INTRODUCTION About two decades ago, in India, the design procedure for piping systems for Refineries, Petrochemicals and Fertilizer Plants, in magnitude, depth and complexities were not fully evolved. Only in the recent past, we were exposed in detail to this field. Now we are self: sufficient in the field of piping technology and design. Piping systems in a chemical plant are comparable to the vanes and arteries through which fluids, vapors, slurries, solids, ete. flow under various conditions, as imposed by the process design of the plant. Piping network is subjected to almost all the severest conditions of the plant such as high temperature, pressure, flow and combination of these. In addition to the above, corrosion, erosion, toxic conditions and radioactivity add to more problems and difficulties in piping design, With the process conditions becoming more and more severe by the advancement in process development, a continuous effort is required to be carried on simultaneously to cope up with the demands of process. This makes the job of a piping engineer more complex and responsible. Piping, because of its nature, requires a number of day to day decisions on matters of detail, which, in some ways are often more difficult to solve than major issues connected with the project. It is this same detail which can cause expensive delays in design and construction and consequently in commissioning. All too often in the past, piping has been regarded as an unimportant job in the overall project engineering instead of being treated as a function requiring as wide a knowledge, experience and variety skills as any other branch of engineering. In almost all chemical industries, the installed capital cost of piping is a major factor in plant investment. Figs. 1 and 2 show a chart based on oil refineries, chemical and petrochemical complexes. Fig. 1 shows that, excluding major equipment costs, piping is the largest plant cost component. It exceeds the next largest component by a factor of two. It is also observed from Fig. 3 that piping exceeds all other field costs by a substantial amount. Fig. 2 indicates that design engineering utilizes approximately 45% of engineering man-hours and 50% of these hours are used in piping design. In addition to the above, the lost time in piping has an effect, which goes well beyond its direct cost, as it involves financial loss in some proportion to the total plant investment. The delay in and during start up means idle capital and losses in plant earning capacity. In the recent years, the trend is to develop better techniques so as to save time in piping activities. Computer is being used extensively to obtain rapid solutions to the more complex problems of plant design and, in so for as piping is concemed, to the solving of problems of pipe stressing. More recently, itis being employed for production of piping detail drawings, piping isometrics, bill of materials, cost estimation and control. Piping engineer has therefore a further responsibility in understanding and application of continually growing techniques of this ature.
