Do you actually need to do this in routing or do you simply need this dual pipe shape?

 

In routing you will be able to pick standard size pipes to populate a "run". If you use the same line for a run of two different sized pipes they will be concentric. You can also just draw them as a part without merging the results or draw them individually and insert them into an assembly(which could also contain pipe routing information).

 

What version of Solidworks are you using?

First i insert a flange and then route a pipe by dragging it.Then use 3d sketch to define path.Now i want one more pipe inside the pipe of smaller dia concentric to bigger one.

I dont know what a pipe run is

Well the method you used sounds like the Drag and Drop method. Basically a pipe needs a route. Your 3d sketch is that route. You should be able to reuse that 3d sketch and just define a smaller diameter pipe to populate that. What im calling a run is the same as a route or path. Just another term for it. Hopefully i will get a little free time today and I can make some screen shots for you.

I took a real quick look at it. Using drag and drop you can easily do this and add relations to make them concentric. If you are going to use a sketch you will either need to use that sketch again or draw a new one for the pipe to use as a path. The routing properties lets you select what pipe size to use. So basically just follow exactly what you did for the first pipe only with a smaller size. Sorry i still havent had much time to play with it yet.
