    Modify Component when brought into assembly

    I'm currently creating a 3D model using SolidWorks 2010 for my company. I created a hinge, but I'm running into an issue. I want to be able to let the other engineers use my hinge for their models, but they all have different lenths. Is their any way for me to bring in my hinge assembly into...

    Effect of temperature on an a325 bolt

    We know these bolts are placed under a large torque, and the operating temperatures on his component are much higher than usual do to specific design requirements he had. Unfortunately, we don't have the time to send these to a lab, as he is runnning an asphalt plant, and every hour day that he...

    Effect of temperature on an a325 bolt

    My company uses ASTM a325 medium carbon bolts in the manufacturing of our components. Recently, a customer has been complaining of these bolts breaking on his part. I believe it is because of the high temperatures these bolts are being exposed to. These bolts are 1" in diameter and are...

    Poly-pig Trap

    My company has recently started using poly-pigs in order to remove the thermofluid inside. We've been using them by inserting them into one end of the coil and blowing them through with 40 psi of compressed air. I'm assuming that the fluid being pushed out by the pig is also undergoing the...

    Liquid removal from a pipeline

    The reason we have ressited pigging is the amount of time it would take to disconnect other piping from the heater in order to reach the helical coil on the inside of the heater. However, I've been viewing it as a neccessary expense in order to effectively remove the remaining thermofluid...

    Liquid removal from a pipeline

    We've been trying to blow it out with an air compressor, the problem is that the pipes have an ID of 2", and not all the oil is removed. Will nitrogen work differently than regularly compressed air?

    Liquid removal from a pipeline

    My company manufactures a heater used to heat a thermofluid which is then transported around an asphalt plant to keep the asphalt hot. Inside the heater is a large helical coil through which the thermofluid flows. Before shipping, we test the heater with thermofluid. The problem we're having...
