Several issues regarding pipeline layout

2016-02-23View Original

Thread Content

Why are the insulated pipes placed above, while the uninsulated ones are placed below? Metal pipes are arranged on top, while non-metallic pipes are arranged below. High-pressure pipes are above, and low-pressure pipes are below. High-pressure pipes are placed against the wall, while low-pressure pipes are on the outside

Is there any cherry-picking of information, where the limitations or scope of application are ignored? In that case, even good things can turn into bad ones. For insulated items, it might be easier to remove the insulation layer. Other unknown considerations

The same principle applies to non-metallic pipes as well; non-metallic pipes are relatively more prone to breaking than metal pipes. High-pressure pipelines are less harmful to people in the event of an explosion.

From a corporate policy perspective, there are no restrictions. But in the end it was said that the specific situation would have to be determined through on-site analysis

What is easier about non-metallic pipes compared to metal pipes?

Safety; Insulation is generally carried out after the overall pressure testing of the pipeline is completed, taking operational convenience into account.

So according to you, it’s more convenient to install insulated pipes at the bottom, right?

You, going up and down like that… how should I put it? Is it the person who looks up, with the insulated pipe against the top structure/wall, or is it the person who looks down, with the non-insulated pipe against the ground?

Sort by height – only the topmost one in the conduit hall is considered the upper one

Oh, an open space! Therefore, I believe it’s best to lay the insulation pipes in areas where there is sufficient space for insulation work!
