In the number system in the Hardy Cross Method, you should assign complete numbers of the entire system.

To determine the flow in the Hardy Cross Method, you should create a skeleton drawing of network.

To number loops in the Hardy Cross Method, you should number all loops in the sequence in arbitrary fashion.

The Hardy Cross Method determines flow inside the piping network.

Branching pipes are pipes that do not run parallel or in series.

The goal in head loss calculation is to economically transport fluid.

Two-pipe systems are said to be equivalent when same head loss produces the same discharge in both systems.

Power piping systems refer to piping within facility intended to generate electricity.

Power piping systems are intended to convey steam and water.

Series piping has the same fluid flowing through all the piping and head losses are cumulative.

A service system provides cooling water to plant’s component, heat exchangers, and other required service areas by plant.

Process piping systems refers to piping within chemical/petroleum processing unit.

Process piping systems intend to convey petroleum, raw, intermediate, and finished chemicals, gas, steam, air and water, fluidized solids, refrigerants, and cryogenic fluids.

The two main purposes of water distribution are to supply sufficient quantity of water to all parts of system and to maintain adequate pressure at all times and in all conditions.

A condenser system circulates water to condense steam exhausted by turbines in plants.

Distribution mains carry material from transmission lines and distribute to service area.

The in-plant utility’s common industrial use is the condenser-circulating system and service cooling water systems.

Services lines use small diameter pipes that run from distribution mains to user.

Transmission lines carry water from the main source to the distribution system.

The four general types of water distribution are transmission lines, in-plant utility, service lines, and distribution mains.
