Stonecold, I will tell you why I didn't use heavy wall "tubing"...
"Tubing" comes in at 8.250 id and 9.250 od (no ID or OD machining required saving $$$ cause money doesn't grow on tree's where I come from!!).
I have a pipe chart and to use heavy wall "Pipe"... 9" (9.625 od) x .500" wall does...
Another question that was raised was the possibility of recertifing the A513 Type 5 DOM, Welded (Tubing) to SA53 Gr B, ERW (Pipe, Welded)? I do not have ASME Section II materials books to reference the differences in the chemistry or mechanical properties. Can anyone look these up and see if...
I have attached the detail drawing of Flange Ring/Shell section we are trying to fabricate. It is mating up to a piece of 8.625 od x .188 wall SA 53 Gr B pipe. The quantities we are looking to quote 10, 15, 20 piece releases. I have been contemplating to contact a pipe mill to have 20'...
I post a thread many years ago when quoting a project (see thread794-108981). Now this customer has come back and the same issue still applies. I am trying to fabricate a flange ring/shell section 8.25" id x 9.25" od x 4.00" tall. My questions/options are as follows:
1. Anyone know of a...
Justkeepgiviner,
I guess in the middle of being frustrated I kind of dove into to fast stating it was "worse". I didn't mean to offend you. Thanks for the simple but very helpful information. In 2000i the axis was automatically created when using a circular smt cut. Why can't PTC's tech...
I am having problem after problem with every release of pro/sheetmetal or is it just me working to understand a new release. My questions are as follows:
1. When creating a 1st wall revolved 360° creates a cylinder with a seam. When I create a sheetmetal cut in the shape of a circle thruogh...
We have been building pressurized sand pots for years and we use SA414GRG for the heads and shell. Now we have a request to supply to europe and be PED compliant. Our standard MDMT is -20° F. I have been told that we can not use SA414GRG below 32°F / 0°C. I have read in article 1 section 7.5...
I recently updated wildfire 2.0 build M050 to M090. Now I noticed that when moving the mouse to select menu options there is a blue box highlighting the selection. Is there a menu option to change this. Some people are struggling with the color and some would like to turn it of. Thanks in...
We have three non-code stainless steel vessel's that our customer is wantng to send to the european union. In review all three vessels fall into the Article 3.3 SEP category. Our customer supplies instructions for use. As the manufacturer what do we need to supply (documentation / data...
We currently have a design request to use electrical conduit c shaped clips welded to the outside of vessel shell to attach copper tubing spiraled around OD to warm the vessel. The copper tubing is removable if damaged. Has anyone done something similar and/or used bracket material with a C of...
Arto,
We have used 1/2" rolled and welded shell in previous design's but I was trying to exhaust all avenues to take cost out of fabricating and machining. I was also trying to do the "If they can do it, then I can do it" scenario.
Thanks to everyone for their response,
Ben
I need to find a pipe supplier to get a piece of SA 106 GR B pipe to machine down to 8.250 ID x 9.250 OD x .500 nom. thk.
I currently have taken a piece of 8" sch 80 (.500 nom.)and expanded it to 8.250 ID. I am having it magnaflux tested to check for cracks. After expanding, the material...
I updated from 2000i^2 to wildfire 1.0 then to 2.0. I have called into ptc tech support in regards to this as well. When I create a cut in sheetmetal using a circle on a cylindrical surface only passing through one wall, no axis will be created by the hole in wildfire 1.0 or 2.0. The axes...
