Inputs and Outputs from Piping Discipline for Piping System design



While designing a piping system, many inputs are required from other disciplines and also inputs are given to other disciplines. There are also few outputs generated by piping which are required for procurement, erection and fabrication of the piping system.




Inputs to Piping discipline


1. Requirement from client:
Plot area and location, statutory requirement, special requirements etc.

2. Process licensor:
Project design basis, plot plan, PFDs(Process Flow Diagram), P&IDs (Process and Instrumentation Diagram), PDS (Process Data Sheet), process description, equipment list, line list, site data, licensor, capacity etc.

3. Process information:
Process data sheet showing overall dimensions, supporting arrangement, all nozzles location, size, rating, etc. for equipment.

4. Civil/Structural layout, drawing:
  • Effluent & drain sewers layouts and manholes location.
  • Civil drawings (plan and elevation) for the facilities within the unit like instrumentation control room, electrical sub-station, and laboratory.
  • Pipe racks and technological structure foundation drawings.
  • Civil drawings for platforms.
  • Tank settlement data.

5. Instrument drawing:
  • Tray width requirement on pipe rack/sleepers.
  • Instrumentation hook-up drawing.
  • Instruments drawings for control valves, safety valves, inline instruments etc.

6. Electrical layout:
Tray width requirement on pipe rack/pipe sleepers and cable trenches width in units/off-site.
Electrical cable tray layout.

7. Mechanical (Static/Rotary/Package) layout:
  • Mechanical datasheets for equipment like columns, vessels, tanks etc.
  • Layout drawing of packages items showing auxiliary equipment.

8. HVAC: (Heating, Ventilation, and Air conditioning)
Layouts showing the HVAC duct size and the location.




Outputs from Piping discipline

  • Overall plot plan showing location of various units, tankfarms, offsite, package units, non-plant buildings, roads, culverts, piperacks, sleepers, etc.
  • PMS (Piping Material Specification)& VMS (Valve Material Specification).
  • Equipment general arrangement drawing/layouts indicating the location of all the equipment within the unit, platforms , ladders, overhead crane elevation, monorail location, cutouts for piping.
  • Piperack general arrangement drawing & structures for equipment support
  • Piping general arrangement drawing/Layouts showing all the piping and equipment.
  • Piping Bill of Materials (BOM) with technical evaluation and technical bid analysis (TBA).
  • Piping stress analysis report for the critical lines.
  • Drawing showing the vessel cleats location for pipe supports and platform/ladder.
  • Layout for underground services.
  • Piping isometrics with bill of material.
  • Support location plan, support schedule, pipe support drawings.
  • Purchase specification for insulation, painting, wrapping and coating.
  • Material handling study.

Types of Loads Considered for Piping Stress Analysis

Piping Stress Analysis is the practice and discipline carried out behind the scenes of any piping design project to ensure structural and operational integrity, and optimal design. All piping systems are inevitably subjected to various kinds of loads in their design life cycle. These loads develop stresses in the arrangement. Pipe stress engineers typically analyze such systems for stress using reliable software such as Caesar II to check that the stress levels are within the permissible limits as defined by the codes/standards.  The following are some of the most common type of loads considered during stress analysis:- Wind Load: The majority of all piping system installations are indoors where the effects of wind loading can be neglected. However, there are sufficient numbers of outdoor piping installations where wind loading can be a significant design factor. Wind load, like dead weight, is a uniformly distributed load that acts along the entire length, or ...

What is Piping Engineering and Its Scope in Mechanical Industries ?

Before we Learn about What is Piping Engineering and scope of Piping Engineering In Mechanical Based Industries . First lets Know about What is Pipe and Piping Process ? When a fluid is required to be transferred from one location to other, pipe is required. A pipe is considered as a pressure tight cylinder which is used to convey fluids under pressure through materials of commercially available designation. What is a Pipe ? A pipe is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow — liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders, masses of small solids. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipe is far stronger per unit weight than solid members. Piping systems act like a nervous system for the flow of fluid in the huge network of any industry around the globe. What is Piping ? Piping is an assembly of pipe, pipe fittings, valves, instruments and speci...
