Piping, Plumbing Abbreviation

As isometric piping drawing become denser in information and crowded with compound, the piping engineer start to use piping abbreviations in the design work to reduce the space requirement of the callout of the fitting or in the note section of the mechanical piping drawing.   The list below includes most of the piping abbreviation used…

Different Types of Refrigerants

In the last decade the manufacturer developed different types of refrigerants.  The mechanical vapor compression cycle utilizes the evaporation of a refrigerant to absorb the heat, which will lead to lower the temperature of the surrounding of the evaporator. The first refrigerant used in the word was Ether in 1834 when Perkins proposed a hand…
