Re: Turbulent flow identification across a heat exchanger

I am asking with reference to the vibrations, and erosion happening on the inlet & exit of the heat exchanger piping elbows. All what our Process Engineers are saying is that there hasn't been any issue on their side.

Re: Corrosion Coupons Installation Guidelines

That is something you do when validating the corrosion control program as well including:
Corrosion inhibitor injection systems
Filming amines / neutralizers
Oxygen scavengers

Coupons are required to confirm before injection (worst case) and after injection (effectiveness).

Turbulent flow identification across a heat exchanger

Process engineers,
How can one know if the flow across the tubes of a heat exchanger is turbulent in nature?
Point me towards the reliable engineering calculations /equations to estimate that.

Re: ASME Code Design - Learning Sources

Dlew,
You may want to consider a very good course here:

Would cost you $19.99 damages with some 11 hrs+ learning experience.
Suggested to me by one of my young colleagues.

Re: Temporary Repair Failure

Temporary repairs are required to be managed very well.
Internal thinning, damage mechanism is active all throughout and with no finite time of converting that to a permanent one would actual pose a risk.
Corrosion rates, associated piping inspection, localized monitoring, there are quite a lot of ...
