Piping systems are colour-coded to help identify the contents of the pipes and to assist maintenance and emergency personnel in identifying the correct lines. Different colours are used to indicate different types of fluids or gases that are being transported through the pipes. Colour coding of piping systems is an important safety measure that is […]

When working at height, it is extremely important to practice fall protection, as falls from height regardless of how low or high the elevation can result in serious injuries. But before we proceed, one of the first things you need to know about fall protection is the difference between fall arrest and fall restraint. A

You wouldn’t think of going camping without bringing along the right tools for the job, would you? Then why go to work without wearing the right PPE? What is PPE? Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are specialised clothing or specific equipment worn by an individual working in a potential hazardous environment for protection against painful and

A pipe is a hollow cylindrical object used to transfer  fluids from one place to another. It is made of either plastic, metal, fiberglass, concrete or wood. Pipes are the heroes that go unseen, they play a significant role in the effective running of all industrial operations – one faulty pipeline, and your entire production

A lot (if not all) homeowners and building owners have heard about electrical panels, but not many know what they are exactly or what they do. So, in today’s post, we are going to discuss a little about electrical panels, what they do, their benefits, and the different types of electrical panels. Let’s get started.

Writing about why storage tanks are calibrated would be considered incomplete without first talking about storage tanks and what they are. What are storage tanks? Storage tanks are static containers used in industries for storing products such as oil, water, and petrochemical products in atmospheric pressure conditions. Similar to pressure vessels, they have no moving

What is instrument calibration? Calibration is the process of testing or restoring the accuracy of an instrument or measuring equipment by comparing it with an established standard to ensure that it is operating safely and efficiently. Once calibration is completed the values at every point of reference of the equipment is then calibrated and the

Fire detection system Despite your best efforts to prevent them, fire may occur at anytime and anywhere. And because fire outbreaks can be deadly and very expensive, it is extremely critical to detect them early to ensure that lives are protected and damages to properties reduced, especially if you want your business to remain operational.

Lifting Equipment Lifting equipment are equipment and accessories that are carefully designed to assist lifting, loading, or unloading of heavy goods and personnel at work. As they work directly with goods, properties and human lives, the importance of having a functional and safe lifting equipment cannot be over emphasized. The invention of lifting equipment has

Routine testing and inspections are the best ways to make sure that your pressure safety valves are functioning properly. Beyond that, they’ll also extend the…

Fluids under pressure perform a lot of valuable functions in industrial applications. But once this pressure becomes too much in the system, it can lead to damages and injuries. To help protect against these types of catastrophes, every system must have a means for releasing excess pressure safely and quickly. Various devices are used for

Ever wondered why there are so many legislations governing pressure vessel equipment? Think about the severity of a system failure, then you’ll agree with me

Pressure vessels are enclosed leak-tight containers specially designed to store gases, liquids, and vapours at a certain pressure. The pressure can be substantially different from ambient pressure, but never at ambient pressure. The shape and size of a pressure vessel are determined by the design requirements, the product being stored, and the available installation space.

Ensuring quality standards for flow meters is critical. Flow meters are used for measuring the flow of various liquids or gases in a process system, such as a refinery or chemical plant. As part of compliance with FDA regulations, calibrating or re-calibration of these devices contributes to a company’s assurance that they are adhering to

A conveyor system is one of the most important pieces of machine usually found in the beverage and pharmaceutical industries. They are machines designed to move bottles and pallets from one place to another. They are widely used in beverage industries such as beer, wine, juice, etc. The main purpose of these machines is to

There are a different types of maintenance namely, breakdown maintenance, corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, and condition-based maintenance which can be carried out depending on the situation of things. Regardless of whatever maintenance is needed, the main objective of an efficient maintenance schedule is to manage downtime and its impact on the production process in an

Process instruments such as temperature/pressure gauges, temperature/pressure transmitters, flow meters, etc. are subject to a variety of mechanical, chemical and thermal conditions. These conditions can lead to a reduction in your instrument accuracy and efficiency which the consequences can be as grave as plant explosion, reduction in quality and overall productivity. Calibration can be performed

Centrifugal pumps are mechanical devices suitable for transportation of fluids with high flow rate and low viscosity and are also used for applications in the oil and gas, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, chemical industries, textile industries, rubber industries, power sectors, etc.
