Abstract
Hydraulic piping systems have significant impacts on human endeavours such as households, industries and agriculture. Therefore, it is important to evaluate these impacts for developing effective piping systems. However, there has been surprisingly limited research focusing on impact evaluation for designing hydraulic pipe systems so far. To address this gap, this paper proposes a framework to comprehensively evaluate hydraulic piping systems. These metrics primarily focus on (i) design of hydraulic piping system, (ii) Components, (iii) Fluid compatibility, (iv) Environmental considerations, (v) Safety, (vi) Application of software technology, (vii) Software development, and (viii) Future perspective. The proposed framework greatly enhances the fundamental understanding of the underlying properties of the hydraulic piping systems. Such understanding offers important guidance to develop effective pipe management, resource planning, and software development for hydraulic piping system.
