    Surge in Centrifugal Fans/Blowers (API 673/ API 560)

    I agree with LittleInch. It is not advisable to operate at flow less than surge flow plus a certain margin. Anti-surge protection should be implemented. The magnitude of damages or alteration and negative impact on lifetime may vary, irrespective of the size. Certainly, surge in bigger machines...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    As an update: To my big surprise, HR made significant impact and was very receptive to my case, also very genuinely so. I do not know the exact content of conversation between HR / boss, but 100% confident they have pointed that the approach undertaken is not proper and that they disagreed with...

    Chemical filter consideration for instrument air compressor

    In general a reference could possibly be to look at NACE MR0175 as far as H2S is concerned. I do not know about SO2. Basically depending on whether the service is Sour and its severity, the current material selection of the rotating parts in contact with process medium may become limited and...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    phamENG, Thank you so much. By the way, Kudos to you because you have a healthy mindset. I do not know the labor law in details, but from the little I read about it, in the province where I live, an employee have little to no protection (apart from recourse to civil litigation) when 2 years of...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    IRstuff, First off, thanks for sort of narrowing down the issues. I am interested to know your thought process by which you arrived at this (which is kind of dilemma, or dead end - if you agree)? Not saying its wrong, but If you are keen to elaborate, for example what makes you think I remain...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    What if, HR are not very honest (I do not know!!) and them together with Boss had had side talks and would just protect themselves and just play politics.. not necessarily according to "the Spirit and the Letter" ? what are my options? I may be just overthinking it or simply loosing my mind...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    SWComposites, Have you bothered to talk to your peers at the company to find out what the typical process is in this company/country? To be honest not really. I did not "socialize" as much as I wanted; basically most work is done from home. What was basically a temporary measure during lock...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    I have a permanent work contract (open ended). Since I am still employed, and probation period revolved since some while, what is my status with respect to code of labor : (1) permanent employee confirmed (2) permanent employee still under probation (outside contract terms) (3) other status...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    Thanks IRstuff. If we assume that all of this should have been sorted out within probation period hall mark, do you think it is proper (ethically?/legally?) to state a remark as such, as open to interpretation as it is? To give you some context, I was assigned to work on long term projects by...

    Most Efficient Torque Producer

    what flowrate throughput is available? what is the temperature? You may consider a combination of turbo expander and gearbox to achieve desired torque? See http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/98735/7/WRAP-optimal-selection-air-expansion-machine-compressed--He-2018.pdf page 16/20 for selection guideline...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    Exactly. Thank you. Sorry for bothering you again, but what is your interpretation of the "whatever that is" Exp.: "I have yet to officialize the decision, whatever that is." I understand that a decision of successful completion of probation period is not made yet. How do you understand it...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    Hi Dik, "Maybe the final test is to see how he addresses this problem." I spoke with HR as I decided I won't let this go. I did just say to HR, sorry but this is the clause and situation and the handling of it concerns me. They looked again at the contract and said that this needs a follow up...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    TheTick, "Everything is a breach or crime with you. I'd let you go." A contract is a contract and it has to be adhered to. When not then it is a breach. What part of it do you not understand? Where did you see me complaining about "everything"? was my complaint not specific and to the point...

    It is possible but it is relatively minor compensation increase. But who knows the motivation.

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    Agreed Little Inch. It seems to me the situation is endemic in the company. I think the environment is a bit broken, but honestly the breach of contract is not tasty because (and that is a personal stand) it is dear to my heart that the rule of law applies (I mean at large, in anything in...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    Hi LittleInch. Thank you. The salary issue I raised was more for the principle, honestly I am in no hurry for the pay increase. I did not intend to involve the boss or make noises about it. I thought it is something wrong with the payroll dept. But that led me to discover something I did not...

    help regarding probation period / work contract breach

    Thanks steveh49 quoted Also, read the contact with fresh eyes. You quoted what you said is the definition of the probation period, but the phrase 'probation period' wasn't there. Maybe the probation period isn't clearly defined. If not, another reason not to go in as the 'legal guy' if you're...
