This seems like a piping question to me, but if it's in the wrong area, please let me know.
At my company, we've been working on refurbishing and repackaging a couple Ariel recips that originally started as gas compressors and are being turned into higher-pressure syngas compressors. One is an...
I'm sorry it's taken a couple of days to respond. I appreciate both of you guys for answering. And, Mike, I'm always ecstatic when someone's generous enough to give me a long, helpful answer like you've done.
I'll guess I'll give a little more background on how we've done our heat exchangers...
Hello everyone,
The quick question:
Is it common or even standard practice to machine flange-face-style gasket grooves into a tubesheet, so that the gasket seats and seals similarly on its tubesheet side and its flange side (since the flange usually has gasket grooves)? If so, how's it...
To put it simply: take a relevant book home and read it. If your company has a library of useful books, see if you can check one out and take it off premises to read at home. If it doesn't, search online, ask for suggestions (such as on these forums), buy the book yourself and read it on your...
"No, you will not be able to re-salvage the stainless fittings and re-use them in "real" SS applications later. "
That's pretty much what I figured. I really wasn't worried about the pilot plant itself, but I had hoped to maybe salvage some of these stainless valves for use in full scale...
I wasn't exactly sure which forum to post this in, so please move it to the appropriate one if necessary.
I'm a chemical engineer, and we're building a really small pilot plant right now. The piping is threaded and doesn't go above 1".
As usual, I've been called in on the tail of a project...
Well, when I mentioned the low-current signal to the motor starter, I meant the signal to the coil that closes the contacts for power wiring.
Anyways, yeah, you've got the right idea. I was just at lunch and drew this thing out on my napkin, and realized I'd be connecting the two circuits and...
This is my first post in the forums. I'm a chemical engineer, so please forgive any ignorance I show when I'm over in the instrumentation neck of the woods.
As the thread title already indicates, I need to know whether one can control two circuits with a SPST switch.
For the refrigeration and...
