IRVING, TX - The Plastics Pipe Institute, Inc. (PPI) today announced it has released a new, free, online software tool that aids in designing plastic pressure pipe systems using PEX, PE-RT and CPVC.

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Piping systems are often not self-supporting because of routing, length, and weight factors. Weight loads include the weights of pipes, ...

A piping and pump model in DesigNet shows a general layout for a wastewater system. Picking any icon in the diagram brings up a detailed descriptions of pumps, valves, controls, and performance at ...

Code requires that nuclear plant piping must be designed to withstand seismic effects due to potential earthquake. During a potential loss of coolant accident (LOCA) condition in a pressurized water ...

Power plant piping with a nominal pipe size of four inches or larger that carries steam or water operating at greater than 750F or 1,025 psi is considered a “covered piping system.” That means the ...

For a yet-to-be-selected fabricator, design large-diameter, corrosion-resistant, filament-wound composite pipe with sufficient strength to resist burial and settlement loads as well as internal ...

Before 3D modeling, the only way of finding interference was by looking at two dimensional drawings or 2D models. Unfortunately, some problems were not found until construction was underway. Engineers ...

Attemperation equipment is necessary to control steam temperatures at many power plants. However, when the equipment functions improperly or the design is flawed, thermal quenching/shock can damage ...
