Introduction In piping design, selecting the correct pipe thickness is one of the most fundamental engineering tasks. Pipe thickness directly affects pressure containment, mechanical strength, corrosion life, safety, and project cost. In Oil and Gas Piping, chemical plants, refineries, and power plants, pipe thickness is not chosen arbitrarily. It is calculated using ASME B31 codes, … Read more
Introduction In piping design and piping engineering, correct identification of every pipeline is extremely important. In large plants such as oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, refineries, and power plants, thousands of pipelines carry different fluids under different pressures and temperatures. To manage this complexity, piping engineers use a Line Designation system, also known as … Read more
