Pipeline infrastructure plays a crucial role in major process industries like oil and gas, chemical, and power. Mega process plants consist of a vast network of pipeline infrastructure. Pipelines are installed in large processing plants and are used to transport raw materials and processed products. Though certain process industries use short-length pipelines, their overall layout may be complex. The pipelines put into application in these industries are subjected to constant variation in temperature and pressure, along with random vibrations due to pumping. Therefore, designing a pipeline network is one of the most complex operations in pipeline engineering. While designing a pipeline network, various aspects that influence the pipeline operation should be taken into consideration; parameters such as pressure, temperature, pipeline layout in confined spaces, and expansion limits that the pipeline material can endure play a vital role in pipeline engineering.
