El transporte de la tubería es un modo de transporte de larga distancia de sustancias líquidas y de gas utilizando la tubería como medio de transporte. Es un modo especial de transporte que transporta petróleo, Productos de carbón y químicos desde el lugar de origen hasta el mercado, y es un componente especial del transporte del tronco en la red de transporte unificado.

A veces, Las tuberías neumáticas pueden hacer un trabajo similar, y el gas comprimido se utiliza para transportar tanques sólidos llenos de bienes. El transporte de los productos del petróleo de la tubería es más costoso que el transporte de agua, Pero todavía es más barato que el transporte ferroviario. Most pipelines are used by their owners to transport their own products.

Pipeline transportation is not only large-scale, safe, reliable, stable, continuous, fast, economical, less investment, less land occupation and low cost, but also can realize automatic control. Pipeline transportation can save the transit trouble of waterway or land transportation, shorten the transportation cycle, reduce the transportation cost and improve the transportation efficiency.

Actualmente, the development trend of pipeline transportation is: the diameter of pipeline is constantly increasing, and the transportation capacity is greatly improved; The pipeline transportation distance increases rapidly; Material transportation has gradually expanded from fluid such as oil, natural gas and chemical products to non-fluid such as coal and ore.

From the advantage point of view, pipeline transportation has its unique advantages in oil and gas transportation. En primer lugar, its traffic is smooth and uninterrupted. Modern production, continuous production in oil fields, continuous pipeline transportation, and continuous production of finished products in oil refining and chemical industry meet the needs of the national economy; The second is to realize safe transportation. For oil and gas, the transportation of cars and trains is very dangerous, while the pipeline is sealed underground, so it is extremely safe; Third, the quality is guaranteed, the pipeline is sealed, the oil is not volatile, and the quality is not affected; Fourth, economy, low pipeline transportation loss, low freight, less land occupation and less pollution.
