    Piping Course

    Dear Engineers,

    I am Noorul Aman. I am a mechanical engineer in the field of PIPING AND CONST/ARCI.
    Here I want to shear whatever I gather the information about engineering field with you.

    Piping/Mechanical Design Drawings
    GENERAL
    The primary drawings that a Piping/Mechanical Field Engineer will use in the course of completing
    a field assignment are:
    · Piping and Instrument Diagram (P&ID)
    · Piping Isometric
    · Plot Plans
    · Piping Class Sheets
    · Piping Support Details and Hanger Drawings
    · Vendor Drawings and Manuals
    · Instrument and Tubing Drawings
    · Standard Instrument Details
    · Steam heat Tracing Drawings
    These drawings along with project installation specifications provide quality guidelines for properly
    completing the assigned system.

    Piping and Instrument Diagram

    The single most important drawing for the installation of piping systems is the Piping and
    Instrument Diagram (P&ID). It provides the base design description of the required pipe routing
    and sizing, flow direction and slope, instrumentation and controls, insulation, heat tracing, and
    equipment and/or instrument references. This provides a road map to finding other drawings,
    vendor data, and piping information to properly complete the installation. The P&ID does not
    however provide dimensional data or physical locations of any commodities.
    The Piping Line List and the Instrument Index are issued documents which often provide this
    information.

    What should be the radius of long radius elbow?
    Answer:
    1.5D (Where “D” is the diameter of the pipe)
    14. Normally where do we use the following?
    i. Eccentric reducers ii)Concentric reducers
    Answer:
    i. Eccentric reducers = Pump suction to avoid Cavitation, To maintain elevation (BOP) in
    rack.
    ii. Concentric reducers = Pump discharge, vertical pipeline etc.

    Concentric reducer is used in pump suction. (Yes / No). Explain.
    Answer:
    No. Air pockets may form if concentric reducer is used at pump suction, which results in
    Cavitation, and cause damage to Pump. To avoid this problem, Eccentric Reducer with
    Flat Side Up (FSU)is used in Pump Suction.

    What do you mean by Cavitation in Pump?
    A pump is designed to handle liquid, not vapour. Vapour forms if the pressure in the
    pump falls below the liquid’s vapour pressure . The vapour pressure occurs right at the
    impeller inlet where a sharp pressure drop occurs. The impeller rapidly builds up the
    pressure which collapses vapour bubbles causing cavitation and damage . This is
    avoided by maintaining sufficient NPSH.
    (Cavitation implies cavities or holes in the fluid we are pumping. These holes can also
    be described as bubbles, so cavitation is really about the formation of bubbles and their
    collapse. Bubbles form when ever liquid boils. It can be avoided by providing sufficient
    NPSH.)

    but I don't know where I shoud ask my question.
    My question: I don't know whether in British and canada universities only seeing the
    IELTS certification or not? I mean do they see the results of IELTS via website (online
    result).
    If there is another websithe which I can ask from them, please tell me.
    This question is important for me... Please.....Please.....Please.....
    Sorry, I dont know.

    What do you mean by NPSH? How do you calculate it?
    NPSH: Net Positive Suction Head. NPSH is the pressure available at the pump suction
    after vapour pressure is substarcted.
    It is calculated as : Static head + surface pressure head - the vapor pressure of your
    product - the friction losses in the piping, valves and fittings.
    It thus reflects the amount of head loss that the pump can sustain internally before
    vapour pressure is reached.
