Harnessing Nature: Integrating Biomimicry into Pipeline Design

Harnessing Nature: Integrating Biomimicry into Pipeline Design Introduction: Pipelines, the unsung heroes of modern infrastructure, are undergoing a revolution. While their primary function remains the same—transporting fluids from one point to another—their design is evolving, drawing inspiration from an unexpected source: nature. This is Integrating Biomimicry. Biomimicry in Pipeline Read More…

Reinforcement Calculation for Welded Branch Connections

Reinforcement Calculation for Welded
Branch Connections: Any pipe having an opening, for branch connection will be weaken, if pipe wall thickness will not sustain the pressure.  In this case, pipe reinforcement is necessary to provide. The amount of reinforcement required to sustain the pressure, shall be determined in accordance with below reinforcement calculation. Added

Tanks Bund Wall or Dyke Wall Calculation

Tanks Bund Wall or Dyke Wall Calculation: What
is bund wall? Bund wall is a Bunding constructed
alongside of storage tanks, where possibly polluting substances are stored and handled.
Bund wall also referred as dike wall, but dyke is normally used to describe
liquid containing tank facilities which prevent leaks and spillage from tanks
and pipes. Often, the liquids or substances stored inRead More…

Pipe Wall Thickness Calculation as per Code ASME B31.3

Pipe
Wall Thickness Calculation as per Code ASME B31.3: Pipe wall thickness calculation will be done per ASME B31.3 Clause 304.1.2 (3a), on account of internal pressure of pipe with below method. Basic Equations used for thickness
calculation are, t m =
t + c   and further t is calculated as
per below,      PD t  = —————-  &nbRead More…

Surge Relief Valves

What is Surge Relief Valves? In the event of the surge, the majority of the pressure is absorbed in the liquid and pipe, and just that quantity of liquid which is necessary to relieve pressures of unsafe proportions is discharged to the surge relief tank, by the way using this pressure is discharged is called surge relief valves. Surge Relief Valve Skids Typical
Surge Relief System

Specifying Torque Values for Fasteners

Specifying Torque Values for Fasteners Specifying Torque Values for Fasteners is required for….. Reliability of the joint is dependent upon the bolt’s ability to clamp the parts together Preload generated by a bolt can be indirectly controlled by regulating the applied torque Typically, only 10% to 15% of the torque is used to stretch the bolt. Of the remaining torque, typicRead More…

Double Block and Bleed Valves

Double Block and Bleed Valves: Double Block-and-Bleed Valve – API
Definition According
to API 6D “Specification for Pipeline Valves” Double block and bleed valves is a “single valve with two seating surfaces that, in the closed position, provides a seal against pressure from both ends of the valve with a means of venting/bleeding the cavity between the seating surfaces. Read More…

Separators

Separators: Separator is basically coming from category of Mechanical Static Equipment. However it is one of the pressure vessel type, based on its purpose. As its name implies the purpose as ‘Separation’.  In oil and Gas separators are widely used equipment, which is summarized below with its basic details. Principle The three principles used to achieve physical separatiRead More…

What is Process Safety

What is Process Safety? Process safety or functional safety or technical safety is a key element for any engineering design or any projects with planning as well as during execution of design at field locations. This is very important base for any industries to consider process safety or technical safety requirements and safe design goals for any project. Health and safety, involves formingRead More…
