flowline

Oil transport pipe

A flowline is a path along which something moves or is transported.

In oil and gas operations, flowlines are pipes that carry petroleum from wellheads to processing facilities.

In manufacturing, a flowline is the route products follow through assembly stages.

In physics and fluid dynamics, flowlines trace the movement of particles through a field or medium: The diagram showed flowlines converging at the drain.
