o It convey the fluids, between the various equipment and end users.
o It consists of various components such as pipes, valves, fittings, online
measuring instruments, etc.
PIPING SYSTEM
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PIPE AND TUBE
PIPE
o It is a tubular product of circular cross section that has specific sizes and
thickness governed by particular dimensional standards.
TUBE
o It is a hollow product having circular, elliptical or square cross section or cross
section of any closed perimeter. Tubes are also used for heat transfer purpose.
4Velmurugan Sivaraman
SEAMLESS PIPE
o A wrought tubular product made without a welded seam by drawing or
extrusion process
WELDED PIPES
o Welded pipes are manufactured by ERW (Electric Resistance Welded).
o Pipes in small quantities are manufactured by EFW (electric fusion -
welding) process .
o The longitudinal seam is welded by manual or automatic electric arc
process.
PIPE PRODUCTS
5Velmurugan Sivaraman
LINE PIPE
o It is mainly used for conveying fluids over long distances and are subjected to
fluid pressure. It is usually not subjected to high temperature.
PRESSURE PIPE
o These are subjected to fluid pressure and /or temperature. Fluid pressure in
generally internal pressure or may be external pressure (e.g. Jacketed piping
)and are mainly used as plant piping.
STRUCTURAL PIPE
o These are not used for conveying fluids and not subjected to fluid pressures or
temperature. They are used as structural components (e.g. handrails, columns,
sleeves etc.) and are subjected to static loads only.
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON END USE
6Velmurugan Sivaraman
o Pipes are designated by nominal size, starting from 1/8” nominal size, and
increasing in steps.
o For the nominal size up to including 12” there is one unique OD (different
from nominal size) and ID would vary depending on schedule number.
o For nominal sizes 14” and above O.D is same as nominal size.
WHY PIPE SIZE IS MORE IMPORTANT
o According to American Survey 30 % of the total cost of a chemical
process plant goes for piping elements and valves. Take optimum pipe
size while designing the pipe size.
NOMINAL PIPE SIZE (NPS)
7Velmurugan Sivaraman
1. Sizes in steps of 1/8” from 1/8”to ½”
2. Sizes in steps of ¼”from ½” to 1 ½”
3. Sizes in steps of ½” from 1 ½” to 4”
4. Sizes in steps of 1” from 4” to 6”
5. Sizes in steps of 2” from 6” to 36”
AVAILABILTY OF PIPE SIZES
8Velmurugan Sivaraman
MILL TOLERANCE
o During manufacturing of seamless pipe while positioning the mandrel,
this can deviate from its center by maximum of ±12.5% Hence minimum
thickness of seamless pipe is considered ±12.5% less from average wall
thickness.
MILL LENGTH
o Also known as random length .The usual run off mill pipe is 16 to 20 Ft. in
length. Line pipe and pipe for power plant used are sometimes made in
double length of 30-35 ft.
WALL THICKNESS TOLERANCE
9Velmurugan Sivaraman
Pipes are designated by schedule number .
Schedule number is represented by the pressure carrying capacity of the
pipe.
Schedule = 1000 P/S where
P = service pressure (psi) - (Internal pressure)
S = allowable stress (psi) - (Allowable tensile strength of material)
Irrespective of pipe dia., equal schedules have equal pressure carrying
capacity. For stainless steels schedule number are designated by suffix S i.e.
5S, 10S, 40S, 80S etc.
For pipes of all dimensions the outside diameter (O.D.) remains relatively constant. The
variation in wall thickness affects only the inside diameters (I.D.). The higher the schedule
number is, the thicker the pipe is.

COMPONENTS OF PIPING SYSTEM
13Velmurugan Sivaraman
o Pipe fittings are the components which tie together pipelines, valves, and
other parts of a piping system.
o Fittings may come in butt Welded, Socket welded, Screwed and flanged
connections.
o They are used to change the size of the line or its direction.

Equal Tee
16Velmurugan Sivaraman
STRAIGHT TEE / EQUAL TEE
It is used when the branch and header are the same.
REDUCING TEE
It is used when the branch size is smaller than the header size.
POINT TO REMEMBER
It is expensive and requires three butt welds. Alternatively for low pressure services
, branching off is done by direct welding of pipe to pipe instead of standard Tee.
