Modern civilization depends on the transport of liquid and gases in systems of pipes, just as humans depend on the transport of blood through arteries and veins 1. As fluids move through pipes, they ...

Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers). Reasons for ...

Ordinarily, if you want liquid to flow in only one direction through a pipe, that pipe needs to be equipped with a flap-type valve – which could fail. Now, however, scientists have created a new type ...

As aging infrastructure and rising costs challenge traditional methods, IoT and smart technologies are paving the way for ...

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, ...

These graphs compare the pressure/flow characteristics of orifice and capillary restrictors. The characteristic impedance of an orifice restrictor does not vary linearly, so it will not always match ...

Last month I wrote about early steam heating and how experimentation led to discovery, which led to new products or piping techniques. This time I will be writing about the early days of gravity hot ...
