Piping Systems - Overview

This section of the Handbook covers Piping Systems in PEI:

• Overview of Piping Systems.

• A guide on Managing Piping - Pipe vs Piping System.

• Creating Piping System FLOCs, Equipment, and Managing Piping Systems.

Piping Systems are a type of FLOC/Equipment that is used to group together pieces of Pipe and related Equipment in much the same way that Corrosion Loops are used to group together piping and Equipment subjected to the same degradation mechanisms.

Piping Systems have the advantage of reducing the number of Inspection Schedules, Work Orders and require fewer Circuits and Corrosion Schedules compared to managing Pipe at a pipe tag level.
