Re: INTRODUCTION

The thread in eng-tips refer to piping engineer not piping designer. In our plant (we make ethylene - tons of it) there is a distinction between a piping engineer and a piping designer. And in some grassroot construction that ive been involved with there is even a piping material engineer and a pipe stress analyst in addition to piping designer and piping engineer.

Responsibilities are different - so is the pay.

There is even a book that was published recently related to what a piping material engineer does. Sherwood has detailed how the organization looks like related to the funtioning of the piping group.

the point im making is there are designers and there are engineers.
