After that I joined a supervisor discussion with the Technical Manager to discuss on the
topic of Gas Regulator.

Figure 17. Gas Regulator

A gas regulator is a device used to control the pressure and flow rate of gas as it moves from
a high-pressure source, such as a gas cylinder or pipeline, to a lower-pressure output,
typically for use in various applications. Gas regulators play a crucial role in ensuring the safe
and efficient use of gases in industrial, commercial, residential, and laboratory settings. Here
is a detailed elaboration on gas regulators:

Components of a Gas Regulator:

1. Inlet Connection: This is where the high-pressure gas source is connected to the
regulator. It typically includes a threaded or flanged connection that allows for secure
attachment to the gas supply.
 2. Pressure-Reducing Mechanism: The core function of a gas regulator is to reduce the
high inlet pressure to a safe and manageable level. This is accomplished through a
pressure-reducing mechanism, which can consist of diaphragms, springs, and valves.

3. Diaphragm: In many gas regulators, a diaphragm is used to sense and respond to

changes in pressure. When the outlet pressure increases beyond the set point, the
diaphragm pushes against a spring or other mechanism to reduce the gas flow and
maintain the desired pressure.

4. Adjustment Knob or Screw: Gas regulators often feature an adjustment knob or screw
that allows users to set the desired outlet pressure. Turning this knob or screw can
increase or decrease the pressure as needed for a particular application.

5. Outlet Connection: This is where the regulated gas exits the regulator and is supplied
to the downstream equipment or system. Like the inlet connection, it can be threaded
or flanged to accommodate various types of connections.

6. Pressure Gauges: Many gas regulators include pressure gauges that provide a visual
indication of both the inlet and outlet pressures. These gauges help users monitor the
gas pressure and ensure it remains within the desired range.

Functions and Applications:

1. Pressure Control: The primary function of a gas regulator is to maintain a consistent

and safe outlet pressure, regardless of fluctuations in the inlet pressure or gas demand.
This is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of gas-powered equipment.

2. Safety: Gas regulators are essential for preventing over-pressurization, which can lead
to equipment damage or safety hazards. They are commonly used in applications such
as gas stoves, heaters, and industrial processes to ensure that the gas pressure remains
within safe limits.

3. Gas Flow Control: Gas regulators can also control the flow rate of gas. By adjusting
the regulator, users can increase or decrease the amount of gas supplied to a system,
which is important in applications like welding, cutting, and laboratory experiments.

4. Precise Control: In some specialized applications, such as scientific experiments and

research, precision gas regulators are used to maintain extremely accurate pressure
 and flow rates. These regulators are designed to provide fine adjustments and tight
control over gas parameters.

5. Gas Cylinder Applications: Gas regulators are commonly used with gas cylinders in
applications like welding, medical gas delivery, and beverage dispensing. They ensure
that gas is released from the cylinder at a safe and controlled pressure.

6. Process Control: In industrial settings, gas regulators are integral to process control
systems. They help maintain the desired pressure and flow rates in various
manufacturing processes.

7. Environmental Control: Gas regulators are used in environmental monitoring and

control systems, such as gas analyzers and pollution control devices, to ensure that
gases are supplied at precise concentrations.

Types of Gas Regulators:

Gas regulators come in various types to suit different gases and applications. Common types
include:

 Single-stage regulators: These regulators reduce pressure in a single step from the
high inlet pressure to the desired outlet pressure.

 Two-stage regulators: Two-stage regulators provide additional pressure reduction for

applications that require more precise control and stability.

 High-pressure and low-pressure regulators: Some regulators are designed to handle

specific pressure ranges and gases, such as high-pressure regulators for gas cylinders
and low-pressure regulators for natural gas distribution.

 Specialized regulators: There are specialized regulators designed for specific gases,
such as oxygen, acetylene, propane, and more, each with unique features to ensure
safety and performance.

In summary, gas regulators are essential devices that play a vital role in controlling the
pressure and flow of gases in various applications. They are critical for maintaining safety,
efficiency, and precision in processes ranging from cooking and heating to industrial
manufacturing and scientific research. Proper selection, installation, and maintenance of gas
regulators are crucial to ensuring their reliable performance.
WEEK 8

Next, during my 8th week of industrial training, I issue a material requisition form to purchase
a 1000 L gred A IBC tank to fabricate test rig for 25mm Jet/Spray Nozzle testing to MS 1447.
Other than That, I joined a supervisor discussion with Technical Manager to discuss into
Torque Limiter. We are planning to use a torque limiter to create a rig so that the valve can be
installed to the cylinder accordingly.

