Introduction

Further to my last post about the Codes and Standards used in designing piping systems, British standards are used in many countries like India. There are many British Standards available which can be used instead of American Standards in piping engineering. The general referred British codes and standards for piping systems are: BS 10 – Specification for Flanges and Bolting ...

Piping systems are generally designed based on codes and standards. The knowledge of codes and standard are important for the selection of proper material of construction and to develop the material specification. To avoid unnecessary and undesirable differences in piping systems, components and procedures, Standardization is required as it reduces cost, inconvenience and confusion. These standards are published by professional ...

Table of contents: Inputs to piping discipline Outputs from piping discipline 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 ...
