Air flow is cyclical, it starts at the turbo, goes through the intercooler and into the intake manifold, then it is fed to each engine cylinder for combustion, from there it is considered exhaust, the exhaust f
Some other methods employed for safer oil spill cleanups from the sea are hot water washing or washing with high-pressure water, manual labour, bioremediation, and natural recovery. With high-pressure sprayers, water at about 170-degree Celsius is sprayed. This hot water flushes the oil to the...
A hydrostatic test or hydro test is a widely used method to ensure leak tightness and safety of pressure vessels, piping systems, pipeline systems, plumbing systems, tanks, boilers, cylinders, and other system components. The test is performed by subjecting the material to a predecided controlled...
Restriction orifice or RO, in short, is a flow control instrument device whose primary function is to provide a restriction to the flow so that a controlled or restricted flow is achieved. Due to this restriction by the orifice plate, a pressure head drop from the upstream of the orifice to...
Wjat is Water Hammer? is the result of a high-pressure shockwave that propagates through a piping system when a fluid in motion is forced to change/stop.
“The sum of the longitudinal stresses, SL, in any component in a piping system, due to sustained loads such as pressure and weight, shall not exceed “Sh“. Where Sh=Basic allowable stress at the metal temperature for the operating condition being considered. ...
The calculation of pipe wall thickness is a critical aspect of piping design, ensuring that pipes can safely withstand the internal pressure and other loads they may encounter during operation. A pipe is considered to be a thin-walled vessel and the wall thickness of such elements is calculated...

While PVC pipe is not commonly used for propane, it could potentially be a suitable material for this purpose under certain circumstances. For example, if you need to transport propane over a short distance and your pipes do not require high-pressure applications, then PVC pipes may work well...
Loss of pressure is higher compared to gate valves Need an actuator that has a huge torque for them to shut off in high pressure For Gate Valves: The opening and closing features are not as efficient. Creates vibration Vulnerable to leakage when the mechanism operates in high temperatures that...
