A Check Valve, Non Return Valve or a One way Valve is a valve that normally allows fluid (Liquid or Gas) to flow through only one direction. Check Valves are two port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. Check Valves work automatically and most are not controlled by a person or any external control, accordingly, they do not have any valve handle or stem.   Check Valve Symbol on P&IDs. The Arrow shows the flow direction. Check Valves are automatic valves that open with forward flow and close with reverse flow. The pressure of the flow passing through the system opens the valve, while reversal of flow will close the valve. Types of Check Valves Swing Check Valve A basic Swing Check Valve consists of  a Body, a Bonnet and a disc that is connected to a hinge. The disc swings away from the valve seat to allow flow in forward direction, and returns to the valve seat, when u...

NACE International NACE International formerly known as National Association of Corrosion Engineers , established in 1943 by eleven corrosion engineers from the pipeline industry. The founding engineers were originally part of the regional group formed in 1930s when the study of cathodic protection was introduced. Since then NACE International has become the global leader in developing corrosion prevention control standards, certification and education. NACE has published standards since 1969 and has been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which is the U.S. member of International Standards Organisation (ISO) as a standards developer for many years.   NACE Standards for Sour Gas Applications Natural Gas and Crude Oil, as raw materials, contain greater or lesser high levels of Hydrogen Sulfur (H2S).  If there is a minimum amount of H2S and a minimum amount total pressure, such a mixture is known as "Sour Gas" or "Sour...

Introduction India an emerging economic power, like that of the neighboring China, has been spurred by momentous growth rates in the past few decades. But years of under-investment in infrastructure have left the country with poorly functioning transit systems and power grids that further endangered its slowing economy. Burgeoning trade is putting pressure on India's inefficient ports, and rapid urbanization is straining the country's unreliable electricity and water networks. Fulfilling India's aggressive economic growth aspirations, would be seriously challenged due to this infrastructure shortage. The country needs to urgently accelerate the conceptualization and implementation of all its infrastructure development to enable a planned growth. In a recent report McKinsey & Company, estimated that India could suffer a GDP loss of $ 200 billion in fiscal year 2017 due to inefficiencies in infrastructure, which is around 10 % of i...
