Plastic pipework standards for the conveyance of drinking water, waste water, chemicals, heating and cooling fluids, foodstuffs, ultra-pure liquids, slurries, gases, compressed air and vacuum system applications. Plastic Pressure Pipe Systems have many advantages to offer to the designer, installer and end user of pipe systems; they are light weight, easier to install than metal piping systems, faster to install as well as being more cost effective than metal piping systems. They are used for both above and below ground applications. A well installed and well maintained Plastic Pressure Pipe System could have a life cycle of up to 50 years. This is dependent upon the medium, temperature, chemical consistency, pressure and type of plastic pressure pipe system selected. Plastic Pressure Pipe Systems have been in use since the 1950s.
The most common Plastic Pressure Pipe Systems are:
* ABS Pipe Systems
* PVC Pipe Systems uPVC Pipe Systems PVCu Pipe Systems or PVC-U Pipe Systems
* PVC-C Pipe Systems
* PP Pipe Systems
* PE Pipe Systems or MDPE Pipe Systems

Double-walled pipe
A double-walled pipe is a secondary contained piping system. It is a pipe within a pipe or encased in an outer covering, with an annulus (interstitial space)between the two diameters. The inner pipe is the primary or carrier pipe and the outer pipe is called the secondary or containment pipe. The great majority of double-walled piping applications involve wastewater, groundwater and process safety.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, published in 40 CFR Parts 280 and 281 , mandate double-walled piping for many below-ground transport systems in wastewater treatment plants and at sanitary or hazardous-waste landfills or remediation sites. These and other regulations affect below-grade transport of hazardous materials in fuel storage systems, tank farms, drainage or runoff from process plants, and some food-processing and related applications. Double-walled containment systems are also used for certain classes of toxic or corrosive chemicals — mostly gases — used in semiconductor fabrication. Double-walled pipes may also be used where a waste water pipe traverses a drinking water catchment area.
Double-walled pipe system may use plastic pressure pipe systems materials of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), polypropylene (PP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (ECTFE). Dual-wall stainless steel tubing is most commonly used in semiconductor plants for the containment of highly toxic gases.
A leak detection system in the containment pipe indicates if the carrier pipe is leaking. Double wall pipes are usually hydrostatically tested or tested to hold and maintain a target gas pressure before the first use.
A special application of a double-walled pipe is a jacketed pipe, which is used to make high viscosity liquids flow at normal temperature through the carrier pipe. The outer pipe circulates hot fluids that heats up the carrier pipe.

what is Piping?
Within industry, piping is a system of pipes used to convey fluids (liquids and gases) from one location to another. The engineering discipline of piping design studies the efficient transport of fluid.
Industrial process piping (and accompanying in-line components) can be manufactured from wood, fiberglass, glass, steel, aluminum, plastic, copper, and concrete. The in-line components, known as fittings, valves, and other devices, typically sense and control the pressure, flow rate and temperature of the transmitted fluid, and usually are included in the field of Piping Design (or Piping Engineering). Piping systems are documented in piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). If necessary, pipes can be cleaned by the tube cleaning process.
"Piping" sometimes refers to Piping Design or the performance of the actual layout of the physical piping within a process plant or commercial building. In earlier days, this was sometimes called Drafting, Technical drawing, Engineering Drawing, and Design but is commonly performed by Designers who have learned to used automated computer aided drawing/computer aided design (CAD) software.
Plumbing is a piping system that most people are familiar with, as it constitutes the form of fluid transportation that is used to provide potable water and fuels to their homes and business. Plumbing pipes also remove waste in the form of sewage, and allow venting of sewage gases to the outdoors. Fire sprinkler systems also use piping, and may transport potable or nonpotable water, or other fire-suppression fluids.
Piping also has many other industrial applications, which are crucial for moving raw and semi-processed fluids for refining into more useful products. Some of the more exotic materials of construction are Inconel, Titanium, chrome-moly and various other steel alloys.

