Safety is a continuous effort in any workplace, especially throughout plants in various industries. The fluid systems that transport and contain these high-pressure, high-temperature liquids and gases, highly depends on quality product, and the quality of work when installing the product.


Safety First Topic:



Simplify the Design

Before any project is started, it begins with the design. The simpler the design, the fewer opportunities for failure. Fewer connection points can also simplify your maintenance and upkeep procedures. Fabricating assemblies to your exact specification and requirement means exhausting your companies time and resources. When considering your design, keep in mind:

  • Utilizing bendable tubing instead of piping runs with several pipe connections, can dramatically reduce potential of leakage.
  • Never block controls, panels, or screens with tubing lines – always route around instrumentation to avoid prohibiting operator/maintenance access.
  • For multiple runs, tube fittings should be staggered to make them easy to access.
