All the modern day world sky high buildings we
don’t seem to get the importance of the pipes which are the in the
ground below us and run across the wall that surround us. Pipes are
there in almost every aspect of life we see. The very first and the
major use of pipes is roof supports, in many sky scrapers proper pillars
are avoided and heavy duty pipes are used as these pipes are cost
effective and use less space. The second major use of pipes is the
movement of wires. In almost all of the domestic and commercial
buildings all over the pipes are made part of a wall and all wires run
thought those pipes. The purpose of doing so that the pipes keep the
wires safe and incase of fire the fire dies out soon due to lack of
oxygen. Feature of safety and cost effectiveness combined.
The
third use of pipes is for the movement of water. Water moved across
large distances using pipes as pipes are sealed so no water in
evaporated from the heat. By moving water through pipes man has reduce
large amount of manual and animal labor which was used to move water
across distance. For example such pipelines are a blessing in mountains
area where an even travelling a few miles with some amount of would
consume half of it if it carried by a human or an animal. Water is
essential of life almost all human being so pipes are also used to
control the flow of water when feeding animals in zoo or shelter.
The
fourth major use of plumbing is sewage. Pipes of length grossing over
millions of kilometer are there beneath the surface of the earth to
carry the human and industrial waste to disposal sites t ensure that the
world doesn’t go back to the great stench of the industrial revolution,
which surrounded the great cities of Europe and claimed lives of
thousands of workers who paved the path of the modern world by working
in inhuman conditions.
The pipes used all around us vary in
sizes and shapes. The pipes used for supporting purposes are made from
hard and durable alloys which are light weight but carry immense
strength to hold up the great trading centers of the world. The pipes
which are there in our walls to control the wires are some millimeters
in diameter and ensure that wondrous electricity we use doesn’t harm us.
The pipes used for moving water are some centimeters in size and are
waterproof so that rusting doesn’t place. Plus these pipes are heavy
duty so that immense pressure could be controlled if anything goes wrong
on the backend. The pipes used in sewage start from a few centimeters
and may extend to a diameter of a few feet. Most of these pipes are
large enough so that fully grown man could get inside them in order
clean them and maintain them.
