What is a Knock Sensor?

Introduction of Knock Sensor? The knock sensor uses piezoelectric ceramics to detect engine knocking vibrations. The knock sensor is used for ignition advance control and helps improve fuel economy and engine performance. When the knock sensor fails, the car accelerates sluggishly. Emissions are also lower because the engine can overheat. Overall, your car’s performance will … Read more

Metals and Non metals:-

The periodic table can be segregated broadly into two types of elements, commonly referred to as metals and non-metals. Each of these elements has varying properties and can be found in a wide range of places, such as buildings, bridges, roads, electric cables, cars, mobile phones, laptops, and aircraft. These are also found in the … Read more

Lightweighting in Aerospace Component and System Design

Lightweighting design is an extensively explored and utilized concept in many industries, especially in aerospace applications, and is associated with the green aviation concept. The contribution of aviation to global warming phenomena and environmental pollution has led to ongoing efforts for the reduction of aviation emissions. Approaches to achieve this target include increasing energy efficiency. … Read more

What is a Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID)? | Input for P&ID design | P&ID Symbol | How to draw P&ID?

1.Preface:- Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) is an important engineering document that shows the interconnection of process equipment and instrumentation to control the design system. P&IDs provide the primary schematic drawing used for detailed engineering. P&ID is a detailed drawing that consists of control devices, piping, process equipment, and instrumentation in the form of a diagram. This … Read more

What is Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6)? What is the Use of SF6? How SF6 Harmful for Environment?

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) or Sulphur hexafluoride is an extremely potent and persistent greenhouse gas that is primarily utilised as an electrical insulator and arc suppressant. It is inorganic, colorless, odorless, non-flammable, and non-toxic. SF6 has an octahedral geometry, consisting of six fluorine atoms attached to a central sulfur atom. It is a hypervalent molecule. Typical for a nonpolar gas, SF6 is poorly soluble in water but quite soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. … Read more

What is pressure temperature rating of pipe fitting or flange? Factor which affect P-T rating? How the P-T rating selected as per ASME code?

The flange pressure temperature rating or class refers to the maximum pressure that a flange withstands at the increasing temperatures. Flanges with a higher rating are stronger than the flanges with a lower rating, which means 600# flanges can bear more pressure than 150# flanges. But it totally depends upon the temperature range. As the … Read more

Navisworks | A 3-D Model Review Software

Navisworks used primarily in construction industries to complement 3D design packages (such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and MicroStation), Navisworks allows users to open and combine 3D models; navigate around them in real-time (without the WASD possibility); and review the model using a set of tools including comments, redlining, viewpoint, and measurements. A selection of plug-ins … Read more

What is pipe support? How the pipe support is choose during the process plant piping design? Factor which affect the pipe support span?

A pipe support or pipe hanger is a designed element that transfers the load from a pipe to the supporting structures then civil structure. The load includes the weight of the empty pipe, fluid (medium) that pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe, weight of valve and special item, and the pipe covering … Read more

10 Best 3D Modelling Software For Plant Designing

In this post, I will explain 10 best 3D modelling software for plant designing. Overview:- During basic and detail design phase of any process/power plant industry, any EPC (engineering procurement construction) company require 3-D as well as 2-D Software. Both type of software has its own advantage. In ancient time when 3-D Software not exist … Read more
