Basic Piping Design Class (PI&II)

This class focuses on the detail
design required to produce piping
plans and isometrics while
conforming to project
requirements.
The graduate of this class will be
ready to advance on to phase II
which will require optimeyes
training and then Intergraph
PDS design. 2

What is Piping Design?
Piping Design is the physical
arrangement of equipment,
piping and instruments that
provides for process
requirements, operations,
maintenance, safety, and
construction, accessibility and
feasibility. It must be consistent
with state and local codes, the
budget and schedule.

 DESIGN CONSIDERATION
FOR ROUTING OF PIPE
• Materials of Construction (Metallurgy
Review)
• Specification
– Flange Rating, Pipe Wall Thickness,
Gasket Types, Types of Valves.
• Stress Considerations
– Temperature, Adequate Supports,
(Attachments) What Forces Are Imposed
on Attached Equipment?
• Fabrication Considerations
