While I was making some midnight rounds on a start-up, I found an operator draining a large amount of condensate from a waterlogged exchanger to grade. He asked why it was taking so long.

I am installing an orifice in a system with a check valve. A far as flow is concerned in relation to the cracking pressure of the check valve, does it matter if I put the orifice upstream or downstrea

We were told today that we should use check valves on the discharge side of our slurry pumps to prevent possible (major) damage.

Is a Wafer Check Valve, when subjected to reverse flow, a stop valve for the purpose of pipe design according to ASME Code 34.3? The main purpose of this question is to determine the boundry between
