This document provides an overview of piping systems and components. It discusses that piping is used to convey liquids, gases, or materials through a tubular system. Key piping components include pipes, fittings, flanges, valves, and strainers. Common piping materials include carbon steel, alloy steels, and stainless steels. The document also discusses piping design considerations like material selection, insulation, supports, flexibility analysis, and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). Piping stress analysis is conducted to ensure stresses from pressures, temperatures, and other loads do not exceed design limits.
