An automatic recirculation valve or ARV is a multifunctional valve. ARV ensures that a pre-determined minimum flow is transferred through a centrifugal pump at all times. So an automatic...

Both Cast iron and Cast steel are ferrous products containing iron and carbon as the major components. Cast iron is a ferrous material containing more than 2% carbon. On the other hand, Cast steel...

Globe valves are linear motion closing-down valves used to start, stop or regulate the flow using a closure member referred to as a disc. The globe valve disk can completely close the flow path or...

What is Bernoulli's Principle? Bernoulli's principle provides a relationship between the pressure of a flowing fluid to its elevation and its speed. The conservation of kinetic, potential, and...

Venturi meters are instruments for fluid flow measurement. It has a converging section that gives an increase in the flow velocity with a corresponding drop in pressure from which the flow rate can...

Pipe Weight Calculation is a very important process in piping engineering. Pipe weight is directly related to its thickness (Pipe Schedule). The more the pipe thickness or pipe schedule, the more...
