In the design of industrial pressure piping systems, two major regulatory families coexist internationally: ASME B31 (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) and EN 13480 (European standard harmonized with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU). For engineers operating in global industrial environments, understanding the differences and similarities between both codes is not merely an academic exercise: it […]

In the competitive world of industrial engineering, standing out requires mastering specialized skills that bring real value to projects. Stress analysis in piping systems isn’t just another technical competency: it’s the cornerstone that can define the success or failure of entire industrial facilities, and therefore, the differentiating element that can catapult your professional career. What […]

In the design of industrial plant piping interconnection, the proper integration between pieces of equipment is one of the most critical and complex tasks faced by piping engineers. It not only directly impacts operational efficiency, but also has a significant influence on construction, maintenance, and safety costs. The Importance of Piping Interconnection Design in Industrial […]

Designing industrial piping systems is a high-responsibility task that requires advanced knowledge of mechanical engineering, international standards, structural analysis, and critical operating conditions. A mistake at this stage can lead to catastrophic failures, costly project delays, or even legal consequences. In this article, we analyze the five most frequent piping design errors and offer clear […]

Piping engineering is one of the pillars of industrial plant design. Far from being limited to drawing lines on layout drawings, this specialty coordinates a vast network of interdisciplinary interactions, makes key decisions at critical project stages, and represents a significant percentage of both the cost and time commitment in engineering and construction. This guide […]
