We have drain (normally closed) and pressure instrument connections in the straight pipe run upstream and downstream of check valves. Do these fittings (ex. weldolets, reducing tees) cause turbulent flow? What mathematical formula will prove the configuration is turbulence-free?
Regards,
During installation of a SS control valve it was found that the hex nut is in contact with the body of the control valve. This happened because an insulating gasket (i.e. dissimilar material and raw water service) is used in the flanged connection; thereby, it increased the bolt length causing...
NFPA 12 requires the installation of pressure relief device in closed piping sections of the fixed CO2 extinguishing system. My question is: Does the standard requires a block valve in the relieving path of the pressure relief device?
My project inspectors raised the alarm that the use of any lubricants (i.e. light grease) on the gasket/gasket seating area of the RJ flanged assembly is not allowed and they referred me to ASME PCC-1 of the violation committed by my contractor. In defense, my contractor responded that this...
