There was a trend few years back to buy required Pipes, Fittings, Forgings, Flanges and supports separately and get the Piping fabricated at site. Read the article for more information about latest trends in piping and pre fabricated piping spools.

This has been a trend in Power Projects of buying Piping Spools for various requirements but slowly the idea is catching up and other sectors have also started buying Piping Spools instead of buying Pipes, Fittings and other components separately. There was a trend few years back to buy required Pipes, Fittings, Forgings, Flanges and supports separately and get the Piping fabricated at site. Now the stringent quality requirements, short delivery periods and high operating costs at site has compelled the customers to look for alternative and has resulted into buying Pre-fabricated Piping spools as a package which includes Gaskets and Fasteners also. The other sectors besides Power are Utility, Oil & Gas and even Fertilizer projects who would be buying Piping Spools to reduce project execution time.

Piping spools fabrication is done in two ways one is weldless and other is welded. The raw material for piping spools is Pipes, Fittings, Flanges and Forgings. There is a variety of demands like Carbon steel, Stainless steel and Alloy steel. Piping spool manufacturing requires stringent quality parameters starting from raw material to final welding quality and dimensions. Generally the drawings are given by Client which can be used for manufacturing or reproduced for suitable manufacturing drawings. There is also a guide line for manufacturing like QAP or ITP approved by customer. In certain cases the raw material is supplied by the customers and only fabrication will be the scope of supplier. These Piping Spools also require acid cleaning, shot blasting and painting as per the requirement of the customer.

Piping Spools are generally Hydro-tested at a pressure based on designing pressure and the result ensures quality maintained during welding process. There are other tests like LPT, RT, UT etc. Welding plays important role in achieving required quality; you need qualified welders and equipments. There are also Jacketed Piping and Cladded piping which asks for special skills and can be achieved by experience only.

Companies handling big projects decide on certain requirement of piping to be bought as Pre-fabricated and balance to be fabricated at site. It saves a lot of time for execution because the Pre-fabricated piping received by them is duly inspected before despatch and can be used directly for site fabrication. They also get piping along with required gaskets and fasteners. There is also lose supply of extra pipes to take care of site requirements. A little negative side of this is losing some material at site which can be prevented by proper preservation and monitoring issue of the material. Piping spools is the trend which is going to rule the project executing companies and will bring a revolution in coming days.

There are also the requirements of internal piping requirements of Turbines, Compressors, Generators and other equipments. This requirement is standard and bought directly by manufacturers of equipments. In such cases ISO metric drawings are given by customers who can be used directly for manufacturing. This may have need for some machining, special coating or even special treatment. Standard QAP can be established for such requirements and even an annual rate contract can be agreed and such agreement will help the customer to plan his manufacturing schedule accordingly and reduce the time of manufacturing cycle. This contract can be either for fabrication with material or without material in which customer will provide material on FOC basis.
