  • Pipeline - Long series of Pipes usually of large diameter often underground with few fittings & equipment's mostly Pumps & Valves mainly to control the flow that are laid with an intention to transport any fluid whether liquid or gas over long distances.
  • Piping - Large series & networks of Pipes within the well defined boundaries of the plant/plot with all fittings & equipment's like Pump* Valves Unions & other Miscellaneous items with an intention to transfer fluid from one facility to another within those boundaries as required.

The segment of interconnected metallic or non metallic tubulars (Rigid or Flexible) between the two extreme ends of the piping at Boundary limit of a Plants &/or Platforms is simply called a Pipeline.

As per Industry Codes and Standards there is no limitations on the length of a Pipeline or a Piping. I myself had desigend a sub sea Water Injection Pipeline of 500 meters only.
