    Way of designing

    See? I told you we could go on and on about this subject. To answer your last posting LinqurI would say that yes a good designer can be developed over time. The attitude and ability of the individual will determine the speed of progress. On the other hand some people will never exhibit good...

    Three Position Limit Switch

    Obviuosly everyone agrees that a limit switch is not really intended for, nor will it ever provide, what you need. From your description I still can't tell much about your process, you could be rotating a part mounted on a machining surface on the end of the quarter turn shaft or you could be...

    dp = 45 psig?

    operating load = maximum instant demand = 200 mbtu/h, flow = 10,00 gpm, delta p = 45 psig (pipe size 20") This is how the requirement appears for required supplied hot water to building and process ASH. Any easy way to convert this to psi? What is PSIG anyway? Temp in is (F) 200, out 160.