TEES
17Velmurugan Sivaraman
They are used to change direction of pipe.
1. LONG RADIUS (LR) AND
2. SHORT RADIUS (SR)ELBOWS.
90 degree elbow comes in LR and SR.
45 degree elbow comes in LR only.
The LR elbows radius is 1.5 times the nominal size. The SR elbows radius is 1 times the
nominal size.
Normally elbows are butt-welded, socket welded or sometimes bolted connections are also
available. Reducing elbows are available on 90 degree only and the radius is 1.5 times of
the larger end
ELBOWS
18Velmurugan Sivaraman
These are fabricated bends for larger
diameter piping, low pressure (50 psi are
less) pressure applications.
It is made out of two, three, four segments
of pipe pieces. These are normally used for
non critical services. (water, drainage, and
wend piping )
MITRE BENDS
19Velmurugan Sivaraman
COUPLINGS
FULL COUPLING
It is used to connect small bore pipes as
projection of welding inside the pipe bore
reduce the flow area
HALF COUPLING

UNIONS
It is used where dismantling of the pipe is
required more often. It can be with
threaded end or socket weld ends.
COUPLINGS & UNIONS
20Velmurugan Sivaraman
It makes reduction in line size
ECCENTRIC REDUCER
It is used to pump suction to avoid cavitation with top
surface being flat.
To maintain elevation bottom of pipe (BOP) in rack.
Offset dimension is ½ the difference of the two inside
diameters. Eccentric reducer are costlier than concentric
reducer. Designer to optimize the requirement
REDUCERS
21Velmurugan Sivaraman
CONCENTRIC REDUCER
It is used on pump discharge, vertical
pipe line etc.

FLANGES
23Velmurugan Sivaraman
FLANGES
Flanges can be classified based on the
attachment to the piping
SLIP ON
These flanges are attached by fillet welding
inside as well as outside. Used where quick
assembly, saving in cost and where extreme
load condition are not present .
SOCKET WELD
These flanges are welded only one side. Is
is used for small bore only.
24Velmurugan Sivaraman
SCREWED
These flanges are used on pipe lines where low pressure
and temperature are envisaged. Generally used in
galvanized lines.
BLIND FLANGE
These flanges are used to close the ends which need to
be reopened later, also used for blanking the dead end
during hydro test.
FLANGES
25Velmurugan Sivaraman
LAP JOINT
These flanges are used with stub ends when piping
is of a exotic material. Stub ends will be butt welded
to the piping and the flanges are keep loose over
the same.
WELDING NECK
These flanges are generally butt welded to the
pipes where excessive direct bending stress on the
flanged joint or supporting heavy equipment are
envisaged.
FLANGES
26Velmurugan Sivaraman
ADVANTAGES
Higher pressure and temperature conditions. Leak proof joints and
almost maintenance free.
DISADVANTAGE
Weld projection will affect flow. Edge preparation is necessary.
BUTT WELDED FITTINGS (ASME B16.9)
27Velmurugan Sivaraman
Flange are also classified by pressure – temperature ratings as per ANSI B
16.5.It is available in seven ratings 150#, 300#, 400#, 600#, 900#, 1500#
and 2500#.These flange rating are called nominal rating. pressure –
temperature combines determines the flange rating.
RATING OF FLANGE
28Velmurugan Sivaraman
FLAT FACE
Normally C I flanges having 125 # has a flat
face. Since no raised face it requires full faced
gasket.
RAISE FACE
Raised face 1/16” for 150 # and 300 #
Raised face ¼” for other series
RING TYPE JOINT
Metallic rings are used in this ring type joint
(RTJ) flanges
CLASSIFICATION OF FLANGES (BASED ON FACING)
29Velmurugan Sivaraman
Normally smooth finish is recommended for metallic gaskets.
Serrated finish are used when non metallic gaskets are used.
SURFACE FINISH ON THE FLANGE
30Velmurugan Sivaraman
ADVANTAGES
Fast production, No need to bevel the edges. Can be
used in lieu of thread fittings. Weldment can not extend
in to the pipe line.
DISADVANTAGE
The 1/16” recess pocket liquid. Use not permitted by code
if severe erosion or crevice corrosion anticipated.
