A framework composed of members joined at their ends to form a rigid structure, built from basic triangles in the manner described is known as truss or simple truss. Trusses can be mainly divided into two types: BRIDGE ROOF TYPES OF BRIDGE TRUSSES • PRATT BRIDGE TRUSS • HOWE BRIDGE TRUSS • BALTIMORE […]
STEEL GRATINGS AND TYPES
A Steel grating is an open grid assembly of metal bars , in which the bearing bars , running in one direction, are spaced by rigid attachment to cross bars running perpendicular to them or by bent connecting bars extending between them. STANDARD WELD BAR GRATING : Standard bar grating with rectangular sections. CLOSE MESH BAR […]
Codes And Standards
Code A code is a model, a set of rules that knowledgeable people recommend forothers to follow. It is not a law but can be adopted into a law. Code will serve as generally accepted guidelines for design, fabrication, construction and installation. StandardsStandards can define as a set of technical definitions and guidelines. Or simply […]
STEEL STRUCTURES: Advantages & Disadvantages
Structural steel is one of the materials which used for any kind steel construction, it is formed with a specific shape. These steel materials are of certain standards of chemical composition and proper strength. Advantages of steel structures Steel has a high strength to weight ratio Prefabrication and mass production Can be built with the high-quality […]
Isometric Dimensions, Notes, And Callouts
Length dimensions and informational notes or callouts are used on isometrics to define the pipe’s exact routing through a facility. Placement of dimensions on the drawing establishes precise lengths between fittings, valves, equipment connections, etc. Information such as coordinates, elevations, nozzle projection, pipe size, and pound rating are used to calculate lengths of a run of pipe. […]
Piping Sections and Elevations: What are they?
The word elevation has a literal meaning of “height above sea level.” Both sections and elevations provide height measurements from an object to the ground(grade).
Bengaluru, We’re Back!
Despite whatever careful planning you may have done, we’re betting COVID-19 has thrown a bit of a wrench in things. Since early this year, we had to close our physical locations in accordance with local regulations. However, we are now starting to open up and relax restrictions. We’re all set to open ASTS Bengaluru branch […]
METHODS OF JOINING STEEL PIPES
There are several methods for joining pipe together.The three methods we will focus on are butt-welded (BW), screwed (Scrd), and socket-weld (SW). Butt-Weld Connections Butt-Weld Connections A butt-weld joint is made by welding the beveled ends of pipe together. Screwed or Threaded Connections Typically used on pipe 3 and smaller, threaded connections are […]
Pipe Drafting and Design | An Overview
In the design of an industrial facility, engineers develop process flow sheets, set up project specifications and design or select equipment. The design drafters use the information supplied by engineers and equipment vendors and applies the knowledge and experience gained in the office and field to design and layout the facility. In the design and layout of an industrial complex, thousands of […]
3D Modelling of Piping Systems
One advancement in piping software that has produced a wealth of design and construction possibilities is 3D computer modeling. Though not new, this technology is now available to most PC-based CAD users. Previously, 3D computer modeling could be performed only on expensive mainframe or super-mini computers having large amounts of available memory. Continuous improvements in PC hardware and the availability […]
