Not every inspection finding requires physical repair, and not every repair that looks straightforward actually is. This article in our Engineering 101 series outlines the full pressure equipment repair process, from characterizing damage and identifying the governing codes to selecting the right method and closing out the work with proper documentation.
Codes and standards are referenced constantly in process facilities, but early-career engineers often lack a clear framework for understanding what they are, how they relate to each other, and why they carry real legal and safety consequences. This article in our Engineering 101 series provides a practical introduction to the codes and standards landscape, covering construction codes, in-service codes, FFS standards, and RAGAGEP, with field examples and common pitfalls to help new engineers build a working foundation, whatever their role.
Metals don’t simply wear out; rather, they fail through specific, recognizable damage mechanisms, and understanding the difference is one of the most practical foundations an early-career engineer can build. This installment of our Engineering 101 series introduces the metallurgy fundamentals every new engineer should know, from core material properties to corrosion, fatigue, creep, and embrittlement, with a real-world case study showing how damage mechanism reviews (DMRs) translate directly into safer, more reliable operations.
Tanks are among the first engineered systems early-career engineers encounter, but their apparent simplicity can be misleading given the range of design, materials, and cross-disciplinary considerations involved. This article offers a practical foundation for new engineers on how tanks work, why they matter, and the common pitfalls to watch for across industries.
The most serious incidents in industrial history were not the result of a single equipment failure — they were the product of systemic breakdowns in design, operations, and management. Understanding how process safety works, and where it can fail, is essential knowledge for any engineer working with complex systems or hazardous materials.
Discover the fundamentals of piping system design and integrity in this introductory article for early-career engineers.
