Pipe is used to flow fluid either in liquid or gas from one point to other point. Piping system consist of combination pipes which have relatively short total length and used to flow fluid from an equipment to other equipment which operates on a plant. Piping system is also equipped with components such as valves, flanges, bends, branches, nozzles, reducers, support and so on.
Piping has differences with the pipeline among others of their function, location of use and the total length. In the explanation above, piping is used to flow fluid between equipment which operate in a plant while pipeline has more function as a transmission and distribute fluid from one region to other region.
