Pipe routing: below point to consider while doing the pipe routing Piping shall be routed such way that the optimum piping layout is achieved in terms of process requirements, ergonomics, operation, inspection and maintenance. Having considered these factors, the number of flanges, fittings, valves and welds shall be minimized which helps to reduce the cost … Read more
NPSH of pump: When the liquid passes from the pump section to the eye of the impeller, the velocity increases and the pressure decreases. There are also pressure losses due to shock and turbulence as the liquid strikes the impeller. The centrifugal force of the impeller vanes further increases the velocity and decreases the pressure of the liquid. Thus, the Net … Read more
Pipe wall thickness calculations: ASME B31.3 is used extensively for offshore facilities. Pipe thickness under internal pressure calculated using equation given by this standard. ASME B31.8 normally used for gas lines in onshore production facilities and when transporting and distributing gas. ASME B31.4 normally used in onshore oil production and is actually subset of ASME … Read more

A gate valve is one type of valve which is used to regulate the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a pipe system.. It is named “gate” valve because it has a gate-like mechanism that controls the flow by either blocking it or allowing it to pass through. The gate is moved up and … Read more
Below are the piping failures encounter in the piping What are the types of failures encountered in Piping? Answer: – 1. Catastrophic Failure. 2. Fatigue Failure. Define catastrophic failure? Answer:- The failures which occurs suddenly as soon as the load crosses the threshold (Ultimate tensile strength). These failures take place on the first occurrence of … Read more
straight run requirements of orifice plate: Flow measuring instrument needs certain straight length on upstream & downstream of the instruments. Normally, 15D on the upstream and 5D on the downstream is kept. straight run requirements of orifice plate The pipe line in which flow meters such as magnetic flow meters, vortex meters, turbine meters etc … Read more
Types of piping material: Piping in a particular plant can be compared with arteries & veins in our body. There are mainly two types of pipes from manufacturing point of view. The first is Seamless pipes & second is Welded pipes. Various attributes of pipe are described below. A) Pipe End Preparation: There are three … Read more
Description of all types of valves: In engineering and fluid handling systems, knowing the different types of valves is vital for proper operation and safety. The many types of valves available serve purposes such as starting, stopping, or regulating the flow of liquids and gases. Selecting the right types of valves depends on pressure, temperature, and … Read more
