Performance Characteristics of Industrial Insulation Pittsburgh Corning Corporation

<< The role of an insulation system is to provide thermal resistance under sometimes harsh environmental and service conditions. Ironically, these very same conditions can degrade an insulation system which can cause a number of problems including: process control, compromised personnel protection, equipment damage and increased operating costs. But, before we address the issues involved with heat transfer within an insulation system, let's first define the ways in which heat can be transferred. >>

"Piping Construction Costs" Estimation Software practicalengineering.com

<<Piping Constructions Costs operates off of an Excel( Excel 5.0 thru Excel 2000!) spreadsheet format. The program provides for practical and rapid estimation of installed pipeline costs in most industrial and commercial applications such as: Chemical Plants, Power Plants, Refineries, Factories, Schools, hospitals, etc. The program is ideal for process engineers, project engineers, plant engineers, piping designers and the like. Virtually anyone associated with determining the costs for a small or large piping installation will benefit from this simple program. Chemical Engineers, Petroleum Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, etc. have all found the program to be easy and effective in generating rapid cost estimates. All you do is fill in the "cells" in the spreadsheet, typing in the number, size, material of construction, schedule or rating for each length of piping, fittings, flanges, valves, etc. Then click on a button to calculate either the cost for all pipelines or the cost for any individual pipeline. Within seconds you get the material and installation costs. It is impossible for the program to be simpler to use!!>> Received on Tue Sep 05 22:51:00 2000
