When you want to calculate part weight, shipping cost, or even estimate how much material your order for a casting or bar stock is going to use, there is one thing that you must know first. This article provides you with everything you need pure copper density, calculation of density, densities in different units, and […]

Brass vs Bronze is a comparison that is frequently done since both materials are copper alloys and have similar uses. But each material has its unique chemical composition with various mechanical and corrosion resistant characteristics. Brass is a copper-zinc alloy well suited to machining and forming, known for its ductility and golden color. Bronze, on […]

The flange, a small yet vital part, is essential for any pipe line system, from raw oil in a refinery to process chemicals in a pharmaceutical facility. A flange type is much more than a metal ring with holes punched in it. It is the point where pipes join valves, pumps, and other equipment, and […]

If you’ve ever studied the specification of a pipeline and found the size of the pipe followed by some numbers like “Sch 40” and “Sch 80,” then you’re not alone in having no idea what exactly is changed by this designation. Pipe schedule designations are one of the most confusing elements of pipe specification, but […]

A flange is a ring-shaped fitting of steel, forged or cast and secured to two sections of pipe or pipe to a valve or vessel by bolting. A gasket is compressed between two matching faces and it is this compressed gasket which provides the pressure within the line. Flanges are what makes industrial piping serviceable […]

Phosphor bronze is a copper alloy with the addition of tin and a small amount of phosphorus to provide strength. Engineers can grab it anytime they need an item to perform in an environment with repeated flexing, sliding contacts, or in a damp and corrosive environment without losing mechanical integrity. Phosphor bronze is one of […]

In industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation, an industry’s most reliable pipe joining solution for small diameter, high pressure piping is a socket weld. This guide will explain the basics of socket welding, the pros and cons, and when to use it. What Is a Socket Weld? A socket weld is […]

Steel pipes are one of the most widely used industrial products in the world. They travel through the streets of cities, up walls of factory buildings, over oil fields and across continents carrying life sustaining resources.  Steel pipes power the human circulatory system, from drinking water piping to natural gas pipes. But the selection of […]

Hydrofluoric acid alkylation units destroys stainless steel pipe in months. Titanium is effective, but is about 3-5 times more expensive. The only alloy that is both high in HF resistance and not too expensive is monel 400, which has been the industry standard for more than 80 years. That is why the engineers of refining, […]

Key Differences and Applications Super duplex S32750 is more expensive than duplex S32205 for offshore oil and gas piping. It’s not just an invoice. In the wrong application, the use of standard duplex as opposed to super duplex can result in catastrophic chloride stress corrosion cracking, failed systems and expenses that far outweigh any material […]
