Minimum required thickness of process pipeline (Engineering calculation)

Pressure Calculation Calculator:Minimum required thickness of pipeline for service as per ASME B31.3 Design Pressure (PSI): Diameter (inch): Stress 'S' (PSI): Quality Factor 'E': Weld Joint Reduction Factor 'W': Coefficient 'Y': Calculate Results: Min. Reqired Thickness tm (inch): 12.5% Allowance (inch): Mini. Required Thicknes (mm): After getting 12.5% allowance (inch) value again check ASME B36.10 or API 574 piping thickness table and choose thicknes value higher then this value for service. Calculating the Minimum Required Thickness of Pipelines for Service as per ASME B31.3 Introduction: In the field of engineering, designing safe and reliable pipelines is of utmost importance. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B31.3 code provides guidelines for the design and construction of process piping systems. One cr

Purging Gas in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding: Enhancing Weld Quality and Integrity

Introduction: In the realm of welding, achieving high-quality welds with excellent integrity is paramount. One crucial technique that aids in this endeavor is the use of purging gas. Purging gas plays a vital role in preventing oxidation and ensuring a clean, controlled environment during welding. In this blog, we will explore the significance of purging gas, its purpose, techniques, and benefits in various welding applications. Join us as we delve into the world of purging gas and its impact on weld quality. Back purging is most important phenomenon in GTAW process because this process is mostly used in Stainless steel. Stainless steel is widely used fabrication of chemical, petrochemical, food etc. plant. All thin section and root welding is performed by GTAW process. GTAW process is also very popular in Aluminum welding. In all large diameter pipe the root pass welding is done by GTAW process where the back purging is mandatory. Purging gas protect the weld metal fro

Energy efficiency in Thermal utilities (Chapter 3: Steam System)

  Energy efficiency in Thermal utilities  (Chapter 3: Steam System) Introduction  Steam has been a popular mode of conveying energy since the industrial revolution. Steam is used for generating power and also used in process industries such as sugar, paper, fertilizer, refineries, petrochemicals, chemical, food, synthetic fiber and textiles. The following characteristics of steam make it so popular and useful to the industry:  ¢ Highest specific heat and latent heat ¢ Highest heat transfer coefficient e Easy to control and distribute Cheap and inert   Properties of Steam  Water can exist in the form of solid, liquid and gas as ice, water and steam respectively. If heat energy is added to water, its temperature rises until a value is reached at which the water can no longer exist as a liquid. We call this the “saturation” point and with any further addition of energy, some of the water will boil off as steam. This evaporation requires relatively large amounts of energy, and whil
