Jijoy,
You really need to get your hands on a good piping design handbook and work with good piping designers and piping engineers. Through the time spent on projects and working with these people you will pick up allot of the knowledge you will need for the industry.
Some people on this listing have over 20 years experience in piping design and correspond with each other on the finer points of piping design. Some off lesser experience get to pick up on the e-mails bouncing around and get responses to questions that challenge others and/or offers a chance for others to share their experiences and knowledge.
I hope you can appreciate that if a questions can be answered with a quick search of the web or in the early pages of a piping handbook it will not be well received by members of the forum.
It is an important quality to ask questions. Just do your research first, you may find allot of answers yourself but at a minimum a better understanding of what you are asking.
Enough ranting.

That's a bad example of a comment in an open forum. Even looks a stupid question it is valid for a beginner in piping design business.

Subject: [PipingDesign] PIPE SIZES
I am a beginner in this piping field. And I have a very basic question. Could any one tell me the relation between pipe size and ID. For eg:
If we have 12" pipe the OD is 323.9mm which is same for all the schedules. But I want to know a method to know the thickness. If it is 12" Sch40 the thickness is 10.31mm If it is Sch80 thk is 17.48mm
Is there any way to remember the thickness of pipe for various sizes. Please excuse me if it is a blunder question.
Cheers
Jijoy
