This article will help to determine a few other distinctions between piping and pipeline systems in general: ASME B 31.3/ASME B 31.1 is concerned with piping engineering, while ASME B 31.4/ASME B 31.8 is associated with pipeline engineering. Fluids are transmitted using both piping and pipelines.

As a result, stress and material engineers are required for both piping and pipelines. Piping materials, piping expansion, stress, and support matter for both.

Both piping and pipeline evolved from mechanical engineering and frequently perform the same functions.
