Piping Engineer Job Profile:



A piping Engineer is one who gets specialized about the areas where piping is required.
It may be in places such as hospital,hotels,houses,offices or a power plant area. They should know the procedures to work in different kind of environments.We may see a few detailed study about the roles and responsibilities of a piping Engineer .

Responsibilities of piping engineer :


  • Study of process requirements and site conditions to prepare equipment layout and complete pot plan.
  • Co-ordinate with civil and structural engineers to finalize pipe rack, platforms, foundations and other structural requirements.
  • Provide support to all purchase activities and evaluate all vendor documents for technical requirements.
  • Analyze all mechanical data sheets (MDS) and develop required mechanical drawings like nozzle orientations, support clip drawings etc.
  • Preparation piping layout and isometrics adhering to process requirements, erection, operation-ability, maintenance and safety.
  • Preparation of piping material specification (PMS) and valve material specification (VMS).
  • Co-ordinate with structural and equipment departments for handling excess loads.
  • Assisting site construction team for any field raised issue by providing immediate solution.

Job opportunities for a piping engineer :


Certified piping engineers can expect job placements in Shipyards, Engineering design houses, Consultancies, etc. The projects that they can handle can be in the Upstream Oil & Gas sector, Marine sector, Power plants, Chemical plants, Refineries and even In the real estate sector

Generally, industrial piping engineering has three major sub-fields such as :
  • Piping material
  • Piping design
  • Stress analysis

The material with which a pipe is manufactured often forms as the basis for choosing any pipe. Materials that are used for manufacturing pipes include:
  • Carbon steel.
  • ASTM A252 Spec Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 Steel Pile Pipe
  • Plastic piping.
  • Low temperature service carbon steel
  • Nonferrous metals.
  • Nonmetallic.

There are certain standard codes that need to be followed while designing or manufacturing any piping system. Organizations that promulgate piping standards include:
  • ASME - The American Society of Mechanical Engineers- B31 series
  • ASTM - American Society for Testing and Materials.
  • API - American Petroleum Institute.
  • CWB - Canadian Welding Bureau.

Some examples where piping is used :

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