SOCKET WELDED FITTINGS (ASME B16.11)
31Velmurugan Sivaraman
FLANGED FITTINGS
(ASME B16.1 AND B16.5)
ADVANTAGE

32Velmurugan Sivaraman
REINFORCED FITTINGS
33Velmurugan Sivaraman
REINFORCED FITTINGS
WELDOLET
An economical butt -weld branch connection, is
designed to minimize stress concentration and
provide integral reinforcement.
SOCKOLET
Utilizes the basic weldolet design configuration
and incorporates a sockolet -weld outlet.
34Velmurugan Sivaraman
REINFORCED FITTINGS
ELBOWOLET
utilizes the basic weldolet configuration, provides at
branch connection on elbow.
LATROLET
Used for 45 degree lateral connections.
Similarly, elbolet, sweepolet etc are available
35Velmurugan Sivaraman
THERMAL EXPANSION OF PIPE
Each material has its own coefficient of thermal expansion.
If the pipe is of carbon steel or low alloy steel, it will expand at the
rate of 6 to 7mm every meter length as the temperature raises to
500 degree C.
To accommodate the thermal expansion, these joints are provided.
36Velmurugan Sivaraman
EXPANSION JOINTS
Expansion joints are used to accommodate certain degree of linear
expansion and torsional misalignments in the piping system
BELLOW TYPE
Metallic bellows of compatible materials (usually stainless steels) are
used to compensate the thermal expansion. Thickness of bellows
normally 1 to 2mm.
37Velmurugan Sivaraman
EXPANSION LOOPS
Expansion loops are widely used for high temperatures & high
pressures applications. Ideally suitable for longitudinal movements and
certain degree of torsional movement.
TELESCOPIC TYPE
These joints ideally suitable for low temperature & low pressure
application. Suitable only for axial expansion
38Velmurugan Sivaraman
VALVES
valves are installed in between the pipes / equipment to perform
following functions :
Isolation (gate valve, ball valve, butterfly valves etc.)
Regulation (globe valve etc.)
Non return (check valve, SDNR etc.)
Special purpose (foot valve etc.)
39Velmurugan Sivaraman
BALL VALVE
Ball valve is normally used for positive shut off. Operation by a
quarter turn of operating handle. The ball valve offers minimum
resistance to flow. Widely used on onshore/offshore and
petrochemicals.
40Velmurugan Sivaraman
GLOBE VALVE
Due to its globular body, it is called Globe Valve. There is higher
resistance and pressure drop in this valve. Most suitable for throttling
the flow.
41Velmurugan Sivaraman
GATE VALVE
Flow is axial piping. Lower pressure drop. It is not recommended for
throttling the flow.
42Velmurugan Sivaraman
BUTTERFLY VALVE
It is widely used on low pressure application . It may be used to
control and regulate the flow.
43Velmurugan Sivaraman
CHECK VALVE / NON RETURN VALVE
Swing Check Valve
This valve allows flow in one direction only. Return flow will
automatically close the valve, thus preventing flow in reverse direction.
44Velmurugan Sivaraman
TESTING OF PIPING SYSTEM
(AS PER ANSI B 31.3)
Piping system can be tested for leak tightness and pressure integrity
by hydro test / pneumatic test methods.
45Velmurugan Sivaraman
HYDROSTATIC TEST
TEST PRESSURE =(1.5 X Design Pressure X stress value at test temp) /
stress value at design temperature
TEST DURATION
A leak test shall be maintained for at least 10 minutes, and all joints
may be examined for leaks.
TEST MEDIUM
Water at ambient temperature is the test medium. Incase of possibility
of freezing exists, other fluids may be used.
46Velmurugan Sivaraman
PNEUMATIC TEST
TEST PRESSURE
(1.1 x Design Pressure x stress value at test Temperature) / stress value
at design temperature
TEST DURATION
A leak test shall be maintained for at least 10 minutes, and all joints
may be examined for leaks.
TEST MEDIUM
Air at ambient temperature is the test medium.
47Velmurugan Sivaraman
CHECK LIST FOR HYDRO TEST
1. COMPLETION OF WELDING ON PRESSURE PARTS.
2. ALL LONG SEAMS & CIRC. SEAMS ARE MADE VISIBLE FOR
INSPECTION.
