What is a spool and what is its use in piping?
What is a spool?

A spool is a kind of reel in plumbing. Spools tend to corrode easily due to the elements they are exposed to. Water and natural electrolytes when applying spool systems in piping should be done under acceptable supervision and protection. Pipe spool construction is very important because shipbuilding and other marine industries require compact piping. Pipe spools provide many benefits as they reduce space constraints on site.

What is the use of spool in petrochemical piping?

Spool piping systems are mostly used in power plants and oil refineries that require compact piping. be. These systems include fluid and gas transportation, and these transportation systems require many connecting parts. There is no room for error in these systems. Assembly and construction of pipelines must be done correctly. Spooling in the pipeline is produced using raw pipes and pipe fittings. The process of cutting raw pipes with predetermined sizes suitable for pipe fittings and other components is done. There are two parts to the main process of tube spooling:

  • The first part is roll and weld correction
  • The second part of connections and durable position welding

کاربرد اسپول در پایپینگ

The modification of the roll and welding process is the connection of the main pipe by the rolling machine, and the welder does not need to change his position, and also the position of the connection and welding occurs when more than one branch of the long pipe passes the distance limit. To create a more efficient piping system and save time, pipe spool pre-fabrication is used.

Because if the preliminary system is not implemented, the welding of the system takes much more time and the welder is forced to spool the piping to perform Connection or welding move on the main pipe.

Advantages of using spool in piping

1. In controlled environments, it is easier to manage and maintain the quality of work.

2. The specified tolerances prevent rework on the site due to high accuracy.

3. Minimizes production delays.

4. The pre-fabrication process is the best advantage as it provides less labor to fabricate the spools on site.

5. Mass production results in lower production costs compared to site building.

6. Less manufacturing and assembly time is required for prefabricated spools, this method avoids wasted time and additional cost. Prefabricated spools require little investment in production and testing equipment by users.

7. For better and efficient performance, you can use radiography, PMI, MPI, ultrasonic tests, hydro tests, etc. To obtain a lower probability of rework on site, better control of welding parameters can be performed in controlled environments.

8. Unnecessary time delays are avoided.
