    Management Structure & the Personnel Manual

    From my experience when I started "solving company problems" I recommend you sit down and write two letters before you get started. "I drank what?!" Socrates?

    Stainless Steel at high temperatures

    Greeting every body. I recently conducted a search on 304L and 304 stainless steel at high temperatues and was rewarded with an older post that was similar to my question. I was able to use the information in that post to answer my question. However, someone was also nice enough to include in...

    Greetings all: It has been several months since I logged on. I am familiar with ANSI 150 flanges and bolt patterns. But, not to knowledgeable of Angle flanges and bolt patterns. My question is who is the governing body over the design of Angle Rings "flanges" and where can I find a list of...

    How to get non-engineers to understand what an engineer knows?

    Don’t whine. Don’t expect to be worshipped. Don’t lose your composure when confronted. Don’t complain in secret to others about small issues. Don’t try to explain complex mathematics to people who can’t understand nor care. You have to earn your place with a group that has been working...

    Pipe sized tubing

    Per AISC 13th edition, the smallest Round HSS size is 1.66 diameter. I don't believe that this is what is installed. The "bible" that was quoted to me was yellow and black. Perhaps an older Ryerson catalog? I tried to get more information from this gentleman but was ignored. I believe HSS...

    Pipe sized tubing

    Got into a discussion about piping and fatigue. The terms that were thrown around were "Piping", "Tubing" and "Pipe Sized Tubing". We have a blow pipe (I use pipe because I am not sure what is installed) that snapped due to fatigue. The pipe spans 9 ft, with blow holes every 9". Compressed air...

    If you can find Bednar's book "Pressure Vessel Design Handbook" is a great comprehensive guide for pressure vessels. "I drank what?!" Socrates?

    Normal Operating Pressure under 15psi considering UG-22 (i)

    It has been my understanding that the operating pressure had to exceed 15psi to be considered a pressure vessel. However, your question may be more related to NFPA. You would have to research what the increase in pressure would be at a deflagration and compare that to the 15psi requirement...

    ASME Bolted Covers Rectangular.

    Nevermind. I ran the calculation substituting rectangular area and perimeter, and the end result was nearly insignificant. "I drank what?!" Socrates?
