A ship's machinery space contains hundreds of metres of piping and fittings.


The various systems are arranged to carry many different liquids at various
temperatures and pressures. The influences of operational and safety
requirements, as well as legislation, result in somewhat complicated
arrangements of what are a few basic fittings. Valves, strainers, branch pipes,
etc., are examples of fittings which are found in a pipe system.
Spooling
 Piping account up to 23% of cost of material and is therefore a major
component.
Pipes and all elbow joints are purchased form external vendors based on
requirements.
 Cu-Ni and other steel pipes are stored separately to avoid chemical
reactions.

 Pipes and all elbow joints are purchased form external vendors based on

 Referring to the design drawings, pipes (called spools) are cut into the
required sizes. A band saw machine is used to cut these spools. A
coolant continuously flows on the spool at the location it is being cut to
prevent heating during the cutting process. A plasma cutting machine is
also available for cutting the spools.
 Spools are bent based on requirement. The bending is done by a
machine while the angle of bend required is set by an operator
manually.
 Edge preparation is then done i.e. a bevel cut is given at the end of the
pipe wherever required. These pipes are initially tack welded to keep
them aligned and intact before final welding is done. Pipe coupling is
done with a flange or a sleeve in general.
 After the spools have been fabricated, and flanges welded, radiography
test is done to check for weld defects. Visual test is also done by the
quality control team and small lengths are subjected to hydro pressure
test with the test pressure being 1.5 times the operation pressure.
 Upon completion of all these tests, the pipes are sent for treatment like
galvanization outside the shipyard.
 After treatment, the pipes are sent to the palletisation yard where they
are stored. These pipes are then installed during the pre-outfitting stage
and later stages of production.

Band saw machine


 To cut pipes of small diameter. Up to 250 NB for mild steel
 Uses water and chemical as cooling material. Shared-B water
 The blade material used is ASTM A106.
Pipe bending machine
 65 CNC3X - can be used be up to 180 degrees.
Plasma cutting
 Pipes of diameter larger than 250 NB(nominal bore) of mild steel are cut
here.
 Pneumatic controlled rollers are used to roll the pipe as it gets cut.
