𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻?✧ Pitting corrosion can be a major problem for metals, causing small pits or holes that weaken their structure.✧ Pitting corrosion is more aggressive than uniform corrosion as it concentrates corrosive elements at specific sites. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘀?✧ Pitting corrosion happens when a metal’s protective layer breaks down, allowing harmful substances to attack the surface and create small pits.✧ This occurs due to imperfections on the metal surface, contamination, or physical damage.✧ The affected areas dissolve, while the rest of the metal remains relatively unaffected. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁?We can use these techniques:1️⃣ Visual Inspection: Simply looking … Continue reading Pitting corrosions

Some of the aspects addressed in this standard for pipe layout include: 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬: The 𝘈𝘚𝘔𝘌 𝘉31.3 standard specifies the minimum and maximum allowable spacing between pipes. This includes the spacing between parallel pipes and intersecting pipes. The objective is to ensure there is enough space for access, maintenance, and repair of the pipes. The purpose of specifying pipe … Continue reading Piping arrangement, gap, space, and layouts

Hydrates are crystallized, compact, porous and rather light mass, similar to compressed snow. They are made of water, hydrocarbons, H2S and CO2. Unlike ice, hydrates have an unusual characteristic: they form at a temperature that is above water freezing point . For instance, they can form at 20 °C at particular pressures. When they are exposed to air, they dissolve chugging and fizzing because of the gas that is more or less slowly freed according to the surrounding temperature. When they are lit in the air, they can slowly and completely burn, until they leave a small residue of water. … Continue reading What is Hydrates?

The qualification of welding procedures is necessary to ensure that the selected welding parameters can produce sound welds and complying with project specification.  Qualification typically involves a combination of destructive and nondestructive testing (DT and NDT).  When a particular code, such as AWS D1.1 or ASME Section IX is used, the code will indicate the type and numbers of tests necessary in order to qualify the welding procedure. But incase of you are not required to follow specific codes or standards, it is advisable that you do some kind of testing if you are developing a new procedure.  Many fabricators … Continue reading How to qualify a Welding Procedure
