Piping Design Engineer

Yes i am interested.

From AKPG Pune

anyone interested, please join the group

...great, I'll join!

Of course I'm

Piping design engineering is composed from :

1. Process design related to pipe sizing, pressure drop, flow rate, type of fluid, ...etc.

2. Mechanical desisgn related to design drawings, design calculations (according to international codes), selecting of proper piping materials for pipes, fittings, flanges, ...etc., supports, pressure releaving devices, stress analysis, ... etc.

3. Fabrication (welding, preheating & PWHT), erection, inspection, ... etc.

Which branch you are interest in?

piping design engineering is all of the above and more, therefore anything that is required of a piper to complete his/her part of the project is what I am interested in discussing, questioning and learning. I have over 33 years piping design engineering experience and am still consulting. I look forward to our future forum comments.

tks!

Yes, I will join. I am a manufacturer of Metal Bellows Expansion Joints and do a lot of Piping Design ourselves.

HI,

This is manoj Kumar from Delhi, working for SIEMENS ad Piping Engineer.

Its very nice that ur palnning for group for piping engineers, thanks for that nice taught.Please include me.

My mail ID:p-manoj.Kumar@siemens.com

please consider this your invitation to join the piping design engineering user group.

Don't forget to go to the home page and join CR4

Count me in too. Used to work as a Design Engineer for Komatsu UK for just over 2 years. Part of this time was spent on the design and calculations for the hydraulic piping and hose arrangements.

Now work as a Deisgn Engineer for Draeger UK Ltd which specialises in Pneumatics for breathing air (BA) apparatus.

What is scope and where this group will be located? Please, give some more explanations.

Thanks.

This forum will be located here, on the CR4 website. We will encourage users to ask questions, share knowledge, learn from others. All piping design engineers and those interested are welcome to join into the forum.

I would love to join your group i was working on board submarines.

Yes i am interested.

Sincerely,

i don't have any idea about pipe designing. but i'm very much interested in learning by joining the group.

thanks...

Great idea, Always looking for new ideas. I would join.

Based on the overwhelming response, we've added a Piping Design Engineering type to the Engineering Fields User Group. All registered members of CR4 are welcome to join Piping Design Engineering or any other User Group.

If you have an image that you think conveys "Piping Design Engineering", send it our way and feel free to suggest any other user group that you'd like to see.

Best Wishes and thanks for the suggestion alegvold!

thank you so much for the new forum/users group. There are a lot of us Piping Design Engineers out there and we need all the help we can get!

One thing, though. User groups are not forums. We're just beginning to roll out the user group concept and for the time being they're simply affinity groups. In the future we'll likely add forum and blogging capability, but for now the user groups serve to allow members of the CR4 community to identify themselves and find like-minded or like-focused individuals; and to identify themselves to the community as members/knowledgeable about a specific discipline, product or area.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I never was sure of the diff. It's great to have a 'user group' for piping design engineers!

I have noticed that you can only register yourself with one user group. As I am mainly involved with Mechanical and Design Engineering I have registered with the Mechanical group. I am quite interested in keeping in touch with the piping design side of things too. Any possibilities of being able to subscribe to two or more user groups in the future?

don't know, let's see if Chris Leonard, the chief editor, has any suggestions or hints on how to do multiples.

Hi Folks

Per Chris's request I just changed the Engineering Fields user group so you can now pick more than one field. (At some point we'll split the individual "fields" up into separate groups to make them more distinct from each other.)

Also, to the folks in this thread who expressed some interest, you can use this link to join. (Any existing member can send out personalized invitations too... poke around a little and you'll see how.)

As Chris probably mentioned, feel free to use any of the existing forums to ask questions or talk about this subject.

FYI

I hate the icon that someone put on for piping design engineers. We don't do plumbing, we do refineries, petrochem, pharm, chem, process, utilities, etc. Not plumbing. I believe plumbing falls under building facilities, or something. Maybe someone has a more appropriate icon? Please?

Hi

Yeah, that was me.... I didn't think it was right either but I having a hard time finding a good picture of pipes that I can clean up to be visible at the size of an icon. I'll give it another shot...

Mark

what exactly do you need? I have lots of pics of beautiful piping 'stuff'. You know, refineries, etc. Would they work?

First, I hope the current badge is a little better.

As far as getting better images goes, imagine something smaller than a postage stamp, and that's about the level of detail we can handle. So, the best images are ones are well-lit with easy-to-remove backgrounds. (I remove the background to make the images "float" on the page... I do it in photoshop and it's not too hard if the background/stuff to remove isn't too busy.)

A picture of a refinery might work but it will look be really small, so the fact that it is a refinery might get lost. For my taste I like to think of the badge images as something that you might see or use every day as part of this job... maybe there is tool you use all of the time or a cool looking knot of pipes & gauges that just yells out "Piping!".

Anyway, feel free to send me images to the cr4admin@globalspec.com email address and I'll see what I can do. (If you have the images on the web somewhere, like www.flickr.com, I can look at them that way too.)

Thanks, Mark

k, i'll work on it. meanwhile, is there a way the use both my home and work email addresses? I only work 3 days a week, home email is

guess i shouldn't put my home email on here?

alegvoid,

i am interested to join the group. thanks for opening up the subject.

I am on board too!

Yes,

I am intrested in joining your group.As i am working in the Reliance Energy and in current project i was handelling the Piping package it is great working on the Piping package.Initially i was not that much familier with the Piping only basic knowledge was there and know i think as you are making the group there is alot of knowledge tranfer will be there.Thanks for making such type of group.

hi

i wud like 2 know wat this user group is exactly aimed at. this is important as keeping it open as a general group may divert users 2 other topics also.

i wud love 2 participate & share views on piping design as a mech engg. i m interested

yes I am in.
