Abstract
A piping system in a maritime structure, such as a ship, is subdivided into individual piping units at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal and/or lateral direction along lateral or longitudinal dividing planes. The piping units are disposed and supported on removable pallets mounted on a surface in the interior of the ship, e.g., on a selected deck, or bottom deck of the ship. The open ends of corresponding mating pipes of adjacent piping units are arranged at the dividing planes. The corresponding pipes of one piping unit and corresponding mating pipes of adjacent piping units are connected in a fluid-tight manner by means of removable pipe connectors. The dividing planes may advantageously be made to coincide with a grid having lines which are drawn to divide a deck length and width uniformly. The piping units may be standardized and prefabricated.
