IRVING, TX - The Plastics Pipe Institute, Inc. (PPI) today announced it has released a new, free, online software tool that aids in designing plastic pressure pipe systems using PEX, PE-RT and CPVC.

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Piping systems are often not self-supporting because of routing, length, and weight factors. Weight loads include the weights of pipes, ...

Modern hydronic heating systems have evolved in complexity over the last few decades; no doubt we’ll continue to refine and improve upon them. With this evolution, the need for proper piping design ...

Picking up where I left off in May, when I touched on designing sheet metal distribution, this month I am going to hit the high points of engineering a pipe distribution system with thoughts on closed ...

The ES Pipe Waterwheel, designed by Korean innovator Ryan Jongwoo Choi, is a simple plumbing accessory that turns simple workaday activities—running a bath, washing your hands, hosing off the dog—into ...

For a yet-to-be-selected fabricator, design large-diameter, corrosion-resistant, filament-wound composite pipe with sufficient strength to resist burial and settlement loads as well as internal ...

This five-day foundation level course for engineers and piping system designers reviews the key areas associated with the design of piping systems for oil and gas facilities. The course is focused on ...

Pipe supports are basically of two types: primary and secondary. Primary Support: In primary type, the support is attached directly to the pipe. Secondary Support: In secondary type, the support is ...

Pipe and tubing are used when rigid lines are preferred. No matter which conductor is used, certain requirements must be met. The line must be large enough to carry the flow required, and it must be ...
