Piping is a system of pipes used to convey fluids
(liquids and gases) from one location to another. "Piping" sometimes
refers to Piping Design, the detailed specification of the physical piping
layout within a process plant or commercial building. In earlier days, this was
sometimes called Drafting, Technical drawing, Engineering Drawing, and Design
but is today commonly performed by Designers who have learned to use automated
Computer Aided Drawing / Computer Aided Design software.
Industrial process piping can be manufactured
from wood, fiberglass and glass and steel, aluminum, plastic, copper, and
concrete. 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.
