To improve the efficiency of piping, recently the pre-fabrication piping system has been introduced, and much attention has been paid to TBPs which can replace Tee-joint. Forming and forming analysis on TBPs made from Carbon steel pipes for pressure service(KS D 3562 Sch40) and Stainless steel pipes(KS D 3576 20S) have been conducted to determine working pressure. Forming and forming analysis objects are $32A{\times}25A$, $40A{\times}25A$, $40A{\times}32A$, $50A{\times}25A$, $50A{\times}32A$, $50A{\times}40A$ TBPs.

Five-path ultrasonic flowmeters (200 and 300 mm diameters) were tested to obtain it's characteristics in a water flow standard system. A five-path ultrasonic flowmeter was installed after various pipe fittings (elbow, valve, tee) or a pump. The distance between flow disturbance source and a flowmeter was main experimental parameter. Without a flow conditioner, a five-path ultrasonic flowmeter shows good characteristics as the distance between flow disturbance source and a flowmeter is longer than 10 diameter of a flowmeter.

Process gas piping is one of the most basic components frequently used in the refinery and petrochemical plants. Many kinds of by-product gas have been used as fuel in the process plants. In some plants, natural gas is additionally introduced and mixed with the byproduct gas for upgrading the fuel. In this case, safety or design margin of the changed piping system of the plant should be re-evaluated based on a proper design code such as ASME or API codes since internal pressure, temperature and gas compositions are different from the original plant design conditions. In this study, series of piping stress analysis were conducted for a process piping used for transporting the mixed gas of the by-product gas and the natural gas from a mixing drum to a knock-out drum in a refinery plant. The analysed piping section had been actually installed in a domestic industry and needed safety audit since the design condition was changed. Pipe locations of the maximum system stress and displacement were determined, which can be candidate inspection and safety monitoring points during the upcoming operation period. For studying the effects of outside air temperature to safety the additional stress analysis were conducted for various temperatures in $0{\sim}30^{\circ}C$. Effects of the friction coefficient between the pipe and support were also investigated showing a proper choice if the friction coefficient is important. The maximum system stresses were occurred mainly at elbow, tee and support locations, which shows the thermal load contributes considerably to the system stress rather than the internal pressure or the gravity loads.

There are two kinds of method on hydraulic calculation of fire sprinkler system design. The one is using the computational program and the other is designer calculate system for oneself. In case of using the computational program, putting the input data in, the program calculate the friction loss, water flow, total height and so forth. If program user or designer doesn't know the basic idea and procedure of hydraulic calculation. Then, the outputs are different from each other. This paper suggests the hydraulic calculation procedure in design area as follow. Equivalent lengths of tees on the branch are selected base on the same pipe diameter which the tees are established, although the diameter of tee outlet is different. Even though there is a different friction loss of head from the other head, the pressure from the hydraulic end is bigger than a head loss, discharge flow is calculated by pressure from the hydraulic end.
