Picking up where I left off in May, when I touched on designing sheet metal distribution, this month I am going to hit the high points of engineering a pipe distribution system with thoughts on closed ...

Modern hydronic heating systems have evolved in complexity over the last few decades; no doubt we’ll continue to refine and improve upon them. With this evolution, the need for proper piping design ...

For a yet-to-be-selected fabricator, design large-diameter, corrosion-resistant, filament-wound composite pipe with sufficient strength to resist burial and settlement loads as well as internal ...

Power plant piping with a nominal pipe size of four inches or larger that carries steam or water operating at greater than 750F or 1,025 psi is considered a “covered piping system.” That means the ...

Pipe and tubing are used when rigid lines are preferred. No matter which conductor is used, certain requirements must be met. The line must be large enough to carry the flow required, and it must be ...

Pipe supports are basically of two types: primary and secondary. Primary Support: In primary type, the support is attached directly to the pipe. Secondary Support: In secondary type, the support is ...

Before 3D modeling, the only way of finding interference was by looking at two dimensional drawings or 2D models. Unfortunately, some problems were not found until construction was underway. Engineers ...