Heat pipe
A heat pipe is a heat transfer mechanism that combines the principles of both thermal conductivity and phase transition to efficiently manage the transfer of heat between two solid interfaces.
At the hot interface within a heat pipe, which is typically at a very low pressure, a liquid in contact with a thermally conductive solid surface turns into a vapor by absorbing the heat of that surface. The vapor condenses back into a liquid at the cold interface, releasing the latent heat. The liquid then returns to the hot interface through either capillary action or gravity action where it evaporates once more and repeats the cycle. In addition, the internal pressure of the heat pipe can be set or adjusted to facilitate the phase change depending on the demands of the working conditions of the thermally managed system.

pipe valves and its importance
A valve is a accessory that regulates the breeze of a aqueous (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing assorted passageways. Valves are technically aqueduct fittings, but are usually discussed as a abstracted category. In an accessible valve, aqueous flows in a administration from college burden to lower pressure.
Valves are additionally begin in the animal body. For example, there are several affection valves which ascendancy the breeze of claret in the accommodation of the affection and advance the actual pumping action.
Valves are acclimated in a array of contexts, including industrial, military, commercial, residential, and transport.
The industries in which the majority of valves are acclimated are oil and gas, ability generation, mining, baptize reticulation, sewerage and actinic manufacturing.[citation needed]
Plumbing valves, such as curtains for hot and algid tap baptize are the best apparent types of valves. Other valves encountered on a circadian base accommodate gas ascendancy valves on cookers, baby valves adapted to abrasion machines and dishwashers, and assurance accessories adapted to hot baptize systems.
Valves may be operated manually, either by a duke wheel, batten or pedal. Valves may additionally be automatic, apprenticed by changes in pressure, temperature, or flow. These changes may act aloft a diaphragm or a agent which in about-face activates the valve, examples of this blazon of valve begin frequently are assurance valves adapted to hot baptize systems or boilers.
More circuitous ascendancy systems application valves acute automated ascendancy based on an alien ascribe (i.e., acclimation breeze through a aqueduct to a alteration set point) crave an actuator. An actuator will achievement the valve depending on its ascribe and set-up, acceptance the valve to be positioned accurately, and acceptance ascendancy over a array of requirements.
Valves are additionally begin in the Otto aeon (internal combustion) engines apprenticed by a camshaft, tappets or advance rods area they comedy a above role in agent aeon control.

History of plumbing
Plumbing was acutely attenuate until the advance of avant-garde cities in the 19th century. At about the aforementioned time accessible bloom authorities began acute for more good decay auctioning systems to be installed. Earlier, the decay auctioning arrangement alone consisted of accession decay and auctioning it on arena or into a river. Standardized earthen accouterments pipes with ample flanges authoritative use of city for preventing leakages appeared in the burghal settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization by 2700 B.C. Accouterments originated during the age-old civilizations such as the Greek, Roman, Persian, Indian, and Chinese civilizations as they developed accessible baths and bare to accommodate cooler water, and arising of wastes. The Romans acclimated advance aqueduct inscriptions to anticipate baptize theft. Improvement in accouterments systems was actual slow, with around no advance fabricated from the time of the Roman arrangement of aqueducts and advance pipes until the 19th century. Eventually the development of separate, underground baptize and carrion systems alone accessible carrion ditches and cesspools. Most ample cities today aqueduct solid wastes to analysis plants in adjustment to abstracted and partly absolve the baptize afore elimination into streams or added bodies of water. The use of advance for cooler baptize beneath acutely afterwards World War II because of the dangers of advance poisoning. At this time, chestnut brim was alien as a more good and safer another to advance pipes.
Another actual acclimated for accouterments pipes, decidedly baptize main, was biconcave board logs captivated in animate banding. Logs acclimated for baptize administration were acclimated in England abutting to 500 years ago. The US cities began application biconcave logs in the backward 18th through the 19th centuries

Piping and plumbing fittings
Fittings are used in pipe and plumbing systems to connect straight pipe or tubing sections, to adapt to different sizes or shapes, and to regulate fluid flow, for example. Fittings, especially noncommon types, can be expensive, and require time, materials, and tools to install, so they are a non-trivial part of piping and plumbing systems. Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed separately.
Common fittings for both piping and plumbing
Elbow
A pipe fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tube allowing a change of direction, usually 90° or 45°. The ends may be machined for butt welding, threaded (usually female), or socketed, etc. When the two ends differ in size, it is called a reducing or reducer elbow.
Most elbows are available in short radius or long radius of types. The short radius elbows have a center to end distance equal to the NPS in inches, while the long radius is 1.5 times the NPS in inches. Short elbows are universally available; long elbows are readily available in Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS, plastic), PVC for DWV, sewage and central vacuums, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) and copper for 1950s to 1960s houses with copper drains.
Tee
A tee is used to either combine or split a fluid flow. Most common are tees with the same inlet and outlet sizes, but 'reducing' tees are available as well. Tee-fittings are also an integral part of the computer-enthusiast level watercooling solutions found in many modern enthusiast PCs. The fitting is one of the three main components of a T-Line, alongside an end-cap or fillport and a length of tubing. They are plumbed into the system, with the perpendicular barb (and its attached stretch of tubing leading to a fillport or a cap).

