2.1. Piping
Industrial piping comes in a variety of shapes, designs, and
metals to safely contain and transport chemicals.
The engineering designer carefully selects the types of
materials that are compatible with the chemicals and
operational conditions.
Piping can be composed of stainless steel, carbon steel, iron,
plastic, or specialty metals.
The various types of fittings include
couplings, unions, elbows, tees,
nipples, plugs, caps, and bushings.
2.3. Valves
Valves are used to stop, start, restrict (throttle), or direct the
flow of fluids.
A globe valve places a
movable metal disc in the
path of a process flow.
Ball valves take their
name from the ball-
shaped, movable element
in the center of the valve.
A gate valve places a
movable gate in the path
of a process flow in a
