in engineering •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello Stemians..
at this time I will discuss about the piping system or the water flow in piping systems of residential buildings. In the last week I wrote about the hot water supply system planning on buildings. So to be more clear about the science of plumbing systems in buildings, especially in terms of the drains in buildings. So at this time I would like to discuss about the piping system.

Piping system is a system to drain the water to where it is needed. For this system There are two ways in which water management system with a horizontal system and also with vertical systems.
Okay .. I will discuss both these ways as well as other systems that are about the plumbing system or water flow systems in buildings existing buildings around us. First we must recognize that water is needed by humans, which means water is as the most important need for human beings. And also plan the piping system in the building becomes an important thing in the perfection of the building and also convenient for residents of the building, if planning plumbing system is planned as well as possible.


How to System Horizontal And Vertical Piping Systems


Horizontal Systems
Horizontal system is a piping system that is often used to channel water needs in residential homes or in non terraced housing complexes. And also there are two ways in terms of the use of horizontal piping systems, as follows:

  • The piping leads to an end point
    The advantages of this system is a more efficient use of materials and for the loss is the transmit power on the water tap point is not equal. The farther the place the smaller the transmit power.

  • Circular piping or ring forming
    This piping uses a lot of pipe material, whereas for the power of water transmit power to all points will produce the same water point.

Vertical Systems
Water drainage system with vertical systems are often used in the construction of high-rise buildings, such as hotels, apartment, hospitals and office buildings crate. On the drainage system with vertical system is a way to save or accommodate the water first on the water tank (ground reservoir) made of concrete with capacity in accordance with the water requirements of the building.

After that the water flowed by using the pump to go directly to the point point of the tap required. With the use of this system is more favorable to the use of the pipeline, there is also a shortage in the case of a problem when the power source for the pump goes out. And there are other ways to approach that uses a pump to be forwarded to the tank at the top of the building, Then from the tank flows to the places that need, using a gravity system or derived directly. At a certain place where less than 9 m from the tank is used an additional tool to strengthen the water jets, for example using a pump press.

The use of water tanks in buildings. The water tank is a reservoir of water is placed on top of buildings. Thus it is highly recommended that the tank is made of a lightweight material or not a concrete material. Such as fiberglass or steel plate consisting of plate components arranged in such a way, so as to form the box according to the desired size.


Conclusion


Planning of plumbing system is very important in development, this is because it involves the comfort of occupants in the building, moreover vertical building like building hotels, apartments. Planning the piping should be planned as well as possible in the planning. Because the plumbing system concerns the problem of channeling water systems in buildings.
