Can you please explain the Zinker method in pipeline installation? Is it commonly used? It seems that I haven't seen it in general pipeline installation books, or is it perhaps categorized under open-cut methods? Maybe you can give me references
Hi,
We operate a natural gas transmission pipeline system running from east to west. However, a report indicates that in the coming years, changes in supply and demand may necessitate reversing the flow direction (west to east).
Could you provide insights on similar projects, relevant...
Hi currently, I am in process for designing mechanical components for shiplift and transfer system operation. And, the standard itself (which is code for lifting appliance in a marine environment by LLoyd' Register) state that we should analyze seismic event. What I want to know, is this enough...
Well, thank you for the explanation. The issue is I worry that if fluid's velocity is too fast (when entering Pressure vessel) it could damage the pressure vessel. What I want to find is the rule of thumb or formula to determine the limit of fluid's velocity.
For instance, in API 14E (I think)...
Hi, currently I am designing pipeline, piping and pressure vessel system. I want to know maximum limit fluid's velocity input to pressure vessel. Is there any standard/code/book that I can refer to?
Hi, currently I am estimating cost of constructing and installation of LPG filling station. And, I want to know the cost/price for doing pneumatic test in LPG piping system and hydrostatic test in fire fighting system. Is there anyone that can provide me the estimation (in US dollar) regarding...
Hi, i'am currently designing oil tank and now I'm in the detailing stage regarding the drainage channel,
in NFPA 30 They stated that :
22.11.2.6 Each diked area containing two or more tanks shall be subdivided, preferably by drainage channels ....
22.11.2.6.1 The drainage channels or...
Hello, I'm currently designing a bolted tank based on API 12B.
is there any way to test this tank (such as hydrostatic test)?
it doesn't seem to be described in detail by API 12B.
Can I adopt the way the API 650 tank does?
Hello, I'm currently designing a rectangular tank with atmospheric design pressure.
is there any way to test this tank other than those mentioned by UL142 ???
Given that the document says that the minimum pressure for the hydrostatic test is 30 psi. It looks like the design criteria for the...
Currently, I am reviewing designs that are suitable for temporary/mobile tanks in the oil and gas sector.
Therefore, I may ask, is the knockdown tank design suitable for storing crude oil? if there is an example, what standard should I refer to?Crude oil, Knockdown, Tank
Thank you for the recommendation, right now i'm doing final project about HDD for steel pipe, i'm just curious about this information, if for case plain open trench or crossing river (the location close to road btw) is it still valid to use API 1102 or is there another code ?
For information...
