What is Just in Sequence production? - Engineer Live
WEBAug 1, 2019 · JIS is an enhancement of JIT. The method is primarily used to improve a production line’s ability and ease when managing multiple variations of a vehicle’s production. The concept of JIS is straightforward. It provides a way to supply material to high-mix but low-volume production models, like those we see in automotive manufacturing.
Protecting pipelines with cathodic protection - Engineer Live
WEBFeb 12, 2020 · This technique reduces the corrosion of the metal surface. It does so by making the surface the cathode of an electrochemical cell. This cathodic protection system works by applying a small current to the pipeline. The technicians apply the current to the pipelines via units known as transformer-rectifiers, which convert AC electricity into DC.
How To Choose The Right Process Control Valves - Engineer Live
WEBMay 12, 2020 · Control valves are used to manage the flow rate of a liquid or a gas and in turn control the temperature, pressure or liquid level within a process. As such, control valves are defined by the way in which they operate to control flow and include globe valves, angle seat, diaphragm, quarter-turn, knife and needle valves, to name a few.
