Question

What is the permissible limit of longitudinal distance between two successive vertical pipes ?

Answer 1

Piping systems are prevalent throughout our everyday world. Most

of us think of piping systems as underground structures used to

convey liquids of one sort or another. To the novice, the concept

of pipeline installation underground sounds relatively straight

forward: a) dig a trench, b) lay the pipe in the trench, and c) fill the

trench back in.

While this simplified perspective of pipeline construction may be

appealing, it does not begin to address the engineering concepts

involved in the underground installation of a pipeline. This chapter

is written to assist in the development of a comprehensive

understanding of the engineering principles utilized in the

underground installation of PE pipe.
