“Density is a property of the fluid which is dependent upon the pressure and temperature. Variation in density to pressure and temperature may be small or large”. Liquids are considered incompressible, whereas gases are referred to as compressible fluids. Based on the fluid behavior under the action of shear stress: fluid is also categorised into … Read more
Pipe Class and Pipe Specifications What is a Pipe: A pipe is a tubular or hollow cylindrical section used for fluid transportation. Fluid to be transported through the pipe may be gas, liquid, and solids. Pipe classification: Pipes used in industrial applications can be selected on the basis of different Material, sizes, design parameters (pressure … Read more
