Explore how AI-assisted coding is empowering small fabrication shops to build custom ERP solutions and replace manual spreadsheets with data-driven workflows.
Reinforcement pads (“repads”) are installed to make branch connections and nozzles stronger—but in the real world they often become some of the worst corrosion hot spots on the line. Tight crevices, difficult coating transitions, wet insulation, and galvanic couples can turn a repad into a prime location for CUI and…
Adjustable pipe supports are a small component with an outsized impact on piping reliability. In refineries, chemical plants, power stations, and offshore platforms, the right adjustable support keeps lines on grade, controls load paths, and protects flanges and equipment from hidden stress. This article explains the engineering design principles behind…
The RedLineIPS SmartPad System, developed by Cogbill and currently pending patent approval, offers a groundbreaking solution to combat the pervasive issue of corrosion in industrial piping systems, specifically at pipe support points, commonly referred to as "Corrosion Under Pipe Supports" (CUPS) or "Corrosion Under Supports" (CUS)
Pre-insulated pipe shoes, are essential components that ensure these systems operate effectively, especially when transporting substances at extremely low temperatures. This guide delves into the specifics of pre-insulated pipe shoes, their composition, necessity, functionality, and benefits, with a focus on the demanding conditions of the petrochemical and LNG sectors.
