A spool is an assembly of pipe and associated components that can be pre-fabricated in the workshop for future installation and then shipped to site for assembling. A pipe spool drawing acts as a guide to Pipe fitters, plumbers, fitters & install teams to understand what they are encountering. A pipe is split into different sections, called spools.
Piping & spooling can be manufactured in a number of different materials depending on the application including Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, HDPE, Alloys and PVC. Where piping needs to fit within a specific area and there is no tolerance to expand and contract, steel piping including; Stainless Steel Piping, Rubber Lined Pipe spools, mild steel spooling & carbon steel piping are common items in many process plants. Where piping can expand and contract even ever so slightly often High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) spooling is used. HDPE Piping is a good option for a number of applications due to its corrosion, chemical resistance and ease to work with. Custom HDPE Spools are very common in chemical plants and highly corrosive areas. The main limitation of HDPE piping is in high pressure applications where a bend is required or offtakes come off that don’t suit pre-engineered butt-weld fittings. A 16 Bar pressure rating is the highest buttweld component readily available. See PIPA Regulations here https://pipa.com.au/
A common use for piping & hose is pump suction and pump discharge lines. Sizing and specifying pump suction piping and pump discharge hose is critical in maintaining “on curve” and minimal maintenance pumping. Common suction & discharge piping is hot dip galvanised piping, stainless steel or duplex stainless steel spooling and depending on pressure requirements can including HDPE spooling. Pump piping design can be overlooked when installing your new pumping system. In most cases, the focus is on the equipment. When installed with an insufficient piping arrangement, pumps can experience premature and repeated failures. In these instances, maintenance personnel repair the pump – only fixing the symptom not the true problem.
Movable and flexible piping can be a mixture of lay flat hose, mining hose, rubber suction hose and flexible hoses. Each with their own benefits and limitations.
When specifying Piping, hose or spooling it is important to know the limitations, pros and cons of all options to ensure you have the best fit for purpose solution. Talk to the team at Liquimech to overcome your piping challenges.

It’s exceeded our expectations. High quality, we don’t need any counter weights and it’s easy to set up. It’s been in operation for 6 months now with no hassles, we’ve got quite a substantial pump driving water to the standpipe and we haven’t any issues. Overall quality & reliability supplied by Liquimech has been very impressive.
Feedback from site is that the standpipe is working well. Thanks for arranging fast delivery!
I’ve been dealing with Liquimech for some time now and can’t speak highly enough of what they do.
