Today, there is a higher demand for safe, durable and effective high pressure piping solutions than ever before. High pressure piping systems are the backbone of our modern industrial landscape, serving to safely move delivered fluids and gases at very high pressures — from oil & gas refineries to chemical processing plants. At SAB Trading, we provide high pressure piping solutions that meet some of the highest safety standards, have long-lasting durability, and are specifically designed for many industrial applications; particularly, with respect to meeting the compliance of regulatory authorities.
High Pressure Piping Solutions – Part of A System
High pressure piping is not just a thick wall pipe; it is a level of engineering description, including; engineering constraints on materials and the safety scope of compliance. High pressure piping systems are specifically designed to operate under working pressures greater than pipelines as all conventional pipelines have limits to their operation and can only take you so far in a manufacturing facility.
Industrial Sectors That Use High Pressure Piping Solutions
High pressure piping solutions are used for a variety of applications in a multitude of industrial sectors that have a different pathway of operational requirements.
Oil & Gas Sector
They include offshore drilling platforms, onshore refining units, and the oil and gas sector depend upon high pressure piping solutions to transport crude oil, natural gas, and refined products safely.
Also, view our guide to the Oil and Gas Industry Fittings for products where applicable.
Power Generation
High-pressure steam piping lines become an important part of the turbine installation within the power generation cycle in thermal or nuclear power plants. Therefore, reliability of the industrial piping systems that transport the high-pressure steam feed to the turbines is critical as it affects power output and operational safety.
Chemical Processing
Chemical processing plants transport high temperature and corrosive characteristics that require materials to resist mechanical and chemical attack
Mining & Mineral Processing
High pressure slurry pipelines are long distance (sometimes hundreds of kilometers) pipelines that transport abrasive materials, and require robust, erosion resistant piping.
Food & Pharmaceutical Industries
The food and pharmaceutical industry, at least a hygienic part, will still use high pressure piping systems, in some part, for sterilization systems, or cleaning, or transporting, certain pressurized fluids.
The Challenges of High Pressure Piping Design
The process of designing high pressure piping is a challenging project for several reasons.
Operating Conditions
Operating at high pressure and varying temperatures without fail due to the materials.
Corrosion & Erosion
Pipelines can be compromised with time due to chemical attack, or simply the abrasive nature of some flows can erode the piping material.
Codes & Standards
Staying within the bounds of ASME, ASTM, API, and ISO are necessary to meet legal and safety expectations.
Maintenance and Downtime
A failure can be very costly and lead to production stoppage; preventive maintenance is crucial to reduce the risk of failure.
