1. Pipe system design

The design of a piping system must take many factors into account: the allocated budget, customer requirements, in-house know-how, safety, industry standards and construction codes, but also recycling and industrial property. In addition to these "external" conditions, the fluid transport function of a piping system requires that the network be sized to take account of geometric characteristics, thermomechanical loading, the environment and, last but not least, the materials [1][2] .

There are two aspects to network sizing: flow and sealing. For flow, the minimum internal diameter of each part of the network must be determined to obtain the desired flow rate. At the same time, pressure drop and flow velocity must be kept at reasonable levels. Once the...
