Thermal expansion: Thermal Expansion refers to the condition, if there is a change in the temperature of the body (either heated or cooled), there is a resultant change in length, width, and height, Volume of the body. In this article, we will learn about the types of thermal expansion. Coefficient of linear thermal expansion: The … Read more
What is safety relief devices: Safety relief devices are the valves which are used to protect equipment including the piping and its components due to overpressure scenarios or conditions. Pressure relief valves are actuated by the inlet static pressure. Safety relief valves are designed to open in an emergency or abnormal condition. Blocked discharge: It … Read more

What is Flange: Flanges are generally used to connect with the pipe, pipe fittings, valves, and other specialty items (Strainer) to complete the piping system. Joining Connection by Flange is mostly used after welding and is considered as a reliable technique. Flange connections typically comprise three parts: Design Codes: Standards that are used for … Read more
“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
