1.
What are Gaskets and Flanges used for?
Gaskets seal joints between pipes and equipment to prevent leaks. Flanges are the connecting
points with bolted connections.
2.
What are Blinds and how are they used?
Blinds are solid plates used to temporarily block off sections of piping during maintenance or
isolation.
3.
What is the purpose of Expansion Loops and Joints?
They accommodate thermal expansion and contraction in piping systems, with loops for linear
movement and joints for multidirectional movement
.
4.
What is the most common steel used for construction in plants?
Carbon steel is the most common steel used due to its strength, durability, and cost-
effectiveness.
5.
What is the two most common types of piping connections and how are they different?
Welded connections involve melting pipe ends together, while flanged connections use flanges
and bolts for easier assembly and disassembly.
6.
What is Heat Tracing and how is it used?
Heat tracing maintains pipe and vessel temperatures using electric cables or steam to prevent
freezing or control process temperatures.
7.
What are steam traps used for?
Steam traps remove condensate and air from steam systems, ensuring efficient heat transfer and
equipment protection in industrial settings.

Project 4: Pipe lagging is an insulation fitted around pipes to maintain energy loss at minimum and prevent any freezing or bursting. Your part in the HTU thermodynamics and heat transfer lab is to conduct an experiment to explore the heat losses that would occur in both lagged and unlagged hot water pipe. The required tools and main apparatus are shown in Figure.4 and general schematic is shown in Fugure.5.
Figure.1, shows the pump for providing running the cycle, thermocouple for measuring the temperature and the pipe coil.
Your lab instructor asked you to perform the following tasks: • Fit the lagging around the pipe
• Connect the pump to inlet of coil
• Measure the hot water terampere at the inlet (make sure the temperature reaches its steady state before measuring it)
• Operate the cycle by turn on the pump
• Measure the cold water terampere at the outlet in steady state.
• Repeat the previous step with unlagged pipe
• Search for an appropriate video where a test to measure the…

QUESTION: Suppose a bolted tension used in a doube-D ring configuration is properly preloaded. The spring constant for the bolts is 7.8 MN/m and the spring constant for the members is 12.7 MN/m. By how much does the tensile force in the bolt increase when a load of 705 N is applied? You may assume that joint separation does not occur. Give your answer in units of N

Industrial Pipes
Are pipes with screw connections not used when they have a large diameter due to the cost of opening threaded threads in them and their accessories?

Please select all that applies.
The possible failure modes for bolted joints are:
shear in the bolts
bearning of the bolts on the connected material
tension in the connected parts
torsion in the connected parts

Expansion joints are fragile elements and therefore should be avoided as much as possible in the project, only when there is no space to place expansion joints or curves in sufficient quantity to give flexibility to the section?
