    FRP tank Inspection

    My company actually used a vendor that specializes in fiberglass to conduct ultrasonic readings on a fiberglass pressure vessel a few weeks back to document/determine the remaining design strength of the resin from holding corrosive chemicals. Granted NDE methods for fiberglass doesn't seem as...

    Pipe Stress Engineering at a Plant

    dhengr, Thanks for your advice. I would only be using my knowledge for basics on non-critical service applications where there would otherwise only be rule of thumb engineering. Our senior engineers generally know when to farm out the critical services to engineering firms that specialize in...

    Pipe Stress Engineering at a Plant

    XL86NL, Thanks, I needed some positive reinforcement on this subject. I've read some past threads saying that you bascially need a senior stress engineer to progress in this trade. So for right now I'm going to try to learn as much as I can on my own at this current time.

    Pipe Stress Engineering at a Plant

    Hi all, I have been working for an industrial plant for about a year now as a plant engineer. I frequently come across projects where I have to input piping attached to mechanical equipment. Our process is generally the following: sketch a pipe drawing, give sketch to drafter, and install...

    Plant Engineering Advice

    GHartmann, I appreciate the perspective you have given me from another plant. Your advice has motivated me to incorporate more engineering thought and calculations into these type of projects despite that not seemingly being the norm for our department. I can see the benefit of performing my...

    Plant Engineering Advice

    Hi all, I have been working at a industrial plant for about a year now, and I have had some projects in specifying pressure vessels and tanks, as well as inputting piping. I feel really unmotivated when I get these types of projects due to the fact that I am just acting as a liaison from the...

    Branch-Line Pumping with Multiple Pumps

    So, I've done some thinking with your input and came up with this theory: -P1 initially pumps a certain Static Pressure to Point P2s without Pump 2 on. -We turn Pump 2 on -Once we reach steady state, the Pressure P2s will decrease to 0 psig at the flow rate that Pump 2 will operate at since it...

    Branch-Line Pumping with Multiple Pumps

    ARHeit, I'm fairly new to Pipe-flo, so I'll give that another try. Artisi, My mistake on the sketch; there should be a closed valve in the header between the suction and discharge line of P2, so P2 should be in series. With your advice, I've considered that since I have added P2 I have...

    Branch-Line Pumping with Multiple Pumps

    Hi eng-tips, I have a project to install a booster pump into our existing cooling tower water system, and I would like your assistance on understanding the theory behind adding in a pump in series to one of the branches. I have attached a sample drawing. The following will include reference to...
