3 Questions?
Piping Fundamentals
 WHAT IS PIPE?
 It is a hollow cylindrical tube which can be made of many
different kinds of material like:
 Metal
 Plastic
 Glass
 It’s main purpose is to transport liquids and gases at high/low
(1100oC/-200oC) temperatures and pressures (400
MPa/Vacuum).
Piping Fundamentals
 WHY PIPES ARE REQUIRED?
 To transfer raw products for ships to tanks.
 To transfer fluids and gases to processing plant tanks.
 To transfer fluids and gases during processing.
 To transfer finished products.
