A flame arrester is a safety device whose principal purpose is to prevent a flame entering or leaving a pipe or vessel or to prevent it traveling further down a pipe. In many cases it is used in conjunction with other components to create a safety system. Failure to stop a flame can result in … Read more
Vessel trims are independent piping and instrument items that are directly attached to a pressure vessel. They are used to display the process parameters inside the vessel and for operation and maintenance purposes. Some common types of vessel trims include Pressure gauges: These gauges measure the pressure inside the vessel. Temperature gauges: These gauges measure … Read more
Pigging is used in the pipeline after certain time when the efficiency of the pipeline drop due to foreign particles store/scaled inside the pipeline. The use of proper pigging program helps maintain the integrity and optimum efficiency of pipeline which safe pipeline asset of the operating company and safe our environment. The maintenance of the pipeline is very important … Read more
The ultrasonic testing method is applicable to almost all materials. The ultrasonic method uses the transmission of mechanical energy in wave form at frequency above the audible range. Reflections of this energy by discontinuities in metals are detected in a manner somewhat analogous to the detection of reflected light waves in transparent media. Advantages of … Read more
Radiographic Testing uses X’Ray and Gamma Radiation that penetrates through the part and produces an image on a film. Radiographic inspection is suitable for all types of metal (i.e Stainless, Carbon Steel, Inconel, Duplex , CuNi and other Steel Alloys). However the applicability of radiography for weld inspection depends a great deal upon the weld joint location, joint … Read more
Equipment layout refers to the arrangement and positioning of various equipment and machinery within a given space or facility. It is an essential aspect of the overall plant or facility design and plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient operations, safety, and accessibility. The equipment layout process involves careful planning and consideration of several factors, … Read more
Chemical injection Quill: An injection quill also known as a chemical injection quill or injector, is a device that is used to introduce chemicals into a pipeline or vessel. It is typically made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant material and has a small diameter, typically 1/8″ to 1/2″. The quill is inserted into the … Read more
Flow meters: Flow measurement is required for the determination of the quantity of a fluid, gas, liquid, or steam, that passes through a particular point. The quantity to be determined may be volume flow rate, mass flow rate, flow velocity, or other quantities related to the previous three. There exist a number different types of … Read more
ASME B31.2 Fuel Gas piping code: A code for fuel gas piping was released by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 1968. It encompasses the planning, creation, installation, and testing of piping systems for fuel gases such liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas, and produced gas. The fuel gas piping systems within and … Read more
