Difference between a tube and a pipe?

Pipes are always round while tubes can come in different shapes such as rectangular, square, or cylindrical. A pressure force is evenly distributed due to the circular shape of a pipe. Outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness (WT) are used to measure a both pipe and tube.Read More…

What is mechanical refrigeration?

Mechanical refrigeration is a process where heat is removed from a chosen location, using an artificial heat exchange system. This refrigeration system can be thermoelectric, magnetic, non-cyclic, cyclic, and will depend on the refrigeration application needed.Read More…

What is fatigue and creep and its main difference?

Mainly fatigue is the reduced tendency of a material to offer resistance to applied stress under repeated or fluctuating loading conditions. Whereas creep is low and progressive deformation of a material with time under constant stress at high-temperature applications.Read More…

Iron cross contamination

Dear Matt, Thanks for your question. Looking in to your case of iron formation, it seems to be a galvanic corrosion between pipe having SS material of construction and CS tank. Additionally second cause of this may be water quality. Composition of water has to be checked for proper selection of SS material for pipe. SS material is more corrosive in nature for high chloride contents, as well Read More…
