David Etukudo 5G Welding Position – Test, and Certification
5g welding position entails welding a pip that is in a horizontal orientation with one or both ends fixed. As a result, the operator must travel either upwards or downwards…
What is Galvanized Steel?
When steel undergoes a manufacturing process that coats it with zinc, it is referred to as galvanized steel. Although this provides the steel with a glossy and appealing look, the…
What is Pump Head?
What is pump head? Understanding this question provides a fundamental understanding of force flow systems. It refers to the height that a pump can raise fluid up to and its…
Attemperator – Working Principle, vs. Desuperheater
An attemperator is a coil of pipe that usually lies downstream of a steam turbine or boiler. Its basic function is to regulate the temperature of steam by either running…
Butt Weld vs Fillet Weld
A butt weld joins two pieces that are on the same plane vs a fillet weld that joins workpieces that are perpendicular or at an angle. To a layperson, they…
Radial Force – Calculation, Formula, and Variation
Generally, the radial force is the force acting perpendicular to the axis of rotation of an object. It acts in a straight line and describes the influence of exertions on…
Thermal Diffusivity – Value in Materials, vs. Thermal Conductivity
Thermal diffusivity is a value that characterizes the rate of heat diffusion through a material. It is of great importance in the field of thermodynamics and its value is key…
Damping Coefficient – Calculation, Values, FAQ
Damping coefficient is a material property that measures the ability to absorb energy from a system after loading. For example, a basketball has a low coefficient because it bounces back,…
Hazen-Williams vs Darcy-Weisbach
Both Hazen-Williams and Darcy-Weisbach equations compute head loss due to friction in a pipe. Hazen-Williams coefficient is a function of only the pipe roughness vs Darcy-Weisbach which considers internal roughness,…
