This document provides information on different types of pipes used in construction projects. It discusses small bore and large bore pipes, defines pipe class, and provides tables with specifications for common pipe materials like galvanized iron, steel, cast iron, copper, plastic, composite, and high density polyethylene pipes. Key details covered include pipe sizes, pressure ratings, applications, advantages and disadvantages of each material type.

3. • What is Small Bore Pipe and Large Bore Pipe?
In the project, you will come across the terms such as small Bore & big bore
or large bore pipe.
• Small Bore Pipe
Pipe Size up to 2” are considered small bore pipe. However, some companies considered up to
2.5″ pipe as a small-bore.
• Large Bore Pipe (Big Bore Pipe)
Pipe Size above 2″ are considered large bore or big bore pipe
• Pipe Length
The length of the pipe is mentioned in either meter or feet. During production, pipes are not
manufactured in the same lengths, and during the construction of the process plants, you
required various lengths of pipes. To address this issue standard has defined pipe lengths in
single random and double random categories.
PIPE DIMENSIONS
4. What is Pipe Class?
Piping class or Pipe Class is a document that specifies the type of the
components such as a type of pipe, schedule, material, flange ratings, branch
types, valve types and valve trim material, gasket, and all the other
components specific requirements to be used for different fluids under
different operating conditions in a plant.
Pipe class is developed considering Operating Pressure, temperature, and
corrosive environment. Different material specifications are segregated in
separate “Piping Class”. Pipe class is part of the Piping specification.
Short code is used to cover all the information applicable to the given pipe
class. This pipe class is also included in the line number so that field
construction engineer can easily identify the material required.
5. 1. GALVANIZED IRON PIPES
• THIS TYPE OF PIPE IS USED FOR WATER SUPPLY WORK INSIDE THE BUILDING. THESE PIPES ARE
WROUGHT STEEL PIPES PROVIDED WITH ZINC COATING.
• APPLICATION AREAS:
• WATER & SEWERAGE.
• FIRE FIGHTING INSTALLATIONS.
• PLUMBING SYSTEMS.
• ADVANTAGES :-
• LOW INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE COST
• LONG LIFE
• TOUGHNESS
• ANTI-RUST PIPES
• USEFUL FOR LARGE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS-DURABLE AND
LARGE DIAMETER
• DISADVANTAGES :-
• HEAVY TO HANDLE.
• DEVELOPS BLOCKAGES.
• DIFFICULT TO REPAIR. GALVANIZED IRON PIPES
TYPES
7. 2. STEEL PIPES
• STEEL PIPES ARE COMPARATIVELY EXPENSIVE.
• BUT THEY ARE THE STRONGEST AND MOST DURABLE OF ALL WATER SUPPLY PIPES.
• THEY CAN WITHSTAND HIGH WATER PRESSURE, COME IN CONVENIENT (LONGER) LENGTHS
THAN MOST OTHER PIPES
ADVANTAGES OF STEEL PIPES
• STEEL PIPES ARE HIGHLY EFFICIENT, AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE A SMALLER DIAMETER OF PIPE
MADE FROM STEEL THAN PIPES MADE FROM OTHER MATERIALS.
• STEEL IS STRONG AND WILL RESIST DAMAGING FACTORS THAT CAN RUIN OTHER PIPES, SUCH AS
TREE ROOTS, HUMAN ERROR, AND EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS.
• UNLIKE PLASTIC PIPES, STEEL PIPES ARE 100 PERCENT RECYCLABLE.
DISADVANTAGES OF STEEL PIPES
• DIFFERENCE OF HEAT TRANSFER: UNLESS FOR BONDED ALUMINUM OR COPPER BASE, THERMAL
CONDUCTIVITY IS VERY POOR
• IT IS OFTEN MORE EXPENSIVE MANY PEOPLE THINK THAT THIS IS A ONE-TIME PURCHASE, WORTH
THE INVESTMENT
USES OF STEEL PIPES
• WATER MAINS
• SEWERAGE SYSTEMS. INDUSTRIAL WATER LINES
• PLANT PIPING.
• DEEP TUBE-WELLS
• CASING PIPES
• PIPE LINES FOR NATURAL

1/2 inch Rs 195/Kg Rs 250/Kg
2 inch Rs 185/Kg Rs 220/Kg
3 inch Rs 195/Kg Rs 220/Kg
9. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
• CAST IRON PIPE IS THE PREFERRED CHOICE FOR HANDLING HIGH PRESSURES AND
LOADS OF WATER.
• HOWEVER, THESE PIPES ARE VERY HEAVY AND IT REQUIRES SPECIFIC MEANS OF
TRANSPORTATIONS.
• THEY ARE CHEAPER IN COST, IT HAS HIGH RESISTANCE TO CORROSION, IT IS
HIGHLY DURABLE.
• IT IS ALSO NOT ADVISABLE TO USE CAST IRON PIPES IN INACCESSIBLE PLACES
• BECAUSE OF THEIR HEAVY LOAD, THESE PIPES ARE MADE IN SHORTER LENGTHS.
THIS EQUATES TO MORE JOINTING AND A MORE COMPLICATED LAYOUT.

