Preface from PIPING

I’ve already made a promise to my friend and also myself that I have to focus with this and looks like today I have to keep my promise to him that I should focus on this thing. For that sake now I will launch my new blog call “PIPING”, and I plan to post the knowledge about Piping, Drafing and Design, also about Fitting, Calculation and the History of Piping it self. And Shall we begin with the first post from PIPING.

Preface

In the design of an industrial facility, engineers develop process flow sheets, set up project specifications and design or select equipment. The design drafters use the information supplied by engineers and equipment vendors and applies the knowledge and experience gained in the office and field to design and layout the facility.

In the design and layout of an industrial complex, thousands of piping drawings are needed to provide detailed information to the craftsmen who will construct the facility. Facility design and layout must meet the customer’s expectations as well as comply with safety codes, government standards, client specifications, budget, and start-up date.

The piping group has the main responsibility for the design and layout of the facility. Drafters and designers must coordinate their efforts with the civil, structural, electrical, and instrumentation groups throughout the design process. The piping group must provide each design group the necessary information needed to complete their part of the project and have the complete set of plan and construction drawings finished on time. During this time, it may be necessary for designers to visit the plant construction site to establish tie-ins or verify information necessary to complete the design.