3. COMPLETION OF ALL NDT.
4. GASKETS & GASKET SEATINGS ARE CHECKED FOR ANY DAMAGE.
5. EQUIPMENT WHICH IS NOT TO BE TESTED SHALL BE EITHER
DISCONNECTED OR ISOLATED.
5. RAISE THE PRESSURE TILL 50% OF TEST PRESSURE.
6. INCREASE THE PRESSURE IN INCREMENTS OF 10% OF TEST
PRESSURE.
48Velmurugan Sivaraman
CHECK LIST FOR HYDRO TEST
7. STOP PUMPING FOR 5 MINUTES AFTER EACH INCREMENT OF 10%
OF RISE IN PRESSURE.
8. IF ANY LEAKAGE IS OBSERVED THROUGH GASKET CONNECTION,
REPEAT THE TEST AFTER DEPRESSURISING THE SYSTEM.
49Velmurugan Sivaraman
50Velmurugan Sivaraman
FITTING ARRANGMENT
IMPORTANT SAFETY POINTS
• DRAIN THE PIPE ONLY WHEN TOP OUT LET IS KEPT OPEN.
• USE MINIMUM 2 GAUGES FOR ANY HYDROTEST.
• NEVER USE HIGH DISCHARGE PUMPS FOR TESTING LOW
VOLUME PIPE. ( VOLUM LESS THAN 10 M3).
• NEVER PRESSURISE ANY VESSEL ABOVE TEST PRESSURE.

52Velmurugan Sivaraman
REASON FOR CHECKING 1.5 TIMES OF
DESIGN PRESSURE
Normally 66% of yield strength (i.e. 2/3 yield strength) or 1/3 of the
tensile strength which ever is less is taken as a basic Allowable stress
for metals considered for design calculation. when you test the
materials for 1.5 times of the design pressure it is not exceeding 100%
of yield strength of the material. Hence all pipelines are tested for 1.5
times of the design pressure.
2/3 of yield strength is 66 %
1.5 times of 66 % is 99 %
53Velmurugan Sivaraman
REASON FOR 22% ELONGATION ON
STEEL.
Normally 12 % of the ductility required in final product during
manufacturing. 6 to 8 % ductility lost in manufacturing and 2 % is
considered for non - homogenous material.
Hence material selected should have minimum 22% elongation.
54Velmurugan Sivaraman
55Velmurugan Sivaraman
PIPING FABRICATION
• Cutting
• Bending
• Forming
• welding
Cutting and beveling of the edges by Mechanical Methods (lathes,
grinding Wheels / Thermal methods (oxy – fuel gas cutting, Arc
cutting.)
56Velmurugan Sivaraman
PIPING THINNING
Bending results in the thinning of the outer surface (extrados ) and
thickening of the inner surface (intrados ) of the pipe.
It can be approximated by multiplying the thickness of the pipe before
bending by
R/(R+ r)
Where R - Radius of Bend &
r - Pipe radius. ( Half of the O.D )
Ovality
The pipe while being bent assumes a oval shape with the major axis
perpendicular to the plane of the bend
Acceptable normally 8% for internal pressure & 3% for external
pressure.
57Velmurugan Sivaraman
BUCKLING
Bending of pipe with large diameter to thickness ratios often results in
buckling rather than thickening of the intrados even where internal
mandrels are used.
Ratio of the distance between the crest to depth must be equal to or
greater than 12 (A/depth > 12).
Depth = ((OD1)+(OD3))/2 – (OD 2).
58Velmurugan Sivaraman
BENDING
COLD BENDING
Where sufficient quantities of repetitive bends are required, ferrous
pipes and tubes up to NPS 10 or 12 with wall thickness of ½ in or less
are most often bent at ambient temperature using some type of
bending machine.
59Velmurugan Sivaraman
HOT BENDING
Carried out in the temperature range of 1036*c to 1121*c by induction
bending. Where suitable cold bending equipment is unavailable
Pipes of size NPS 3 ½ to NPS 64, radius of 8 to 400 inch and wall
thickness 4” can be bend by Induction Bender .

