1.1 Piping
Piping includes pipe, flanges, fittings, bolting, gaskets, valves, and the pressure containing
portions of other piping components.
A. Piping includes:
1. ………………………………
2. ………………………………
3. ………………………………
4. ………………………………
5. ………………………………
It also includes pipe hangers and supports and other items necessary to prevent over
pressurization and overstressing of the pressure-containing components.
B. Piping also includes:
1. ……………………………..
2. ……………………………..
C. Special piping items/components prevent:
1. ……………………………………
2. ……………………………………
Therefore, pipe sections when joined with fittings, valves, and other mechanical equipment and
properly supported by hangers and supports, are called piping.
Piping is defined as pipe sections joined with ………………., ……………...and other
…………. ……………………………and properly ………………….by ……………………and
………………………………
What is a pipe?
It is a …………………with …………………….with ………….and ………………diameter.
Pipes are classified according to the ………………. …………………..rating ……………….
used for classifying …………………………
The pressure-temperature rating of the ………………… pressure containing item in the piping
governs the piping ……………………..
Pipe
Pipe is a tube with round cross section area with inside and outside diameter.
1.2 Piping Classification
It is usual industry practice to classify the pipe in accordance with the pressure temperature
rating system used for classifying flanges. The piping rating must be governed by the pressure-
temperature rating of the weakest pressure containing item in the piping.
1.3 General Definitions
Absolute Viscosity: Absolute viscosity or the coefficient of absolute viscosity is a measure
Absolute viscosity and the ………………………of …………………..viscosity are equivalent in
meaning.
Absolute ……………….is a measure of the ……………… ……………………………
Absolute viscosity is measured in a unit called the……………………..
