Specifying new equipment or systems or assessing existing ones for a changing market is difficult, and when the subject is as complex as fluid engineering, it becomes a very specialist task. Specifying the basic flows and pressures required is often the easy part of fluid engineering. A detailed functional specification, or assessment of an existing design goes much further, involving:

• rheology assessment and resultant hydraulic analysis
• dynamic performance under planned and extreme pressure transient and external pressure and temperature conditions
• mechanical strength, component sizing and APSH
• material wear and ageing under different conditions
• sealing, lubrication and filtration to avoid contamination and excessive wear
• instrumentation for performance monitoring for safety or reliability

Our multi-disciplinary teams combine a theoretical understanding of a range of engineering disciplines with applications experience of hundreds of systems in the field to bring together the expertise you need.
