 What is Piping?

Within industry, piping is a system of pipes used to convey fluids (liquids and gases) from one location to another. 

Piping also has many other industrial applications, which are crucial for moving raw and semi-processed fluids for refining into more useful products. Some of the more exotic materials used in pipe construction are Inconel, titanium, chrome-moly and various other steel alloys.

Piping Standards and codes:

• ASME B31.1 Power piping (steam piping etc.)
• ASME B31.3 Process piping
• ASME B31.4 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid Hydrocarbons and Other Liquids and oil and gas
• ASME B31.5 Refrigeration piping and heat transfer components
• ASME B31.8 Gas transmission and distribution piping systems
• ASME B31.9 Building services piping
• ASME B31.11 Slurry Transportation Piping Systems (Withdrawn, Superseded by B31.4)
• ASME B31.12 Hydrogen Piping and Pipelines
