I need some direction from some of you experts. I'm currently trying to start a new hydraulic system-piping is all carbon steel-contractors installed the piping, it was hydro-tested, chemically flushed, pickled, supposedly neutralized and then contractors went to an oil flush and had to meet a...
Can someone direct me to a website that has a metric pipe chart with wall thickness, working pressure and burst pressure ratings. Didn't come up with much when I searched on the "net".
Thanks,
Tom
I'm trying to justify energy savings on an electric motor that runs 3 hydraulic pumps. The motor is 125 hp, 480 VAC and amp load will vary according to how many of the pumps are loaded ( amp draw is approx. 50 amps with no pumps loaded and increases to approx 140 as work is done)probably...
I am currently looking at a hydraulic upgrade for a local industry, part of which involves construction of a new tank. The tank is to be constructed from 304 SS. Even though it is more time cosuming I would like to weld both outside and the inside of the tank. How much will the MIG welding...
How much energy savings, if any can be derived from replacing a 40 hp 1200 rpm motor with a VFD motor-this is to run a hydraulic pump-system pressure is 2000 PSI and most of the time only about 15-18 gpm makeup fluid is needed. The original system keeps the 1200 rpm constant and loads/unloads...
I'm looking for any documentation about groundwater contamination from mineral oil leaks/spills, i.e one gallon of mineral oil(hydraulic oil or engine oil) has the potential to contaminate X gallons of groundwater. Thanks for any input, Maytag
Some of you that follow the ifps board know I'm working some on converting two Komatsu 750s into railmount scrap handlers. The four that are now operating are being driven with two Sundstrand 250cc(Sauer-Danfoss)series 51 motors and run open loop. These railmounts, the two scrap cars, charge...
Is there a direct connection relating pipe failure(esp. welds in carbon)to increase in temperature. I thought I had read a thread about this on one of the forums-I've searched for it and have either missed it or dreamed the whole thing up. I work in a large minimill and our glycol comsumption...
This subject generated a lot of interest on IFPS board. I'm interested in any input from this group of professionals. Several posters were pro above the fluid level-several including myself were pro below minimum fluid level. The discussion started specifically about drain lines for valves...
