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...

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...

An actuator is a machine component that is used for moving and controlling a system or mechanism. To perform its operation, An actuator needs a control signal and a power source. They are widely used...
