If you have multiple offers, then you have the luxury to choose. Start by asking around, and get their feedbacks.
If you have a limited offer, or only one option then you have no choice but to grab that option and see where you go from there.
IP rating is implemented to protect the equipment from water or dust from seeping in which would affect the operability of the equipment. This is not applicable to valve that don't have electronic or electrical component.
If you are worried of the water or dust seeping into the valve's parts or...
I'm not sure I understand this question. Do you want to share the same loop? LT and PT give different value and reading from each other. Each of them has independent hard wire going to an individual AI channel at the DCS/PLC IO card so that each of the reading doesn't mix up with each other...
What type of LT that you are using? If it is DP LT, tubing length (horizontally) wont affect the reading and like georgeverghese mentions, once the line is flooded, it wont affect the reading as it's reading the pressure. However, you need to take into account the height of the tubing...
The pressure set point of the PSV so that the weakest point of the associated system (pipeline, vessels, etc) can be protected by the PSV. That is, the set point is normally set at the MAWP of the system. Also, take a look at the over pressure accumulation of the PSV which depends on the type of...
physically no difference, not that I know. Maybe I can learn a thing or two here but not that I know of. PCV and FCV have the same built. Trims, bonnet, stem, positioner, actuators, etc.
The wet parts are the most important as the built are dependent of the fluid characteristics (fluid state...
"In an oil and gas plant, the decision to use an explosion-proof (Ex) rated dual-fuel burner (for gas and diesel) depends on the classification of the hazardous area where the burner will be located. The Ex rating is often required for equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres to prevent...
I'm from O&G and I can't say much about other industries. I'd say any engineering profession that involve very high pressure process, flammable fluids, extremely high or extremely low temperature process would be an interesting choice.
These conditions would require a state of the art...
I'm not a designer and I've never done the schematics hands-on, but I've worked with Approved For Construction schematics for green field projects as well as As-Built schematics for brown field projects.
Green field schematic is pretty much straight forward. From nothing to something and...
Well I'd say it would not be necessary to test it at 1480psi because I'm pretty sure those valves have been tested at factories before shipped to site.
1125psi is suffice but this is only applicable at one end of the pipe (valve inlet end). You have to test the pipe at the outlet end too.
But...
It's not a concern here. It's in gas state so cavitation won't occur. Your gas temperature need to be really low at a certain pressure to change it to liquid, which is not going to happen in your case. No liquid, formation of bubble is not going to happen.
Cavitation occurs when the liquid...
The Typing of The Dead.
When I was a kid, I learnt my typing by playing the game. I'm not sure about you though, as this is a video game. Considering your age, you may not want to consider this. But there is no harm trying. The game was fun though.
Normally you would refer to your internal procedures. The place I worked at - I believe the practice was generally applicable to all - do a yearly calibration on non-critical equipment. The critical equipment, on the other hand, would have a shorter interval, say bi-yearly calibration.
With...
