In pressure relief systems, accurately estimating temperature changes during fluid flow is vital for relief piping ...

Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through the orifice; bypassing involves routing part of the flow ...

Midland Manufacturing of Skokie, Ill, a Dover Corp. company and supplier of valves and level-measurement devices for the rail tank car market since 1951, is among the equipment manufacturers on a CBR ...

Pressure relief valves (PRVs) are a critical line of defense for pressure vessel protection in the power industry. Generating facilities worldwide depend upon these devices to sense and quickly ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

A major automotive manufacturer faced a significant setback when working on a new design for their Electric Drive Module (EDM). When in-house pressure relief valves failed to repeatably crack open ...

For the past 15 years, pilot-operated safety relief valves (POSRVs) have effectively and reliably protected economizers on Section I power boilers in overpressure situations, working in tandem with ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

Learn about the proper location for those valves, managing blowoff steam and turbine exhaust, and more. Very few deaerators utilize vessels that are not constructed and stamped in accordance with ASME ...
