Heat exchanges… Google way.

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

Heads as per ASME : Quick overview

Process Piping Pressure Calculation : B31-3

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 >

Code Comparison : Discussion:1

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)]
