A common problem of terminology work is that the importance and indeed the very nature of terminology is poorly understood
What is Smart Plant Review (SPR) Smart Plant Review (SPR) is a software application used in the field of plant design and engineering. It is typically associated with the industries like oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation. SPR is a 3D visualization and analysis tool that allows engineers and designers to review and assess …
Science behind temperature Temperature is a fundamental concept in physics and is closely related to the kinetic energy of particles in a substance. The science behind temperature can be understood through several key principles: Kinetic Theory of Gases: Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles (atoms or molecules) in a …
Differences Between 410s and 304 Stainless Steel the key differences between 410S and 304 stainless steel lie in their chemical composition, corrosion resistance, strength, hardness, weldability, and heat resistance. The choice between them depends on the specific requirements of your application, with 410S being more suitable for certain cases where weldability and moderate corrosion resistance …

Differences between 316 vs 316L – A Comparison 316 and 316L are two popular grades of stainless steel that are commonly used in a variety of applications. There are some key differences between the two that are important to understand. What the numbers 316 and 316L represent. Both grades belong to the austenitic stainless steel …
corrective Maintenance definition of corrective maintenance Corrective maintenance is an important part of effective maintenance operations that can help to improve the reliability, safety and performance of your equipment. In this guide explain the basics of corrective maintenance including how it differs from preventive maintenance, what types of failure occur, and how you can create …
What is predictive maintenance? Predictive maintenance (PdM) is a data-driven approach to detecting and fixing potential problems in equipment and processes before they cause major malfunctions. This technique uses data analysis tools to identify irregularities and anomalies in operations, allowing for proactive maintenance solutions that minimize downtime and costs. Predictive maintenance is an approach to …
Centrifugal Pump Characteristics Curves Centrifugal pumps are designed to operate at one system condition like fixed speed, flow rate, head and fluid properties. But in actual scenarios pump operation may change or operate at different points and conditions like head and flow rate so performance may also be changed accordingly. So to predict the pump …
Welding Hardness Test Welding Hardness test is a type of Non Destructive test to ensure the integrity of the weld joints. That is performed as per ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards ISO 9015 and 15614 Specification. But these both standards are not the same, both are used for different purposes. ISO 9015 has two …
Cathodic Protection on pipeline Cathodic protection is a great way to protect and extend the lifespan of your pipeline. It involves using an external power source, such as a galvanic anode or external rectifier, to reduce corrosion and increase the durability of your pipeline. Learn about the benefits that cathodic protection can offer and how …
Management of change (MOC) Management of change (MOC) is that any measures or minor changes in the process plant are called management of change. There are many types of management changes that occur in a plant, like changes in P&ID, changes in isometric drawing, changes in equipment design, changes in operating procedures, changes in inspection …
LOTO (Lockout-Tagout) LOTO (Lockout-Tagout) is a safety procedure used in industries to protect workers from the unexpected startup or release of energy from machines or equipment during maintenance or servicing activities. It involves the use of locks and tags to isolate and control energy sources, preventing the accidental activation of machinery and ensuring the safety …
NPSH (Net positive suction head) What is NPSH? NPSH (net positive suction head) is the difference between suction pressure and lowest pressure inside the pump or system. By the use of the Bernoulli theorem, calculated if the suction pressure is greater than vapor pressure, then the risk of cavitation is negligible, but in other cases, …
FMECA (failure mode effects and criticality analysis) The (FMECA) failure mode effects and critical analysis method is used to identify and prioritize failures that could occur in the processing system or particular equipment. It is a part of FMEA. With the help of failure mode effects and criticality analysis to identify what types of maintenance …
