Type of Piping Systems in Piping Design

Piping systems are categorized based on design temperature and pressure, with critical systems handling temperatures over 400 degrees C or pressures over class 900. They also include main steam, reheat, and boiler feed water piping. Piping is also classified as small bore under 65NB or large bore 65NB and up. Stress analysis is required for high pressure piping over 120 degrees C. Loads on piping include dead weight, wind, seismic, thermal expansion, and test loads. Steam piping is especially critical due to high temperature and pressure as well as additional loads from insulation, water hammer, relief valves, and surging.

Stress Analysis To be carried out:
High Pressure and above 120 deg C either LB or SB
SB above 120 deg C
Loads on Piping System

Dead load
Weight of the pipe.
Weight of fittings.
Weight of valves and other inline components like strainers, etc.
Weight of insulation.
Weight of fluid flowing inside
Wind load
Seismic load
Hydro Test Loads
Load Due to Thermal Expansion
WHAT MAKES STEAM PIPING CRITICAL
High Temperature and High Pressure of the Steam
Additional Loads on a Steam Line:-
Increased dead load due to higher insulation.
Thermal loads.
Loads due to the phenomena of water hammer/steam hammer.
Relief valve discharge.
Loads due to phenomena of surging.
