Inspect New Piping
Piping systems are like arteries and veins in the oil industry. Piping systems comprise of pipes, flanges, bolting, gaskets, valves etc. They also include pipe hangers, supporting elements and other items necessary to prevent over pressurization and over stressing of the pressure containing components. Hence, one can say that pipe section when fitted with valves and other mechanical equipment and properly supported by hangers and supports are called piping.

Flow Measurement in Pipes and Ducts Course
This course is about measurement of the flow rate of a fluid flowing under pressure in a closed conduit. This course is intended primarily for mechanical, civil and chemical, environmental, and industrial engineers. Someone completing this course will gain knowledge about twelve different types of meters for measuring fluid flow rate in a closed conduit. They will learn about typical calculations for differential pressure meters and pitot tubes. They will learn the general principles of operation for each type and general advantages and disadvantages of each.

Presentation on Fundamentals of Pipeline Design
➢The amount of fluid flow through the pipeline is one of the first items of information required for design
➢ Different industries use pipeline for different purposes. requirements & types of pipe are different
➢ Petroleum industry & natural gas industry use steel pipe with welded joints.
➢ This allows the pipeline to withstand very high pressure, sometimes above 3000 psig
➢ High pressure allow the use of long pipelines, often more then 1000 miles with only a booster pump or station for each pipeline
➢ Some pipelines are designed with some excess capacity or design so capacity can be increased by the addition of compression or pumping horsepower

Basic Pipe Stress Analysis Tutorial
It is common practice worldwide for piping designers to route piping by considering mainly space, process and flow constraints (such as pressure drop) and other requirements arising from constructability, operability and reparability. Unfortunately, pipe stress analysis requirements are often not sufficiently considered while routing and supporting piping systems, especially in providing adequate flexibility to absorb expansion/contraction of pipes due to thermal loads. So, when “as designed” piping systems are handed-off to pipe stress engineers for detailed analysis, they soon realize that the systems are “stiff” and suggest routing changes to make the systems more flexible. The piping designers, in turn, make changes to routing and send the revised layout to the pipe stress engineers to check for compliance again. Such “back and forth” design iterations between layout and stress departments continue until a suitable layout and support scheme is arrived at, resulting in significant increase in project execution time, which, in turn, increases project costs. This delay in project execution is further worsened in recent years by increased operating pressures and temperatures in order to increase plant output; increased operating pressures increase pipe wall thicknesses, which, in turn, increase piping stiffnesses further. Such increased operating temperatures applied on “stiffer” systems increase pipe thermal stresses and support loads. So, it is all the more important to make the piping layout flexible at the time of routing.

Introduction to Piping Design
• As per Merriam Webster dictionary , the pipe is a long tube or hollow body for conducting a liquid, gas, or finely divided solid.
• Technically : The pipe Is a beam , which acts as pressure vessel and transfer fluids.