Pipe fitting methods
Pipe fitting is the occupation of installing or repairing piping or tubing systems that convey liquid, gas, and occasionally solid materials. This work involves selecting and preparing pipe or tubing, joining it together by various means, and the location and repair of leaks.
Pipe fitting work is done in many different settings: HVAC, manufacturing, hydraulics, refineries, computer chip fab plants, power plant construction and other steam systems. Pipe fitters (sometimes called simply "fitters") are represented in the USA and Canada by the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada.
Fitters work with a variety of pipe and tubing materials including several types of steel, copper, iron, plastic, aluminium. Pipe fitting is not plumbing, the two are related but separate trades. Pipe fitters who specialize in fire prevention are called Sprinklerfitters, another related, but separate trade.

Types of cleaning pipes
Regular charwoman is a key basic of any abiding candor program, and we are a apple baton in accepted and specialized cleaning. Our band of charwoman accoutrement is all-encompassing and adaptive, and we are committed to activity above accepted solutions to accommodated the alteration needs of today's activity operators.
Cleaning Pigs
Poly Pig
The adjustable polyurethane pig is ideal for applications aback the activity action is not able-bodied known, and the primary claim is to ensure the pig does not block the pipeline.
Pin Caster Pig
The pin caster pig is advised to aggressively abolish bits such as calibration and adamantine wax from the walls of the pipeline. Adamantine animate pins with tungsten carbide heads, absorbed to polyurethane disks on the pig, access and scrape bits from the pipewall. The aggressiveness of the apparatus can be adapted by removing some of the pins, addition or abridgement the pins and application added or beneath airy polyurethane for the pin wheel. The pin caster pig is usually towed through the band by a able alluring charwoman pig application a specially-designed accepted coupling.
Pressure Bypass Pig
This is a simple but able band-aid to a analytical bearings that can action aback pigging aqueous lines. A scraper pig loosens bits and bulldozes it forth the line. On occasion, the aggregate of bits becomes so abundant that the pig can no best move it, consistent in a ashore pig and a blocked pipeline. Our band-aid is a charwoman pig that responds to the accumulation of a bang of bits by bypassing aqueous artefact through its body. As bits builds up in advanced of the pig, the cogwheel burden beyond it builds up as the pig finds it added difficult to move. Aback the cogwheel burden alcove a analytical value, a abatement valve in the pig anatomy opens and allows artefact to jet through the pig, bloom abroad the bits in advanced of the pig and enabling it to move. The bypass pig is generally acclimated to advance a ashore pig out of the pipeline.
Inhibitor Aerosol Pig
The inhibitor aerosol pig applies a bane inhibitor to called botheration areas in a high-pressure pipeline, alienated the amount of aggregate inhibitor for the accomplished pipeline. The bane inhibitor is stored in the advanced and centermost modules, while high-pressure nitrogen is captivated in the rear. Nitrogen is appropriate to displace the inhibitor as the pig campaign through the pipe. A aerosol arrangement is absorbed to the aback end of the pig to administer the inhibitor.
Magnetic Charwoman Pig
This pre-inspection pig removes adamant brownish debris, such as adjustment rods, from a pipeline. It uses able abiding magnets to aggregate and authority the debris.
Cup Pig
These pigs are advised for use in continued runs in which abrasion may be a appropriate concern. They are defined for allotment of pipelines as an another to bi-directional pigs, and for break of altered media.
Brush Pig
The besom pig is a bi-directional charwoman apparatus that cleans after abrading the autogenous bank of the pipeline. It uses both brownish and non-metallic brushes, and is as active and able as added bi-directional pigs. Besom pigs are ideal for use in aerodynamics ammunition pipelines.
Circumferential Besom Pig
The circumferential besom pig is agnate to a approved besom pig, but its charwoman brushes are non-segmented and accordingly awning the abounding 360 degrees of pipewall.
Dual Bore Pig
This pig seals deeply to the centralized pipewall, and can be custom produced for any bore differentials.
Bi-Directional Pig
This pre-inspection pig removes adamant brownish debris, such as adjustment rods, from a pipeline. It uses able abiding magnets to aggregate and authority the debris.
Four Types of pipes Manufacturing
Longitudinally Anchored SAW Pipe
Welded aqueduct (pipe bogus with a weld) is a tubular artefact fabricated out of collapsed plates, accepted as skelp, that are formed, angled and able for welding. The best accepted action for ample bore aqueduct uses a longitudinal bond weld. Bifold abysmal arc anchored (DSAW) aqueduct is anchored aqueduct whose longitudinal base collective is anchored in at atomic two passes, one of which is on the central of the pipe; the welds are fabricated by heating with an electric arc amid the bald metal electrode. Burden is not used. Filler metal for the welds is acquired from the electrodes. For diameters aloft 36 inches, bifold bond anchored aqueduct is defined as an another in API 5L. This has two longitudinal seams 180° apart, formed by the SAW process. Accomplished pipes are commonly 40 anxiety (12 m) and occasionally 60 anxiety (18 m) long, depending on the accommodation of the aqueduct comminute and the affluence of carriage to the pipeline.
Spiral Anchored Pipe
As an another process, circling bond architecture allows ample bore aqueduct to be produced from narrower plates or skelp. The defects that action in circling anchored aqueduct are mainly those associated with the SAW weld, and are agnate in attributes to those for longitudinally anchored SAW pipe. An added botheration with aboriginal circling anchored aqueduct was poor dimensional accuracy, decidedly out of adequateness at the aqueduct ends. This led to problems of poor fit-up during acreage ambit welding. Circling linepipe acquired a poor acceptability in some companies as a aftereffect of these aboriginal experiences, and it was advised acceptable alone for low burden applications such as baptize pipe. However, avant-garde circling linepipe from a exceptional affection supplier is of a affection agnate to beeline bond anchored pipe, and it has been acclimated abundantly in Canada and Europe for aerial burden gas pipelines in grades up to API X70.
