Bernoulli’s Equation & Principle: Definition, Derivation, Examples, Application
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...
Venturimeter: Definition, Parts, Working, Equation, Applications, Installation
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...
Overview of Lateral Buckling and Upheaval Buckling of Pipelines
Long pipelines are often subjected to lateral and upheaval buckling. Both upheaval and lateral buckling can induce excessive bending stresses in the pipeline that may lead to pipeline failure. In...
Types of Pipe Fittings and Components for Piping, Pipeline, and Plumbing Industry
Pipe Fittings are defined as the piping components that help in pipe routing for directional changes, size changes, and branch connections. Piping Elbows, Piping Reducers, Tee Connections, Olet...
Butterfly valves belong to the quarter-turn rotational motion valves family and are used primarily to stop, regulate, or start the flow. The term "butterfly" in a butterfly valve is actually a disk...
