Piping

Anatomy of a Groove

A groove is rolled or cut into the end of the pipe to engage the couplings, whereupon the gaskets seal on the outside diameter of the pipe between the grooves. The sealing action is enhanced as the couplings are tightened by line-operating pressure or vacuum. Click here to see an animation of a grooved joint assembly.

What began as simply a faster, easier and more economical way of joining pipe has evolved into a whole new approach to solving piping problems — a total "systems" approach. Today, Victaulic offers complete, start-to-finish solutions that anticipate a project’s every need.

ithin 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.[1][2] Industrial process piping (and accompanying in-line components) can be manufactured from wood, 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. Piping systems are documented in Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams. If necessary, pipes can be cleaned by the tube cleaning process. 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 titanium, chrome-moly and various other steel alloys.

Within installations, hydrogen piping is a system of pipes used to convey

hydrogen from one location to another. For low pressure <275 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psig" title="Psig" class="mw-redirect">psig and high pressure (276 to 7000 psig) high purity hydrogen piping stainless steel 303, 304, 316 tubing, piping, fittings and components are preferred. Maximum composite

hardness of pores and solid materials is 80 rb.

Composite pipes are assessed like: carbon fiber structure with fiberglass overlay [1].perfluoroalkoxy (PFA, MFA).fluorinated ethylene propylene[2].(FEP)Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (FRP)
