Electrostatic Precipitator Overview In the early 1900s, Frederick Gardner Cottrell created electrostatic precipitators, sometimes known as ESPs. These devices are now crucial for regulating industrial…

Pipe Weight Calculation-Metallic & Non-Metallic
If you are into piping, you can not ignore the term pipe weight. Whether you are into Layout, stress, material, construction, or elsewhere, you will be required to get the pipe weight.
Induction Pipe Bending
Induction bending is a method that allows the bending of pipe at any desired angle or shape by applying a bending force on the pipe that has been locally heated up by an eddy current induced by a fluctuating electromagnetic field.
Pipeline Buoyancy: an Overview
Pipeline buoyancy must be considered anytime there is a possibility that pipe flotation could occur or be ready for dramatic damages to the pipeline. Although, it’s a simple calculation but an important aspect.
A Presentation on Expansion Loops
Expansion loops are one of the most effective ways to increase the flexibility in the piping system. The stress is generated in the pipelines due to thermal expansion or contraction and it can be damped by the arms of the loops mounted vertically to the mainline.
How to Find Minimum Radius of Pipeline Bends
A pipeline has to be routed in such a manner as to avoid any potential weak link, due to its potentially large movement. Bends are the most common weak links of the pipelines. If a bend used in a pipeline is not properly designed, the large bulging movement…
Case Study of Storage Tanks Layout or Tank Farm
The following article will provide a sample case study for Storage Tanks Layout or Tank Farm based on OISD-Standards-118.
Tank Farm Design Considerations and Layout
In this article, we will learn the tank farm design considerations, storage tanks arrangement, tank farm length, and width calculation, and dyke wall height calculation.
Pump Piping Design Considerations
The pump piping design can have an important impact on the operating efficiency and life expectancy of any pump. Hence, the piping design engineer must consider the important points while designing the pump piping layout.
