CSI Bolt-On Technology
Controls Southeast, Inc.

<<Historically, the chemical industry has defaulted to one of two ways
to maintain process temperatures - fabricated jacketed systems or tube tracing. Often the process requirements of our customers are such that the expense of a jacketed system is excessive, but the performance capability of tube tracing is inadequate. So, CSI developed two bolt-on heating products. ControHeat and ControTrace, which provide unique benefits that the traditional systems cannot. As a general rule, CSI Bolt-On technology will provide equivalent thermal maintenance in 80% of the applications where jacketed pipe is used. The CSI Bolt-On System provides considerably higher thermal performance than electrical or tube tracing.>>

Piping Flow Rate Design for Retail Refueling Facilities Fiberglass Tank & Pipe Institute

<<Piping selection considerations for a retail motor fuel dispensing
facility should include a flow rate criteria to fuel vehicles at the maximum Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allowable of 10 gallons per minute during peak traffic periods. High-volume consumers (e. g., commuters and commercial accounts), are sensitive to the time it takes to refuel their vehicles, and they represent a significant market segment. While hydraulic flow rate calculations may be made on a site-specific basis, the purpose of this paper is to describe the major factors that reduce flow rate, how the three most common materials used to manufacture piping affect these flow rate factors, and cite flow rate "rules of thumb" for small and large retail vehicle refueling facilities based on the most commonly used piping systems.>>

Piping for Sand Filter Systems
Mer-Made Filter, Inc.

<<The piping arrangements possible when using sand filters are extremely
flexible. This can be very helpful when laying out a new or retrofit system since the influent, effluent and backwash connections can be configured to match the way the pipes come from and return to the pool.>> Received on Wed Oct 11 16:01:00 2000
