1) Piping: Piping includes pipe, flanges, fittings, bolting, gaskets, valves, and the pressurecontaining portions of other piping components. It also includes pipe hangers andsupports and other items necessary to prevent overpressurization and overstressing of the pressure-containing components. It is evident that pipe is one element or a part of piping. Therefore, pipe sections when joined with fittings, valves, and other mechanical equipment and properly supported by hangers and supports, are called piping. 2) Piping system: Interconnected piping subject to the same sets of design conditions. 3) Piping components: Mechanical element suitable for joining or assembly into pressure tight fluid containing … Continue reading PIPING vs PIPING SYSTEM
