Fluid Flow: Retrofit for reliability with Coriolis flowmeters
Aging infrastructure has become a much-talked-about issue across the hydrocarbon industry.
Application of ring-type joint gaskets in a refinery
In refineries and petrochemical plants, ring-type joint (RTJ) flanges have been applied to high-pressure processes or sensitive areas that are susceptible to leaks.
Fabrication of clad equipment and piping—Part 2
For pressure vessels, heat exchangers and piping in corrosive services, the materials in contact with the process are often required to be high alloys to provide a reliable service life.
Design considerations for rigging and transportation of large process columns
Design guidelines for rigging and transporting large process columns are outlined in this article, along with the various aspects that should be considered during the initial design phase of equipment.
Set correct design specifications for optimized piping and pipe support system
During the planning and engineering execution of petrochemical, oil and gas, and power projects, it is essential that the owner and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor mutually develop a comprehensive and detailed piping design specification.
Engineering Case Histories: Case 105—Temperature distribution along a flare line
During an engineer’s career, many interesting questions come up that may not have a ready or good answer.
