    Undersize motor

    Good Day All, I've been trying to research the effects of having an undersized motor on a pump with some luck, but I would like a second opinion. Would the pump maximum flow/pressure capacity decrease? or would the motor run at a higher capacity but draw a lot more current (than practical) as a...

    Pump possible cavitation problem

    Hello All, So, I was informed that putting a wall mount heat exchanger that consists of a motor, pump, filter and a heat exchanger that runs at 8.5 gpm would cause cavitation of the pump, since the gearbox only holds 4 gallons of oil (plus the oil that would compensate for the volume of the new...

    Pipe Material

    very good point, but what kind of testings can be carried out in order to determine the Matl? I know there's the sample one, where you grab a cube and send it to the lab, but what other methods are out there? Thank you

    Hydro Test and Pipeline Design

    Good Day Everyone, 2 simple questions: - What determines the hydro test pressure of a spool section? I keep ready 1.5 time the design pressure, could someone elaborate on that? - If there is a TOL fillet welded on the middle of the pipe, how would you carry on a hydro test? Thank you

    Pipe Category and Hydrotest

    Hi All, I am new in the piping design world, and I was asked to design a spool with a hydrotest package for a gas line operating at 1,200 psi at a north region in Canada. I choose the following materials for the spool: · The pipe can be a NPS 1 XS A-106 (WT 0.133 in) · A NPS 2: NPS 1 reducer...
