Active Piping Knowledge.

  Introduction Welcome to Piping Knowledge! In this video, we will explore different types of pipe welds . Pipe welding is the process of joining pipes, fittings, flanges, or valves to create a functional piping system. This is a fundamental aspect of pipe fabrication . Before diving into the types of welds, let’s understand the piping system installation process, which typically follows fabrication. Piping System Installation Installation Methods: Shop Fabricated and Field Installed: Piping components are welded into spools in a controlled shop environment. Spools are transported to the site for assembly. Field Fabricated and Installed: Pipes are fabricated and installed directly at the job site. Common Practices: Butt-welded piping is typically used for NPS 2” and above. Shop fabrication minimizes field welding, which is costlier and more time-consuming. Prefabricated piping systems ca...
