    Flexible Pipes for Centrifugal Pump Vibration

    @LittleInch @Heaviside1925 Thank you for your responses, very helpful. We have some batch processes that alternate between processing hot fluid and being left at ambient - Do you think this thermal expansion could justify some of the flexibles on hot duties (as a sort of expansion joint)? (for...

    Flexible Pipes for Centrifugal Pump Vibration

    On-site here nearly all centrifugal pumps are installed with flexibles on the suction and discharge piping. This seems to be a generally accepted practice which is backed up when you search for e.g.'flexibles for pump vibration' (this is usally on the websites of flexible hose suppliers)...

    What is screw conveyor loading? Inherent to material or process?

    Hi, so I have a bit of confusion about screw conveyor loading. So I understand what it physically means however what I don't understand is whether it is something that is inherent to the material being conveyed or something you design to achieve. I see that the max loading you want depends on...

    Fan Flowrate from Pressure Readings

    So to reiterate is this a pressure differential? So inlet and outlet, or just the auction side? What confuses me a bit is the physical meaning of 'suction pressure' on the fan curve, which I guess is actually my question. Thanks for your answer 😊

    Flowrate Measurements for Gas Ducts with Particles

    Hi, for ducts with diameters around 15-20" at high temperature (200-500 Deg C) with suspended solids, what instrumentation would be best for measuring the flowrate.

    Fan Flowrate from Pressure Readings

    Hi, would it be possible to get a rough estimate for a fans flowrate by taking pressure measurements and using the fan curve. So for example, something like measuring the pressure differential across the pump to get the TDH and cross comparing it to the pump curve. How many and where would I...
