Piping Systems

Piping standards, classifications and applications are important considerations in various industries that use piping systems to transport fluids or gases. Here is a brief overview of these areas: Standards: Plumbing standards are often set by organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and national standards agencies. These standards provide guidance for the design, materials, fabrication, inspection, and testing of piping systems to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with regulatory requirements. 

Piping systems can be classified based on a variety of criteria, including material type, pressure rating, temperature range, and intended use.Pressure level: low pressure, medium pressure, high pressure, ultra-high pressure pipeline.

Piping systems are used in a wide range of industries, including:Oil and Gas: Used for the transportation of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products in refineries, pipelines and drilling operations Chemical and Petrochemical: Used to transport a wide range of chemicals, acids and hazardous materials in processing plants and industrial facilities Power Generation: For the distribution of steam, water and natural gas in power plants and energy facilities HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning): Used for the distribution of hot and cold water, refrigerant and ventilation duct systems within a building Water and wastewater treatment: for municipal water supplies, wastewater treatment systems, irrigation and desalination plants When selecting piping materials and systems, factors such as the type of fluid or gas being transported, operating conditions, environmental factors, and compliance with industry-specific codes and standards must be considered.
