What is Header in Pipeline?

In a pipeline system, a header is a crucial component that serves as a central conduit for the distribution or collection of fluids (liquids or gases). The primary function of a header is to manage the flow within the system by either distributing the fluid from a main source to multiple branch pipelines or collecting the fluid from various sources and directing it to a single outlet.

Creative Piping is the premier exporter and distributor of Fabricated Pipe Headers Fittings, serving markets across the USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar.

Types of Fabricated Pipe Headers:

• Manifold Headers: Distribute flow from a single source to multiple outlets.
• T-Type and Y-Type Headers: Manage branching of flow in different directions.
• Distributor and Collector Headers: Evenly distribute or collect fluids or gases from multiple sources.
• High-Pressure and Steam Headers: Designed for high-pressure applications, often in power generation.
• Condensate Headers: Collect condensate in steam systems for recycling.

Key Functions of a Header in a Pipeline:

• Distribution:

  • A header can distribute a fluid from a main supply line to various branch lines. For example, in a heating system, a steam header might distribute steam from a boiler to different sections of a facility.

• Collection:

  • Conversely, a header can collect fluids from various branch lines and funnel them into a single main line. This is common in systems like condensate return headers in steam systems, where condensate from different sections is collected and returned to the boiler.

• Balancing Flow:

  • Headers help in balancing the flow across different branches of a pipeline system, ensuring that each branch receives the appropriate amount of fluid or gas, maintaining system efficiency and performance.

• Pressure Management:

  • They play a role in maintaining consistent pressure across the system by distributing or collecting the flow in a controlled manner. This is crucial in preventing pressure drops or surges that could damage the pipeline system.
