This has to be the end of general definitions of piping elements from letter "E", and I intend to do this so I can prepare other post in tomorrow morning. so with Piping & Fabrication still running the mission, now we will go with :
Electric Resistance-Welded Pipe.
Pipe produced in individual lengths or in continuous lengths from coiled skelp and subsequently cut into individual lengths having a longitudinal butt joint in which coalescence is produced by the heat obtained from resistance of the pipe to the flow of electric current in a circuit of which the pipe is a part and by the application of pressure.
End Preparation.
The contour prepared on the end of a pipe, fitting, or nozzle for welding. The particular preparation is prescribed by the governing code. Refer to Chap. A6 of this handbook.
Engineering Design.
The detailed design developed from process requirements and conforming to established design criteria, including all necessary drawings and specifications, governing a piping installation.
Equipment Connection.
An integral part of such equipment as
