Good day everyone. I would like to rquest your thoughts on Nordlock torque verificaiton.
Does anyone have experience verifying that Nordlocks are holding the initial installation preload after X amount of hours of operation? Due to the nature of the Nordlock and the cams it seems like it...
Do any of you guys know if Lock-Wire is governed by any engineering standard such as ASME? We are looking to replace this method by Safe-T-Cable.
Thanks,
Does anyone know the equation to use to calculate the required torque, elongation, number of nut turns required to generate a 45,000 psi pre-stress at the root of the threads? The nominal bolt diameter is 2 inches.
Thanks in advance
All,
We are looking at replacing our bearing oil, Fyrquel, with a Mobil DTE 797 or 832 and would like to know if there are any major pre-cautions that we should consider.
Thanks,
We have a small boiler that has developed oxygen pitting. The boiler is of carbon steel construction and is 6 years old. I need to determine what the remaining life of the boiler is and the probability of its failure over time. It is difficult to do a ultra sound thickness test due to the...
Hello,
I am looking to replace an electric steam boiler that developed oxygen pitting. The boiler was manufacturered by Fulton however, I would like to find other reputable electric steam boiler manufacturers that would provide a quality boiler. Does anybody have any experience with these...
Does anybody know how to calculate the change in cooling tower oultet temperature should one cell go out of service? This is assuming everything else is held constant.
Thanks,
Does anybody have experience doing compressor washes on units which have a shaft driven atomizing air compressor.
I am concerned that water will get sucked into the compressor and damage it.
One solution that I am considering is placing a valve in the 6" line to the compressor. However...
Does anyone know an equation to calculate the 6th stage compressed air temperature inside a 17 stage gas turbine.
Knowns: Inlet Temperature and Pressure, Outlet Temperature and temperature, mass flow
Thanks,
Can anyone recommend valve manufacturers who make a good high temperature valve. The temperature that I am looking at is 600 Degrees at 100 psig.
Thanks
Hello everyone. I need help in determining how waste water is handled during an Off-Line compressor wash on a Westinghouse 501AA unit and on a GE Frame 7C unit. I can't figure out where the water ends up. Does anybody have experience with this.
Thanks,
Hopefully this will be an easy question for most of you.

If I connect a 1/4" pipe @ 20psi (alpha) to an 8" pipe @ 80psi (beta) will both fluids exit at "charlie"? Or will there...
Does anyone know why Sodium Hypochlorite Crystallizes in Pipe Systems. I am flowing 0.5gpm through a control valve and needle valve and the lines clog up and lots of white crystals form around the valves. Thanks
We have a large NaOCL tank with magnetic driven pumps that are feeding our cooling towers via cpvc lines. The pumps are operating at 80 psi. I would like to tap off this existing system to chlorinate our RO feed tank. I would like to install a control valve in the new NaOCL line to the feed...
