Currently, numerous global machinery and equipment manufacturing companies are based in Malaysia to complement the local machinery and equipment companies, while other Malaysian oil and gas companies focus on strategic segments such as marine, drilling, engineering, fabrication, offshore installations and operations and maintenance. This module discusses the process of installing piping systems for the oil and gas industry. The process of fittings in the piping system is connecting pipes that are suitable in terms of size or shape for the purpose of controlling or calculating fluid flows.
