space.

Not Preferable

Preferable 7
 General Routing Criteria
ØValves ,strainer, instruments on pipe should be easily accessible if
needed provide separate access platform.

ØSpecific requirements of straight length of pipe for some

components to be maintained ,like for flow orifice we need to
provide 15 D straight pipe length at up stream of orifice and 5D
pipe at down steam of orifice.

Example of Straight length requirement for Flow Orifice

8
 General Routing Criteria
Ø For pipe line which shall carry liquid we have to make sure
that all filled air allowed to vent out of the line when line is filled
to achieve this a vent connection is provided on top most point
of pipe line.

Ø Also arrangement is kept in the pipe line so that liquid can be

drain out if required.

9
 General Routing Criteria

Ø Do not provide unnecessary drain and vents

VENT
Not required

 General Routing Criteria
Ø To avoid air pockets in
pump suction line use
top flat eccentric
reducer that will
prevents chances of Top flat eccentric reducer
air pockets formations.

11
 General Routing Criteria
Ø Check feasibility for installation of pipe supports and make full
utilization of existing structural and concrete.

ØPreferably use long radius elbows where elbow are required
