    PSV Sizing On N2 Receiver Vessel

    would probably do as shvet describes: "As a "shortcut" in such cases I sometimes practice installing a smallest PSV with no a credible scenario behind that. This can't be called "sound engineering".

    calculate temperature of saturated steam discharged to atmosphere via leak

    Hi Big, You need to know stuff about thermodynamics specificalle for steam! Or get someone you know (and preferrably pay) to tell your. You get good advice here but if something is wrong are you just going to say "well the guys at this website said...."? Anyway, also check out checalc. They...

    Material to outlive the Giza Pyramids

    Bronze is one of the substances that will last the longeste exposed to the elements. I dont know if there is a special "sculpture" mix but you might be able to find out yourselve. --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Allowable overpressures for Multiple PSVs with staggered set-pressures

    note that this will not be legal in EU in my understanding of PED and the PED FAQ's --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Storage temperature for methanol

    your local legislation may limit the evaporation. This may require vapor recovery and/or low storage temperature. --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Does the Joule-Thomson effect explain how a Thermal Expansion Valve works for refrigeration systems?

    @OP in my opinion yes, because its a throttling process with a (almost) constant enthropy - but as other has mentioned in a regular refrigeration system you would get condensated refrigerant after the valve flooding the area that you want cooled (may be a "radiator" might be pipes with a cooling...

    When is an MOC required.

    Its your engineering system (and MOC system). You should ask a colleague not some random dude. --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Pump in Acetone service - Seal requirements

    Depends on the amount of soilds, but a mag pump seems like a good alternative. You dont want your boiling 80% acetone to leak too much --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Aspen flare Analyzer warning message

    I think it might be relating to your components. One of them might not have the nhv defined, and then it cant calculate it for the entire phase. If im right you can propably specify it (guess / estimate e.g. based om MW and compare to other components. If its a low fraction it might not matter...

    Metallurgical & Materials PE Exam

    ... sounds like there's going to be a shortage of metallurgical PEs? ;-) --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Which materials are compatible with methanol

    i think your problems will be with any elastomers. Check this first. BUT you could have tried good ol' google, this was at the very top (for metals and alloys): https://www.methanol.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Compatibility-of-Metals-Alloys-in-Neat-Methanol-Service.pdf and this was the...

    PED Categorization for sulphur at 190 °C (fluid physical state?)

    @ FPPE, You can find many PED category calculator on the net e.g. this: https://www.hpivs.ie/ce-certification-2/ped/pressure-vessel-calculator I would think that liquid sulphur is liquid group 1. If your pressure is in absolute bars then its not covered by PED --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Flow Coefficient calculation of Choke Valves

    Maybe the most accurate thing would be to measure it in a test bench? --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Flow Coefficient calculation of Choke Valves

    A choke valve is basically a valve that restrict the flow at a given dP - and is operating in the "sonic velocity" range so that the flow is limited by the square root of the dP. So max. capacity at full open is interesting, but all positions in between is not that interesting. Consider a choke...

    Set point of pressure switch

    @littleinch, Thats more or less common sense. But a standard? I agree wrt to the consultant mentioned. --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Set point of pressure switch

    Hi Zuma, when asking like that then no. --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Pressure Relief Valve Connection

    @shvet, i dont see any "non standard" in this arrangement? Its the most common. But as Littleinch says you shall only do this for single valve arrangements w.o. block valves downstream the PSV --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Thanks guys, Didnt look in the imperial versions and i could'nt find the graph on p 36 in the others. Maybe i was just impatient. --- Best regards, Morten Andersen

    Fristam FL100 L - self priming?

    I have been browsing various spec sheets and brochures but cant seem to find any information if Fristam FL100 L pump is self priming and if yes, how mush suction head it can provide. So if you have this information i would appriceiate it if you could share :-) --- Best regards, Morten Andersen
