When a weld symbol is used it is defining the weld size and throat at a 90 degree angle (which results in a overall area of weld). Shouldn’t the welder use this as a basis for establishing the throat needed on the nozzle and therefore realize he has to build-up the weld as the angle increases in...
When a ASME code welder welds around a nozzle the angle between the shell and nozzle varies. The fillet weld size called out on the weld symbol represents that weld at a 90 degree angle. But you will not get the same weld throat you at the 90 degree angle when you get around to the 120 or 130...
I have a nozzle set through a shell with a full penetration groove weld and a fillet weld to cap it off (see UW-16.1(c). For my UW-16 calculation I have a throat size of .97" (a 1 3/8" fillet weld). How do I measure my throat for this joint? Section 9 has three different definitions of throat...
Are there any cases aside from TEMA "R" where it is considered good practice to confine the pass partition on a heat exchanger? i.e. high pressure or high temperature designs
Thanks
But how do I eliminate the break line all together? I just want to break the part lines without leaving any other lines. Very similar to how to looks when you break dimension lines around one another.
Often times a reinforcing pad is used on a pressure vessel nozzle and the pad must be split during the fabrication sequence. Under the rules of the Code must I compensate for a change in joint efficiency of that re-pad due to the long seam which it now has? If so, by x-raying that longseam can I...
Is there a way to link the "summary information" from a part (file/properties) to the design table? Basically I want my BOM to list information that is in my design table.
Thanks
I found some on McMaster but I am looking for a place when I can purchase all ANSI flanges in fittings at one time. Does such a company exist or does everyone make their own standard blocks?

OK.. so this is what I did:
1.) I linked my external excel spreadsheet file to my part. The excel file has values which I would like to use to drive my part on random cells. (ex. B2, C18, A4 etc..)
2.) Next, I tried to link a specific dimension in my model to a specific cell in the design...
Is it possible to have SW read a specific excel cell? For instance, if I want my pipe thickness to read excel cell A25 and the pipe diameter to read cell J43.
In other words I would like to use one externally linked excel summary sheet to drive multiple part drawings and assembly drawings.
Thanks!