Figure 18. Drawing of a Torque Limiter from Tsubaki

A torque limiter is a mechanical device designed to protect machinery, equipment, and

mechanical systems from damage due to excessive torque or overload. It's an essential
component in various industrial applications where torque control and safety are paramount.
Here, we'll elaborate on the concept, function, types, and applications of torque limiters:
Concept and Function:

A torque limiter serves as a protective mechanism to prevent damage caused by overloading,

jamming, or other abnormal conditions in a mechanical system. It does so by allowing
controlled slippage or disengagement when the torque applied to a rotating shaft exceeds a
preset limit. This slippage or disengagement interrupts the transmission of torque and
prevents damage to the equipment.

The core functions of a torque limiter are as follows:

1. Torque Limiting: The primary function is to limit the amount of torque transmitted
through the system. When the torque exceeds the preset limit, the torque limiter either
slips or disengages, reducing the applied torque to a safe level.

2. Protective Action: It provides protection to both the machinery and the components
downstream of the torque limiter. This prevents costly damage, downtime, and
potential safety hazards.

3. Adjustability: Many torque limiters allow users to adjust the preset torque limit to
match the specific requirements of the application.

Types of Torque Limiters:

There are several types of torque limiters, each suited to different applications and torque-
limiting needs. Common types include:

1. Friction Torque Limiter: These use friction plates or elements to limit torque. When
the torque exceeds the preset value, the friction elements slip, preventing further
transmission of torque.

2. Ratcheting Torque Limiter: This type uses a ratcheting mechanism to limit torque. It
allows torque transmission in one direction while slipping or disengaging when the
torque exceeds the set limit in the opposite direction.

3. Shear Pin Torque Limiter: Shear pin torque limiters use specially designed pins that
shear or break when the torque exceeds the limit. This mechanical failure protects the
system by preventing further torque transmission.
 4. Magnetic Torque Limiter: Magnetic torque limiters use magnetic forces to control
torque. When the torque exceeds the preset limit, the magnetic coupling between
components weakens, allowing slippage.

5. Hydraulic Torque Limiter: Hydraulic torque limiters use hydraulic fluid to control
torque. Excessive torque causes the fluid to bypass, preventing further transmission of
torque.

6. Electronic Torque Limiter: Some modern torque limiters use electronic sensors and
control systems to monitor torque. When the preset limit is exceeded, they can trigger
automatic shutdown or control actions to protect the system.

Applications of Torque Limiters:

Torque limiters find applications in various industries and equipment, including:

1. Conveyor Systems: They protect conveyor belts and components from jams,
overloads, and blockages.

2. Agricultural Machinery: Torque limiters prevent damage to farm equipment, such as

tractor PTO shafts and augers.

3. Material Handling Equipment: They safeguard lifting equipment like cranes and
hoists from overloading.

4. Manufacturing Machinery: Torque limiters protect machinery in manufacturing

processes, including presses, extruders, and packaging machines.

5. Automotive Industry: They are used in vehicle drivetrains to prevent damage in the
event of sudden stops or impacts.

6. Mining and Construction Equipment: Torque limiters prevent damage to heavy

equipment such as bulldozers, excavators, and crushers.

7. Printing Machines: They protect printing presses from paper jams and other
malfunctions.

8. Woodworking Machinery: Used in saws, planers, and other woodworking

equipment to prevent damage due to overloads or tool jams.

9. Marine Industry: Torque limiters can be found in ship propulsion systems and
winches to prevent damage during high-stress operations.
 10. Robotics: Used in robot arms and manipulators to prevent damage caused by
collisions or overloads.

In summary, a torque limiter is a critical safety component in many mechanical systems and
equipment, preventing damage and ensuring the longevity of machinery. The choice of the
right type of torque limiter depends on the specific application, torque requirements, and the
desired level of protection. These devices play a crucial role in safeguarding both equipment
and personnel in various industrial and mechanical settings.

3.1 KNOWLEDGE GAIN
1.0 ENGINEERING PROCUREMENT CONSTRUCTION
1. Engineering (E):
 Design and Planning: The engineering phase involves detailed design and
planning of the project. This includes architectural, civil, structural, electrical,
mechanical, and other technical designs, as well as developing project
blueprints, specifications, and drawings.

 Feasibility Studies: Engineers assess the technical feasibility of the project,

considering factors like site conditions, environmental impact, regulatory
requirements, and safety standards. They also develop cost estimates.

 Permitting and Regulatory Compliance: Engineers work on obtaining

necessary permits and ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal
regulations. This includes environmental permits, zoning approvals, and safety
certifications.

 Value Engineering: Engineers often seek ways to optimize project designs for
cost-effectiveness while maintaining quality and safety standards. This process
is known as value engineering.

2. Procurement (P):

 Sourcing and Purchasing: Procurement professionals identify and source the

materials, equipment, and services required for the project. This includes
negotiating with suppliers, obtaining competitive bids, and selecting vendors.

 Supplier Qualification: Suppliers and subcontractors are evaluated for their

capabilities, quality, reliability, and adherence to project specifications.
Contracts are established with selected suppliers.

