Fundamentals of Pipe used in Oil & Gas Industries. Pipe 101

Piping covers very large part of any process plant. If you look at Oil Exploration platform, Refinery and Petrochemical complex one thing that catches the attention is a complex network of piping. Piping is used to transport various process materials from one equipment to another. But why? Process Plant is a place where a series of activities performed in particular ordered to convert raw material into a useful product and interconnected pipe and pipe components are used to transport raw material, intermediated product and final product to the desired location. Piping components such Pipe, Elbow, Tee, Reducer, caps, flanges, gasket, and Valves are the basic building of Oil & Gas industries. Learn about Fundamentals of Pipes, Manufacturing Methods and Inspection & testing.

To manufactured welded pipe, first plate or coil is rolled in the circular section with the help of plate bending machine or by a roller in the case of continues process. Once the circular section is rolled from the plate, the pipe can be welded with or without filler material. Welded pipe can be manufactured in large size without any upper restriction. Welded pipe with filler material can be used in the manufacturing of long radius bends and elbow. Welded pipes are cheaper with compared to the seamless pipe and also Weak due to the weld joint. • • • • • • www.hardhatengineer.com 4 www.hardhatengineer.com 5 www.hardhatengineer.com 6 • − − • • • • • − − − • • www.hardhatengineer.com 7 − www.hardhatengineer.com 8 − • • • • • • • • − − − • • − − − − − • • • • www.hardhatengineer.com 9 • To watch Video Click on the link − − − − − − • • • www.hardhatengineer.com 10 • • • • • • • − www.hardhatengineer.com 11 − − − − − ⅛ ⅛ www.hardhatengineer.com 12 • − − − − − − − − • • • − − www.hardhatengineer.com 13 www.hardhatengineer.com 14 About Me Varun Patel is an Oil & Gas Professional.
