Considering different thermal expansion between carbon steel and say, Inconel, how do they deal with anticipated deformation when internal surface of CS pipeline is cladding with Inconel?
I'm going to calculate (or analyze via FEM) maximum stress in a jackscrew which is used to make space for removing a valve sandwiched between two flages. I know tightening torque on that machine bolt is at first low but it will increase as far as isolating space is increased.
So, how can I...

I was reading this thread and with regard to OP question:
I think, at that time maybe for pipes larger than 24" the available vendor of fiberglass pipe did not have an oven large enough to cure larger-than-24"-pipes. Therefore, the choice between not-cured GRVE and CS with...

There are several vapor recovery lines, which are used at gasoline loading bays. During the day, lots of tankers come and go and there is an on/off valve in vapor recovery lines that shall be normally closed unless a tanker is stopped for loading and at this time, its line shall be opened by...
Hi there,
In a complex petrochemical plant with a lot of piping, it's obvious that modeling all of the piping in a CAESAR II job is not a wise approach. But, is there any guideline/s for selection of lines that fall into a single job? Considering a pump station within a complex refinery, which...
I was wondering how many engineering software diminished during these years.

Why piping codes (such as ASME B31.3) deal only with "Hydrostatic Test"? Isn't it possible to have some requirements for dynamic aspect of piping test before its operation (e.g. piping connected to the pumps)?

Hi everybody,
Is there any guideline available for writing an Engineering Failure Analysis Report, by institutes such as API, ASME, ASTM or by an experienced person?

Hi Piping Professionals,
I'm wondering whether this "invaluable" book needs new edition considering changes that has applied to ASME B31.3 during these times (first edition, 2009).
(Actually, I haven't opportunity to read this book completely, yet and I considered that book "invaluable" by...
Hi everybody,
I should be grateful if somebody reference me to a ASTM's list of killed carbon steels.
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
Is there any ISO standard (similar to ISO 12944 which is dedicated to Paints and varnishes, Corrosion protection of steel structures by protective paint systems) that deals with thermal insulation of piping.
Any helpful comments will be highly appreciated.

Hi everybody,
Does anybody have any reference to paint/coat decision making flowchart? What is the main parameters in selection of protection system? I think the starting question should be whether it is onshore or offshore. What is the other hierarchically questions?
