A Beginner Guide to Piping

A Beginner Guide to Piping

• Lets Explore!

2
Whats pipe?

• A tubular substance made up of glass, fiber,
  metal, or any other material with a basic purpose
  of fluid liquidity from one point to another.

3
Basic Piping Operations

• Lets understand this with the help of an
  example.
• Lets take 3 tanks.
• Tank 1, Tank 2, and Tank 3.
• Where Tank 1 is the largest in size, and other
  two have nearly same dimensions.

4
Basic Piping Operations(Contd.)

• Situation
• Transfer Liquid from Tank 1 to Tank 2 and Tank 3.
• We need to connect Tanks so that liquid can be
  transferred form Tank 1 to Tank 2, followed by
  Tank 3.

5
Basic Piping Operations(Contd.)

• To connect the tanks together, we use separate
  cylindrical components known as pipe fittings.
• The size and shape of these pipes may vary from
  applications to applications.
• At some point, bended pipe fittings are required
  and for some, branched pipe fitting suits the
  best.

6
Types of Pipe Fittings

• Some of the pipe fittings are as the following
• Elbows/Bends
• Tees/Branches
• Reducers/Expanders
• Couplings
• Olets
• Etc.

7
Tank Nozzles

• Once tanks are successfully grouped together via
  pipe fittings, they need to be ended with tank
  nozzles.
• Tank nozzles are components that connect pipe
  fittings to the tank.
• With this, the process of connecting pipes ends.
• This is known as Terminal Connections.

• For next part( Valves and Strainers),
• stay connected.
• We will update you soon.
