Marine Piping Basics
China Lake Fleet Help Desk

<<Piping systems are the arteries which carry the various "lifebloods" of
the ship. Since the flow of fluid through these piping systems must be regulated and monitored, various types of valves are used to control the direction, flow rate, and pressure of fluids flowing through the various piping systems on board the ship. Pressure gauges and thermometers are used to monitor the operation of these piping systems. In order to maintain valves, gauges, and piping systems in their optimum operating condition, various maintenance systems are also needed.>>