 Logistics and Supply Chain Management: Efficient logistics and supply

chain management are essential to ensure timely delivery of materials and
equipment to the construction site, minimizing delays and cost overruns.

 Quality Control: Procurement professionals are responsible for ensuring that

all materials and equipment meet the required quality standards and
specifications.
 3. Construction (C):

 Project Execution: Once the engineering and procurement phases are

complete, construction activities commence. This involves the actual physical
construction, assembly, and installation of the project components.

 Project Management: Construction managers oversee day-to-day operations,

including scheduling, resource allocation, budget management, and
coordination among various teams and subcontractors.

 Safety and Quality Assurance: Ensuring the safety of workers and the
quality of construction is a top priority. Regular inspections, safety protocols,
and quality control measures are implemented.

 Cost and Schedule Control: Managing costs and adhering to the project
timeline are critical to the success of EPC projects. Construction teams work
to minimize cost overruns and delays.

 Commissioning and Handover: After construction is complete, the project is

commissioned to ensure that all systems and components function as intended.
Once commissioned, the project is handed over to the owner or operator.

Key Advantages of EPC Projects:

1. Single-Point Responsibility: EPC contracts provide clients with a single point of

contact and accountability for the entire project, simplifying project management and
reducing the potential for disputes among multiple contractors.

2. Cost and Time Certainty: EPC contracts often include fixed-price and fixed-time
provisions, providing clients with more certainty regarding project costs and
completion dates.

3. Streamlined Communication: With all phases under one contract, communication

and coordination between engineering, procurement, and construction teams tend to
be more efficient.

4. Risk Mitigation: Risks associated with engineering changes, design errors,

procurement delays, and construction issues are typically managed by the EPC
contractor, reducing the burden on the client.
 5. Quality Assurance: EPC contractors are incentivized to deliver a quality product
since they are responsible for the entire project's performance.

6. Savings Through Integration: Integration of engineering, procurement, and

construction often leads to cost savings through optimized designs, efficient
procurement, and streamlined construction processes.

EPC projects are commonly seen in industries such as energy (including power plants and oil
refineries), infrastructure (roads, bridges, airports), and industrial facilities (manufacturing
plants and chemical processing facilities). The EPC approach is chosen when clients seek a
comprehensive and efficient solution for complex, large-scale projects.

2.0 FABRICATION PROCESS

The fabrication process in manufacturing refers to the methodical construction, assembly, or
shaping of raw materials, components, or parts into finished products or structures. It is a
crucial phase in the manufacturing industry that involves various techniques, technologies,
and skills to transform materials into usable and marketable items. Here's an elaborate
overview of the fabrication process:

1. Material Selection:

 The process begins with the selection of appropriate materials based on the product's
design, function, and intended use. Material properties such as strength, durability,
corrosion resistance, and cost are considered.

2. Cutting:

 Cutting is often the first step in fabrication. It involves the separation of materials into
smaller, more manageable pieces or the shaping of materials to specific dimensions.
Common cutting methods include:

 Shearing: Uses shear blades to cut sheet metal.

 Sawing: Employs saws with blades or abrasive discs to cut various materials.

 Laser Cutting: Utilizes a high-energy laser beam to cut precise patterns in

various materials.
  Plasma Cutting: Uses a high-velocity stream of ionized gas to cut through
electrically conductive materials.

 Waterjet Cutting: Utilizes a high-pressure jet of water mixed with abrasives

to cut through materials.

3. Machining:

 Machining involves the removal of material to achieve desired shapes, dimensions,

and surface finishes. Common machining processes include:

 Turning: Rotates a workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to create

cylindrical shapes.

 Milling: Removes material from a workpiece to create complex shapes using

rotary cutters.

 Drilling: Creates holes in materials using a rotating drill bit.

 Grinding: Produces fine surface finishes by removing material using abrasive

grains.

 CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Machining: Uses automated machines

controlled by computer programs to perform precise machining operations.

4. Forming and Bending:

 This process involves reshaping materials without removing material. Techniques like
bending, rolling, stamping, and forging are used to create complex shapes and
structures.

5. Joining:

 Joining processes are used to connect two or more pieces of material together.
Common joining methods include:

 Welding: Joins metals by melting the edges and fusing them together.

 Brazing and Soldering: Use lower-melting-point metals or alloys to bond

materials.

 Adhesive Bonding: Utilizes adhesives to bond materials together.

  Riveting: Fastens materials by inserting rivets and securing them in place.

6. Assembly:

 Components and parts are assembled to create the final product. This often involves
fastening, bolting, and attaching various elements to complete the structure.

7. Finishing:

 After fabrication, the product may undergo finishing processes to enhance its
appearance, protect it from corrosion, or improve its surface properties. This includes
painting, coating, plating, and polishing.

