Thank you very much. I should have thought of that. So a pressure reading taken perpendicular to the flow direction will provide the static pressure only, right?
Potentially a very stupid question coming up:
Why does a pump curve (or at least the ones I've seen) not have total pressure and...
Hi,
This combustion air forced draft fan curve has two lines labelled Pt and Ps (or Pg?). Looks like it's from an Italian vendor. Is anybody familiar with these subscripts and could they please explain what they mean? Are the two lines simply two different fan sizes (similar to impeller size on...
Thank you all for your comments.
We are proceeding by requesting the client to confirm that they are happy with the 3% limit to be breached in this non-governing case. My reasoning, along the lines of Chance17, is that the valve is extremely unlikely to ever see the rated flow of water at...
Hi all,
What is the generally accepted procedure for dealing with the following scenario:
I am checking adequacy of a currently installed relief valve on an existing separator vessel, for reverse water flow from a new vessel to be hooked up downstream. I have calculated that the required...
Thank you for the reply.
As we are limited in the HP vent header diameter, and not being able to easily move equipment around, I incorporated line losses to provide justification for leaving the piping to header the same size.
Incidentally, after recieving vendor information on a desander unit...
Hi all,
I am a recent process engineering graduate working on sizing a degasser vessel relief valve. I am looking at the case where we have gas breakthrough from upstream (due to fail-open of FCV) that could potentially overpressure the vessel.
My question: Is it usual to take into account...
I am a very inexperienced engineer working on an offshore gas platform design and need help using IP15 to assign Hazardous Area Classifications to a sand bin as part of a Produced Water management system.
Basically we have proposed vented bins be used to store sand emptied from a Sand...
