    Define acronyms related to minimum breaking strength of rope

    SRT - Samson Rope Technologies SRT MBS refers to the MBS determined using an in house test method. The 'ISO/BS-EN919' is a International Standards Organisation ref number. Definition from the Samson catalogue I have below: "This international standard requires the rope’s strength to be...

    Installation of Flexible Riser

    That's not a configuration I've seen before. To be honest there's too many questions about doing this either way to say definitively if one way is any better than the other. It sounds difficult either way which means it will probably come down to specific details (i.e lay tension, how they...

    Installation of Flexible Riser

    The easiest way is to install the modules and either hang off or complete the pull-in at the same time. Initiation at the facility is easiest to get the right riser configuration but you have to be able to keep the product stable and sink the buoyancy before the sag bend has formed. Laying into...

    Installation of Flexible Riser

    Have a look on websites of connection system manufacturers (FMC , Vetco, Cameron, Aker etc) They usually have some good info on how their systems work and perhaps installation simulations. Basically there are 2 main types of diverless connection systems (vertical and horizontal) and the...

    Text book for Hydrodynamics

    Just to add yet another, a book I often use for hydrodynamics is: 'Sea Loads on Ships and Offshore Structures' by O.M. Faltinsen.

    Inserting the file name in a cell

    Hi, Probably a stupid question but... Is there a command for inserting the file name into a cell within a workbook, in the same vein as inserting it into the header, &[FILE]? Thanks, GRo

    Flexible Pipe

    If you mean that it is a flexible the damage force in a straight line is probably just the maximum allowable axial capacity (i.e max tension during lay). The 'Pull force vs radius' would be the crushing resistance, i.e, maximum axial capacity when running over a radius of X m, like a chute...

    First Trip Across the Pond - Any Advice?

    Kenat has got it pretty much right. The train is pretty good for getting between the cities, but the buses vary and anything outside the city centre isn't great. I read it that the company will be providing the car, you just pay for petrol (not gas here!) That's pretty good, petrol may be...

    First Trip Across the Pond - Any Advice?

    Yup, the petrol prices will be a bit of a shock, around £0.95/litre at the moment, which equates to around $7.20/gallon.

    First Trip Across the Pond - Any Advice?

    Kat, If you’re heading across in 6 weeks you’ll get here for our summer, so warm clothing and waterproofs required.... OK, seriously, it gets fairly warm (for us) in summer, although probably around the same as spring for you. There can still be plenty of showers so a light jacket needed. It...

    Fittings for DIFFERENT TYPES OF STAINLESS STEEL

    A good cross reference for Stainless steels and various standards can be found here: http://www.ssina.com/publications/specs.html You can view, but to get a print-able copy you need to fill out a short survey. I never had any contact/spam from doing this.

    Bolted Friction Clamp Design

    Just finished designing 30+ of these. Try: http://213.212.77.20/research/othpdf/200-399/oth283part1.pdf & http://www.hse.gov.uk/RESEARCH/othpdf/200-399/oth283part2.pdf The sections on mechanical clamps should be applicable. Part 1 design guidance, part 2 test data review. They also have a...

    Reducing Mistakes in Designs

    A lot of good advice on here already. Agree with the yellow marker/red pen on all drawings check to ensure that the drawings are exactly as you've intended, but remember, a correct drawing is not a correct part/assembly etc. Get out into the machine/fab shop and find out how things are made /...
