So I have an elbow on a 670 psig/700F steam line that has inclusions in the base metal.
We UT'd the welds and they all came out clean, but the actual elbow itself has these small (using UTSW) inclusions throughout the elbow that cause us to get thickness readings less than min wall. Using UTSW...
So I am a winnozl user (only program we have) and I have a tangential nozzle on a 64" ID vessel. Winnozl says that I cannot do this according to WRC 107 as Rm/2=16.08" and my center to center distance is 30.08".
But somehow the manufacturer (who uses compress) says its okay per WRC 107 when...
Has anyone taken any training classes on boilers? I am looking for a few good courses on boiler firing systems, coal and ash handling, pollution control, and general boiler operation.
I know B&W offers some, but they are done for the year apparently.
Ok, I have a problem. One of my contractors wants to move the centerline of a duct port from the center on the main trunk to 4" back. On all the ports in the main. Now normally I wouldn't worry about this but the ports are 22" wide (square) and the main is 36" wide.
He tells my bosses that...
I'm looking to buy book pertaining to boiler design and power plant deign, can anyone give me a few titles/authors to look up on Amazon. I just started in an Energy division and don't have any books to help me out. I am constantly borrowing the older guys books, but most are out of date or I...
I have multiple flows going into a deaerator. I need to determine the output temperature, but I only have the input mass flow rates and enthalpys.
Does anyone know a way to figure temperature based on mass flow and enthalpy alone?
I know there was the library thread on the other board, but what are some good text books I cna put in my library? Is there one Fluid Mechanics book that is the best? etc. (for a MEP folks)
I've found many on ebay, amazon, etc. lots of old ones. Does anyone know of any engineering friendly...
The company I am working at is seeing dark times, I have been looking for jobs in the mechanical design field (what I want to specialize in). My question is this, I have found a job that sounds perfect and I fit all the qual's, but it is a highly specialized job (waste water treatment plants)...
I have a 4" 150# Lug BFV on a chilled water return line that is leaking past the seat. I asked the owner and only the CHW with a rust inhibitor and am anti-bacterial agent are present. The original valve leaked and started to blow open even though the handle was locked in place. We put two other...
I have been in the field for a year full-time and I worked for about 8 months part-time while in school. The company I am at right now has 1 PE but he really doesn't do engineering, just estimating. I plan on being with this company for a while but am I going to learn what I need to know to pass...
