Water Piping System & Piping Design

The engineering discipline of piping design studies the efficient transport of fluid. Industrial process piping (and accompanying in-line components) can be manufactured from wood, glass, steel, aluminium, plastic, copper, and concrete. 

Within industry, piping is a system of pipes used to convey fluids (liquids and gases) from one location to another. The in-line components, known as fittings, valves, and other devices, typically sense and control the pressure, flow rate and temperature of the transmitted fluid, and usually are included in the field of piping design. Piping systems are documented in Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (PID). If necessary, pipes can be cleaned by the tube cleaning process.
