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
What is the ASTM A106 standard? ASTM A106 is used as a standard of seamless carbon steel pipe and tubes for high-temperature service, like steams 750 degrees F and others. ASTM A106 is equivalent to ASME SA106 or also called ASME SA106 as a second name. It is mostly used in refineries, chemical industries, and
What is ASTM A105? In mechanical ASTM A105 is the same as calling ASME SA 105 under ASME/ANSI B16.5 standard. This is the material grade that is used for carbon steel piping, which covers only seamless forged carbon steel piping components. Generally, it is used for the manufacture of forge piping accessories, like elbow, reducer,
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
What is a SORF Flange? SOFR flanges are essential components of many pipelines, machines and other equipments. A SORF flange (Slip On Raise Face) is a type of flange that is designed to be easily installed with welding or bolting. It comprises four parts– two raised faces, a hub bore, and bolts or studs used
Installation of mechanical seal Ensuring a seamless mechanical seal installation involves a meticulous adherence to various checkpoints. Prior to disassembling equipment, secure the necessary permits from the company and strictly follow the safety guidelines outlined in the JSA and RA. Embrace the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) specified in the permits. Implement the Lockout-Tagout
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
Shaft Coupling Shaft coupling is a mechanical element which is in two halves and that is used to connect the two different machines. These mechanics may pump and motor, pump and turbine, pump and gearbox and motor as per use requirement. Its selection plays a very important role for equipment reliability and availability for operation.
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
