The process which involves applying a layer of epoxy resin covering to the interior surfaces of pipes, tanks, and containers is known as epoxy pipe coating. This layer protects against corrosion and chemical damage while also improving fluid flow. Surface preparation is followed by the application of epoxy resin by spray or brush techniques. The…
Diaphragm valves play a vital role in numerous industrial processes, particularly in situations demanding meticulous management of fluid flow. These valves feature a flexible diaphragm that acts as a barrier between the valve body and the controlled fluid. Available in various sizes, materials, and configurations, diaphragm valves offer unparalleled control. This article provides a comprehensive…
Vibration measurement encompasses the systematic quantification of oscillatory motion’s magnitude, frequency, and direction within physical systems. This crucial process relies on various sensors, notably accelerometers, to gauge vibrations in objects or structures. Industries spanning automotive, aerospace, and civil engineering heavily rely on vibration measurements due to the potential damage that excessive vibrations can inflict upon…
Multiport selector valves (MSV) are rotary valves designed to redirect the flow of fluids or gases into different lines or process streams. Equipped with multiple ports, the valve can be selectively opened or closed to precisely direct the fluid or gas flow to various outlets as required. This allows for efficient control and management of…
High-frequency welding is a specialised method used to fuse thermoplastic materials together. It is sometimes referred to as Radio Frequency (RF) welding or the HF welding process. This novel approach has broad applications in many fields, including the production of packaging, automobiles, textiles, and medical devices. This technology creates heat and pressure using high-frequency electromagnetic…
A common mechanical support tool in the piping and plumbing industries is the clevis hanger. This pipe attachment is intended to support and hang piping systems from beams or overhead structures, including pipes, tubes, and conduits. For supporting pipes, clevis hangers are highly flexible and offer vertical adjustments. They are typically preferred for piping systems…
There are various standards and requirements that govern the production and application of flanges. The API 6A specification, developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API), is one such standard. While API flanges are specifically made for wellhead and Christmas tree equipment in the oil and gas industry, ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) B16.5 offers…
Desalination is the process of removing salt and other minerals from seawater to make it safe for drinking, irrigation, and other purposes. This process is becoming increasingly important as fresh water resources become scarce in many parts of the world. The process typically involves filtering seawater through a membrane that removes the salt and other…
Underwater acoustic communication is a technology that enables the transmission of information through sound waves in an underwater environment. This technology is crucial in many underwater applications, including submarine communication, oceanographic research, and underwater navigation. In underwater acoustic communication, sound waves are used to transmit information between underwater devices such as sonar systems, underwater acoustic…
