While several methods exist for sizing collector pipes on steam lines, the results obtained from the various approaches can be quite different. This article will show how design parameters can be used ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Piping systems are often not self-supporting because of routing, length, and weight factors. Weight loads include the weights of pipes, ...

Pipe and tubing are used when rigid lines are preferred. No matter which conductor is used, certain requirements must be met. The line must be large enough to carry the flow required, and it must be ...

Higher flow velocities lead to better water quality by increasing residual disinfectants and reducing microbial activity and nitrification Smaller diameter pipes (3/8") benefit most from high flow ...

The Castle Rock, Colo., town council has approved the adoption of IAPMO’s Water Demand Calculator as an alternative methodology for sizing water pipes in single and multifamily buildings. A ...

Among a service tech’s many responsibilities is to pipe together refrigeration system components. When piping a system together, a technician must decide which pipe size to use — it’s not always as ...

A lightweight, CSV-driven Python toolkit for hydraulic dimensioning of branched (radial) district heating (DH) networks using the Pressure Gradient / Target Pressure Loss method. The repository ...
