Steam Pipe Sizing Calculator

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

Types of Stainless Steel Used in Process Piping | Grades, Selection, Standards & Applications

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
