What is a Sockolet used for? Sockolet is used for 90 degree self-reinforcing branch accessories for pipe line fitting. As its names represent how that will connect to the run pipe (header pipe). Sockolet is a type of self-reinforced branch fitting developed by a company called Bonney Forge. And this is suitable for small bore […]
Definition of Weldolet? Weldolet fitting is one of the most common types of piping components and this is a type of Olets. This is used for take branch connection from run pipe lines to branch pipe line and connected by butt weld welding process with 90° branch connection. In weldolet both ends will be beveled, mostly […]

The roles, skills, and responsibilities change according to his carrier […]
ASME B16.5 Introductions This is an American standard for pipe flanges and flanges fitting to size NPS 1/2 through NPS 24 metric/inch, all temperature pressure, dimension, tolerance and materials, and its testing and methods of designate opening of pipes flanges and fittings cover within its. For example flange rating class designated as follow 150, 300, […]
Smart manufacturing industry 4.0 and IoT Industry 4.0 and IoT (Internet of Things) are the two most prevalent buzzwords in the world of technology. With the implementation of advanced technologies, like Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, etc., the manufacturing industry has seen a significant transformation. There is phenomenal improvement in the operational efficiency and workflow of […]
Troubleshooting of the Piston valve Troubleshooting refers to the process of identifying, analyzing, and resolving problems or issues in a system or process. It involves a systematic approach to identify the root cause of a problem or failure and then implementing appropriate solutions to rectify the issue. Troubleshooting can be applied to a wide range […]
Bolt flange selection chart In this chapter Pipe flange dimensions and details will be covered in ASME B16.5 – In this standard, consider Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings for size NPS ½” to 24”. More than 24″, from NPS 26” to 60” should be in ASME B16.47. Here only given details for 150 and 300 […]
What are the gear couplings? Gear coupling Gear couplings are the type of flexible coupling and mostly use for high torque transmission for heavy machinery (positive displacement pump, gearbox, pump) and excess speed application as well. This type of coupling designed to transmit torque between two non-collinear equipment shafts, and with the help of two […]
Installation guide for grid Coupling The installation guide for grid coupling provided by the manufacturer, in which torque settings for tightening of the set screws and bolts are also described within it. Some installations guide may contain additional data and dimensional information as well. The grid coupling is the assembly of two shaft hubs, grid, […]
What is fluid coupling? A fluid coupling or hydraulic coupling is a hydrodynamic or hydrokinetic equipment that can transmit power and torque with the help of liquid (hydraulic oil). It belongs to the category of flexible coupling power transmission. This is based on hydrodynamic torque transmission device. It is the assembly of pump impeller, casing […]
What is rigid coupling? Rigid coupling Rigid coupling is used only whenever the misalignment between equipment shafts is very less or no misalignment is present in the system. When the equipment is appropriate to carry the reactionary load produced from trying to flex rigid couplings. This type of coupling mostly prefers for vertical applications such […]
Butterfly valve (API 609) Butterfly valve is also called a quarter turn valve, this type of valve used for shutoff, regulating and starting the flow. The operation is either in open condition or fully closed of the disc in side body. In some applications it is also used as an alternative to a ball or […]
What is a globe valve? A globe valve is a linear motion valve and used for control, regulate, start or stop the flow inside the piping system of the fluid. The disk of the globe valve can be totally pulled out from the way of fluid flow and it has perpendicular to the flow motion. […]
What is the gate valve used for? Gate valve used for isolation of the piping system, also known as the isolation valve. Due to the working principle during the operation, it will either be in fully closed condition or in fully opened. The main benefit of gate valves in piping systems is to minimize frictional […]
Types of Valve Valves are mechanical devices that control the flow of fluids (liquids, gases, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing passageways. There are various types of valves designed for different applications, and they are categorized based on their function, design, and the industry they serve. Additionally, valves are subject to various codes […]
