    Bettis or Morin Actuator?

    Thanks for your inputs. I think, I will stick with Bettis for now.

    Bettis or Morin Actuator?

    I have an application for a Auto ON/OFF valve where I have two options to choose from, Morin (Morin C-344UC-S080 ) or Bettis (Bettis G2012-SR4). I am trying to find which one is better and what experts have to say based on their experience in general. Thanks RJ

    Designing 2-phase Vertical separators

    In specific, I am talking about compressor interstate SCRUBBER (or Knockout) vessels, which handle mixtures with very high gas-to-liquid ratios and have small amount of liquid collection.

    Designing 2-phase Vertical separators

    Hello folks, I am new to this area of designing pressure vessels. I want to learn/know the procedure to design a vertical separator vessel which sits upstream of every stage in a compressor. I know it depends on the gas velocity and resident time of the gas in the vessel, but I don't know how...

    Pulsation Bottles for a Compressor Cylinder

    Thanks TD2K. I will try to find that paper, you mentioned. I am strictly looking at 2 phase separators... Also thanks for the advise, I would have started a new thread to begin with... But its never too late...

    Pulsation Bottles for a Compressor Cylinder

    I want to know the procedure to design a vertical separator vessel which sits upstream of every stage in a compressor. I know it depends on the gas velocity and resident time of the gas in the vessel, but I don't know how to calculate them and put them to use. Sir DliteE30, can you please help?

    Pulsation Bottles for a Compressor Cylinder

    DliteE30, Thanks for a quick reply. I looked up the video you posted of ROW blasting, it is cool.

    Pulsation Bottles for a Compressor Cylinder

    One more Question. Its about the orientation of a pulsation bottle on a cylinder. On all the reciprocating compressors I have seen, the suction bottle is arranged in such a way (looking from the top) that the length of the bottle is perpendicular to the piston rod of compressor. Based on the...

    Inventor or Pro-E for 3D

    After reading your replies, I am probably going to try SW and Inventor before I make a decision. Thanks a lot for your replies. Also, GregLocock: You said any of these 3 doesnt seem to suit my situation. What would you suggest then?

    Inventor or Pro-E for 3D

    Hi, I work for a fabrication company which makes compressor/pump packages. We have been using 2D autoCAD to layout the parts on the skid and to make engineering drawings of parts. Now we are planning to advance to 3D CAD. But I am unable to decide between Inventor, Pro-E, Solidworks. I am...

    Pulsation Bottles for a Compressor Cylinder

    EDIT: They have pulsation BOTTLES on 10.5" bore and above cylinders but DO NOT have any bottles on compressor

    Pulsation Bottles for a Compressor Cylinder

    Thanks for your reply. I totally agree with the part that I have a lot to learn. As you suggested, I will begin with Beta Machinery website and SWRI articles. Also, on the other hand, the place where I started working recently have been packaging recips for a long time. They have pulsation on...

    Pulsation Bottles for a Compressor Cylinder

    HI, I am fairly new to packaging of reciprocating compressors. I am wondering, What size of compressor cylinders need pulsation bottles on them? I am talking about a 10.5" (to 13")bore first stage cylinder and smaller 2nd and 3rd stage cylinders. I have been looking all over the internet to...

    Maximum safe water pressure for testing

    Thanks fegenbush, metengr, EdStainless and lganga. Based on what you guys said, I am confident that 150psi of water is harmless for the kind of testing we do. Now, I just have to convince our safety guy... now that will be a pain.
