Piping Drafting:
Drafting in piping involves creating detailed 2D or 3D drawings (blueprints) based on the design. These drawings communicate how the pipes should be installed and are crucial for construction, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
​
​
Key Drafting Techniques:
-
Isometric Drawings: A 3D representation of the piping system where the dimensions can be viewed at an angle to provide depth perception.
-
Orthographic Drawings: 2D views of the system from the top, side, and front, showing the true dimensions and scale.
-
P&ID (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram): A schematic representation that shows the piping layout along with related instruments like sensors and valves.
-
Spool Drawings: Detailed drawings for pre-fabricated piping spools used in the construction phase.
​
3. Software Used in Piping Design & Drafting:
Several software tools are available to assist in piping design and drafting, helping to ensure precision and streamline workflows.
-
AutoCAD P&ID: For creating detailed P&ID diagrams.
-
AutoCAD Plant 3D: A popular tool for designing 3D piping systems.
-
SmartPlant 3D: Used for more complex plant designs, including piping.
-
CADWorx: For designing, modeling, and drafting.
-
Bentley OpenPlant: A comprehensive software suite for plant design.
-
SolidWorks (for 3D modeling): Widely used for designing components and assemblies.
​
​
4. Codes and Standards:
Piping design and drafting must adhere to various industry codes and standards to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. These can include:
-
ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers): Provides codes like ASME B31.1 (Power Piping) and ASME B31.3 (Process Piping).
-
ANSI (American National Standards Institute): Establishes various standardization processes.
-
ISO (International Organization for Standardization): Offers international standards like ISO 9001 for quality management systems.
-
API (American Petroleum Institute): Offers codes for the oil and gas industry.
​
5. Types of Piping Systems:
There are various types of piping systems, each tailored to the needs of a specific industry:
-
Process Piping: Transporting chemicals or fluids in manufacturing processes.
-
Power Piping: Used in power plants, such as steam lines and cooling systems.
-
HVAC Piping: Used for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
-
Plumbing Systems: For potable water or wastewater.
-
Fuel Gas Piping: For distributing gas in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
​
6. Maintenance and Modifications:
Once the piping system is designed, the drafting and design work continue throughout the lifecycle of the system. Maintenance and modifications may be necessary, especially in dynamic or high-risk environments. As such, good documentation is vital for troubleshooting and modification

EXPERT PROCESS PIPING , SIZING & SCHEDULING SOLUTIONS | DIVYA ENGINEERING
"Divya Engineering specializes in accurate process pipe sizing and scheduling, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency for your industrial projects. Our expert team delivers reliable, customized solutions to meet your specific requirements and project timelines."
​
Piping sizing and scheduling are critical aspects of designing and maintaining pipelines, especially in industries like oil and gas, chemical, power generation, and water treatment. These processes ensure that the pipes used in a system are appropriately sized for the flow rates and pressures required, and that they are capable of handling the materials transported through them
​
Piping Sizing
Piping sizing refers to determining the optimal diameter and material thickness of a pipe to ensure it can handle the intended flow of fluids or gases without excessive pressure loss, flow restrictions, or risk of failure.
​
Piping Scheduling
Piping scheduling refers to the classification of pipes based on their wall thickness, which is often used to determine the strength of the pipe. This is done through a standardized system known as Schedule Numbers.
Schedule Numbers:
The pipe schedule number refers to the pipe's wall thickness. The higher the schedule number, the thicker the wall. This determines the pipe's ability to withstand pressure. For example:
-
Schedule 40: Commonly used for low-pressure systems, like water pipelines or HVAC systems.
-
Schedule 80: Thicker walls for higher pressure systems.
-
Schedule 160: Used in systems with even higher pressure.
​
​
Divya Engineering provides detailed Underground piping system Bill of Materials (BOM) and Material Take-Off (MTO) services, ensuring accurate and cost-effective procurement for your projects. Our solutions streamline the material management process for optimal project efficiency
​
In the context of piping systems, Bill of Materials (BOM) and Material Take-Off (MTO) are crucial documents used in the planning, procurement, and construction phases of a project. Here’s an overview of what they are and how they are related:
​
Piping System
A piping system refers to the network of pipes, valves, fittings, supports, hangers, and other components used to transport fluids or gases in a variety of industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, power plants, and water treatment. Designing and constructing a piping system requires careful planning and accurate documentation to ensure the correct materials are selected and sourced, and that the system operates safely and efficiently.
​
2. Bill of Materials (BOM)
The Bill of Materials (BOM) is a comprehensive list of all the materials and components required for the construction and installation of a piping system. The BOM typically includes:
-
Pipe sizes (diameter, thickness, material type)
-
Pipe lengths and total quantity
-
Fittings (elbows, tees, flanges, reducers, etc.)
-
Valves (types, sizes, materials)
-
Flanges and gaskets
-
Supports, brackets, hangers (and their sizes/materials)
-
Welding materials, etc.
The BOM is used for procurement, cost estimation, and scheduling purposes. It's created from detailed engineering drawings and specifications that define how the system will be constructed and installed.
​
Key Details in a BOM for a Piping System:
-
Item Description: Each component and material is listed in detail.
-
Material Specifications: Type of material (steel, PVC, copper, etc.), grade, and finish.
-
Quantity: How many units are needed for each material.
-
Unit of Measure: Typically in meters, kilograms, or pieces, depending on the item.
-
Manufacturer/Part Number: Specific part numbers or manufacturer details (optional but useful).
-
Cost Information: Estimated cost for each item (optional but often included).
​
3. Material Take-Off (MTO)
The Material Take-Off (MTO) is the process of quantitatively listing all materials and components that are required for a project based on the engineering drawings and specifications. While the BOM is often a more detailed list, the MTO is typically an earlier or intermediate document in the project lifecycle and serves to "take off" materials from the drawings or models.
​
Key Considerations:
-
Accuracy: Both the BOM and MTO should be derived from accurate and final engineering designs to avoid over-ordering or under-ordering materials.
-
Cost Estimation: Having a precise BOM allows for better cost estimation and budgeting. It also enables effective material tracking and inventory control during construction.

​
Piping stress analysis is an essential engineering process used to evaluate the structural integrity and safety of piping systems. This analysis ensures that the pipes, joints, supports, and connections can withstand the forces and environmental conditions they will experience during operation without failure. It’s commonly applied in industries like oil and gas, chemical, power plants, and more.
