Introduction Piping & Fabrication

Piping System

I'm one of the employee in Indonesia, my factory is in Purwakarta and I work as an IT in that company. My company business is Piping and Fabrication and I write this blog because I just learn what is Fabrication, what is Piping System and what is the definition of all of that Piping System, structure, pipe, etc.

I've got a Piping Handbook from Mohinder L Nayyar, P. E. and I intend to publish this because I want everyone who need to learn about Piping System and Fabrication they can learn from this blog and thanks for the great book from Mohinder L Nayyar, P.E.

and here we are, we start from INTRODUCTION.


Piping systems are like arteries and veins. They carry the lifeblood of modern civilization. In a modern city they transport water from the sources of water supply to the points of distribution; convey waste from residential and commercial buildings and other civic facilities to the treatment facility or the point of discharge. Similarly,
pipelines carry crude oil from oil wells to tank farms for storage or to refineries for processing. The natural gas transportation and distribution lines convey natural gas from the source and storage tank forms to points of utilization, such as power plants, industrial facilities, and commercial and residential communities. In chemical
plants, paper mills, food processing plants, and other similar industrial establishments, the piping systems are utilized to carry liquids, chemicals, mixtures, gases, vapors, and solids from one location to another.

The fire protection piping networks in residential, commercial, industrial, and other buildings carry fire suppression fluids, such as water, gases, and chemicals to provide protection of life and property. The piping systems in thermal power plants convey high-pressure and high-temperature steam to generate electricity. Other piping systems in a power plant transport high- and low-pressure water, chemicals,low-pressure steam, and condensate. Sophisticated piping systems are used to process and carry hazardous and toxic substances. The storm and wastewater piping systems transport large quantities of water away from towns, cities, and industrial and similar establishments to safeguard life, property, and essential facilities.

In health facilities, piping systems are used to transport gases and fluids for medical purposes. The piping systems in laboratories carry gases, chemicals, vapors, and other fluids that are critical for conducting research and development. In short, the piping systems are an essential and integral part of our modern civilization just
as arteries and veins are essential to the human body.

The design, construction, operation, and maintenance of various piping systems involve understanding of piping fundamentals, materials, generic and specific design considerations, fabrication and installation, examinations, and testing and inspection requirements, in addition to the local, state and federal regulations.

I think that's all for the Introduction from Piping System and Fabrication, and I hope I can provide you all about the Piping System and Fabrication. Thanks and Good Luck
