  2. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    The turbine flowmeter (better described as an axial turbine) translates the mechanical action of the turbine rotating in the liquid flow around an axis into a user-readable rate of flow (gpm, lpm, etc.). The turbine tends to have all the flow traveling around it. The turbine wheel is set in the path of a fluid stream.

  3. Intermediate bulk container - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_bulk_container

    Caged intermediate bulk containers are standardized for manufacture to near a commonly-accepted pallet size. Caged IBCs are often 1,200 x 1,000 x 1,150 (45" x 40" x 46") for 1,000 L and 1,200 x 1,000 x 1,350 mm (48" x 40" x 53") for 1,250 L, where both volume types are available in either new, rebottled, or reconditioned model types, where ...

  4. Architecture of the oil tanker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_the_oil_tanker

    An oil tanker's inert gas system is one of the most important parts of its design. [18] Fuel oil itself is very difficult to ignite, however its hydrocarbon vapors are explosive when mixed with air in certain concentrations. [19] The purpose of the system is to create an atmosphere inside tanks in which the hydrocarbon oil vapors cannot burn. [18]

    An oil tanker's inert gas system is one of the most important parts of its design. [91] Fuel oil itself is very difficult to ignite, but its hydrocarbon vapors are explosive when mixed with air in certain concentrations. [92] The purpose of the system is to create an atmosphere inside tanks in which the hydrocarbon oil vapors cannot burn. [91]

  6. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    Volumetric flow rate is defined by the limit [3] = ˙ = =, that is, the flow of volume of fluid V through a surface per unit time t.. Since this is only the time derivative of volume, a scalar quantity, the volumetric flow rate is also a scalar quantity.

  7. Standard litre per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_litre_per_minute

    The standard liter per minute (SLM or SLPM) is a unit of (molar or) mass flow rate of a gas at standard conditions for temperature and pressure (STP), which is most commonly practiced in the United States, whereas European practice revolves around the normal litre per minute (NLPM). [1]

  8. Fixture unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixture_unit

    The relationship between gallons per minute (gpm) and fixture unit is not constant, but varies with the number of fixture units. For example, 1000 FU is equivalent to 220 US gallons per minute (0.014 m 3 /s) while 2000 FU represents only 330 US gallons per minute (0.021 m 3 /s), about 1.5 times the flow rate.

  9. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

    Oil and gas separators can have three general configurations: vertical, horizontal, and spherical.Vertical separators can vary in size from 10 or 12 inches in diameter and 4 to 5 feet seam to seam (S to S) up to 10 or 12 feet in diameter and 15 to 25 feet S to S. Horizontal separators may vary in size from 10 or 12 inches in diameter and 4 to 5 feet S to S up to 15 to 16 feet in diameter and ...
