Every Engineering Design meant to operate its lifetime successfully without/fewer breakdowns.This is possible only by successfully forecasting the kind of loads it's going to expose during its course of operation.While designing a Piping System we have to consider a minimum, the following Loads I) Design Pressure The Design Pressure of Each component in a piping system shall not be less than the pressure at the most severe condition of coincident internal or external pressure and temperature (minimum or maximum) expected during service. The most severe condition is that which results in the greatest required component thickness and the highest component rating. Usually, the following basis is adopted for arriving at design pressure a) Design Pressure of the connecting equipment b) Set pressure of the pressure relief valve connected for the safety of the system c) Discharge pressure of the Pump in the Syste...
