    Pictures of B&PVs explosions

    Hi Everyone, I thought twice about posting this as I'm not sure if it's in the spirit of this forum. I'm looking for a site that shows pictures of boiler and pressure vessels explosions. Preferrably with explanations to what happened and why. I've already Googled but had limited success...

    o-rings for gasoline service

    I need to replace the o-ring in my fuel petcock. The o-ring will be in contact with gasoline. I was wondering if I need to pay special attention to the material that the o-ring is made of for gasoline service? The o-ring is metric and approx. 7/16 od X 1/16 thick (don't have the actual metric...

    3-bond vs. Permatex

    Hi Rod, I was calling around and could not find the TB 1104 or I sure would have used it. I don't think that the valve cover sees a lot of pressure as there is a breather hose attached. This actually leads to another question, for which I should probably start another thread, but here goes. I...

    3-bond vs. Permatex

    Thanks Franz, I ended up using the Permatex Ultra Bond over the weekend. Everything seemed to go fine and I'll have to wait till I run the engine to see if the repair was successful.

    3-bond vs. Permatex

    I've got an oil leak where my valve cover of my motorcycle engine bolts onto the head. The local bike shop says they use 3-bond 1104 gasket sealer but all I can find is Permatex. I understand that they are both silicone gasket sealers that do not harden and are meant for high temperature...

    Alternative motorcycle front suspension systems.

    Just my $0.02, John Britten designed a marvelous bike from scratch. He designed the whole machine including an advanced front suspension. If you search his name at the very least you'll see an amazing machine. Unfortunately he passed away a few years back.

    unit conversion: ton of refrigeration to horsepower

    Thanks to the both of you. I was incorrectly thinking that the hp conversion gave me the motor hp required to turn a chiller/compressor for a given "tons of refrigeration". I was using this logic against a household a/c unit and could see something wasn't right. Thanks again!

    unit conversion: ton of refrigeration to horsepower

    Hi MarauderX, Thanks for your response. I was at this website; http://www.engnetglobal.com/tips/convert.asp?catid=16 and I was converting 1 ton refrigeration (UK), I'm in Canada. When I use 1 ton refrigeration (US), I get 4.7hp per ton refrig as you mention in your response. However, I not...

    unit conversion: ton of refrigeration to horsepower

    I'm trying to find the unit conversion as mentioned above. Generally speaking the conversion was 12,000 btu/hr to 5.2 hp. There was also a boiler hp conversion that was really different. I think I should be using 1 ton refrig = 12,000 btu/hr = 5.2 hp. Can someone verify this and if you...

    BSS 1452 Class 17

    I need to do a thickness calculation on a dryer roll which was manufactured in the U.K. by Black and Clawson in 1975. The nameplate is stamped TS=35000psi. The material is BSS 1452 Class 17. Does anyone know if there is an ASME equivalent for this material? Thanks in advance.

    ASME SA 570 Gr.B

    Oops! Just re-read the previous posts and realized A 570 is an ASTM spec and not ASME. The coffeee hasn't started working yet. How do we edit a posting?

    ASME SA 570 Gr.B

    Hi Metengr, That's where I was going with my previous post. I just wanted to make sure that I had not overlooked the material in Sect. 2 Pt. D. I take it that the "A" designation ie. A 570, is not a material that I would find in Sect. 2 Pt. D and as such is not suitable for PV fabrication as...

    ASME SA 570 Gr.B

    Thanks for your response. Is A570 a material that is typically used in the fabrication of air receivers? If so can you tell me where to find it in Section 2 Part D. Thanks in advance.
