Using dry nitrogen to pressure test a system is a very effective method of verifying a system is leak-free. In fact, I believe it is more reliable than using a standing vacuum test typically performed ...

As control valves play a key role in process quality and reliability, “extreme care” must be taken to avoid costly premature failures, possibly resulting in substantial loss and even plant shut-down, ...

Identify components to test: casing head, tubing head, tree body, master/swab/wing valves, chokes, flanged connections, annulus outlets, VR plug threads. Define barriers: primary (tree + tubing hanger ...

In steam boiler applications, pressure relief valves (PRVs) are the silent sentinels — the last line of defense against potentially disastrous overpressure situations. In a perfect world, boiler ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...
