Piping is related to a system that is inside a plant or short distance piping.

 

a pipeline is for long remote piping.

Pipeline means transportation of hydrocarbon in liquid or gas state for a long distance while piping is done in a boundary or plant.

The segment of interconnected metallic or non metallic tubulars (Rigid or Flexible) between the two extreme ends of the piping at Boundary limit of a Plants &/or Platforms is simply called a Pipeline.

As per Industry Codes and Standards there is no limitations on the length of a Pipeline or a Piping. I myself had desigend a sub sea Water Injection Pipeline of 500 meters only.
