An Expert Guide To Sonic Drilling - Engineer Live
网页2020年5月1日 · What Is Sonic Drilling? Sonic drilling is a more efficient method of drilling by using high-frequency resonance to create a smoother path of travel for the drill by reducing or even eliminating any frictional resistance from subsurface materials being encountered. The high frequency resonance results in a vibrating head that is being both ...
Front-end engineering and design: your best estimate
网页2016年4月5日 · Front-end engineering and design (FEED) is the phase of a project during which a percentage of the overall engineering required for a project is completed, with the purpose of developing a sanction estimate. Capital cost has a major bearing on return on investment, so the sanction estimate is an important part of the investment decision.
How To Choose The Right Process Control Valves - Engineer Live
网页2020年5月12日 · Control valves are used to manage the flow rate of a liquid or a gas and in turn control the temperature, pressure or liquid level within a process. As such, control valves are defined by the way in which they operate to control flow and include globe valves, angle seat, diaphragm, quarter-turn, knife and needle valves, to name a few.

Rupture discs: back to the drawing board - Engineer Live
网页2016年10月25日 · Rupture discs are designed to fail within milliseconds when a predetermined differential pressure, either positive or vacuum, is achieved. The device has a one-time-use membrane usually made out of various metals, but also exotic alloys and graphite. In many applications the superior leak tightness and flow characteristics of a rupture disc are ...
MRO procurement made simple - Engineer Live
网页2016年6月10日 · The complexities of MRO procurement mean that the costs associated with procurement and inventory management are greater than the product item price, increasing the total cost of ownership many times over. In fact, in a typical cost profile of MRO and industrial supplies, only 40% of the total product spend can be attributed to the product itself.
