    Relief out of Check Valve Body...

    I'm not sure what the rules say about double posting, so I'm posting this link to a post I'm getting no nibbles on in the Valve Engineering section... Link . It is about a Relief Valve threaded into the body of a Check Valve. Anyone have any experience/knowledge to share? Thanks, David

    Swing check w/ screwed(?) relief valve...

    I've come across a swing check in the discharge (vertical) of a Liquid Ammonia pump (-28°F) that has a relief valve coming out of the body of the check valve. Can't see exactly how/where due to insulation, but I expect it is coming out from a threaded boss on the check body. I assume it is on...

    ASME B16.5 - B16.47 - MSS SP-44 ???

    For large flanges (>24"Ø), I've always used B16.47. A question has arisen around here about dimensions for "ANSI" vs MSS dimensions. Seems a 30"Ø valve was ordered with 600# "ANSI" flanges. I'm thinking this means B16.47 since "ANSI" is now spelled "ASME". So the question for the group here...

    Automate Grouping of Sheets...

    I need to be able to print (via VBA on a custom tool button) all sheets in a workbook, EXCEPT the first 2 sheets. I can make it count the total number of sheets and tried to use: Dim tabcount As Integer tabcount = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count Worksheets(Array(2 - tabcount)).Select...

    CAESAR Load Case Trouble...

    I posted this on the COADE site as well, but it's not even being read... not much traffic there right now I guess. *************************************** Strange things going on with Springs... I have a model with Weight Temperature Displacement + Wind. Plus Spring Hangers. No Pressure...

    Excel 2007 problem...

    I'd like to nominate Microsoft for a large spanking. What the heck were they thinking... taking a program with a huge installed user base, which has been using the thing for maybe 20 years, and reprogram it so that it vaguely resembles the previous versions? It's like they fired all their...

    "Word Wrap" in a formula...

    Is there a way to concatenate things (other cells; "text"; etc) in a formula, and force a wrap to next line at a particular point? If I was simply entering text, I'd use [Alt][Enter] to do this, but in a formula, I can't find anything to do this. I'm hoping someone knows of an extended ASCII...

    Clarification on flow/force in bends...

    I've read through threads I could find on the subject and get, more or less, the same take I had already... Sum:Fx= P1A1 - P2A2COSa - Rx = M(V2COSa - V1) Sum:Fy= - P2A2SINa + Ry = M(V2SINa) And these forces are steady state. Anecdotaly, I've heard of slugs of condensate in a steam line...

    2 Phase, Flashing, Multi-Orifice sizing...

    I posted this in Mechanical/Piping & Fluid Mechanics section but haven't gotten any nibbles yet. I hope double posting isn't a problem. I am trying to inject flashing (60psig to ~45psig) condensate into an 8"Ø, 180°F Water line. The 60psig condensate tank has a level control valve. I am...

    2-Phase, Mult-Orifice, Restricting 'Sparger'...

    I am trying to inject flashing (60psig to ~45psig) condensate into an 8"Ø, 180°F Water line. The 60psig condensate tank has a level control valve. I am trying to get someone to convert the controls to Off/On style operation to minimize pressure drop (thus flashing) at the level control valve...
