I am designing a digester gas system and am considering using stainless steel piping rather than carbon steel. I have seen 304 and 304L used as well as 316. What are the advantages of each and what would be the optimum material with respect to corrosion resistance?
Any recommendations or...
Can anyone recommend 2 or 3 sources for steel gate, globe and check valves as well as y-strainers? I have piping systems 3-8" with 250 deg F 50/50 ethylene glycol and water solutions for cooling systems.
Hi - I want to specifify a long bend or long sweep type for all of the 90 deg elbows in a cooling water system. What are the definitions (if any exist) for:
(1) Standard Bend
(2) Long Bend
(3) Pipe Bend
How do I specifiy these - is there a convention for the bend radius or?? My syste will...
I am reviewing the design for the cooling system for some small (2 MW) emergency diesel generators. The jacket water is circulated through remote mounted horizontal radiators - which is a typical arrangement. However, I noticed that the design was changed to orientate the radiators with air...
