<p>The first step dorm designing a heat exchanger is to understand where it will be used for.</p><p>Application is most important criteria and mostly its input from client.</p><p>Application demands understanding of functionaries expected, duty needed, properties of both side fluids, system information e.g presuredrop expected, cleaning method of the equipment, hazard category, local laws pertaining to […]
Yup, just a brief on this subject. Heat exchangers are devices used to transfer heat energy from one fluid to another, gas to gas or gas to liquid. Typical heat exchangers are seen around in most unexpected location. From household appliances as air conditioners, refrigerator etc. Boilers and condensers in thermal power plants are examples […]
If you Google the word you will get morecthan a billion results. That just shows how it closely associated to industry, to us. But at the same time ut shows how wast the subject is. The purpose of next few blows is to simplify your search by telling you what to ask and where to […]
Past few months I was thinking of creating a post on heatexchangers. I think now is the time when i can write a bit on this subject. There are numerous sites available which will explain verwell about this subject. But as usual they lack the subject matter. What we all are interested in. The […]
I was studing some heads for a while, and thougth to summarise the variety in one go… 1. Flanged Head : Normally found in Vessel opertaing at low pressure, genrally water tanks, Boilers etc. They are also used in high pressure application where the diameter is small. 2. Hemispherical Head : Generally, the required thickness […]

B 31.3 is an ASME code for Process piping, Multiple time we come across situation, where we need to calculate the design pressure for a pipe. In such cases, ASME VIII-Div-1 seems helpless, and B 31-3 comes for rescue. Clause 304.1.2 talks about Straight pipe under internal pressure, Where, P > […]
Scope & Responsibility: Let’s start with comparing the scope & Responsibilities for various codes. Following table will give an overview Characteristics ASME VIII-Div-1 EN 13445 GB-150 Scope Ref ASME VIII-1 U-1 Pressure Not exceeding 20 MPa U-1(d) Design by Formula Minimum pressure 15 psi (g) [1 bar(g)] Minimum -ve pressure 15 psi (g) [1bar(g)] […]
With my next feeds, I’ll be comparing following Code on various aspects European Code : EN 13445 American Code : ASME Section VIII Div. 1 German Code: AD : 2000 Chinese Code: GB: 150 Keep watching!
