Why is the Gap needed on Socket Welds
The socket weld is a pipe attachment detail in which a pipe is inserted into a recessed area of a valve, fitting, or flange. The joint construction is a good choice wherever the benefits of high leakage integrity and great structural strength are important design considerations. Advantages of Socket Weld Pipe Fittings The socket weld pipe fittings can be used in place of threaded fittings, so the risk of leakage is much smaller. Socket weld pipe need not be beveled for weld preparation. The weld metal can not penetrate into the bore of the pipe. Construction costs are lower than with butt-welded joints due … Continue reading Why is the Gap needed on Socket Welds

Thermal Insulation Calculation Guide
Thermal insulation is installed on almost every piping system and much of the plant equipment at power generation facilities. It not only saves energy, but also helps protect against freezing, and more. Thermal insulation is mainly used to limit heat loss from hot surfaces and heat gain on cold surfaces. Basic Heat Transfer Calculations Refer to this document: Heat flows in the direction of the temperature gradient and the relationships governing heat flow depend on whether the heat transfer is occurring by conduction, convection, or radiation. These mechanisms for heat transfer are discussed below with sources of equations, such as … Continue reading Thermal Insulation Calculation Guide
