THE PIPING MATERIAL SELECTION GUIDE FOR APLICATIONS

The Piping Material Selection Guide for Process Systems, as the title states, is a guide for the piping engineer who is faced with the challenge of choosing the correct piping materials of construction. The list of codes and standards in ASME B31.3 that apply to process plant design is huge, and it is impossible to cover them all in one book. Instead I use ASME B31.3 as the basic construction code, and I briefly touch on the most significant codes and standards applicable to the design of the plant.

The EPC contractor is responsible for having all the necessary codes and standards available at all times during the design, construction, and commissioning of the plant. These standards must be the final reference point, and the objective of this book is to guide the piping engineer to that point. Although the function of a piping material engineer is driven by code and specifications, there is no substitute for all-around experience. This can be gained from several areas: the design office, a manufacturer’s facility, the fabrication yard, as well as the job site. Exposure to as many of these facets of the process industry as possible is beneficial to the growth of an engineer’s professional development. Each sector has its own characteristics, and knowledge of one aids the comprehension the others.

The design office is where the project evolves and is engineered and developed on paper. A manufacturer’s facility is were the numerous individual components essential for construction of the project are built. For piping this includes pipe, fittings, flanges, valves, bolts, gaskets, and the like. In the fabrication yard, the welded piping components are ‘‘spooled’’ up for transportation to the job site. At the job site, paper and hardware come together and final fabrication and erection take place.

The various piping systems are commissioned, and the project is brought to its conclusion and finally handed over to the client’s operators. All these phases of a project are equally important, and it is very important that the engineer understand the challenges that arise in these very different environments. The Piping Material Selection Guide for the Process Systems is written to be useful to all piping engineers and designers involved in the design, construction, and commissioning of oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities. However, it is primarily aimed at the piping material engineer, the individual responsible for the selection and the specifying of piping material for process facilities.

Anggapan Al-Quran Sebagai Karangan Nabi Muhammad SAW

Ekstrimisme (Yang Dikutuk) Kita sekarang akan mengizinkan Roh Kebenaran untuk menempatkan Hantu dari orang Yahudi dan ekstrimis Kristen, dan membuat catatan tegas sehubungan dengan perbedaan mereka tentang Mesias. Orang-orang Yahudi berkata bahwa Yesus adalah anak tidak sah dari Maryam karena ia tidak dapat menunjukkan seorang ayah. Orang-orang Kristen dengan alasan yang sama membuatnya menjadi Tuhan dan anak keturunan Tuhan. Hanya cukup satu ayat saja untuk menolak kebohongan ini:  "Wahai Ahli kitab, janganlah kamu melampaui batas dalam agamamu, dan janganlah kamu mengatakan terhadap Allah kecuali yang benar. Sesungguhnya Al-Masih, 'Isa putra Maryam itu, adalah utusan Allah dan (yang diciptakan dengan) kalimat-Nya yang disampaikan-Nya kepada Maryam, dan (dengan tiupan) roh dari-Nya. Maka berimanlah kamu kepada Allah dan rasul rasul-Nya dan janganlah kamu mengatakan, '(Tuhan itu) tiga ; berhentilah (dari ucapan itu). (Itu) Lebih baik bagimu. Sesungguhnya Allah Tuhan...

PUMPS IS A MACHINE

INTRODUCTION A pump is a machine that imparts energy into a liquid to lift the liquid to a higher level, to transport the liquid from one place to another, to pressurize the liquid for some useful purpose, or to circulate the liquid in a piping system by overcoming the frictional resistance of the piping system. The pump is one of the oldest machines invented by man. The earliest pumps devised for raising water, such as the Persian and Roman waterwheels and the more advanced Archimedes screw, were invented to raise water from the hold of a ship. Since that time, many variations and applications of pumps have been developed, which in most cases can be classified into two basic methods used to impart energy to a liquid: volumetric or positive displacement, and addition of kinetic energy.

Belajar Dan Memahami Makna Wajah

Menarik sekali jikalau kita terus menerus belajar tentang fenomena apapun yang terjadi dalam hiruk-pikuk kehidupan ini. Tidak ada salahnya kalau kita buat semacam target. Misalnya : hari ini kita belajar tentang wajah. Wajah? Ya, wajah. Karena masalah wajah bukan hanya masalah bentuknya, tapi yang utama adalah pancaran yang tersemburat dari si pemilik wajah tersebut. Ketika pagi menyingsing, misalnya, tekadkan dalam diri : "Saya ingin tahu wajah yang paling menenteramkan hati itu seperti apa? Wajah yang paling menggelisahkan itu seperti bagaimana?" karena pastilah hari ini kita akan banyak bertemu dengan wajah orang per orang. Ya, karena setiap orang pastilah punya wajah. Wajah irtri, suami, anak, tetangga, teman sekantor, orang di perjalanan, dan lain sebagainya. Nah, ketika kita berjumpa dengan siapapun hari ini, marilah kita belajar ilmu tentang wajah. Subhanallaah, pastilah kita akan bertemu dengan beraneka macam bentuk wajah. Dan, tiap wajah ternyata dampaknya...
