We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pipeline",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Flywheel pump deals with pipeline surges from
Hidrostal, which we summarised at the time by saying "Hidrostal's immersible pump, a derivative of the submersible range, is capable of continuous operation in a dry installation".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Training course provides liquid pipeline guidance from
Engineered Software: "Fluid Fundamentals Training discusses how to minimise capital, operating and maintenance costs involved in system operation".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Furmanite International
concerning its Furmanite carbon fibre repairs
- take a look at Repairs offer new lease of life for gas pipeline
which says: "Fourteen different repair designs were required on a pipeline at Shell's Leman Alpha platform ranging in length from 1m to over 4m and involving various complex geometries".
Take a look also at the news release from Visual Technology Services, Development kit puts 3D models in PDFs,
as well as Compressors meet medical standards from CompAir UK,
and Coating insulates probe rods from Victrex.