  • 1. PRESENTATION ON PIPING Compiled & Edited by Velmurugan Sivaraman 1Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 2. TOPICS COVERED 1. Introduction To Piping System 2. Piping Components 3. Testing Of Piping Systems 2Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 3. BLOCK DIAGRAM OF PIPING ENGINEERING Process flow diagram Equipment layout PIPING GENERAL ARRANGEMENT Material takeoff Purchase specification Pipe support GAD Pipe support drawings Installation Isometric drawings Fabrication drawings Piping & instrumentation drawing 3Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 4. o It convey the fluids, between the various equipment and end users. o It consists of various components such as pipes, valves, fittings, online measuring instruments, etc. PIPING SYSTEM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PIPE AND TUBE PIPE o It is a tubular product of circular cross section that has specific sizes and thickness governed by particular dimensional standards. TUBE o It is a hollow product having circular, elliptical or square cross section or cross section of any closed perimeter. Tubes are also used for heat transfer purpose. 4Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 5. SEAMLESS PIPE o A wrought tubular product made without a welded seam by drawing or extrusion process WELDED PIPES o Welded pipes are manufactured by ERW (Electric Resistance Welded). o Pipes in small quantities are manufactured by EFW (electric fusion - welding) process . o The longitudinal seam is welded by manual or automatic electric arc process. PIPE PRODUCTS 5Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 6. LINE PIPE o It is mainly used for conveying fluids over long distances and are subjected to fluid pressure. It is usually not subjected to high temperature. PRESSURE PIPE o These are subjected to fluid pressure and /or temperature. Fluid pressure in generally internal pressure or may be external pressure (e.g. Jacketed piping )and are mainly used as plant piping. STRUCTURAL PIPE o These are not used for conveying fluids and not subjected to fluid pressures or temperature. They are used as structural components (e.g. handrails, columns, sleeves etc.) and are subjected to static loads only. CLASSIFICATION BASED ON END USE 6Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 7. o Pipes are designated by nominal size, starting from 1/8” nominal size, and increasing in steps. o For the nominal size up to including 12” there is one unique OD (different from nominal size) and ID would vary depending on schedule number. o For nominal sizes 14” and above O.D is same as nominal size. WHY PIPE SIZE IS MORE IMPORTANT o According to American Survey 30 % of the total cost of a chemical process plant goes for piping elements and valves. Take optimum pipe size while designing the pipe size. NOMINAL PIPE SIZE (NPS) 7Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 8. 1. Sizes in steps of 1/8” from 1/8”to ½” 2. Sizes in steps of ¼”from ½” to 1 ½” 3. Sizes in steps of ½” from 1 ½” to 4” 4. Sizes in steps of 1” from 4” to 6” 5. Sizes in steps of 2” from 6” to 36” AVAILABILTY OF PIPE SIZES 8Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 9. MILL TOLERANCE o During manufacturing of seamless pipe while positioning the mandrel, this can deviate from its center by maximum of ±12.5% Hence minimum thickness of seamless pipe is considered ±12.5% less from average wall thickness. MILL LENGTH o Also known as random length .The usual run off mill pipe is 16 to 20 Ft. in length. Line pipe and pipe for power plant used are sometimes made in double length of 30-35 ft. WALL THICKNESS TOLERANCE 9Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 10. Pipes are designated by schedule number . Schedule number is represented by the pressure carrying capacity of the pipe. Schedule = 1000 P/S where P = service pressure (psi) - (Internal pressure) S = allowable stress (psi) - (Allowable tensile strength of material) Irrespective of pipe dia., equal schedules have equal pressure carrying capacity. For stainless steels schedule number are designated by suffix S i.e. 5S, 10S, 40S, 80S etc. For pipes of all dimensions the outside diameter (O.D.) remains relatively constant. The variation in wall thickness affects only the inside diameters (I.D.). The higher the schedule number is, the thicker the pipe is. SCHEDULE NUMBER 10Velmurugan Sivaraman

  • 36. THERMAL EXPANSION OF PIPE Each material has its own coefficient of thermal expansion. If the pipe is of carbon steel or low alloy steel, it will expand at the rate of 6 to 7mm every meter length as the temperature raises to 500 degree C. To accommodate the thermal expansion, these joints are provided. 36Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 37. EXPANSION JOINTS Expansion joints are used to accommodate certain degree of linear expansion and torsional misalignments in the piping system BELLOW TYPE Metallic bellows of compatible materials (usually stainless steels) are used to compensate the thermal expansion. Thickness of bellows normally 1 to 2mm. 37Velmurugan Sivaraman

