Anyone have suggestions on a good company for engineering slug catchers? We have a slug catcher made by a company which is not working for our operating conditions. The manufacturer for it seems unwilling to help, so we want to have another company review the design and give modification...
Does anyone have ideas on how to reduce pump outlet pressure? We recently installed a pair of pumps (primary & backup up operation) which are delivering 80 psig pressure where we were expecting about 50-60 psig. I'm not sure why it's building that much pressure, but need to know ways/ideas on...
Does anyone know a good source on the web for accurate equivalent lengths of pipe fittings. I have searched & located several sites, but they all seem to vary significantly & especially compared to sample values in my mechanical engineering reference manual. I especially want to know the...
Does anyone know what the acronym "WPHY" stands for in regards to pipe fittings?
From my research it appears the the "HY" stands for high yield (strength). If that is true, then what about the "WP"?
Has anyone ever replaced the starter for a GE Frame 3? We have several of these units at a couple of facilities. They were initially installed with Elliott Steam turbine starters (circa 1960's). Some of those steam starters were replaced with Coppus gas turbine starters in the 90's.
We are...
can anyone tell me what typical exhaust temperatures (at the header) would be for a 4-cylinder normally aspirated, gas-fired engine.
secondly, what about that same engine with a factory turbo installed? (e.g. mitsubishi eclipses 1990 - 1999 models, lancers,.. ) would there be a dramatic temp...
Does anyone know if there is a minimum height requirement for a concrete wall secondary containment for AGHST's?
I have read that the containment volume should be adequate to contain the volume of the largest tank plus have sufficient freeboard for a 100 year storm event (for a 24 hr period?) &...

I recently placed an order with a tank manufacturer for a UL-142 AGHST with a site glass. In replying with the shop drawing (for approval) he wrote the below message:
"we did not list any openings for a sight gauge on this shop drawing. It is not recommended to have openings below the liquid...

does anyone know if a horizontal, aboveground, lube oil tank at atmospheric pressure needs an internal coating? or is this something that is done as a "best practice"?
is there a spec which requires this coating (or corrosion allowance)? if so can someone tell me what it states?
thanks,
kgj

i plan to install an above-ground, lube oil storage tank. the client wants this tank to be elevated high enough to tie into an existing oil header line without using a pump (i.e. gravity-fed).
The planned setup is: a 2000 gallon tank will be located outside; approximately 40 feet of 1"...

i need to determine the max volume (capacity) of nat gas across a couple of valves. this seemed simple enough, get the valve constant from mfg and plug into eqn:
Cv = (Q/1360) * [(2*G*T)/(deltaP*(P1-P2))]^0.5
i contacted one mfg and got their valve constant, but the other mfg (Grove) told me...
how would i calculate the capacity for a piece of equipment which has a MOP of 800# and it's MAWP is 110% of that - 880#. the relief valve is set for 850#.
from API 520, the total relieving pressure equals set pressure + 10% of set pressure + atmospheric, then obviously it would exceed the...
