What state of the piping system is initial and ambient?

June 23, 2014

The cold state of the piping system is initial and ambient.

What state of the piping system is full and operational?

The hot state of a piping system is full and operational.

What are factors to take into consideration when designing high energy piping systems?

Factors of high energy piping systems include: temperature, movements, complexity, multi-facet and volatile.

What are some examples of treatment facilities?

Types of treatment facilities are water and sewage.

What does “Balance of Plant” refer to?

June 18, 2014

“Balance of Plant” refers to the components of a piping system not included in the primary system. Examples are blowers, compressors and pumps.

What are some examples of refineries?

Types of refineries are petroleum and chemical.

What are some examples of power plants?

Types of power plants include conventional and nuclear. Examples include: thermal (coal, oil, nuclear and geothermal), hydroelectric, solar, wind and wave/tidal.

What are examples of facilities for consumers?

Types of consumer facilities are food, pharmaceutical, air and refrigeration.

Where is piping used?

Piping is used in power plants, refineries, transmission, treatment and consumer facilities.

What types of media do piping systems transfer?

Piping systems transfer media, including solid, liquid and gas.

What type of resources do piping systems transfer?

Piping systems transfer resources from ports to consumers, upstream to downstream facilities and between process within facilities.

What is the purpose of piping systems?

Piping systems are essential to transfer resources and transport media.

What does LNG stand for – what is it?

June 9, 2014

Liquid Natural Gas – It is light hydrocarbon gasses that are compressed into a liquid state for cheaper and more efficient transportation.

Are light duty clamps for gas service and heavy duty for liquid service?

May 16, 2014

The clamps are distinguished by their load rating. In some cases, gas service loads could be less than loads in liquid service for the same pipe size. This would allow you to use a light duty clamp.

What is an Inner Thrust Ring?

It is a plate welded to the outer arch of a pipe to restrict the sliding of the insulation assembly against the pipe wall.

Where is a common area to find a piping deformation?

The most common area in a pipe to find deformations is in the middle. This area is the farthest distance away from the supports.

What type of media can pass through a transition piece?

August 7, 2013

Media that can pass through a transition piece include air, liquid, gasses, dust,dirt, and chemicals.

Can duct work include expansion joints?

Duct work assemblies can include fabricated elbows, tees, straight sections of duct work, fabric or metallic expansion joints and can be rectangular or round.

125695a1 — Duct work and expansion joint assembly.

What is duct work?

Ducts are a series of sectioned tubes, which transfer either heated or cooled air from the furnace or air conditioner, throughout the building.
