A pipe spool is a prefabricated, smaller segment of piping that is assembled and tested in a workshop before being delivered to the construction site for installation. Structural steels or other accessories are the same.
It typically includes the pipe itself along with any necessary fittings, flanges, and other components. Pipe spools are commonly used in industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and construction where complex piping systems are required.
Fabrication involves a series of cutting, beveling, welding, painting, coating, lining, and other processes in the fabrication shop or offsite facility. Once the piping spools, structural steel or any other equipment are produced, they are taken to the construction site and installed.
