rmw, The door is the drum door. It comes under the Classification Societies rules. I am still having trouble determining what the correct pre-heat and post-heat treatments for carbon steel of this type should be. The boiler was built under Design Code: BS2790-1982. The material specification...

Thanks all for your replies The door is being sent for mag particle or X-Ray testing and the purported procedure is being checked as appropriate for the material in question. TD.

Thanks for your response Metengr, I am currently off site but am getting the steel details tomorrow. Welding on pressure vessels of this size by "cowboys" is always of concern as the consequences of failure are extreme. I do not think that the weld process used 'should' cause any concerns...

A contractor recently took it upon himself to do a weld repair to a boiler door. He decided he knew what he was doing and did the following: 1) Pre heat to 150 Deg C 2) Tig weld 3) Post heat to 300 Deg C and leave with thermal blanket over night. The door was reportedly 30 Deg C in the...

If I wanted to pump fuel ashore from a supply boat at 10 Bar through a lay flat hose; what standards would I have to comply to?

It was required to replace a previously centrifugal engineroom supply fan with an axial flow fan. The new fan may be oversized to some extent. The headroom over the fan is poor. The fire damper therefore strikes an angle of about 45 degrees to the fan intake. Also the inlet vent is angled at 45...

It's rarley that big a data entry task. You will find large slabs of the data linear and you can usually pick the changes in gradient fairly easy off the table. From there it's basic to generate the whole table except for rounded and flared sections. It's not that it's overly hard to generate...

Perhaps the most important piece of information lacking here is what type and pressure boiler are you running? For 7 Bar firetube boilers the values you are experiencing are quite normal and within the "normal" range. The feedwater Ph is lower as the treatment chemical stays in the drum as it...

The area under the curves is equivalent to the work done. In the cooled machines there is less area under the curves - hence less work for the same effect.

The depth of water and the kind of bottom are critical for laying. Variable bottoms may be very expensive.

LSD can have lubricity issues. These tend to manifest themselves in fuel pumps with increased wear and sometimes seizure.

1)Shave the head. 2)Increased compression ratio. Results...For a compressor an increased mechanical strain over designed specification. For a diesel, possibly the same / possibly not depending on the control system but more immediately an adjustment of injection timing would be required.
