Pipes + valves + instruments + pumps... Shouldn’t you be aware of these mistakes in piping design?

Thread Content

In piping design, due to designers’ negligence and lack of experience, it is common for the pipe layout to be unreasonable, making operation and maintenance difficult and resulting in an unsightly appearance. To improve design quality and reduce the occurrence of common mistakes, these are the most frequent examples in piping design! As people in the chemical industry, we need to study hard! Ten major sections: 1. Material selection and grade classification for pipes; 2. Layout of pipes and valves; 3. Pipeline design around pumps and motors; 4. Pipeline design for pumps; 5. Pipeline design for towers and containers; 6. Pipeline design for heat exchange equipment; 7. Pipeline design for heating furnaces; 8. Layout of steam pipelines; 9. Installation of supports; 10. Layout of instrumentation components. The first section is being shared today; other sections will be posted later if there is interest. 1. Pipe material selection and grade classification