8. Quality Control:

 Throughout the fabrication process, quality control measures are implemented to

ensure that the product meets design specifications, tolerances, and industry
standards. Inspection and testing are essential to identify defects or deviations.

9. Packaging and Shipping:

 Once the product is fabricated and passes quality control, it is prepared for shipment.
Packaging materials and methods are chosen to protect the product during transit.

10. Installation and Use:

 For products that require installation, on-site assembly or installation is carried out by
trained professionals. Some fabricated products are directly used by end-users.

11. Maintenance and Repair:

 Depending on the type of product, regular maintenance and repair may be necessary
to ensure its continued functionality and longevity.

Fabrication processes can vary widely based on the materials involved (e.g., metals, plastics,
composites) and the complexity of the product being manufactured. The choice of fabrication
techniques, tools, and equipment is determined by the specific requirements of each project.
Successful fabrication is essential to producing high-quality, reliable, and safe products
across a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction, electronics,
and manufacturing.
3.2 PROFESSIONAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES
During an internship, we may encounter various professional and ethical issues that require
careful consideration and appropriate handling. Here are some common professional and
ethical issues that interns might face:

regarding the internship. Avoid sharing confidential or sensitive information
and be respectful when discussing work-related matters online.
• Professional Communication: Maintain professional and respectful
communication with colleagues, supervisors, and clients. Avoid using
inappropriate language or tone in any communication.
3.3 HEALTH AND ENVIROMENTAL ISSUES
Internships can expose individuals to various challenges, including those related to health and
the environment.

Below are some common issues to be aware of: Health Issues:

• Workplace Ergonomics: Prolonged periods of sitting or using poorly designed

workstations can lead to musculoskeletal issues, such as back pain, neck
strain, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Stress and Mental Health: High workloads, deadlines, and a new environment
can contribute to stress and negatively impact mental health. It's important to
manage stress through techniques like time management, mindfulness, and
seeking support when needed.
• Work-Life Balance: Balancing work responsibilities with personal time can be
challenging during an internship. It's crucial to maintain a healthy work-life
balance to prevent burnout.

Environmental Issues:

resources. Use them efficiently and avoid unnecessary waste.
• Waste Management: Some industries might generate waste that needs to be
properly managed. It's important to follow guidelines for waste disposal and
recycling to minimize environmental impact.
3.4 PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED
Problem encountered during internship was specifically related to the tasks have been given,
confidence levels, and feelings of fear or uncertainty. These are common feelings that many
interns and employees face.

Therefore, I countered these challenges by not hesitate to ask for clarification on the task
have been given. I also reach out to my supervisor or colleagues to get a better understanding
of what is expected of me. Clear communication can help lessen confusion and build
confidence in your tasks.

Next, seeking for feedback regularly with my supervisor or mentor to receive feedback on my
work. Constructive feedback can provide insights into areas where I am excelling and areas
where I can improve. This can be an excellent confidence booster and a way to learn from my
experiences.

Moreover, it's natural to fear making mistakes, but remember that mistakes are a part of the
learning process. When I encounter challenges or errors, view them as opportunities to learn
and grow. This mindset shift can help reduce fear and increase your willingness to take on
new tasks. Set in mind that mistakes as learning process.

Lastly, develop a growth mindset which means embracing challenges and seeing them as
opportunities for personal and professional development. This perspective can help I
overcome fear and build resilience.
 CHAPTER 4

4.0 FINDING AND RECOMMENDATION

Finding:

During my internship, I saw that there was frequently insufficient communication between
the organization's design and construction teams. This gap caused various complications,
including design changes during construction, delays, and cost overruns. There was clearly
opportunity for improvement in this area.

Recommendation:

To address the issue of inadequate communication between the design and construction
teams, I would recommend implementing regular coordination meetings. These meetings
should involve key members from both teams, including engineers and fabricator, project
managers, and contractors. Here's how this recommendation could be structured:

1. Clear Documentation: Encourage both teams to keep project documentation

clear and up to date, including design specifications, construction plans, and
change orders. This material should be available to all parties involved.
2. Conflict Resolution Mechanism: Establish a structured mechanism for
resolving conflicts or disagreements between the design and fabrication teams.
This could involve a designated liaison or intermediary who can facilitate
discussions and find mutually agreeable solutions.
3. Technology Integration: Explore the use of collaborative project management
and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software to streamline
communication and data sharing between the two teams.

The organisation can expect the following benefits from implementing these
recommendations:

1. Increased Efficiency: Improved communication and cooperation will result in

more efficient project workflows, lowering the risk of costly delays.
2. Cost Savings: Addressing design issues early can prevent expensive changes
during construction, saving the organisation money in the long run.
3. Improved Quality: By incorporating the construction crew in design talks, the
final product's quality is expected to increase if constructability concerns are
recognised and handled early.
