Process piping is a branch of Mechanical engineering which deals with chemical Process, civil layout, Steel and RCC structures, rotating and Static Equipments and piping. Process piping starts with Conceptual formula & Ends with actual piping layout. Process piping is interlinked with varies Disciplines like Chemical, civil, Electrical, Equipment, Structural, firefighting and Instrumentation. Petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, Food and beverages, Cotton, bulk drugs, leather, oil processing, Treatment plants are some examples of Process Industry. In Human Daily Life 80 percent of products are from process industries. In modern days without a process industrial product, Human being can’t proceeds a day. A process piping Engineer can easily perform, Water Distribution, Gas line, Plumbing and Power Industry activities. Process Industry demand is alive till the Human is live on the planet. Engineering diploma /Graduates are suitable for this Industry.
