I'm not sure if this post is appropriate, but I just had to ask.
Does anyone have an idea of what this multi-branch 'teelateral' would be for (assuming it's not a joke)?

These photos were taken at Paulin Research Group in Houston a few years ago.
Does anyone know how many Markl machines are in existence?

What are your comments on his thoughts about the correct orientation of FOB/FOT?

As you...
In areas that have risk of damage from, uh, let's say, ballistic violence or non-internal pressure-induced explosions, why aren't the lines buried?
Is it a cost factor?
It would seem to me that technology advances in trenching would make this more economical especially if combined with sensors...

What is the difference between these terms on a P&ID:
-Free draining
-No pockets
-Slope
All of these refer to the concept of preventing (via piping

For steam service, bottom flat reducers upstream of control valves are recommended to minimize the possible accumulation of condensate and sediment.
Is the same configuration preferred for other fluids as well?
One other reason for FOB (flat on bottom) reducers in control stations with up and...
