Piping design

What is meant by Piping design?

The term "pipe system calculation" refers to the analysis and dimensioning of piping systems in various technical applications. These calculations include the determination of pressure losses, flow velocities, heat transfer, and strength of the pipelines. The goal is to design an efficient and safe piping system that meets the specific requirements of the plant.

Typical software functions in the area of "pipe system calculation":

1. Pressure loss calculation: Determination of pressure losses in pipes and fittings.
2. Flow simulation: Analysis of fluid flow within the pipe system.
3. Heat transfer calculation: Calculation of heat losses or gains in insulated pipelines.
4. Strength analysis: Verification of the structural integrity of pipelines under various loads.
5. Dimensioning: Automatic selection of suitable pipe sizes and wall thicknesses.
6. Material selection: Support in choosing appropriate pipe materials based on operating conditions.
7. Isometric generation: Creation of isometric drawings of the piping system.
8. Cost analysis: Calculation of material costs and installation costs for the piping system.

Examples of "pipe system calculation":

1. Calculation of pressure loss in a cooling water system of a power plant.
2. Dimensioning of a natural gas pipeline for an urban area.
3. Analysis of heat losses in an insulated steam line.
4. Strength calculation for a high-pressure line in a petrochemical plant.
5. Flow simulation in a complex piping network of a refinery.
6. Cost optimization of a piping system for a wastewater treatment plant.
