In plumbing and residential applications, piping is used to deliver clean water to homes and buildings and to remove wastewater. It typically involves systems of pipes, valves, fittings, and fixtures that work together to provide a reliable water supply and drainage.

Piping refers to the process of connecting or joining different sections of pipes together to facilitate the transportation of fluids, gases, or solids. It plays a crucial role in various industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and plumbing.

In industrial settings, piping systems are more complex and often designed to handle high-pressure fluids or corrosive materials. These systems may include a network of pipes, pumps, compressors, control valves, and other equipment necessary for the safe and efficient transport of substances.
