piping data
(OP)
i want details abt pneumatic piping , sizing data,selection of pipe with regard to pressure and flow ,
and i also want to know what is the right way of piping layout.
and i also want to know what is the right way of piping layout.





RE: piping data
Do you know the pressure, temperature and flowrate proposed? Is the process fluid compressed air?
Essentially, the "right way" for piping layout is to get from point A to point B as efficiently as possible, keeping in mind available piping support locations, accessibility of valving for operation and maintenance, pipe flexibility, obstruction considerations and other factors. For a good general overview of piping design, try the following books (all of which are listed at my site):
-Process Plant Layout and Piping Design
-The Piping Guide: For the Design and Drafting of Industrial Piping Systems
-Piping Handbook
I also suggest you contact a local mechanical engineer for advice.
You can take a look at my website for more information, under the pull-down menu section "Compressors" and in the software section, there are links there for free downloadable pipe sizing software. Have you posted your question to newsgroups:sci.engr.mech?
