Pipe Expansion Loop Design
Pipe Expansion Loop Design Published January 2023 Download (coming soon) Keywords Expansion Loops Piping Flexibility Stress Compensation Summary The purpose of this file is to illustrate quick sizing of the expansion loops. Pipe expands when heated and contracts when cooled. When a pipe allowed to move (unrestrained), it is free to expand or contract without generating thermal stresses. Once the pipe is restrained at the ends (by anchors or equipment nozzles), thermal stresses can be generated. These stresses are a result of a system’s lack of flexibility and ability to compensate for thermal expansion or contraction. Expansion compensation in the form of expansion loops, 90° elbows and z-bends are a simple, low cost and low maintenance design elements that can be used to increase system flexibility and decrease pipe stresses. These arrangements can be observer in Figure 1. Hints 90° changes in piping direction are the most efficient design to absorb thermal expansion/contraction. Utilize any natural flexibility of the piping system (any lateral offsets, changes of direction). Use strategic location for the pipe supports to avoid over restriction of the [...]
JNE’s Inaugural Movember Challenge
Our team at JNE set out to raise awareness about some of the biggest health issues faced by men, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention by growing our moustaches throughout the month of November. Through this initiative we have learned more about each other, sharing stories and experiences, and we are stronger for it.
JNE Consulting Provides Mentorship and Sponsorship to MEC 2018
The McMaster Engineering Competition (MEC) is a two day competition that gives undergraduate students from McMaster University a chance to demonstrate engineering skills in a competitive environment, as well as receive the professional counsel of mentors from a variety of companies. In addition to sponsoring the event, two JNE team members participated on the judging panels of the Consulting and Re-Engineering categories.
New Office Grand Opening in Livonia, Michigan!
JNE Consulting celebrated a new milestone earlier this month with the grand opening of a multi-discipline engineering office in Livonia, Michigan. The grand opening was a great opportunity to formally introduce our new local team members to clients in the area, establishing new connections while celebrating our existing client relationships.
Steel Plant — Excavation and Shoring Progress
A unique advantage of working with The JNE Group of Companies is the close collaboration between our engineering and construction teams. This project, a JNE Consulting and Triple Crown Enterprises (TCE) joint effort, sees these teams working together to complete the design and construction of massive equipment foundations for a steel plant, including excavation, shoring, piling, and concrete work.
Foam Suppression System for Soap Manufacturer
A soap manufacturer in the Toronto area had issues with excessive foaming in production areas, wastewater tanks, and sewer systems on their property. They were consuming significant volumes of de-foaming chemicals and still encountering issues. They turned to JNE Environmental for a plant assessment and solution.
Achieving Sewer Compliance through pH Correction
A beverage manufacturer in the Toronto area was facing notices of violation from their municipality stating their wastewater pH was too acidic and out of compliance. Their existing treatment system was being overloaded with high flow rates and could no longer keep up. That is when they turned to JNE Environmental for assistance.
Rental Unit Boosts Treatment Power for Steel Manufacturer
A prominent steel coke manufacturer in Detroit reached out to JNE Environmental for assistance. Their dissolved air treatment system was not capable of floating their sludge waste and was performing well below acceptable standards. JNE proposed a new, properly engineered recycled air stream (RAS) system to deliver sufficient dissolved air into their chemically treated waste stream.
