piping data 1

[pneucare]

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

Your question is very general.<br>
<br>
Do you know the pressure, temperature and flowrate proposed? Is the process fluid compressed air?<br>
<br>
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):<br>
<br>
-Process Plant Layout and Piping Design<br>
-The Piping Guide: For the Design and Drafting of Industrial Piping Systems<br>
-Piping Handbook<br>
<br>
I also suggest you contact a local mechanical engineer for advice.<br>
<br>
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?<br>
