    FRP (GRE) Piping - Installation by burying

    Currently, I am experiencing pipe leakage due to the pipe movement in between valve pits. I wonder how to arrest this kind of movement so that the pipe will not be 'pushing' against the concrete walls of the pits and cracking itself. How different is it as compared to steel pipes burying? Are...

    FRP (GRE) Piping - Installation by burying

    But for GRE behaviour towards hydrocarbon (middle distillates) and water, is there a huge difference between the 2 medium? i.e will presence of hydrocarbon in such GRE piping causes more movement as compared with water. Also is it a good idea to use nitrogen to test for leaks in the piping or...

    FRP (GRE) Piping - Installation by burying

    If FRP pipes are to be buried. The thickness of the FRP pipe is to be determined and recommended by the supplier of the FRP pipes? How is it being determined? Appreciate if someone can recommend industrial standards which will assist on the above question.

    mass flow meter drifting from actual reading

    Talking about this. My site do have this problem. Its like after issuing the product to a truck. All the valves are shut. But from the control room, it shows that there is flow in the meter. Its really weird. The worst thing is that the meter can go reverse without any flow. Not sure if it is...

    Inspections, checks or calibration for components on filter vessels

    Anybody knows the frequency of inspection, testing, calibrating the pressure relief valves on filter water separators? Normally there is also an air eliminator on the vessel and does that component requires checks and testing as well. If so, what is the frequency that is required? Hope to hear...

    Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) piping and Jet Fuel

    But have API or ASTM came out with a standard for FRP pipes for petroleum use? Is offshore piping standard ISO14692 applicable for on the land piping construction?

    Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) piping and Jet Fuel

    Just curious. Can I base on the AWWA standards to construct a fuel distribution system? One is water/sewage and the other is petroleum. Will it compromise things like safety, and environmental impacts?

    Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) piping and Jet Fuel

    Is there any article or write-ups regarding the above subject? Just curious have anyone really venture into large scale implementation using FRP pipes instead of steel piping for Jet A-1 (or equivalent)?

    Pump Vibration

    Is there any standards that will provide some guidance on how to reduce pump(or turbomachinery) vibrations?