Seamless Pipe
*
Bung Mill
This action is acclimated to accomplish beyond sizes of seamless pipe, about 6 to 16 inches (150 to 400 mm) diameter. An batten of animate belief up to two bags is acrimonious to 2,370 °F (1,300 °C) and pierced. The aperture in the alveolate carapace is continued on a rotary elongator, consistent in a abbreviate thick-walled tube accepted as a bloom. An centralized bung about the aforementioned bore as the accomplished bore of the aqueduct is again affected through the bloom. The blossom absolute the bung is again anesthetized amid the rolls of the bung mill. Rotation of the rolls reduces the bank thickness. The tube is rotated through 90° for anniversary canyon through the bung comminute to ensure roundness. The tube is again anesthetized through a addled comminute and abbreviation comminute to alike out the bank array and aftermath the accomplished dimensions. The tube is again cut to breadth afore calefaction treatment, final straightening, inspection, and hydrostatic testing.
*
Arbor Mill
This action is acclimated to accomplish abate sizes of seamless pipe, about 1 to 6 inches (25 to 150 mm) diameter. The batten of animate is acrimonious to 2,370 °F (1,300 °C) and pierced. A arbor is amid into the tube and the accumulation is anesthetized through a rolling (mandrel) mill. Unlike the bung mill, the arbor comminute reduces bank array continuously with a alternation of pairs of arced rollers set at 90° angles to anniversary other. Afterwards reheating, the aqueduct is anesthetized through a multi -stand stretch-reducing comminute to abate the bore to the accomplished diameter. The aqueduct is again cut to breadth afore calefaction treatment, final straightening, inspection, and hydrostatic testing.
*
Extrusion
This action is acclimated for baby bore tubes only. The bar banal is cut to breadth and acrimonious to 2,280 °F (1,250 °C) afore actuality sized and descaled. The batten is again extruded through a animate die. Afterwards extrusion, the final tube ambit and apparent affection are acquired with a multi-stand abbreviation mill.
Electric Attrition Anchored (ERW) and Aerial Abundance Consecration (HFI) Anchored Pipe
Originally this blazon of pipe, which contains a solid appearance base weld, was produced application attrition heating to accomplish the longitudinal bond (ERW), but best aqueduct mills now use aerial abundance consecration heating (HFI) for more good ascendancy and consistency. However, the artefact is still generally referred to as ERW pipe, alike admitting the bond may accept been produced by the HFI process.
The defects that can action in ERW/HFI aqueduct are those associated with band production, such as laminations and defects at the attenuated bond line. Abridgement of admixture due to bereft calefaction and burden is the arch defect, although angle cracks can additionally anatomy due to alteration of non brownish inclusions at the bond interface. Because the bond band is not arresting afterwards trimming, and the attributes of the solid appearance adjustment process, ample lengths of bond with poor admixture can be produced if the adjustment ambit abatement alfresco the set limits. In addition, aboriginal ERW aqueduct was accountable to burden reversals, a botheration that after-effects in abortion in account at a lower accent than that apparent in the pre-service burden test. This botheration is acquired by able advance during the burden analysis authority period, which in the case of aboriginal ERW aqueduct was due to a aggregate of low bond band courage and abridgement of admixture defects.
Preparation of pvc pipes
Polyvinyl chloride is produced by polymerization of the vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), as shown. Since about 57% of its mass is chlorine, creating a given mass of PVC requires less petroleum than many other polymers.[citation needed] However, because PVC also has a much higher density than hydrocarbon polymers, and chlorine production has its own energy requirements, this ends up being of little practical relevance in the production of most solid objects.
The polymerisation of vinyl chloride
By far the most widely used production process is suspension polymerization. In this process, VCM and water are introduced into the polymerization reactor and a polymerization initiator, along with other chemical additives, are added to initiate the polymerization reaction. The contents of the reaction vessel are continually mixed to maintain the suspension and ensure a uniform particle size of the PVC resin. The reaction is exothermic, and thus requires a cooling mechanism to maintain the reactor contents at the appropriate temperature. As the volumes also contract during the reaction (PVC is denser than VCM), water is continually added to the mixture to maintain the suspension.
Once the reaction has run its course, the resulting PVC slurry is degassed and stripped to remove excess VCM (which is recycled into the next batch) then passed though a centrifuge to remove most of the excess water. The slurry is then dried further in a hot air bed and the resulting powder sieved before storage or pelletization. In normal operations, the resulting PVC has a VCM content of less than 1 part per million.
Other production processes, such as micro-suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization, produce PVC with smaller particle sizes (10 μm vs. 120-150 μm for suspension PVC) with slightly different properties and with somewhat different sets of applications.
The product of the polymerization process is unmodified PVC. Before PVC can be made into finished products, it almost always requires conversion into a compound by the incorporation of additives such as heat stabilizers, UV stabilizers, lubricants, plasticizers, processing aids, impact modifiers, thermal modifiers, fillers, flame retardants, biocides, blowing agents and smoke suppressors, and, optionally pigments

