Pipes up to 12 inches diameter are usually designated by
It’s nominal inside diameter
The most distinguished feature on a pipe thread is
It’s taper
Rubber gaskets are generally used when
There are low pressures and cold services
To differentiate between pipes carrying different substances pipe systems are
Often color-coded
All pipe system should be installed in accordance with the
American standard code for pressure piping
In general piping should be supported to provide the necessary rigidity to prevent
All three, metal fatigue, to prevent sagging to provide drainage
Self cleaning strainers are used to
Automatically strain raw water to remove silt and debris
Pressure, equalizing, lines reduce, where and
Make large valves easier to open,
Plastic pipe is inert and continuous service to all
Acids, caustics, solvent. Most likely not used for oils.
Some pipe may be coated to
Prevent external or internal, corrosion and erosion, to prevent heat loss
A line used to control the concentration of impurities in a pressure vessel
A blow down line
Which type of pipe would be affected the least by corrosion
Stainless steel
(Work) equals in a cylinder
Force times piston, travel 
Most compressors, such as the reciprocating compressor are
Of the positive displacement type
The purpose of an intercooler on a two stage air compressor is
It reduces the power needed on a two-stage compressor
The advantage of unloading a compressor is
It can run without delivering air
Single stage vein compressors are capable of developing up to
50 psi
Unlike piston or reciprocating compressors, this type of compressor operates at speeds between 3000 and 12,000 RPM
Screw or rotary
The impeller compressor is designed for
High volume rather than high-pressure to deliver air
If temperature increases as the pressure increases, what happens to the air
The ability of the compressed air to hold moisture also increases
Water cooling in compressors is economical for
Medium size compressors for more than eight hours, a day and larger compressors operating more than 10 hours a day
During peak flow periods, air stored in the lines and in the air receiver will
Keep the overall system pressure from dropping too low if it cannot another or larger receivers were required
Inertial separators in a pneumatic circuit depend on the inertia of a heavy, moving particle to
Aid in the separation,the faster it is moving ,more rapid change in airflow
In addition to dust in cloud, particles, compressed air has
Very fine oil particles in the .01 2.8 µm range also called aerosols
