• Vital concepts in piping engineering, MITSkills,
  Pune
• Transportation of various substances like water,
  chemicals, slurries, gases, oil, and small solids
  is requisite in various plants and this can be
  accomplished using pipes. However, pipes are not
  merely fixed into the systems. For pipes to
  function properly, a deep study related to piping
  layout, materials required, piping stress
  analysis and its supports needs to carried out
  prior to designing a piping system.
• This study is termed as piping engineering.  The
  pipes are needed in almost every industry
  including the oil and gas industry, wastewater
  industry, water supply sector, manufacturing
  plants, construction and many more. Thus, piping
  engineering forms the basis of various
  industries.
• The candidates who aspire to become piping
  engineers must have the know-how of some vital
  concepts that need to be taken care of for
  efficiently designing and implementing a piping
  system. These are as follows

3

• Types of Fluids
• When you are designing a piping system, you
  should be aware of the type of fluid that will
  pass through the pipes. There is different types
  of fluids- Ideal, Real, Newtonian, Non-Newtonian
  and Ideal plastic fluid. Different fluids have
  different properties and flow pattern, so their
  handling has to be done differently.
• Flow of fluids and concept of Reynolds number
• In pipes, the fluid has three types of flow-
  laminar, turbulent and transient flow. The flow
  pattern and Reynolds number in case of these
  three flows are different. Proper knowledge about
  the flow of fluids and their Reynolds number
  helps in determining piping line sizing.
• Furthermore, this concept also deals with
  pressure drop calculation which is imperative in
  pipe designing.

• Concepts involved in computing the size the
  pipeline
• Sizing is the most vital phase in piping
  engineering as oversizing or under sizing can
  lead to bottlenecking of the piping system. 
  Large pipelines not only increase the operational
  cost but it also creates a problem in the
  functioning of the plant.
• Whereas small pipelines may consume more energy
  during the movement of fluids.  So sizing should
  be done meticulously. Sizing is dependent on
  various factors and the basic principle involves
  calculating the pressure drop between the two
  ends.
• Normally, sizing is done after optimizing the
  cost of materials and operational cost. It is
  calculated by comparing the available pressure
  drop and the calculated pressure drop.

5

• Concepts related to selection of pump and valves
• There are two types of pumps- Centrifugal pump
  and Centripetal pump. Selecting the right kind of
  pump and valve makes the flow of fluids easy.
• The concepts related to the pumps and valves
  include the study of flow and pressure
  characteristics of pumps, selection of pump,
  optimization of the pump, types of valves, flow
  characteristics, and pressure drops in various
  valves.
• Stress Analysis
• Stress analysis in a pipe is essential as it
  predicts the stress and loads that result from
  weights, pressure, thermal transients and bolt-up
  strains.
• It is required in those cases where the pipes
  experience high-temperature fluctuations, long
  pipe runs, or need to carry hot water or
  chemicals.

• So these were vital concepts for piping
  engineering. Having knowledge of piping
  engineering concepts can give you an edge over
  other candidates looking for a job in various
  sectors. You can go for piping engineering
  courses to brush up your skills in the domain.
• MIT Skills offers the best course in the domain
  where the subject matter is prepared by industry
  experts and candidates are trained through a
  practical approach. An Advanced Post Graduate
  Program in Piping Engineering with PDMS and
  CAESAR-II accustoms you to vital concepts and
  software that help in efficacious designing of
  the piping systems.
