A Pipe rack is a set of steel framed structures (typically triangularly shaped) that drill pipe is stacked on for storage or when being readied for use on a drilling rig.
Pipe rack also refers to the wooden pad on the drill floor where the stands of drill pipe are vertically stacked when tripping pipe (pulling pipe out of or running pipe into the wellbore).
See Drilling rig (petroleum) for a diagram of a drilling rig.
