The fiberglass and thermoplastic piping are often used for abrasive and corrosive fluids. They are generally applied where the temperature range moves from 70 degree F to 300° F. The chemical compatibility becomes a particular consideration for these applications, not only for expansion joint but also for piping system. This is a criterion that both have to function with the similar resistance when the problems will arise. The mechanical and thermal expansion is 2 times more than 4 times that of steel. Another important design consideration is the strength of the non-metallic pipes that can decrease rapidly with increased temperature. (more…)

Pipelines are of great importance in the industrial application since it aids in transporting the liquids, fluids and gases. For the proper functioning of these pipelines, valves are required for them to commute well, attached with a regulating unit. This regulating unit not only ensures the amount of liquid to flow but it also stops them as per requirement. In nutshell, valves are a mechanical device which acts as a regulating medium, either completely or partially to control the flow of the liquids. (more…)

For any fluid moving application or pumping system check valve is the most important component. These valves are the first line of protection that can cause severe problems for pumping system and pumps.
The backflow motion is flow down of water in opposite direction under the influence of gravity. Most of the pumps operate depending on amount of water that is required to be pumped at a given time. The pump will turn on and off in a continuous manner, if water flows back to pump basin. This leads to improper pump sequencing and ultimately causing burnout. The situation can be avoided by this type of valve. (more…)
In metallic expansion joints, the application of insulation helps to diminish heat loss in the piping system. But in case of rubber expansion joints it is a bad idea. These joints consist of variety of rubber types like (oil based) elastomer , EPDM ( ethylene propelyne ,diene ,monomer) , CMS which is combined with polyster in order to afford pressure restraining capability.
If the user install these expansion joints in typical system, then insulation of hot application need to be considered to avoid failures that results from heat contact. (more…)

Expansion joints are specially designed for insertion into the rigid piping system for numerical purpose. The life expectance of the expansion joint is defined by Full Load Cycles that can be achieved during its lifetime. The Full Load Cycle is the movement throughout the complete range of compression to deflection and return to the original position of expansion joint.
The maximum movement of the joint occurs at the time of full load of the system. Sometimes systems shut down periodically but does not cool completely, which leads to 50 % of design movement of the machine. The system may have daily temperature cycles, which produces the movement equal to 10% of maximum working of the machine (more…)

The thought of pulley can bring the conventional picture of industrial use to one’s mind. Thinking of ropes and pulleys, one immediately gets an idea of it being required to pull up any sort of heavy objects, increasing the mechanical advantage in rope or wire type system. Multiple pulleys along with single fixed pulleys provide better mechanical advantage; however, less system efficiency is seen since each of these pulleys loses certain amount of force due to friction.

The jaw coupling designs consist of two hubs and an elastic spider. The spider is manufactured with advanced polyurethane material, thus minimizing shock to motors, dampening the impulsive load for sensitive equipments. These spiders allow the users to customize the performance of this coupling. The jaws mesh in a loose manner as the two hubs are brought together.
Selecting a soft spider will provide the coupling with great dampening characteristic, while hard spider will provide the strength and great torque capacity. If there is failure of spider the jaw of the two hubs interlocks with each other thus allowing direct transmission of power and at the same time allowing the application to shut down safely for maintenance.

The primary purpose of coupling is to join two pieces of rotating equipment while allowing to transmit power. Normally couplings do not allow shafts to disconnect during the functioning of the machine. However, there are torque, which limits the couplings to slip or disconnect when the RPM exceeds due to which some degree of misalignment has been seen. (more…)
