Laboratory Plumbing System Design
Plumbing systems are critical to proper functioning of a laboratory facility. Compared to a normal household, office, or a manufacturing facility plumbing, the design and safety needs of a laboratory plumbing are significantly higher and stringent.
The laboratory plumbing design must satisfy the stringent local, national, and international rules and regulations depending on the geography and the industry. Broadly, the design must factor in the:
- Codes related to health and sanitation,
- Standards relating to the dimensional and design of plumbing components like valves, joints, and fittings,
- Environmental protection and workers safety.
In this blog, let’s look at the key components of laboratory plumbing systems, which need to be factored in during the design and planning phase.
| Component | Key Design Elements |
|---|---|
| Water systems |
|
| Compressed gas systems |
|
| Drainage systems |
|
| Vacuum-air systems |
|
| Life-safety systems |
