    Looking for a replacement for bronze sil-brazed unions

    My understanding is that most of the aversion is that it's faster, cheaper, and more shipyards can weld to as good of a quality. I can't vouch for this personally but it's what I'm told. My job was to find a spec that would be for welding. in lieu of sil-brazing. I'll try to find a spec for...

    Welding. 1,3,and 4 are out.

    Is there an equivalent to ASTM D-930 and ASTM D1280?

    Thanks, a few of those might work. We're already working on if F483 cuts the mustard. I'll take a look at the others.

    Is there an equivalent to ASTM D-930 and ASTM D1280?

    I guess the main question is, will they still be available or does it become a ticking time bomb? We're getting out of the military world and moving toward the commercial. Sometimes if a MIL-SPEC has been canceled, give it enough time and it's no longer available. Don't want to risk the same...

    Looking for a replacement for bronze sil-brazed unions

    I'm working on a project where what was used before for 3000lb and 1500lb valve end was a navy drawing for silbrazed unions (DWG 1385943 and 1385946). We're looking to go away from sil-brazing and I was hoping to see if there were another option in terms of a spec I can call out. I was looking...

    Questions on becoming a Piping Engineer

    Thanks. I'm starting in on the design societies. There's a lot more than I expected. I've got a couple of coals in the fire w/ my job but they're largely maybe, if we win the contract. Just looking for avenues that people in the field would suggest so I can steer in a more fruitful direction...

    Questions on becoming a Piping Engineer

    So I've been in the shipbuilding world, doing a lot of structures work. At the same time I love doing design work so I got fairly good with IV and Femap. Got a little into the Aux world (shipboard hvac, piping, etc.) but largely as a designer/ spec review. I took another job that was heavy on...

    Questions on becoming a Piping Engineer

    So I want to be a piping engineer. Problem is my career has been in almost anything but, meaning I'm worth a lot in a small sector but my skills aren't demanding of such a salary in the Piping field. I've been able to scratch the surface the past 6 years or so and I find piping really...

    Is there an equivalent to ASTM D-930 and ASTM D1280?

    I've got instructions stating I need to test aluminum corrosion limits for a cleaner IAW ASTM D-930 or ASTM D-1280. Problem is both of these have been withdrawn and not superceded. I can't seem to find a replacement or equivalent for either. Any hints?

    Where can I find dessicant data?

    Thanks for the help. I had no idea I could do a search engine check. Now I have the 1.4 million ads I was looking for!

    Where can I find dessicant data?

    I need to find data on variant types of dessicant materials, (absorption rates in different humidities, etc.). I'm finding it very difficult to find any data on this. Any advice?

    What causes PRV blowdown?

    thanks, that was my first thought but then I thought how could that be significantly higher than the base pressure. I guess it is.
  13. JoeBobJenkins

    What causes PRV blowdown?

    This might be a stupid question but what causes blowdown pressure? Why would the pressure to open the valve be different than resetting the valve, or at least significantly different?

    can I show a contour of max stress for all time steps?

    I want to show a contour of the maximum stress for all of the time steps. At time T2 element 1 could be at 60ksi but element 2 is 40. Then at T3 element 1 is 40ksi and 2 is at 60. I want to show a contour that shows both elements at 60 since that's the max they see over the entire time...

    How do I get membrane stresses out of Abaqus?

    So as far as I can tell membrane stresses are only for solid elements. Continuum elements is a very fancy way of saying shells (I'm sure there's a deeper nuance but as far as I can see not much of a practical difference). So the way I'm trying now is to go to the material and make sure...
