    MAWP and MAOP

    Hello, Can somebody tell me what is the difference between MAWP (for working pressure), MAOP (for operating pressure) and design pressure? For me, I think MAWP < MAOP < Design P, what do you think? Thanks a lot!

    Massic fractions

    Hello, I have a problem to calculate a massic composition: I have 357.28 kg/h of a gas composed by: CH4 : 88.1859% (massic) CO2 : 10.1861% N2 : 1.6209% H2O : 0.0042% H2S : 0.0030% I will pass my gas in an adsorber (molecular sieve) to reduce elimante HO and reduce CO2 and H2S and I will have...

    Design an adsorption column for CO2

    Hello, I would like to design an adsorption column (tower?) for CO2 adsorption and for that, I'm looking for the suitable kind of adsorbant for CO2. For the moment, I have found some articles speaking about zeolite 13X (?), zeolite 4A (?) and activated carbon, but I didn't found any...

    MAWP and design pressure

    I am reading right now the API 520 that I found very interesting... Well, in this document, they specify a difference between the MAWP and the design pressure; It is said that "MAWP is normally greater than the design pressure". Is it the same rule everywhere I go or could it change from company...

    Piping classes

    Hello everybody! Can anyone tell me why the primary rating are: 150# 300# 400# 600# 900# 1500# 2500#? Why there is not 200# or 1000# or any other number...? How did we get these numbers? I'm sure there is an explanation like for the ND of pipes (coming from Renard series). Thanks a lot! Méli :o)

    Nozzles and Instruments on datasheet

    Hello, I have to complete some datasheets with all the design calculations I have. For this, I have to specify all the nozzles and instruments that are on my equipments: Nozzles are indicated by N1, N2, N3...and so on...Logical: N for nozzle...:o) Instruments like "level gauges", "Pressure or...

    Operating, Design and Overdesign values

    Hello, When one wants to design any equipment, we define the OPERATING (which are the real ones) and the DESIGN (which are with 5% or 10% more to the operating ones) values of T and P. I thought that : OPERATING values = DESIGN values OVERDESIGN values = DESIGN values + 5/10% But I think...
