Piping Selection and Design

The first step in piping selection and design is to understand the customer’s piping needs and route from the power unit to the equipment. In order to prepare the piping layout drawings and the material take-off, we require basic design data such as flow rates, and design pressures. then we establish pipe size and wall thickness based on the recommended velocity of the fluid.

Hydraulic flow diagrams and pipe layout drawing showing the location and equipment and connection ports are essential. If detailed drawings are not available, Tube-Mac®’s fully trained technicians can go on site and consult with the customer, establishing the routing, taking measurements, and developing sketches of the piping.

For complex systems, Tube-Mac® uses 3D scanning services to provide dimensional information of each customer’s equipment and surroundings. Our advanced hardware and software ensures precise and reliable data capture and analysis for the customer’s unique industrial applications.

3D scanning is essential for replicating the existing components, walls, and trenches through which the piping may run, especially when original design data is unavailable. Our 3D scanning services achieve this with exceptional accuracy and efficiency. We can create detailed and accurate digital models to seamlessly integrate into industry-standard CAD software such as Autodesk Inventor.

During design, we develop piping layout drawings and parts lists specifying all components and materials. Then we can ship the materials to the site in a Tube-Mac® workshop container for field fabrication, cutting, bending, and flaring to suit the project. Alternatively, we can use the piping layout and pipe spool drawings, and associated parts lists, to prefabricate all components in our workshops, ship them to the site, and reassemble them on the spot.

Tube-Mac® can include design and manufacturing of pipe supports and steel brackets in our scope to ensure a proper pipe installation. we can also include pipe installation drawings and material lists for prefabricated piping systems upon request.
