A steam pipe sizing calculator determines the required pipe diameter from steam flow, pressure, temperature, allowable velocity and allowable pressure drop. A reliable calculation should use actual pipe internal diameter and appropriate steam thermodynamic properties, then verify both velocity and pressure-drop criteria rather than relying on velocity alone. This free Aienginear calculator does exactly that … Read more
Copper, Nickel, Aluminum, Titanium, Zirconium, and Their Alloys Non-ferrous metals are important in process piping when carbon steel or stainless steel cannot provide the required combination of corrosion resistance, temperature capability, weight, thermal performance, or service life. The term covers metals and alloys in which iron is not the principal constituent; it does not mean … Read more
Stainless steel is one of the most important material families used in process piping because its chromium-rich passive surface can provide strong resistance to many aqueous, chemical, atmospheric, and high-temperature environments. But “stainless steel” is not a single material. Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation-hardening, duplex, and super duplex grades can have very different corrosion resistance, strength, … Read more
Free Aienginear piping specification and component calculator to ASME B31.3-2024: pipe wall thickness with temperature-dependent allowable stress, MAWP, hydrotest, B16.5 flange rating, pressure drop, supports, branch reinforcement, bolting and B16.9 fittings, with printable tables and worked examples.
Pipe material selection for various components depends on the types of materials they transport. Various liquids that can be flammable, corrosive, explosive, volatile, reactive, and sometimes hazardous to human health are transported through pipelines, which is why selecting the proper pipe material is critical for safe industrial operations. Process Conditions for Pipe Material Selection Piping … Read more
