  2. Watershed delineation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_delineation

    For "manual" watershed delination, one must know how to read and interpret a topographic map, for example to identify ridges, valleys, and the direction of steepest slope. [3] Even in the computer era, manual watershed delineation is still a useful skill, in order to check whether watersheds generated with software are correct.

  3. Maximum allowable operating pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_allowable...

    This is +10% for PD 5500, and ASME Section VIII div 1 & 2 (with an additional +10% allowance in ASME Section VIII for a fire relief case). ASME has different criteria for steam boilers . Maximum expected operating pressure ( MEOP ) is the highest expected operating pressure, which is synonymous with maximum operating pressure (MOP).

  4. Basis of estimate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_of_estimate

    A pivot table in BOEMax, a Basis of Estimate software package. To create a BOE companies, throughout the past few decades, have used spreadsheet programs and skilled cost analysts to enter thousands of lines of data and create complex algorithms to calculate the costs. These positions require a high level of skill to ensure accuracy and ...

  5. Cost estimate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_estimate

    A cost estimate is the approximation of the cost of a program, project, or operation. The cost estimate is the product of the cost estimating process. The cost estimate has a single total value and may have identifiable component values. A problem with a cost overrun can be avoided with a credible, reliable, and accurate cost estimate. A cost ...

  6. Pilot-operated relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot-operated_relief_valve

    When the pilot valve reaches set pressure it opens and releases the pressure from the dome. The piston is then free to open and the main valve exhausts the system fluid. The control pilot opens either to the main valve exhaust pipe or to atmosphere. Snap acting At set pressure the valve snaps to full lift.

  7. Relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_valve

    A relief valve DN25 on cooling water pipe from heat exchanger Schematic diagram of a conventional spring-loaded pressure relief valve. A relief valve or pressure relief valve (PRV) is a type of safety valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system; excessive pressure might otherwise build up and create a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, explosion, or fire.

  8. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    A simplified version of the definition is: The k v factor of a valve indicates "The water flow in m 3 /h, at a pressure drop across the valve of 1 kgf/cm 2 when the valve is completely open. The complete definition also says that the flow medium must have a density of 1000 kg/m 3 and a kinematic viscosity of 10 −6 m 2 /s , e.g. water.

  9. Topographic profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_profile

    Example of topographic profile. A topographic profile or topographic cut or elevation profile is a representation of the relief of the terrain that is obtained by cutting transversely the lines of a topographic map. Each contour line can be defined as a closed line joining relief points at equal height above sea level. [1]
