    Adapter 1/2"-20 UNF to 1/2" NPT?

    Thank you much Btrueblood! The adapter is for a liquid-level gauge (sight glass) which has these 1/2"-20 UNF connections. The sight glass will be installed on the break tank (open to atmosphere), approximately 60" H. I briefly checked out John C. Ernest web page, it seems that they could have...

    Adapter 1/2"-20 UNF to 1/2" NPT?

    Could anyone, please let me know where I could find out the above adapter either Brass, Aluminum or SS material? Also, any suggestions on a good vendor of sight glass/liquid level gauges? The liquid is H20, T~68^F, Pressure < 20 psi. I checked out McMaster-Carr (e.g. part 3280k49), Grainger...

    Pump Mechanical Thermal Relief/Purge Valve

    I am looking for the above valve similar to one/part #7685. http://www.jeadams.com/pdfs/20_pressurereg.pdf But, the opening temperature should be 115 or 120^F instead of 140^F. Do you have a good vendor source or advice? Thank you!

    MagnaDrive Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD)

    Thank you very much Sed2developer! I am going to read it. It seems to me, looking briefly over this document as an excellent source of information. I agree with you, it has been done on a very professional way and also it has been presented very clear.

    400 vs. 350 Amps Circuit Breaker

    Thank you Rbulsara! I see it now at that 2005 NEC table 430.52 last column. The motor is not on the VFD but there is an auto transformer starter. I was not sure what it is the maximum rating for these CB’s,... Thanks again!

    400 vs. 350 Amps Circuit Breaker

    We do have a 200Hp/460V/3ph/60Hz motor. The NEC tells me that the size of the circuit breaker (CB) should be 350 Amps. If we use a 400 Amps CB, is it violation of the NEC? FLA of this motor is 240 Amps. Thank you indeed in advance!

    ASTM A53 B Black Carbon Steel Pipe_size 24&quot;

    Thank you both for the help! I know that temperature of the fluid (cold water in this case, T<68^F) is important parameter. I also know for Barlow’s formula (it is not too good, talking about the bursting pressure and it does not include the pipe material, fluid temperature, pipe seamless or...

    ASTM A53 B Black Carbon Steel Pipe_size 24&quot;

    I am looking for the maximum pressure rating of the above pipe. Does someone have this information? On the Engineering Toolbox, it is listed only up to 20"!? http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/astm-steel-pipes-working-pressure-d_775.html
