What is piping?

In simple terms, piping is what connects various equipment and tanks so that fluids can flow through them from one place to another and make an engineering process complete its function - in every plant or ship or refinery. Same in the case of our homes too. Even inside a mechanical equipment, small pipes or tubing help carry out this function. Thus piping is something that is needed in almost all engineering installations.

Why learn piping engineering?

In a typically large engineering project like a petroleum refinery, or a chemical plant, or a marine project, piping engineering accounts for nearly 50% of the total design engineering volume. The field labour cost for piping is also about 50% of the total project labour cost. Thus piping engineering is a vital part of almost all engineering projects executed anywhere in the world.

What do you gain?

Knowledge in such an essential discipline of the industry gives you an edge over other candidates in a job interview. Recruiting companies prefer candidates who need minimal or no training after joining. In today’s world where the supply of engineers far outweigh the demand in the industry, it is crucial to be a step ahead and stand out, to be successful in interviews.

And so…….

The Piping Institute was founded with the aim of imparting quality piping engineering knowledge to young engineers.

It is a known fact that a big gap exists between what engineers learn from universities and what is practised in the industry by the experts. Because of this, an engineer joining the industry has to be trained for months before he or she can actually start contributing to the industry. Our institute is an attempt to bridge this gap.

If the engineer is trained well in piping engineering before joining the industry - from the fundamentals to the advanced techniques - then he / she is ready to to hit the ground running. This saves a lot of time, effort and cost to the industry and more importantly reduces the pressure on youngsters to adapt to the industry as they are well prepared to start out on their professional careers.
