What is a Flange?

<<There are basically eight (8) types of flanges - weldneck flanges, slip-on
flanges, lap joint flanges, threaded flanges, socket weld flanges, reducing flanges, blind flanges and orifice flanges.>>

Piping Expansion & Contraction - And How to Deal With It

<<When designing piping systems, either water or steam, thermal expansion &
contraction must be anticipated. Chilled water lines will contract, heating lines will expand. Control of expansion & contraction is imperative and is typically accomplished by using anchors and expansion joints (loops).>>

Piping Expansion & Contraction - How to Design For It

<<The previous "tip of the week" spoke about forces created by pipe
expansion & contraction. Now we discuss how to design to accommodate it - via application of expansion joints & anchors.>>

Early Steam Tracing
Insulation Outlook

<<For decades, steam tracing has been an accepted practice in the heating of
piping, vessels and equipment. Steam tracing has been used in industrial processing plants for over a century. Early on, steam jacketing and tubular tracing became the chosen means of keeping the contents of pipes at required temperatures. As refineries and chemical plants expanded in size and product diversity following World War II, electric-tracing methods were developed to provide thermostatic control for low-temperature and heat-sensitive materials. There are applications where one method may show to advantage over the other, but today steam tracing continues to be the most widely used method of heat tracing in industrial plants around the world.>>

Understanding Underground Pipe Insulation National Insulation Association

Storage Tank Piping and Product Handling Systems ECS Risk Control

<<Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) usually have aboveground and/or
underground piping systems for product loading, unloading and transfer. Important aspects of piping systems for storage tank systems include materials of construction, system design, inspection, maintenance, leak prevention and detection, and standards and guidelines.>>

Bulk Gas Systems
Project Consultants Inc.

<<Bulk gas systems deliver nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen, or any other
gas than can be stored in a liquid phase. The expansion rate of the gas determines the maximum flow when the gas is converted from the liquid phase. This allows large amounts of the gas to be delivered as a "house" gas. This section of the training manual will discuss the methods, types, and materials of bulk gas systems. In addition, this section will discuss sizing methods and design of the house piping systems.>>

Toxic Gas Design
Project Consultants Inc.

<<Toxic gas design has changed over the last two code upgrades, including
the design issues brought forth by the adoption of the toxic gas ordinance. This section of the training manual will explain the rules and regulations of the codes and show interpretations of what the codes mean. Along with this section is the TGO Chart showing what Project Consultants Inc. recommends for piping materials, exhaust methods, and gas detection methods.>> Received on Fri Jul 14 16:47:00 2000
