Piping How things go wrong

Power plant steam turbine steam pipe
under lube oil pipe.
Hostel drinking water pipe and sewage
pipe too close.
Automobile brake oil leak on alternator.
Pipes running into beams, columns, walls,
Pipe centerline O.K. (?) but insulation fouls
with walls/ceiling.

Lecture summary
Using schematics/P&I diagrams make
piping drawings (routing), to scale,
with material and other specifications
(e.g. standards)
NEXT STEP : Piece-wise design and
manufacture of pipes, joining details,
and their supports,
