    Air pressure vessel safety valve sizing

    Thank you TD2K I understand what you say, in other words you say that calculating the size of the p.s.v must be based on the compression unit to be installed on, especially the inlet flow capacity. If so, practically, the flow capacity of the p.s.v should be equal (at least) or greater than the...

    Air pressure vessel safety valve sizing

    Thank you TD2K I'll try to make myself more clear.. Suppose I am a pressure vessels manufacturer (just the vessels without the compression units), I must drill a hole into the vessel and weld an openning for the safety valve! Then, what should be the size of that hole/openning? Remember: In...

    Air pressure vessel safety valve sizing

    Hi everyone, I have to determine the size of safety valve for an air pressure vessel. I found in ASME and BS 5500 a procedure to calculate the size of safety valve, which relates the mass flow capacity to the: pressure, temprature, discharge area, s.v coefficient, and air parameters. This can...

    FEA basic book

    Hi everyone, I am from the previous generaion of engineers, prior to the FEA widely usage.I intend to study (by myself) this subject, and I wish to get your proffessional recommendations/tips for basic books that I can study from (basic principles, easy to understand, includes examples &...

    local bending stress calculation in long beams

    Thank you Brian, I found (simple geometry) that you are right, it should be b=2x! I also lie on your experiance in the aircraft industry and accept the conservative approach you discribed. Guideon

    local bending stress calculation in long beams

    Hi everyone, Thanks for the answers, Brian, You are right, I found something like your answer in my notes, with one little correction 2b=x, and the only problem with this assumption is, that the bending stress equation you get is ?=3P/t^2, which is x independable (means that no matter what is...

    local bending stress calculation in long beams

    Hi everyone, Recently I faced a problem in calculating bending stress in a long UPN profile "flange" due to concentrated force. It seems that the regular/familiar formula for bending stress in a finite/short element does not applicable in local bending of long/infinite beam. See sketch attached...

    stability calculation for truck mounted cranes

    Hi Determ I have ISO 4310 but unfortunately it is not practical enough for the purpose I need. If you looked at the attached std you'll see the difference. I do not have the other std you stated, and hence I do not know if it answers my questions. If you are familiar with these stds/ subject- I...

    stability calculation for truck mounted cranes

    Hi everyone, I was looking for a std to calculate stability of truck mounted crane. Recently I found an australian std "australian code of practice for crane installation on truck" (I think it is a part of 1418 au std), and I found it simple and practical. But, when I tried to solve the example...
