Piping How things go wrong

Power plant steam turbine steam pipe under
lube oil pipe.
Hostel drinking water pipe and sewage pipe too
close.
Automobile brake oil leak on alternator.
Pipes running into beams, columns, walls,
Pipe centerline O.K. (?) but insulation fouls with
walls/ceiling.

Lecture summary
Using schematics/P&I diagrams make piping
drawings (routing), to scale, with material
and other specifications (e.g. standards)
NEXT STEP : Piece-wise design and

manufacture of pipes, joining details, and

their supports,
