    Odd Teelateral Purpose

    I'm not sure if this post is appropriate, but I just had to ask. Does anyone have an idea of what this multi-branch 'teelateral' would be for (assuming it's not a joke)? I'd have called it an octo-tee or something, but there appears to be more than eight branches.

    Pipeline Sabotage

    In areas that have risk of damage from, uh, let's say, ballistic violence or non-internal pressure-induced explosions, why aren't the lines buried? Is it a cost factor? It would seem to me that technology advances in trenching would make this more economical especially if combined with sensors...

    PSV Discharge Piping

    What is the difference between these terms on a P&ID: -Free draining -No pockets -Slope All of these refer to the concept of preventing (via piping configuration) liquid build-up (possibly due to condensation) downstream of the safety valve in order to avoid backpressure on the PSV spring...

    Control Valves and Eccentric Reducers

    For steam service, bottom flat reducers upstream of control valves are recommended to minimize the possible accumulation of condensate and sediment. Is the same configuration preferred for other fluids as well? One other reason for FOB (flat on bottom) reducers in control stations with up and...
