    API 609 - Difference between Category A and B

    Hi, API 609 related to Butterfly Valves is divided in 2 categories : A & B. One of the piping classes on my project is giving me the choice between both, for all diameters, and there is no note saying when to use one or the other. I'm guessing it is a matter of fluid. Can someone explain to...

    Which code to use for a Cosmetics Plant?

    Correct, I'm not the Client, but the Engineering designing the plant. Plant is in France, for an American client. It actually consists in moving an old existing plant from its current location to a new one, and at the same time applying the GMPs. It means that we need to "upgrade" and improve...

    Which code to use for a Cosmetics Plant?

    Hi guys! I've been working for 6 years now in the Oil&Gas/Pharma industry as a Piping Engineer. I worked on 2 "oil" projects and 1 "bio-pharma" project, and now i've been assigned to a Cosmetics Project. Most of the fluids in this project don't impose a high sanitary level of piping and...
