What is Management of Hazards? This post will give some brief details about Hazards management in process or functional safety. Reducing risks to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) means reducing them to a level at which the cost and effort (time and trouble) of further risk reduction are grossly disproportionate to the risk reduction attained. The main part of ALARP finding is the rRead More…
The purpose of hazardous area classification is to ensure that ignition sources are generally not available to ignite potential flammable atmospheres. Refer below image for Hazardous Area Classification Drawing Hazardous areas extent, definition and
identification, which is based on the Area Classification Code for
Installations Handling Flammable Fluids, Institute of Petroleum Model CoRead More…
Standard Tee or a Barred Tee are fittings used in piping and pipeline engineering design. Piping standard tees are coming in equal tee and reducing tee, however in piggable pipelines a Bar or Barred Tees are used at the Tee branch connections. This is also called sometimes as Pigged Tee. Why is Barred Tee used in piggable pipelines? Barred Tee name itself is indicating purpose. MeanRead More…
This post gives some brief details about spring supports used in pipe supports. What is a purpose of Spring Supports? In general Spring supports are installed when vertical movement of the pipe causes large stresses in the line and/or high loadings developed on equipment nozzles due to: Lifting of the pipe from the support Restraint for the downward movement of the pipe SpringRead More…
What is welding defects? Before going to welding defects, we should understand what is welding? Welding is a process of fabrication. This joins different materials, mainly metals or non-metals like thermoplastics, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool, causing fusion. However such as brazing and soldering, are used with lower temperature techniques, which do nRead More…
What is topographical survey or topographical map? Any industrial plants or building and even when we are planning to build new house, we should know about the land details. Question is “why it is required?” Why not we can directly build the house or plant on open area. But unfortunately this is not the correct way. I will explain you why it is required, suppose you start building a constructiRead More…
Net positive suction head, which is called in short form as NPSH and used in engineering pump designs and even in design engineering of various plants for location of pumps. What is NPSH? NPSH is a static head, which will be calculated from single datum or reference elevation (Normally datum elevation is considered as pump suction elevation as reference elevation) minus vapour pressure headRead More…
Oil Production – Oil and Gas Facilities Introduction This post gives some basic information for oil production facilities in Oil and Gas industry. When an oil-drilling rig strikes oil, the well is said to have “come in”. The drilling rig is removed, and the well is fitted with special equipment to allow the oil to be collected and processed in a controlled way. This collection process iRead More…
Material Basics – Monel Introduction to Material Basics – Monel This blog provides, basic information about Monel 400 (UNS N04400), MONEL alloy K-500 (UNS N05500) and Monel Alloy R-405 (UNS N04405) material basics like, its properties, applications etc. Monel is a high tensile strength nickel-copper alloy that was discovered in 1905. It was found to be highly resistant to atmospheric corRead More…
Introduction to Intrinsically Safe Systems What are Intrinsically Safe Systems? Intrinsically safe systems are designed to prevent sparks or excessive heat that could ignite flammable substances in hazardous environments. These systems ensure safety by limiting the electrical and thermal energy available to levels below the threshold required to ignite the specific hazardous atmosphere. Why areRead More…
