Pipe and Piping System

Monday again now, and that's mean busy times! and that proven that I can post for this Piping Fabrication blog at 10.30 in my work place. By the way, for some people today is very hard day, because they have to make a report, long report about the schedule of the next week preparation for long shutdown at the factory. And now we reach to the Pipe and Piping System of the General Definitions, and we will continue and continue this until I already reach the maximum ability, but that's very far from it. and here we go with the definitions.

Pass.
A single progression of a welding or surfacing operation along a joint, weld deposit, or substrate. The result of a pass is a weld bead, layer, or spray deposit.

Peel Test.
A destructive method of examination that mechanically separates a lap joint by peeling.

Peening.

peening

The mechanical working of metals by means of hammer blows.

Pickle.
The chemical or electrochemical removal of surface oxides. Following welding operations, piping is frequently pickled in order to remove mill scale, oxides formed during storage, and the weld discolorations.

Pipe.

PIPE

A tube with a round cross section conforming to the dimensional requirements for nominal pipe size as tabulated in ASME B36.10M
and ASME B36.19M. For special pipe having diameter not listed in the above-mentioned standards, the nominal diameter corresponds to the outside diameter.

Pipe Alignment Guide.
A restraint in the form of a sleeve or frame that permits the pipeline to move freely only along the axis of the pipe.

Pipe Supporting Fixtures.

Pipe Supporting Fixtures

Elements that transfer the load from the pipe or structural attachment to the support structure or equipment.

Pipeline or Transmission Line.
A pipe installed for the purpose of transmitting gases, liquids, slurries, etc., from a source or sources of supply to one or more distribution centers or to one or more large-volume customers; a pipe installed to interconnect source or sources of supply to one or more distribution centers or to one or more large-volume customers; or a pipe installed to interconnect sources of supply.

Piping System.

piping system

Interconnected piping subject to the same set or sets of design conditions.

Plasma Cutting.

plasma cutting

A group of cutting processes in which the severing or removal of metals is effected by melting with a stream of hot ionized gas.
