Steel pipes are long, hollow tubes that are used mainly to convey products from one location to another. They are produced mainly by two distinct manufacturing methods which result in either a welded pipe or seamless pipe. In both the manufacturing methods, raw steel is first cast into a more workable starting form...

Sample Coolers are small shell and tube heat exchangers that are used to cool the sample from a process stream to the required temperature conditions for safe and immediate analysis. It is one of the most critical components of a sampling system suitable for most applications in liquid, gas or steam...
Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. Nominal pipe size refers to only the outside diameter (OD) of a pipe making it somewhat vague. For example, when we say pipe size is 2 NPS, it refers...
Pigging in pipeline is a process in pipeline maintenance that involves the use of devices known as pigs, which clean pipelines and are capable of checking pipeline condition without necessarily stopping or interfering with the flow of product in the pipeline. The primary purpose of pipeline pigs is to make...
