Understanding Pressure and Temperature in the context of Pressure Vessel Design
Many of the failures that we experience in the process industry are due to overpressure. Overpressure is the result of unbalance or disruption of normal flows of material and energy. This causes...
What is Pressure Surge or Water Hammer? A pressure surge is a pressure wave that is caused by the kinetic energy of the moving fluid when there is a sudden change in flow velocity. Due to the...
Pressure Vessels: Types, Design, Supports, Applications, Materials
What is a Pressure Vessel A pressure vessel is a closed leak-tight container (normally cylindrical or spherical) designed to hold fluids (i.e, gases, liquids, or two-phase fluids) at a pressure...
What is HAZOP? Mechanism, Advantages, Applications of HAZOP Analysis
What is HAZOP Analysis? The full form of HAZOP is a Hazard and Operability Study. This is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary team exercise to critically review (Analyze) the piping design (Layout/...
A Pump or Pumping system is the major equipment in any process or power plant. So the equipment should operate properly to give the best output in terms of performance. However, there are many...
Water Hammer Basics Water hammer, Pressure Surge, or hydraulic shock, is a term for the destructive pressure increase and accompanying shock wave that takes place in pipeline or piping systems...