  • 43. BUTTERFLY VALVE It is widely used on low pressure application . It may be used to control and regulate the flow. 43Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 44. CHECK VALVE / NON RETURN VALVE Swing Check Valve This valve allows flow in one direction only. Return flow will automatically close the valve, thus preventing flow in reverse direction. 44Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 45. TESTING OF PIPING SYSTEM (AS PER ANSI B 31.3) Piping system can be tested for leak tightness and pressure integrity by hydro test / pneumatic test methods. 45Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 46. HYDROSTATIC TEST TEST PRESSURE =(1.5 X Design Pressure X stress value at test temp) / stress value at design temperature TEST DURATION A leak test shall be maintained for at least 10 minutes, and all joints may be examined for leaks. TEST MEDIUM Water at ambient temperature is the test medium. Incase of possibility of freezing exists, other fluids may be used. 46Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 47. PNEUMATIC TEST TEST PRESSURE (1.1 x Design Pressure x stress value at test Temperature) / stress value at design temperature TEST DURATION A leak test shall be maintained for at least 10 minutes, and all joints may be examined for leaks. TEST MEDIUM Air at ambient temperature is the test medium. 47Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 48. CHECK LIST FOR HYDRO TEST 1. COMPLETION OF WELDING ON PRESSURE PARTS. 2. ALL LONG SEAMS & CIRC. SEAMS ARE MADE VISIBLE FOR INSPECTION. 3. COMPLETION OF ALL NDT. 4. GASKETS & GASKET SEATINGS ARE CHECKED FOR ANY DAMAGE. 5. EQUIPMENT WHICH IS NOT TO BE TESTED SHALL BE EITHER DISCONNECTED OR ISOLATED. 5. RAISE THE PRESSURE TILL 50% OF TEST PRESSURE. 6. INCREASE THE PRESSURE IN INCREMENTS OF 10% OF TEST PRESSURE. 48Velmurugan Sivaraman

  • 53. REASON FOR CHECKING 1.5 TIMES OF DESIGN PRESSURE Normally 66% of yield strength (i.e. 2/3 yield strength) or 1/3 of the tensile strength which ever is less is taken as a basic Allowable stress for metals considered for design calculation. when you test the materials for 1.5 times of the design pressure it is not exceeding 100% of yield strength of the material. Hence all pipelines are tested for 1.5 times of the design pressure. 2/3 of yield strength is 66 % 1.5 times of 66 % is 99 % 53Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 54. REASON FOR 22% ELONGATION ON STEEL. Normally 12 % of the ductility required in final product during manufacturing. 6 to 8 % ductility lost in manufacturing and 2 % is considered for non - homogenous material. Hence material selected should have minimum 22% elongation. 54Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 55. 55Velmurugan Sivaraman PIPING FABRICATION • Cutting • Bending • Forming • welding Cutting and beveling of the edges by Mechanical Methods (lathes, grinding Wheels / Thermal methods (oxy – fuel gas cutting, Arc cutting.)
  • 56. 56Velmurugan Sivaraman PIPING THINNING Bending results in the thinning of the outer surface (extrados ) and thickening of the inner surface (intrados ) of the pipe. It can be approximated by multiplying the thickness of the pipe before bending by R/(R+ r) Where R - Radius of Bend & r - Pipe radius. ( Half of the O.D )
  • 57. Ovality The pipe while being bent assumes a oval shape with the major axis perpendicular to the plane of the bend Acceptable normally 8% for internal pressure & 3% for external pressure. 57Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 58. BUCKLING Bending of pipe with large diameter to thickness ratios often results in buckling rather than thickening of the intrados even where internal mandrels are used. Ratio of the distance between the crest to depth must be equal to or greater than 12 (A/depth > 12). Depth = ((OD1)+(OD3))/2 – (OD 2). 58Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 59. BENDING COLD BENDING Where sufficient quantities of repetitive bends are required, ferrous pipes and tubes up to NPS 10 or 12 with wall thickness of ½ in or less are most often bent at ambient temperature using some type of bending machine. 59Velmurugan Sivaraman
  • 60. HOT BENDING Carried out in the temperature range of 1036*c to 1121*c by induction bending. Where suitable cold bending equipment is unavailable Pipes of size NPS 3 ½ to NPS 64, radius of 8 to 400 inch and wall thickness 4” can be bend by Induction Bender . 60Velmurugan Sivaraman
