Tight-lining?

Im sure this is probably a pretty easy question for you guys. But what does it mean when somebody uses the phrase "tight-lining" in the piping industry?

RE: Tight-lining?
I do instrumentation so my explanation could be completely bogus. See the Slack Line Flow thread in Petroleum Production. Let's pump crude through line NPS 36 from a valley over a 14,000 foot mountain range to the coast. The inertia of the crude flowing down the mountain can pull apart or flash with segment of non liquid full piping. This is a slack line. A tight line maintains control over the flow to maintain a liquid full pipe or tight line.
