Process Piping Systems
A pipe is a tube made of fiberglass, concrete, wood, plastic, or metal. 
Pipes are used to carry fine particles, slurries, gases, or liquids. A piping system includes the complete interconnection of pipes. It consists of in-line components like flanges and pipe fittings.
Tanks, valves, heat exchangers, and pumps are also part of a piping system. They are arteries of industrial processes. Piping systems are critical to an industrialized society. The design of a piping system depends on the functional requirements of transferring fluid from point A to point B. Design criteria include
- Temperature of fluid
- Stress analysis
- Process requirements such as the requirement of straight run or free drain
- Space limitations
- Desired velocity
- Allowable energy loss or pressure drop
- The type of fluid being transported
Supporting piping systems requires significant effort in engineering, designing, fabricating, and erecting. Special structures such as pedestals, U portals, cantilevers, inverted L, or T structures are sometimes needed to support the piping system. The design specs are outlined on a P ID. The instrumentation and piping diagram for the process piping system illustrates the functional relationship between system components, instrumentation, and piping.
Materials Used for Piping
The material chosen by a contractor must suit the operating conditions of the piping system. There are standard piping codes that guide the selection of the correct material. The objective is to ensure the material is safe under the erosion, corrosion, temperature, and pressure operating conditions.
The scientific name for PVC is polyvinyl chloride. It is a universal polymer with various applications, including process piping systems. It is used because of its low cost and weathering, chemical, and physical properties. PVC degrades at approximately 100 degrees Celsius when exposed to light. It releases hydrogen chloride.
High-density polyethylene pipe has better tensile strength and impact resistance. This plastic is highly resistant to climate changes, chemicals, and corrosion. Its strong molecular bond and high impermeability make it suitable for use in high-pressure pipelines, such as
- Drainage and stormwater pipes
- Communications and electrical conduit
- Fire system supply lines
- Rural irrigation
- Slurry transfer lines
- Sewer mains
- Gas mains
- Water mains
Another Service
Piping contractors are a versatile sort. Extreme Industrial Coatings service company also does boiler installation. A boiler is the core of a central heating system. Replacement installation is complicated and typically expensive. Our service company understands how difficult the process is and helps make the best decision that suits the needs. Factors to consider include:
- kW output and size of the boiler
- Reliability
- Location
- Energy-efficiency
- Installation time
Reasons to replace a boiler include:
- Beyond economical repair
- Moving the system
- The current system fails to meet the needs
- Low energy-efficiency rating
Services provided by Extreme Industrial Coating include an informed opinion by a qualified engineer to provide customers with the best advice.
