Bourdon pressure gauge
The Bourdon pressure gauge is a mechanical device used to measure pressure in various applications. It was invented by French engineer Eugène Bourdon in the mid-19th century and has since become one of the most common and widely used pressure measuring instruments. The basic design of a Bourdon pressure gauge consists of a curved tube, […]
Hydrodynamic Response
Mooring systems play a crucial role in the offshore industry by ensuring the stability and safety of floating structures under various environmental conditions. These systems are designed to restrict the horizontal movements of the structure caused by external forces like wind, currents, and waves. By limiting these excursions, mooring systems help maintain the position and […]
The Carnot Cycle
The Carnot cycle is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle that represents the most efficient heat engine cycle possible. It serves as an idealized benchmark for the maximum efficiency that any heat engine operating between two temperature reservoirs can achieve. The cycle was developed by the French engineer Sadi Carnot in 1824 and is an essential concept […]
Mexican Petroleum Congress (CMP) 2023
Mexican Petroleum Congress (CMP): What is it and what do they do? The Mexican Petroleum Congress is the main event in the field, which brings together the most prominent players in the Mexican oil industry every year. This year was its seventeenth edition in the City of Campeche, Campeche, Mexico from June 7 – 10, […]
Spring Elements and Spring Damper Elements: Reducing Vibrations in Industrial Applications
In industrial machinery and applications, reducing vibrations is crucial for optimal performance and minimizing potential damage. Certain machines generate vibrations during operation, while others are highly sensitive to vibrations from their environment. To address these challenges, the use of spring elements and spring damper elements provides tailored solutions for vibration isolation. Let’s explore the applications, […]
Celebrating Growth and Collaboration – The PSI Association
We are thrilled to share an overview of the amazing activities we’ve had during the past month at the PSI Association. Our mission to foster the professional growth of Piping Stress Engineers and promote responsible piping system design and construction has been at the forefront of our endeavors. Let’s dive into the highlights! First, we […]
Von Mises stress
Von Mises stress is a critical concept in the field of mechanical engineering that measures the stress state of a material subjected to a complex load. The concept was introduced by the Austrian physicist Richard von Mises in 1913 and is also known as the equivalent stress or von Mises criterion. In materials science and […]
Material Property Chart
When it comes to material properties, Young’s modulus and density are two key factors that engineers and scientists must consider. Young’s modulus is a measure of a material’s stiffness, while density is a measure of how much mass is contained within a given volume. This article will explore the relationship between Young’s modulus and density […]
Roller bearings and pipe saddles
LISEGA‘s product group 5 includes roller bearings and pipe saddles for various industrial applications. Horizontal pipe systems are supported over longer stretches by rolling or sliding support bearings and anchor points. To allow normal thermal movement, the support points are designed as either sliding or roller types. Roller bearings are the optimum solution for pipe […]
Double gimbal expansion joint
The double gimbal expansion joint is a flexible accessory designed to absorb lateral movements in pipes caused by thermal expansion resulting from temperature variations. This joint design absorbs lateral movements in one or two planes. This type of construction can only absorb the axial expansion of the joint itself. The main advantage of double gimbal […]
