    Shell forming method with low out of roundness for thin shell

    if a tube and pipe shop can handle 2m dia shells of Inconel 625 and can draw them through a die then it must be the best in business with huge presses and thousands of square metres in floor space...and if I could have taken the drawing to a shop, then is there any need for posting the question...

    Shell forming method with low out of roundness for thin shell

    Hello, My job requires forming a shell of Inconel625 of 2m ID, 6mm thickness, 2m long. The permissible out of roundness is 0.25%. Any idea how this can be achieved? Is there any other method other than a pyramid roller (maybe like forming on a carbon steel "mandrel"? Thanks Abhishek

    Typical cylindricity of shells made by plate rolling

    Hello, What is the typical expected cylindricity (on the ID) of a shell prepared by rolling a plate? UG-80 only talks about the difference between the maximum and minimum inside diameters at any cross section. It doesn't talk about the cylindricity. Any idea? Abhishek

    Sizing of concentric collector for diffuser pump

    I meant the space after the diffuser and before the casing of the pump. This is marked by a red arrow in the attached file.

    Sealing of gases by lip type seal

    Hello, Is it possible to have a reasonable level of leak tightness if a lip type seal (with grease lubrication) is used in a vertical shaft to seal against argon at 0.5 bar(g)? Thanks! Abhishek

    Estimation of torque in stuffing box of pumps

    Hello Efendy! Thanks for the very precise reply!.. In my application the stuffing box is on a vertical shaft and sealing against an argon gas environment which is very near to atmospheric pressure..I understand that stuffing box pressure is nearly equal to the process pressure, but is there any...