11. •BECAUSE OF STEEL’S TENDENCY TO CORRODE OVER TIME, COPPER
PIPES HAVE SUPERSEDED GALVANIZED STEEL AS THE METAL OF CHOICE
DURING THE LAST 70 YEARS. COPPER FACES COMPETITION TODAY
FROM PLASTICS SUCH AS PEX, PVC, AND CPVC, BUT IT STILL REMAINS A
POPULAR CHOICE. WE’LL LOOK AT WHAT MAKES COPPER AN
ATTRACTIVE CHOICE FOR PLUMBING—AND WHY SOMETIMES PLASTIC
IS THE BETTER OPTION
COPPER PIPES ADVANTAGES
• Copper is a naturally corrosion-resistant metal.
• Durable metal (capable of withstanding 1,000 psi of pressure),
copper is also lightweight.
• Easier to extend over long stretches without supports.
DISADVANTAGE
• Copper pipes also encounter problems from water acidity, so they
are not good to install for plumbing systems that draw water from a
well.
• Costs more than plastic.
• Copper is flexible as far as metals go, but plastic pipes can bend to fit
into almost any space necessary.

13. PLASTIC PIPES:
➢THESE PIPES ARE BEEN USED INCREASINGLY FOR SUPPLY OF COLD WATER IN
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PLUMBING WORKS.
14. TYPES OF PVC PIPES:
➢THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF PLASTIC PIPES (i.e.. PVC) WHICH ARE
AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET AS GIVEN BELOW.
➢UNPLASTICIZED PVC PIPES (UPVC) OR RIGID PIPES FOR USE WITH
COLD WATER.
➢PLASTICIZED PVC PIPES WHICH ARE PLASTICIZED WITH ADDITION
OF RUBBER. IT HAS LOWER STRENGHT ABD LOWER WORKING
TEMPERATURE THAN UPVC PIPES.
➢CHLORINATED PVC PIPES (CPVC) PIPES WHICH CAN WITHSTAND
HIGHER TEMPERATURE UPTO 120 DEGREE CELCIUS USUALLY USED
TO SUPPLY HOT WATER.
15. CLASS OF PVC PIPES
CLASS NUMBER OF PVC PIPES DECIDE THE PRESSURE RATING OF A
PIPE; EXAMPLES ARE CLASS 315, CLASS 300, CLASS 125, etc. THIS
PRESSURE CLASS DISTINCTION TELLS YOU THAT THE PIPE IS
DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND NORMAL PRESSURES OF 315 PSI , 215 PSI
, 160 PSI , 125 PSI ETC.
16. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF PVC:
• RIGID PVC PIPES ARE
USED FOR DISTRIBUTION
OF WATER BELOW
TEMPERATURE 45
DEGREE.
• AT HIGHER
TEMPERATURES THE
STRENGTH OF THESE
PIPES DECREASES.
• SIMILARLY ULTRA VOILET
RADIATION FROM THE
SUNLIGHT AND
FREQUENT CHAGES IN
TEMPERATURE
REDUCCES THE LIFE OF
PVC PIPES.
17. ADVANTAGES OF PVC PIPES:
• PRESSURE RESISTANCE.
• LONG TIME DURABILITY.
• PVC PRESSURE PIPES ARE
THEROTICALLY DESIGNED FOR 50
YEARS BUT CAN LAST FOR MORE
THAN 100 YEARS.
• NO MODIFICATION IN THE WATER
QUALITY.
• NO TASTE AND SMELL TRANSFERRED
TO WATER.
• EXCELLENT RESISTANCE TO
BACTERIA GROWTH.
• THE PIPE CANNOT BE
UNJOINED AND MUST BE
CUT.
• GLUED PIPES CAN BE
PRONE TO LEAKING.
• DEGRADES IN SUNLIGHT.

29. These pipes are used for drainage of rainwater from
roofs, soil and waste and for ventilation.
They come in two profiles – one with beading around
socket (WB) and the other without beading around
socket (WOB). The latter type is more common than
the former.
The pipes come in lengths of 3 meters.
The principal defects of these pipes are that they are
heavy and they break easily.
These pipes are cheaper than PVC pipes.

32. Unreinforced pipes of small diameters as
well as reinforced and prestressed
concrete pipes of large diameters are
available for water supply and other
uses.
Small unreinforced concrete pipes are
very much used for drainage of
rainwater.
Large diameter pipes are generally used
for major water supply works.
