Role of Piping Engineer a) Design b) Construction c) Commissioning 4) Operation / Production 2, Responsibilities of Pipiny Engireer a) Piping Engineer is responsible for a substantial part of total project cost. ») Economic and accurate design ©) Co-ordination with other department. d) Meet requirement of compact completion period ) Co-ordination with site. f) Modification due to site conditions. g) Must be adequate to meet the process specification and physical conditions in which the plant is to operate. h) Adequate design must be achieve at an economic cost within the project budget, i) Clear, consistent and reliable data. })._ Standardization of engineering design methods, k) Maximum use of standards. 3. What Piping Engineer should know about? Piping engineer requires not only wide enginecring knowledge not riczessarily in depth, but certainly in understanding but he. must also have an understanding of engineering economies and costs, of metallurgy, ‘of methods of pipe fabrication and erection. He must have some knowledge of mechanical, civil, electrical and instrument engineering so as to discuss requirements and problems with specialists in these fields. This will be more clear with the data piping department requires from other disciplines as given an Annexure A. He should be co-operative, lead or take part in teamwork, be alive to the application of new methods, materials and designs. He must be aware of standards, codes and practices. There are several aspects of engineering technology, which the piping engineer must know something about ~ least sufficiently to discuss rationally, any particular subject with specialists concerned. More impcrtantly, he must have sufficient broad knowledge to know that certain conditions can arise at the-early stages of Plant design, where lack of awareness can cause difficulties and even disasters. A fairly knowledge of structural engineering is a most. Piping in operation is always in movement and subjected to pressures and forces with consequent reactions on mechanisms such as pumps, compressors ‘and equipment in general, and on structures and related piping. Lack of knowledge can cause errors sufficient to cause machine or equipment breakdown or to overstress and even cause collapse of structures. ‘A.good knowledge of safety codes and practices is also essential. Above all, a piping engineer should be very well conversant with drafting procedures and practices.
