The difference between Pipeline and Piping
Thread Content
For example: Pipeline and Instrument Diagram (P&ID), piping layout, piping plot-plan. In petroleum engineering terminology, “pipeline” refers to pipelines or tubes, while “piping” also denotes pipelines or piping systems. In the examples given above, “pipeline” and “piping” seem to be the commonly used terms; so can they be used interchangeably? Foreign design companies have highly specialized roles; pipeline and piping are two distinct specialties – they can be considered as the field of pipes and the field of piping systems – and these roles require specialized expertise that cannot be exchanged. If you are interested, please share your thoughts.
The piping specialty can be divided into: piping, piping stress, and piping material, which correspond to the three areas of pipeline installation, pipe stress analysis, and pipe materials. In some engineering companies, the use of the terms pipe, pipeline, and piping is rather chaotic. Most of the time, I just use what the owner uses, and that’s what I do as well.
I learned something new, thanks to the two people above! What is the difference between piping, tubes, and pipe materials? What are the specific requirements for the software used in these three majors, in particular?
I understand that different fields have their own specific names, and thus different translation conventions
I hope everyone will post more English translations of professional proper names
Piping, as the name implies, refers to arranging pipes in accordance with the requirements of the process. Pipe stress calculation should relate to the assessment of stresses in the pipes, while the pipe material should be chosen based on the requirements of the process – these are just my guesses; please have the experts from the design institute confirm this :)
\"Pipeline\" should refer to specific pipes such as U/G pipelines, while \"piping\" is a more abstract concept and should be translated as piping or something similar. I would appreciate advice from those familiar with piping technology.
I’ll talk from a morphological perspective: pipeline is composed of pipe and line； It indicates simplifying the physical “pipe” into a “line” in the drawing” ； piping is formed by pipe plus ing ； It indicates the nominalization of the verb “lay pipes” into “pipelining”” ； My personal understanding.
In my own understanding, \"pipeline\" refers to a specific conduit, while \"piping\" might refer more to the entire pipeline system
There’s no need to be so pedantic; it’s like distinguishing between chemical engineering and chemical technology – there’s actually no real difference.
As I understand it, Pipeline refers to a pipe or conduit. Piping is a field related to pipelines, encompassing piping systems, stress analysis, pipeline layout, and more. Only then will we have a Piping Engineer.