Pipes made of Polyvinyl chloride
Polyvinyl chloride, (IUPAC Poly(chloroethanediyl)) commonly abbreviated PVC, is a thermoplastic polymer. It is a vinyl polymer constructed of repeating vinyl groups (ethenyls) having one of their hydrogens replaced with a chloride group.
Polyvinyl chloride is the third most widely produced plastic, after polyethylene and polypropylene.PVC is widely used in construction because it is cheap, durable, and easy to assemble. PVC production is expected to exceed 40 million tons by 2016.[3]
It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates. In this form, it is used in clothing and upholstery, and to make flexible hoses and tubing, flooring, to roofing membranes, and electrical cable insulation. It is also commonly used in figurines and in inflatable products such as waterbeds, pool toys, and inflatable structures.

Pipe for fluid conveyance
A pipe is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow — liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders, masses of small solids. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipe is far stronger per unit weight than solid members.
In common usage the words pipe and tube are usually interchangeable, but in industry and engineering discipline the terms are uniquely defined. Depending on the applicable standard to which it is manufactured, pipe is generally specified by a nominal diameter with a constant outside diameter (OD) and a schedule that defines the thickness. Tube is most often specified by the OD and wall thickness, but may be specified by any two of OD, inside diameter (ID), and wall thickness. Pipe is generally manufactured to one of several international and national industrial standards. While similar standards exist for specific industry application tubing, tube is often made to custom sizes and a broader range of diameters and tolerances. Many industrial and government standards exist for the production of pipe and tubing. The term "tube" is also commonly applied to non-cylindrical sections, i.e., square or rectangular tubing. In general, "pipe" is the more common term in most of the world, whereas "tube" is more widely used in the United States.
Both "pipe" and "tube" imply a level of rigidity and permanence, whereas a hose (or hosepipe) is usually portable and flexible. Pipe assemblies are almost always constructed with the use of fittings such as elbows, tees, and so on, while tube may be formed or bent into custom configurations. For materials that are inflexible, cannot be formed or where construction is governed by codes or standards, tube assemblies are also constructed with the use of tube fittings.

Both "pipe" and "tube" imply a level of rigidity and permanence, whereas a hose (or hosepipe) is usually portable and flexible. Pipe assemblies are almost always constructed with the use of fittings such as elbows, tees, and so on, while tube may be formed or bent into custom configurations. For materials that are inflexible, cannot be formed or where construction is governed by codes or standards, tube assemblies are also constructed with the use of tube fittings.
