Pipes are often marked to show the insertion depth, so if you cut at a mark, then insert the pipe up to the next mark, you will have a good connection. Hepworth pipe has always had this feature, for example. Making a mark before insertion is advised on pipe that is not pre-marked (e.g. copper pipe). Hepworth supply an insert with bulges on the end.
Since about 1857 [2] Crow Edge has been home to the Hepworth Iron Company's coal mines, fire clay pits and clay products works, [3] later Hepworth Building Products Ltd.'s pipe works. From 2005 this has been part of the Dutch Wavin Group. [ 4 ]
HDPE pipe is a type of flexible plastic pipe used to transfer fluids and gases. It is often employed for replacing aging concrete or steel main pipelines . Constructed from the thermoplastic HDPE (high-density polyethylene ), it has low permeability and robust molecular bonding, making it suitable for high-pressure pipelines .
Pipe welding is often performed by specially licensed workers whose skills are retested periodically. For critical applications, every joint is tested with nondestructive methods. Because of the skills required, welded pipe joints are usually restricted to high-performance applications such as shipbuilding, and in chemical and nuclear reactors.
A high-integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) is a type of safety instrumented system (SIS) designed to prevent over-pressurization of a plant, such as a chemical plant or oil refinery. The HIPPS will shut off the source of the high pressure before the design pressure of the system is exceeded, thus preventing loss of containment through ...
A pipe support or pipe hanger is a designed element that transfer the load from a pipe to the supporting structures. The load includes the weight of the pipe proper, the content that the pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe, and the pipe covering such as insulation. The four main functions of a pipe support are to anchor, guide ...
The pipe incorporates an outer jacket that shrouds the inner high pressure pipe. This jacket is usually metallic in construction and can either be a thin walled tube or convoluted hose. In the event of a burst in the injection pipe the leaking fuel will be collected by the jacket and piped away safely to an alarm device to notify operators of a ...
The intermediate pressure mains operated at 6.5 bars (94 psi) and by 1896 some 51 miles (82 km) of pipework had been installed. It was used for powering 130 Schmid type water engines with a gross power of 230 hp (170 kW). The high pressure network had an operating pressure of 14 bars (200 psi) bar and had a total length of 58 miles (93 km).
