From Wikipedia:

Within industry, piping is a system of pipes used to convey fluids (liquids and gases) from one location to another. The engineering discipline of piping design studies the efficient transport of fluid.
Boilermakers and pipefitters are not plumbers although they work with piping as part of their trade and their work can include some plumbing.
